Hi! I ask this question because im not sure of which tutorial to follow. I have a canadian Htc One M8 with Sense and I want to convert it to GPE edition. And if I dont like it, I want to easily put sense back. What is the best way to do it

Thanks

Just flash a gpe rom, there is no difference in converting it except you can't flash sense roms…. Doesn't really make "sense" :p

I haven't found a good tutorial for doing this. Everything always says "refer to this thread" or "use this guy's instructions" and there's always some uncertainty in the mix.

Do I need to s-off the device to install a gpe rom? Will I still get ota updates from google?

Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp recovery
Backup stock system in twrp
Download gpe Rom. I like sinless
Flash Rom.
Soff not needed but can be handy in the future and you should get it while you can. You will not get ota from Google but all the good developers release updates quickly

but I lose my warranty at HTC's whim because I need to register at the htcdev site, right?
