Please this one RUU_M8_TMOUS_1.57.531.7.zip
I am in US, need to update my profile.

Ah, OK! I'm downloading the latest T-Mobile US Lollipop RUU so you can just flash that and be up-to-date once I have the ZIP for you
Well, I was told I can't do the latest right away since my hboot is old. I need to start from original and do the incremental updates.
Only when you use nandroid backup (your no.4 is a TWRP nandroid backup) ... not RUU
RUUs can go straight to the newest
EDIT: Uploading the ZIP now, link coming soon

OK, this is what you need:
0P6BIMG_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_TMOUS_4.20.531.4_Radio_1.23.213311491.05G_20.57.4198.02_F_release_420431_signed_2 - Rename it ruu.zip for ease of use
So, to update on your Mac
1. Reboot the phone into RUU mode - fastboot oem rebootRUU
2. Flash the RUU, but use THIS version of Fastboot from HTC - fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
3. Allow it to finish the process
4. Once finished, rebot to the bootloader to make sure it's all correct - fastboot reboot-bootloader
5. Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset to be on the safe side
I am assuming you have the correct CID/MID already

No. You can NOT convert vzw or sprint CDMA "world phones" to gsm. You can simply use the phone on t mobile's network with vzw software,its not simlocked
My recommendation would be to simply use the phone as is. You can use a 3rd party MMS app if the stock one gives you trouble. If you're not a fan of sense,install a cm ROM,as MMS,you tube,etc will all just automatically work correctly with no workarounds.
My gf uses a stock mid/cid/firmware DNA running cm11 on t mobile and has been for several months with no issue

I'm interested in this answer as well. As I stated,flashing the t mobile ruu does not give you access to 1700 band LTE or hspa 4g.
So unless you just want to have t mobiles proprietary bloat ware,using the t mobile software doesn't give you any advantage.
IMO us developer or EU unbranded is a nicer way to go. No bloat and much faster updates

I have no idea why someone would actively want bloatware!

I guess if you're out of the network and in WiFi a lot,the stock WiFi calling feature could be handy,but google voice/hangouts let's you do the same thing.
Some of t mobiles bloat is in the play store and easily installable on other Roms. I put t mobile "my account" and "visual voicemail" on my gf's cm11 DNA and they work just fine

Now I have custom recovery. Do I need go back to stock recovery beforehand?

Actually, the main reason I want T-Mobile firmware is I want to use softpay instead of google wallet.
The other reason is that whatever crap I have now, HTC__017, it still has 4.4.2 and show no signs it would ever want to get updated.

Can you not use Softpay with any version? Doesn't seem to be linked to T-Mobile USA
Actually it is called Softcard.
When I had T-Mobile version with my previous M8, I was abale to use it. Now, whith stock HTC, it won't let me to install it saying it is not compatible. This is a competitor to Google Wallet from AT&T, T-Mobile & Verizon.

OK. Well, using the files I provided you'll be back to the stock T-Mobile US firmware and ROM so it should work
Now I understand how ridiculous it is. Softcard gives you $1 for each transaction using AmEx. So we have a vending machine at work, where you can buy junk food for $1.25, so with the softcard it is $0.25
But I've already spent $25 for S-OFF. Lol. Anyway, I'll try to flash tonight (PST) and let you know.
Btw, if I put stock Google firmwareofor m8 (I think it is called m8 Google Dev Edition or smth), will I be able to use duo camera effects like focus adjustment? And Zoe?
Thanks.

Do you mean M8 Google Play Edition? If so, yes you can as it's still built into the ROM
Could you give me md5
It's weird, I downoloaded it both from my phone and from Mac, neither is working.
