@bgcngm So you mean in storage, it will always show 10.xxgb only instead of 16gb?
As I didn't select full wipe in aroma. However I did full wipe in twrp. So will this cause the problem?

Correct, while the emmc is 16 gig there are like 42 partitions on that chip. 2.6 gig is allocated to the system the rest is the boot, radio, etc... What's left over is then allocated to the data partition. So there is about 6 gig taken up on every m8. I have a 32 gig

Do you lose the ability to record video at 60 fps on gpe? I can't find the setting.

Hi, so I've been testing.. there is definitely something wrong with H15. It was draining battery faster and running warmer than I thought it should have. Reverting to H14, it didn't have that problem and is stable. So I recommend skipping H15. Maybe the next couple updates will revert the issues because there will be qualcomm driver updates.

Not quite, I have the exact same device.. Telus. I have gone back and forth between GPE and Sense as a full firmware conversion more than once with no issues. Follow the instructions on the first page. You need to have both adb and fastboot installed as well as the HTC device drivers. Changing to cidnum 11111111 is fine and you don't have to do anything with the midnum, leave that alone. You can recover from this brick if the bootloader comes up and you have a RUU.

Hi there, I am new to HTC phones and have only been using Samsung and LG phones since 2010. What do you mean by the RUU? Because it looks like the HTC website has no RUUs for our phone.

RUU is like a factory image. Read the very first post of this thread; it has info on how to convert a non-GPE device to a GPE device using that RUU (and CID change). There's also a section on reverting to a stock Sense rom via RUU.

I undestood what RUU meant, but I meant where do we get an official Sense RUU for our phone?

Ok so there is no RUU for your Telus M8... Did you do the GPE conversion? If so, at some point I hope you had made a backup with TWRP before you did the conversion. If you did not all hope is not lost. If you didn't do the GPE conversion and you just flashed the ROM then all you'll need to do is restore a TWRP backup. Below is a link to one.

1. Download this firmware package https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24399994186368791
2. If you didn't make a TWRP backup download this backup. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24399994186369161

Now your going to follow the direction in the OP for Returning to Sense after GPE conversion.
In step 15 instead of flashing a ROM or RUU your going to restore that TWRP back up. You'll extract that twrp backup zip onto your sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/XXXXXXXXX "the XXXXXXXXX is the serial number of you M8"
That's it.

Thanks for the extended reply. I did not convert to GPE as I found out just flashing the ROM works perfectly fine. I did do that process earlier that you stated, but that really stinks that we have no RUU.

I haven't missed not having a Telus RUU.. the DevEdition RUU works fine, no issues. It's fine. I don't think there is much if any difference between 6.12 and 6.13 firmware. It's great to see enewman17 post a link to the firmware and a stock backup, thanks! It was new to me, so nice to have more options. Now Hidden Username has many choices.

Hey there, I just got Sunshine and finally have S-Off and unlocked bootloader. I want to convert to dev. edition, how would I go about doing that? I have the RUU RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_6.12.1540.4.exe and not sure where to go from there.

Hey all, thanks for your help, I have successfully converted my one M8 to developer edition. All I did was unlock bootloader, S-Off via Sunshine, change CID and MID, then simply using the RUUfor dev edition to flash. I can not believe how easy it was, I can publish a guide if you guys want it!

Did someone find solution to useless boomsound toggle that doesn't affect on sound?

Well... depending on your headphones the change is subtle. If your on Sense firmware that could be your issue and you probably need the adsp.img from GPe for it to work properly. I've been converted to GPe for a long time and boomsound works just fine.

Thanks for a reply. I flashed marshmallow RUU , that's all. Is it supposed to change sense firmware by gpe firmware? Or I need to flash gpe firmware separately? I have Bose headphones. I could clearly feel the change before conversion , thus headphones are not the issue.

Cool that you got it running, but I wouldn't bother with a guide. There is a lot of information here on this.
BTW, I am Telus also, and am using WWE/International firmware. :good:

Is this a flash via TWRP install? (fastboot flash zip doesn't work...)

Rename to 0p6bimg then copy to ext sdcard and do it that way or extract the img and... fastboot flash radio radio.img
