Hello Patrick,
at first I will thank you for your work. I used your GPE (4.4.4) the last weeks and this ROM was the best I have ever used - really!
Now I found on your site a sense version of a Developer Edition.. Will I be able to flash this ROM, coming from GPE? Thanks in advance.

That file on my site is the developer edition RUU.exe you will need either the developer edition cid or super cid to run it. I actually haven't tried coming from a GPE converted phone back using the RUU. I was always on Sense when I used it.
The only way to come back to sense ROM is using ruu?? I'm asking cuz I stuck on skydragon lollipop and can't go back to sense roms
Is there a way to convert the executable to a zip file to flash via hboot? Can you just flash the executable in hboot? Thanks!

Sorry but how to but into stock recovery if I'm using twrp??
And yes I tried all wipes
If you want to get back to sense.
1. Flash a stock sense firmware. (Note: backup internal SD because it will get wiped)
2. Boot into stock recovery wipe data and cache.
3. Flash twrp recovery and then install ROM it will boot.
Note: If you don't boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache you will have issues.
If you have any other questions p.m me so we don't mess up OP's thread.

Honestly, this thread is not the thread to ask about going back to sense. Please go into the thread about going back to sense it's in the general section and post your questions there please.
Yesterday I was in the same situation. I'm not very convinced by LP at all, maybe will have to wait some weeks until Google fixes most of the bugs.marken; said:
I can highly recommend the GPE version(s) which is/are available in this thread. I never run into trouble with them. They are quite perfect - I would never change (but in order to test apps I have to - anytime...)
Thanks for the information, next week I will give it a try and let you know.
Hello, I just loaded the RUU.exe but get stopped by the installer. It said I have to select the right file(?) (I don't remember exactly the word) and come back... I guess it is because I tried running my phone by GOOGL001, now I switched to supercid - but following a tutorial to get supercid, I recognized some warnings that supercid is mighty but dangerous if the user doesn't know what he's doing. I used the last 4 years Samsung phones so I am quite inexperienced in the HTC "workflow".
To cut it short: How risky will it be to retry the RUU by supercid?
As always: Thanks in advance.
Martin
PS: Am I correct, when I suppose it will work, because the firmware which is in the RUU.exe seems to be the same as in the Reverting-Back-To sense tutorial ? (Hoping that's not OT)

While this may be true, my connection bounces between H and 3G all the time using the provided GPE radio, and every now and then I have to flightmode off->on to get data working again. Restoring my stock radio from the box fixes this, atleast for me
There is a way, but you are renaming the file to 0P6BIMG...then you can hboot flash the zip that away...I'm guessing you are w/o a computer ? If you want a custom recovery to flash afterwards, find jball's thread. He has a twrp flashable hboot file. When you flash the 2.12.1700.1 you're flashing the stock recovery (unless you remove the stock recovery from the RUU 2.12.1700.1)

Was having all kinds of strange issues with phone calls using the GPE radio. Flashing the current T-Mobile radio (my provider) looks to have fixed this for me as well.
Hello, sorry when I write about one sentence about the "reverting"... I just took the 1.54... firmware and flashed it -> after resetting I ended bootlooping at the google logo. So I decided to give RUU.exe a try. RUU recognized the phone directly, so I fired it. After ca. 10 mins the update was done and the m8 is ready to use. Awesome!
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
"@moversi: M8 GPE Owners! We just received TA from Google!! I am very grateful for all your patience. OTA to start at noon on 12/5 (working to pull in)"
Oh yeah baby! https://twitter.com/moversi/status/540683463506931712?p=p

M8 Google Play Edition RUU and Flashable Stock ROM
7/27/2016 - Android 6.0 - Build MRA58K.H15 - Firmware version 5.07.1700.15
*Disclaimers*
* There is always a chance things may go wrong. As always, you take responsibility for what you do with your device, you should know what your getting yourself into. If you don't, STOP! Please do not flash this! You need to READ, READ, READ the OP and these forums until you feel confident enough to do so.
* This is not a general discussion thread. This thread is to support the RUU and ROM. So keep your chatter to a minimum. Again... this is not a general discussion thread, please refer to the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting or General section and post your questions there.
* This is not a custom ROM. These are stock unaltered images. If there are bugs in the OS, please report them to Google and HTC, these are things I can not fix.
Special Notes
1. I suggest you try the flashable ROM first before using the RUU to "convert" your device. *Flashable ROM is S-ON compatible.
Remember, you DO NOT need to use or "convert" to any GPe firmware to boot the ROM, it works fine with Sense firmware. There have been users reporting issues with false battery % reporting and might shut off around 10 percent or you might see a sudden 10% drop or spike in the battery percentage. Firmware could be the issue... I just don't know, only it doesn't seem to happen on converted devices.
2. The RUU is meant for restoring GPe devices and for those who want to "convert" their device to GPe. *Must be S-Off
3. There is a bug starting with MRA58K.H15 with Google account backup. On a clean install of the ROM or RUU you will get an error when trying to restore your account, you also won't be able to add an account from the Settings>Backup & reset.
Flash this fix before first boot, if you decide to flash this fix with the RUU it is important to know it will break OTA's as the bug is from HTC/Google so when the OTA verifies the sha1 of the services.jar it will fail.
MRA58K.H15 services.jar Backup account fix, also includes the DND priority mode fix

Prerequisites for flashing RUU's and firmware
1. Must have knowledge of adb and fastboot plus a working setup on your PC, Linux or Mac.
Note: Mac and Linux users, the fastboot and adb commands presented in the instructions below must include ./ so it would be ./fastboot or ./adb but you already knew that.
If you have issues flashing anything with fastboot that was packaged with the Android SDK try HTC's version. PC HTC fastboot, Mac HTC fastboot, Linux HTC fastboot.
2. HTC drivers installed. HTC sync should be uninstalled or make sure it doesn't launch when your phone is connected.
3. A microSD card
4. Must be S-Off

SUPPORT THREAD FOR GOING BACK TO SENSE CAN BE FOUND HERE
No support for going back to sense will be provided in this thread. Please do NOT post in the thread asking about how to get back to sense. That's not what this thread is for. Thanks24Ok I have read over the last few pages of this thread... lets clear some air here
1. This is NOT a custom rom.. do not report bugs.. if there are bugs, report them to Google HTC, not this thread.. The rom is a stock unmodified rom (or rooted rom depending what you downloaded). We do not need your logcats, we can't tell you why ABC app is not working or how to get ABC app to work. That's something that needs to be taken up with the developer of that app and or google/htc. It's a new version of an OS. Anytime there is a new version of an OS there are going to be app compatibility issues in the beginning.. Deal with it...
2. This is NOT a 6.0 general disscussion thread... if you have questions that are general to 6.0 ask them somewhere else..
this thread is to support flashing the RUU and the ROM only.. Posts that do not have to do with flashing the rom or the RUU do not belong here. Again.. this is not a general discussion thread. Please create a new thread in Q&A and post general questions there..
I have closed the thread in the past because of people being completely off topic.. This thread is to support flashing the RUU and ROM and any issues that have to do with flashing.. This is not a free for all thread.
If this thread does not stay on topic I will close it like i have in the past until people get the point... If your issue isn't related to flashing the rom or ruu then it doesn't belong here and you should post elsewhere...
And yes, I know I repeated many things in this post... I did that on purpose..21@graffixnyc, I've updated to LMY470.H6 and built some RUUs.

Uploading a stock flashable rom as well, but I'll post that in the other thread.21
Wow! Thank you! I am just floored by the generosity of everyone.. I really really appreciate it! Thank you! Sometimes when I read my threads an see all the complaints I think "why do I do this?" you guys have made me see why I do it. I don't do it for the credit.. I don't do for any other reason but for the community. Some people do it for recognition, some do it for the donations.. I love looking at my server stats and seeing the number of downloads.. That's my thing.. Knowing that something you have worked on has been downloaded tens of thousands of times by people from all over the world.. That's an awesome feeling... When I look at my Google analytics and see that there are visitors from pretty much every country and every continent it's awesome. That and knowing I helped the community is why I do it. Thank you!
