A Question About Using RUUs - Sprint HTC One (M8)

I have a Sprint HTC One M8 and I am thinking about converting it into a Sprint HTC One M8 GPE. My only question is can I use the Sense RUU (off the HTC developer website) to restore it back to stock. The reason I ask this is will the Stock RUU still work with the GPE bootloader and recovery?

It's not possible to convert a Sprint M8 to GPE.

Why won't a GPE conversion work? Couldn't I do the GPE conversion then flash the Sprint GPE ROM?

Well if you start converting things...such as running the GPE RUU or flashing GPE firmware, if you are lucky it will give you and error and won't flash, if you are unlucky it will most likely give you a brick.
Neither of the 2 GPE roms linked in this thread are Sprint roms, they were made to work on Sprint by @digitalhigh and @Captain_Throwback.
The closest you will get to the GPE experience is to flash one of those roms.

All Sprint GPE roms are custom, flash them like regular custom roms.

[Q] Ways for getting 4.3 on M7UL

So I've been struggling to find out the best and cleanest way to get the HTC 4.3 update. For the moment I'm on a unlocked (S-ON) One with CWM recovery and stock 2.24.401.8 Sense WWE ROM with current CID being HTC__032.
I've been thinking of getting the developer edition 4.3 version but I'm wondering what's the best way to do it:
- find a modded 3.22.1540.1 Developer Edition ROM that is bone stock with no "optimizations". Can you guys recommend any?
- get S-OFF go to SuperCID and flash the 3.22.1540.1 RUU. Can this be done?
- wait for the update to be pushed to WWE phones.
What would you choose?
I'm running ARHD 22.
Mike1986 usually has a completely stock version floating around too. Check the Dev section.

Thanks for that but he only has a 2.24.401.8 stock version. No ideea if he plans to make the base from ARHD 22 as completely stock version also.

[Q] Converting to 'stock' GPE ROM

The only GPE ROM I've seen doesn't work on Sprint, since it is not GSM. If I use simunlock, will I be able to install a GPE ROM that has OTA updates from Google?
Thanks in advance!

You could install a CDMA GPE Rom, or AOSP Rom. There are many to choose from, Some Stockish, others not so much. Poke around the Original Android Dev forum.

Nocturnal's GPE ROM worked for me and I was SIM unlocked on a GSM network. I was on v4.0.6 though, not sure about the latest version.
Although you won't get official updates from Google, the ROM is updated frequently. Recently @gruesomewolf (who is the developer of the ROM) shared a screenshot of him running 4.4.4 and said it should be ready for release soon.

I'm sorry but converting this device will not work because they are essentially different from the international version due to the inclusion of cdma radios. You can install a GE Rom but that's as close as it gets to getting a GE experience
