I installed TWRP on my One M8 and i want to flash stock recovery for version 4.25.654.18 but i can't seem to find one. i looked everyplace possible believe me any help would be appreciated.
Hello,
I've moved your thread to the correct section to find help.
Please look here to find the recovery.img
Download the 4.25.654.18 Full Firmware from RUU (fastboot flashable) and the recovery.img can be pulled from that.
Good luck,
Sloth
I don't have s off so I can't flash firmware.

He didn't say anything about flashing the full firmware. He simply said to download and pull the stock recovery from the file. You can then flash the recovery via fastboot commands (you do not need to be S-off to do this).

What Magnum_Enforcer said above is correct.
BTW you can flash firmware if you are s-on...it needs to be signed firmware and you need to re-lock your bootloader
Will replacing twrp uninstall supersu or should I do that first? I kind of want to unroot too.

No it won't. If you want to unroot and go back to the stock recovery I recommend running the latest RUU. This will put your phone back 100% stock and unrooted with the stock recovery. The RUU thread can be found below.

This is the RUU.zip you want to use.
Edit: you need to re-lock your bootloader before running the RUU.
Instructions for flashing from hboot:
-using 7zip, extract 0P6BIMG.zip to ext sd card
-boot into bootloader
-make sure hboot is highlighted, press power button
-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update
-press volume up & let it do it's thing...
Any other questions feel free to ask here.

Sometimes if you are not using 7zip it will give you the corrupt message.
An MD5 checker will tell you if the download was good or not.
I use WinMD5Free

The key is that you need to flash and replace the AlphaRevX/Revolutionary HBOOT with the vivo-downgrade file that is mentioned. Once you have replaced the HBOOT, then you can flash a RUU/ROM and it will replace the HBOOT with an S-OFF version.

Ok from the RUU/ROM page why don't you try to use this one:
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.32.1010.1_Radio_20. 2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_199684_signe d
Extract the ROM.zip and copy to your SD card as PG32IMG.zip as instructed in the other thread.

OK, since you are having issues with your USB connection, then it looks like this is the RUU you need to extract the ROM.zip from:
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.21.1010.4_Radio_20. 2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M_release_194748_signed
Also to get S-ON, you are probably going to have to try flashing the vivo_downgrade.img. You may have to create a PG32IMG.zip file with that img file in it and flash it using FASTBOOT since your USB connection is having issues.
This radio image is extracted from RUU 4.14.405.2
You need to have S-OFF
1.Rename this zip file to PG32IMG.zip
2.Place PG32IMG.zip to SD Card Root
3.Enter HBOOT Mode
4.Update
Download

Why are you waiting for a "review"? Why not install it yourself and find out how it works with your device / network / geographic location combination, cause your the only ones that can tell that
Ok feel no difference coming from 28

(no offense) like written 1000 times in the radio thread: extract the .zip in your adb folder and type:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot

That's a known workaround, but many users don't have adb to flash with it.
And since the file named PG32IMG.zip it should be flashable via HBOOT as it said in OP like other radios!!
Those who want to try the adb way, just download the radio zip file from ARHD thread(it's in the first or second post), then overwrite the radio.img in that folder with the one you want and just run the commands as mentioned above or follow the instructions included in the notepad file.

Yes that definitely is a bad ROM.zip that is in the RUU. I have never seen that before.
Do you have any kind of virus protecction running while you are launching the RUU? That is the only thing I can think of that might corrupt the ROM.zip as it is getting unpacked by the RUU.

What is the problem with this RUU ICS ARABIC?! there is no one can support it
Needing some help if you anyone can help at all. I was trying unroot my Sprint M8. Something went wrong when I flashed stock recover wrong, I don't know what but the issues started after that, and now it keeps booting into bootloder mode and won't go pass that. I have contacted HTC Premium Support to see if they have any advice still waiting to hear back. I have contacted Sprint and they have told me to take into a store to see if it can be repaired. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to fix this? Or do you know if it can be fixed by Sprint of if that is wasting a trip. Any help would be much appreciated. Don't know if this is the right forum or not. If not I'm sorry. Thanks for anyone in advance who has any advice tips or whatever it may be..

Even though I can't boot past the bootloader mode screen?
Download the latest RUU, and make sure that the appropriate drivers are on your computer.
Also, make sure that you lock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock) before running the RUU if you are S-On. If you're S-Off, just run the RUU as is.
If that doesn't work, come back here.
Edit: Magnum responded while I was still typing. Listen to him.
And to respond your question, the RUU is run from the bootloader screen, so you're exactly where you need to be.

Now I tried fastboot oem rebootRUU and fastboot flash zip firmware.zip when it is flashing the zip in RUU it says

OKAY

Is there anything to be done from here or should I just take it to the carrier store to see if they can fix it or should I just send it in for repiar to HTC?

Sprint should be able to fix it. Having said that, you don't need to try and run the RUU from a command line. Double-click the RUU file from your desktop to start the installer, then follow the prompts on your computer as they appear.

I have a question im on a stock rooted rom with no system changes except for the boot up sound which i restored. I flashed the stock recovery and then tried to take the OTA but it failed about a quarter of the way through. would my best bet be to just flash the firmware and flash a 4.4.4 stock rom with the eye feature when available or do I just do a RUU? Im just trying to keep phone up to date with stock rom. any suggestions?

Currently there is no stock rooted ROM for 4.4.4. You can update your firmware if you'd like and then wait for someone to publish a stock rooted ROM. Otherwise you can troubleshoot the reason you can't install the OTA and go from there.

Is that even possible at this point?
Yes re-lock your bootloader and run the RUU.

Hi Sloth and thanks for responding,
I read that the Firmware I flash has to be newer or the same as what the phone is currently running. Is that true?
Also do I have to put the HTC recovery first or does that happen when I flash the firmware?

Yes I have noticed the hboot has to match the hboot for the RUU you are trying to flash for the last few updates.
If you choose the latest Full Firmware (Stagefright patch included) then run the latest RUU you should be golden.
The Full firmware will install stock recovery.

I downloaded the lasted firmware from HTC's website. 4.25.651.18
Is this a full firmware? Or are you talking about something else? Not sure what stagefright is.
I will try the FUU method that I found in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
BTW my hboot is 3.19.0.0000

You probably downloaded the RUU from the HTC site.
The firmware is in the link you posted.
I'm not sure what the latest hboot is lol.
Edit:
My hboot is 3.19 and I'm 1 firmware update behind I doubt the latest changed the hboot.

That is the correct size for the firmware.
The RUU is 1.5GB...you might be ok running the RUU without updating your firmware, give it a shot.

Was the goal to update the firmware and then the RUU?
I didnt even know the difference. I need the full OS I am pretty sure to put sense back etc.

If your hboot was outdated you would most likely need to update the firmware so they matched.
Your hboot is already the latest so you should be good to go with just running the latest RUU.
OK so I'm just going to use the thread to install the Rom. Any tips?
Thanks so far btw

Correct the 1.5GB file you downloaded from the HTC site.
Just make sure you re-lock your bootloader before starting the RUU.

So Relock with this command fastboot oem lock
So do I put the phone into fastboot mode first?
Also this file I downloaded is the actual program huh.
I will have to get adb working again. Time to download the whole Android studio again! UH

Yes boot to bootloader and select fastboot...when you plug in it will say fastbootusb in red.
Open a cmd window and type fastboot devices...if you get your serial number back as a reply you are good to issue the fastboot oem lock command, if you serial # does not show then your drivers are not installed properly.
The file is an exe/executable file right click and run as admin and it will start, read all the warnings and check the boxes and it will do it's thing.
ADB does not work in fastboot mode only recovery or OS.
