Can I flash stock M8 ROM on M7 device? If yes, can I use one from official HTC site?
You cannot flash a stock M8 rom on an HTC One M7. You can try, but the result will likely be a softbrick, or even worse if you're S-OFF.
don't do it. You'll brick your phone. M8 uses different hardware than M7 and the Kernel will be looking for that.

Hello friends. I recently converted my stock HTC One to a Stock HTC One GPE via S-OFF and RUU. I also have my device rooted and I have TWRP recovery. If I were to create a NANDroid backup and flash a custom ROM (thinking of flashing Bigxie or ARHD) to my converted HTC One, would there be a possibility of me bricking my phone or am I completely fine? I am only flashing a custom ROM because the stock GPE seems to be giving me mediocre battery life (google services is hogging my battery.)
As long as it is for HTC one, generally you shouldn't have an issue. Don't lock bootloader if you run into issues and keep your s-off
Hello. My Sprint HTC One has always been an M7wls or (spr), and after a CM12 update, it now says it is an M7. I would like to proceed with caution, is it okay to install an M7 (no carrier) rom now? Thanks!

AFAIK, Sprint phones have different mount points than others so I'd advise against it.
I have an HTC One M8 and I'm running a Viper One M8 2.5.0 I'm thinking of going back to stock and I was suggested to use an HTC One Sprint RUU specifically the one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173 . I just want to know if this is completely safe and will not destroy my htc one m8.

It's safe:thumbup:
Click the second link in my sig and scroll down to the RUU section. There are instructions there on how to run the RUU. If you're S-on you'll need to relock your bootloader using the command fastboot oem lock prior to using the RUU.
Ok so, I just unlocked the bootloader and rooted my HTC one M7 GPE (original, not converted). It's still S-ON but I think I can still flash roms right? I want to get the ARHD rom but I don't know if it's only for standard M7s or if it will work with my GPE M7...
Thanks in advance
