1: Search "Sunshine" in your browser and go to the website .
2: Download the Sunshine apk and install it
3: after installing it on your device go ahead and open it,the app will let you know if it is compatible or not .(if it's compatible than accept payment type and continue the process ,its worth the $25 for a great nights sleep)
If it states its not compatible than you may want to flash a stock based sense ROM and run the app again

By the way how did you convert to GPE without already having S-off ?
Anything I read states you must be S-off to convert from one to the other.

If your overall goal is S-off
Use your first stock backup or download a stock backup and make sure it's rooted.
It should be version 4.4.2 (1.58 firmware) stock kernel and run Sunshine again

do i flash it like any rom?
Most backups you download need to be extracted and placed in your TWRP/BACKUP directory and restored like a normal restore .if its your backup you made than wipe data/factory reset from custom recovery and restore the backup of choice ,when finished restoring than reboot system and that should do it
Just as a reference how to guide.the below link is an HTC one but not our m8.either way its going to work the same.

Im using a Nandroid backup from one of the forums, It is a zip file so will i flash it?
Edit: I got my recovery img and backup from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Not yet,you need to extract it first .go to extraction location and move the numbered folder over to your TWRP/backup folder.than boot to recovery and make sure its in your restore location before doing a wipe and restore.

Q : How do i restore the stock nandroid backup
A : In general :
- Place the nandroid backup unpacked on the sdcard of the phone in the right backup folder
* Philz touch uses - Clockworkmod\Backups\
* TWRP uses - TWRP\Backups\ or TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ (replace serialnum with your device's serial number. To have TWRP create the proper directory structure for you, just do a simple backup of just the boot partition and put the backup files in there) thanks to garyd9 for the additional info
- Flash the boot.img or boot.emmc.win file from the nandroid backup
- Make a full wipe in the recovery
- Restore the nandroid backup and reboot

Anyone know where I can find the AT&T Factory ROM i forgot to do a backup and need to put this ROM back on the device.
i can not find it.maybe few months later,you can get it here.
Is it weird that there's no RUU? It's been a while since I had an GTC phone so I don't remember how long it took to have one on a new phone.

I feel like it is weird, though the One is the only device I got close to release. My Vivid and Inspire were both purchased a few months after release, and iirc the ATT RUUs were available when I got it, but I guess that doesn't mean they were available at release.

Actually, this leads to a nagging question I have as a first time rooter. I want to use the stock ATT Rom, but root the phone so I can install apps than requre root access and am all about taking back total contole of my device.
SO If I want to keep the stock rom and just root it, I would need to back up the device?
So if someone could throw me a bone How would I gain root access to the device whilst keeping the stock ROM?
I plan on using Hasoon's Tool kit.

flash the stock rom through recovery and then flash superuser.zip in recovery. boom. rooted on stock
If you are completely stock then Once you unlock your bootloader flash twrp recovery. Then boot to recovery. Then reboot from recovery. Twrp is smart enough to recognize you don't have root and prompt you to install superuser and binaries. After that I found a busybox flashable zip via google, as the busybox installer from the market wouldn't work for me. This leaves you on a stock odexed Rom with root. Note that unlocking your bootloader will wipe data..so backup anything important first

did the international stock recovery work for you ? i was able to flash it but when i try to go into recovery its just black screen no recovery. Your reply appreciated

If you flash stock recovery successfully and you try to boot to said recovery, you won't have any options to do anything. I never cared to look at it on this device but usually all you'll see is a triangle with an exclamation point. That's stock recovery. If you want to flash anything, you can't use stock

I don't think anyone's still following this thread, but did you relock the bootloader before returning it? i was thinking of just flashing recovery back. I don't think anyone at the store would bother to look at that anyway. Whenever I go there, the employees seem to know less than nothing about phones lol.
Can someone who has a 100% stock att htc one unlock there bootloader and install cwm make a nandroid backup without the rom or kernel modified in any way and uploaded it? Thanks
you can remove superuser.apk and su binary from /system/xbin and achieve the same thing.
I'll try this for you. I assume your goal is to be able to re lock bootloader?
Be aware it won't ever say LOCKED again without S-off
it will be RELOCKED

I have the files. I am trying to make a flashable rom out of it. I dont need to return to stock. Just tring to get a bone stock flashable zip for us to have
I have the sch-i605 rooted with Adam outlers casual root... So I have super such, twrp, and boot loader unlocked. I made a recover backup in twrp and wiped the necessary files and flashed carbon job 4.2.2 ROM.. I got it all setup and it seems to be pretty stable so far. Downloaded additional apps that I want and thought to myself that maybe I should save a recovery of this ROM the way it is so that I could have two recoveries to choose from.. Figured if anything went wrongi could flash back to my stock rom or ifi wanted to flash another custom rom and then go back to my carbon rom setup the way I have iti could easily flash back to it.. So I did another backup thinking I would end up with two backups in my twrp/backups for but when I went there I only had the most recent one (carbon not stock backup)... It's not a huge deal right now cause carbon is working pretty well, but I feel a little in easy that I don't have my stock backup....
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated... Could I use Odin and flash the stock image in download mode or would that in root me? Etc.
Did you backup the rom the first time? You say you backed up the recovery.

If you have TWRP it will be the recovery that is there when you boot into recovery (ie. Vol up, Home, Power)
If you have root you will either see the root app in your apps or you can use the root checker app in the market.
If you use those files to go back to stock though you will not have root, be unlocked, or have TWRP. The only way to be rooted when going back to stock is to use root66 as the ROM instead of 4.1.2.

I'm just stock rooted. I flashed the Harman/Kardon file but didn't like it
I dont think there is one. If you made a Nandroid then you could just restore the /system partition and that should restore it to normal. If not then I believe your only option to use stock again would be to do an RUU as I don't think there's any stock roms that can be flashed. Well there may be but I never found one. If you're okay with doing a custom ROM then I'd recommend CleanROM or Android Revolution HD, both are stock but with tweaks and optimizations.
If you still wanna go with stock then to keep ur stuff just back it up with titanium backup and turn it into a flash able zip and backup ur internal storage to a computer or something then do it and when you're back on stock go into your recovery and flash the zip. Once you also restore your internal storage and do some re-organizing everything should be back to normal.
BUT research yourself first, there may be a way to do that without doing the complicated process of an RUU. Anyways Goodluck with whichever thing you choose to do!
