If your phone is a Sprint then you're in the wrong section. If you're phone isnt a Sprint then thats the wrong RUU.

No it is not sprint, normal device.
for RUU, I tried sprint_HTC_One_M8_3.30.654.2_RUU.zip
and
sprint_HTC_One_M8_3.30.651.2_RUU.zip
Do you mean that RUU.zip files that I tried they are not for my device?
if they are not, help me please

First you need to know exactly which m8 you have and download the ruu for that model, if you don't have a Sprint model why would you try and flash a Sprint ruu?

There is no such thing as a "normal" device. Every region or carrier has its own variant. If you mean the EMEA versions (often called "international") than you are still in the wrong version section. This is specifically for the AT&T variant.

Only US versions have RUUs.
Go to the stock backup thread, find the stock nandroid for your CID, and restore it with custom recovery. As long as the nandroid was not rooted, you should not have root after restoring. But I don't see why you would want to unroot, unless you are going to return or sell/trade the phone.

Also, this forum section is specific to the US AT&T version. For your version, you might get better exposure on the "international" M8 section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8

You just said your CID is HTC__J15. So that is the CID! You find the matching stock nandroid for that CID.
On the stock nandroid thread, click on "Click to Show Content" and you will see the nandroid backup for HTC__J15. Its lumped together with a bunch of other CIDs. All WWE versions (multiple CIDs) use the same software, which is x.xx.401

I downloaded is zip file 3.28.401.9 - TWRP( the hboot is 3.19 hboot = 3.xx software), after that I did wipe every thing to install it, but the process failed.

What version of TWRP is installed?
In TWRP, did you pick the INSTALL option (on main TWRP screen) or RESTORE? Since its a nandroid, you need to RESTORE.
Also, are you ware the nandroid is not a flashable ROM zip? Did you extract the zip contents, and copy them to the proper folder location? See the nandroid thread, Post #2 under Questions & Answers, question #2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51536075&postcount=2
You obviously didn't wipe "everything" since this would include the place you saved the nandroid. Please don't be vague, and list specifically what you wiped. Often when folks say they "wiped everything" they don't really mean it literally.
Its also not clear to me why you want to unroot. Another approach would be to pick a custom ROM that is Sense, and just not too modified, and stay rooted. Just flashing a ROM is a bit more easy than restoring a nandroid.

First: I am sorry for being vague, English is not my native language, I am not a developer.
1-my CID is (HTC__J15), so I downloaded (3.28.401.9 - TWRP) based on:
(3.16 hboot = 1.12 / 1.54 software
3.18 hboot = 2.22 software
3.19 hboot = 3.xx software)<<< HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
2- I extracted the zip file and I put the extracted folder into /external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS
3-I entered to RECOVERY,Wipe,Advance Wipe. check:
(Dalvik Cashe,System,Cache,Data,Internal Storage) then Wipe.
and I Format Data and Factory reset, and I am not sure if it need all this but I did it.
4-I entered Restore, to the extracted folder then(Swipe to Restore). >>> failed
that is what I did exactly.
roms like MIUI has many bugs, nothing works, I think stock rom is better for me
and about the root, if I can upgrade the htc system and I can use it without any problem then no need to unroot the device. I miss stock rom

---

UPDATE

---

finally I did it
the problem was from the extracted folder
when extracting the folder and open it, there is another folder to access the files
I moved the files to the first folder then my phone was able to recognize the files
folder/folder/files that is my problem
folder/files good to go I moved the files to the first folder then I deleted the empty folder(second folder)
Thank you all for helping me
