I had bricked my HTC One M8 while trying to root it and had a very difficult time restoring the OS. After trying numerous things to fix the phone I had almost went out and bought a new phone. Lucky for me the deposit was more than what I could afford for which reason I decided to continue searching for a way to restore the phone online. I've created this thread in an effort to help someone who is in the same position as I had been.
I learned that RUU files were available at HTC's website for all carriers except for Verizon. HTC's website advises that your phone can be restored via Verizon Repair which is accessible within HTC Sync Manager. This didn't work for me. I'd hit the repair button and received a message that there are no downloads available.
The easiest solution is to follow this link: http://ift.tt/1U9eCWq
There are two methods 1) involves the use of a RUU file. This method is a little more difficult. The problem I had with this method is that I'd copy the file to my phone using windows and then reboot into TWRP and the file wouldn't be visible. This is also more difficult because you have to flash your phone with an image for TWRP. I eventually figured this method out. I had to learn how to use the sideload command within TWRP. You also have to learn the fasboot command. The easy way to restore your phone is to use the FUU file as this only requires that you reboot into fastboot mode by pushing the power button while holding the volume button down after which you then click on fastboot. You should see a notification that says fastboot USB at which time you can run double click the FUU file. If the FUU program doesn't recognize your phone you may have to download and install adb and fastboot drivers.
After I restored my phone using the FUU utility I later learned of a number of other methods that would have worked as well. All the methods however require that you have TWRP installed and that you know how to use the adb Sideload dos command. There are many tutorials explaining how to use this command. If your phone is bricked and you can't get into the OS then you'll have to use the DOS command to flash the TWRP image file. There are a number of sites that have ROMS for the HTC M8. When you sideload the file the ROMS automatically self install.
