Sorry - not trying to bicker with you - but you're s-off.

You can go directly to ViperOneM8 if your firmware is current and that's not part of the stock rom.

What am I missing?

A Viper (or any rom) install is going to overwrite anything you have in /system including anything added by an OTA.

OK here is where im confused cos it says:
To update your firmware, basically, you do have two basic strategies available:

#1 Go back to complete stock, grab HTC’s OTA, come back to viper.

As EarlyMon says you're S-off so you can do the firmware flash yourself. I found the following guide easiest to follow

http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727

You can skip the early steps and start from SuperCID step, if you want. Means you don't have to edit the Android info text file to match you're CID before flashing.

Latest firmware is also included in 3rd post, you want the 3.28.401.6 or 3.28.401.7 download if you're going for a 4.4.4 ROM.

Do double check the md5, do read the thread all the way through first, do check back through the command line results to make sure flash was successful before rebooting bootloader or the phone.

Or go with the process EarlyMon put up in second link.

Thanks for the info guys. I managed to find a backup on my sd card from when i had the phone i thought i lost it. Anyway after relocking bootloader i managed to install the backup. I had to unlock bootloader to put stock recovery on and relock it again so i could get all the OTA updates from stock rom. All updated unlocked bootloader again and put latest version of TWRP on and went ahead and installed ViperOneM8 3.0.0 and just used the OTA to update to 3.1.0. I just hope i never have to go through all that again with firmware and just flash new rom.

Yeah, that's the hard way. Glad it worked out.

Maybe next time...
