Hi

I have a M8 that I is S-Off bootloader locked.

I have flashed GPE but wanted to go back to stock.

Followed instructions and can't get stock RUU to flash. I have flashed a sense based firmware as I know the GPE partition is different to Sense.

Currently have Clockwork mod recovery installed, and have InsertCoin custom Rom

When I try to flash either Stock KitKat
/0P6BIMG_M8_UL_K44_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_2.22.401.4_Radio_1.19.21331147A1.09G_20.57.4196.01L_F_releasesigned.zip

or Stock Lolipop I get the following error when using the fastboot flash zip command

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
target reported max download size of 1826418688 bytes
load_file: could not allocate 1573722768 bytes
error: cannot load 'ruu.zip': Not enough space

This is through USB and also fails via recovery

GETVAR as follows

(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main:
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF
(bootloader) serialno: ******************
(bootloader) imei: *********************
(bootloader) imei2: Not Support
(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m8_ul
(bootloader) platform: hTCBmsm8974
(bootloader) modelid: 0P6B10000
(bootloader) cidnum: HTC__001
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 0mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: off
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: 3aa067db
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
all: Done!

Any help much appreciated, not worried about staying S-OFF etc just want stock rom and ability to OTA
