Variant software detected - unable to OTA update

I don't know anything about this sort of thing. Got a "new" unlocked unbranded HTC One M8 off eBay in the UK. Unable to update it OTA due to 'variant software detected contact HTC etc etc'.
After my total newbie investigation this seems to be because the CID has been changed to a supercid of 11111111. I believe this is due to it being a T-Mobile US phone originally and this is the way that the seller's supplier unlocked and unbranded it in order for it to be used in the UK. I came to this conclusion due to the model ID which appears to be 0P6B13000 which I believe is a T-Mobile US ID. The phone also appears to be S-Off which supports my very ignorant theory. I have included these details from fastboot:

I'm not someone who mucks about with rooting and anything else like that on my phones and don't really know anything about how to fix this. I wonder if changing the CID number to a UK version would help but I don't know what the original one is (ebay seller is no help) and am unsure if simply changing this would make a difference or just cause an inappropriate update to install wrong and brick the phone.

I would like to be able to use OTA updates. But do not want it to be full of branded network bloatware. I am not wanting to make it rooted and shove custom ROMS on it that don't look like it would if it was a totally stock version. Can anyone give me some advice on this issue?

Micromax a37 nothing appears by pressing any button but it is detected by computer.

I am using micromax a37 bolt and it has only 107MB internal so I rooted it and used Link2sd app for putting every app into sd card and I did it but after doing that I ran into some problem with all apps suddenly stopped and I will end up factory resetting every time. This time I used mounts2sd and I created the startup script and init.d. When I rebooted for mounting the sd card second partition, it booted for more than 10 minutes so I factory resetted it. But after resetting also when I tried to boot, it boots for a long time. So I thought of flashing the stock ROM and I used it with sp flash tool but I get an error S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032). Now the phone does not show up anything when I pressed the power button or any combination but when I connect it to my computer it is detected and the sp tool gives same error. During the flash I first tried with a37 stock ROM but second time I wrongly downloaded a37b stock ROM from another site but I got the same error in both cases. I tried different sp flash tool versions. Here is the logs from Sp flash tool.

I am making this thread so that any one who are in a similar problem can get solution from someone who gets it. Thank you

[Q] HTC M7 wont turn on , wont charge, not detected by pc.

HTC M7 not detected by pc , wont charge tried everything. No led , cannot bo into bootloader mode. cannot go to recovery.

I flashed a modified hboot to remove the red text in boot animation. The CIR.img in the package destroyed my phone , the flashing failed and it gives remote 51 : partition update error. I fastboot reboot to make sure and did it again.
After that my phone and got stucked in the silver HTC screen with the 4 triangles in the corners. I fixed this by deleting the CIR.img in the hboot.zip and reflashed . The phone booted successfully went straight to recovery and reflashed CYANOGENMOD 12.1 but it wont charge and it stays on 0% battery but the pc can detect it , and the charger will boot it into charging animation but stays at 0% with LED light .

I took a 1 day rest , i think the battery got exhausted, did plugged it in a charger no led light , no more booting into charging animation. Tried going to bootloader pow+vol down , nothing.

Plugged into pc , nothing no led no charging, did pow+vol down , still nothing .

I am lost how will i manage to fix this phone this is the worst phone i got in my whole life it sucks the life out of me
