I don't want to upgrade to lollipop and I've frozen the updater app, but I still get these terrible popups that ask me to update. I've rooted, s-offed, installed twrp, and completely modded the system, so there's no way the update would work anyway. If anyone has a way to get rid of these popups, please help.

Yes. Flash a custom ROM. There are several that are very near stock (I recommend MaximusHD). Being on the stock ROM is what is prompting you to update via OTA.

Pardon?
I would love to try a custom rom but the htc One M8 I'm asking about is my dad's and he was reluctant to even let me do what I've done so far. I need a stock solution. Would doing the update and letting it fail keep the pop-up out of my hair for a while? Is there an activity I can freeze in some system app from Rom Toolbox or something?

No. It won't.
Tell your Dad not to worry.
Since you are still running the stock ROM, go to settings > about > more, and post what it says next to build number.
The build number for me wasn't exactly where you said but that's ok. On a side note it really sucks that you can't copy things like build number right from the settings.
Build Number: 3.28.605.4 CL390638 release-keys

Sorry fat thumb.
I've frozen all the apps mentioned but after a reboot the problem persists. If I flashed a stock rom would it go away?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Try use a root explorer to rename those two apks to .bak then reboot.
CheckinProvider.apk --> CheckinProvider.bak
updater.apk --> updater.bak
That's how I do it.
Sorry I wasn't specific, but what I meant by freeze was that I renamed them to .app. This didn't fix anything though.

Then the software updates tab is gone, right ?
Also try change this in build.prop
ro.config.htc.enableCOTA=1
to
ro.config.htc.enableCOTA=0
Other than this, no more idea.
I'm very confused. What update tab exactly are you referring to, and I don't even have that line in my build.prop according to Rom Toolbox.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
I mean when you go to settings - about - you don't see software updates on top after you froze those apks.
I'm outside and replying you on mobile. Can't attach a screenshot.
Can you attach here your build.prop then I'll check it later when I'm home
(in next two hours)
I don't see anything about an update in About but I don't remember seeing one earlier either. Either way an update button is not what is annoying. The pop-up is my only concern. My dad won't update android manually and it would fail anyway but a phone that bullies it's user ever few minutes to update is unbearable. Is there an easy way to upload a file here from my phone without linking to a Google Drive file?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
You don't see that because you already froze the apks.
I never attach anything from phone, only from PC. Just zip the build.prop and attach here, no need dropbox or gdrive.

Entirely up to you, honestly it isn't that hard to make a backup of all your apps with 'Helium' and restore onto the stock rom, etc. It's the challenge everyone faces when flashing ROMs. I would wait until there's an update and see what changes it brings before reverting. But you will want to download the stock .tar for instances you need to go back to stock.
Is there a way to root the device again and still maintain having all blotware removed? Or will it add back all carrier and third party apps?

If you did a nand backup, it will install the bloat again and also with the .tar file unless stated bloat has been removed.

All official updates are complete with bloat, the only way is to install the update and remove the bloat afterwards or wait for someone to release a debloated rooted build.

Just wait. When an official update is released a debloated version usually appears on the forums that is prerooted and ready for CWM/TWRP.
I'm also getting the same message. Is it because super user is installed or because of my custom recovery? Or both? If I remove super user will it work? Or would I also need to flash the stock recovery?

It's because we rooted, but uninstalling it won't reset it because of the ticker, anything installed after the factory condition will show it as custom.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
There is no official stock (yet) so your stuck like that
But if your rooted in the first place why does it matter you can install any firmware/software updates yourself
Official stock is out. Check the general forum.

In the future, it helps a lot if you include more information. Just saying somethings wrong doesn't give anyone much to go on when trying to help. Errors, logs, descriptions of the issue are the first things anyone will ask you for, so it will save you a good bit of time if you include as much as you can in your first post.
In your case, I am just assuming you got a status error related to your firmware build. CM doesn't keep their updater-scripts updated with new firmware versions, so you will have to manually edit the script to either include your firmware version, or delete all "assert" lines. You will also probably need to delete the rom signature files in the meta-inf folder.
Is there another way just to flash that?

nope. unless someone has posted a fixed version of the rom somewhere in the roms thread. Then you can flash that instead. There is no other way around it though as the very first action taken during flash is to check your firmware version against those included in the script as ok to flash on. If it does not match, it will automatically error out. This was done to prevent people from flashing the rom on older builds which proved to be much more unstable. At the time it was a good idea, but only if they intended to update the scripts every time a new firmware was released. Since they are not doing this, it now causes everyone who updated to newer builds to not be able to flash. You should probably try to address this in the roms thread if it hasnt already been done.
Thanks dude

Okay if i go 100% to stock 4.2.2 the version my phone came with from Verizon can i remove root and take OTA update and stay s-off/unlocked or will the OTA re-lock/s-on or no ive heard mixed answers about this thank you for any help.
Currently our OTA updates will not reset the lock status or secure flag. You must be completely stock though. If you have one thing modified in system, you will have update issues.

Not all of us can take the update. Mine keeps going into bootloop twrp and it will not take.
Easiest way is to just freeze software update in titanium backup
From Reddit:
I can confirm. Go into Titanium Backup and freeze/uninstall 'Software Update X.X.X.X'.
I did this to my phone yesterday and it got rid of that annoying notification.
Click to expand...

Another solution:
I actually used a root file explorer and renamed the System Update APK to append a ".bak" on the end. This way I can change it back later if I do want to update, and I didn't want to use Titanium. This worked.

And another question. Will adaway work with 4.4.4? I remember when I rooted my note 2, it had 4.4.3 or something like that, and adaway didn't work. Looked up why, and people were saying because of jellybean.
Pretty much the only reason why I wanna root again is for ad blocking, cpu sleeper, and get rid of a bunch of bloatware.

not through the settings but you could just download the firmware package from samfirmware.com and then flash it with Odin. It will give you the full update just as the method you mentioned in your post
