S-Off on unlocked HTC One M8 without ROM installed

Hi, I have already unlocked my HTC and tested a few ROMs on it, GPE was the last one I had installed and during that install I also set S-ON somehow. Don't ask me how. Maybe I never had S-OFF, but I did install a GPE ROM from this forum on it somehow.

I honestly don't remember the details from then but now I need to restore it back to stock so I can give the phone away to someone who shouldn't have to worry about OTA upgrades not working.

I have TWRP 3.0.0-1 installed, Unlocked bootloader, S-On and no idea of how to proceed. I found links online talking about connecting wires to set S-OFF, is this really necessary? Can it not be done using fastboot and adb?

I tried the correct HTC__Y13 Nandroid backup from this thread here (http://ift.tt/1hiEyLQ) but I don't know how to restore it. fastboot flash zip file.zip does not work, in TWRP Install it says the file is corrupt even though md5sum is correct. TWRP Restore doesn't find the zip so I assume it's not for that system.

All these english terms, and guides from 5 years ago are confusing to me, can someone please help me restore my HTC One M8 to factory defaults?
