[Q] Debranding HTC One | RevOne needs unlocked bootloader?

Hi, new to HTC here
So I plan to get a HTC One and debranding will bethe first thing I'm gonna do. I've been searching though XDA and Google.
I understand the S-off can be achieved using RevOne's method, and if my device is S-offe I can change it to other (Super)CID
I've got few things I'm not really sure though:
1. Does Revone method (and the whole debranding process) require unlocked bootloader, I wish to remain vanilla if possible
2. Do I have to use SuperCID? can I used other CID? I need CID/RUU containing my native language.
2. After changing CID do I need to flash new RUU or can I just wait for the OTA to arrive and replaced my branded FW?
Well.. at the very least, I will appreciate if anyone can point me where to start.
I have somewhat read through the RevOne and SuperCID threads.. but testimony from those with success would be invaluable.
EDIT: did more research.. so should anyone be interested:

Hi Don't know what your native language is, but if it's Dutch I just debranded my HTC One from T-Mobile and received the latest OTA in the Netherlands.
I wrote a tutorial for it on a Dutch forum.
to put it simple
I S-OFFed an unlocked via Revo method
Changed CID to HTC__001 (need to find the best CID for your country)
Ran the proper RUU
Received OTA
You can then proceed to lock the bootloader again with revo method (won't show tampering and stuff)
and even go S-ON again if you want. (I didn't)
This shall give you a vanilla HTC One without branding that shall receive OTA's directly from HTC.
@Rubman
Thanks for chiming in!
No worry, HTC CID Lists are everywhere on Google (I'd like to use the HTC SEA CID for what it's worth).
I see, I also have received confirmation RevOne can be done without unlocking bootloader.
While I generally understand the debrand process I think it'll be handy to also have your tutorial. Can I get a link?
Don't speak Dutch, but I think Gtranslate will do, hehe.
Thanks again.
Sent from my MK16i using xda app-developers app
Sure you can have a link, I plan to write the tutorial over here as well but very busy ATM, but it's basicly just a collection of Revone CID change and then RUU install.

Did you get the One? What did you discover about CID? Changes GSM band reception? Can this be changed for carrier jumping?

I sent the request to add the 2.15.970.1 firmware, not realising it needed to be unlocked first, but a bg thankyou to the dev anyway.
After i researched a bit I realised that to simply flash cusom roms s-off is unnecessary and a simple unlock is good enough.
Anyway i found this great guide htcsoku.info/htcsokudev-news/au-m7-215to105-downgrade/ on how to downgrade then s-off or unlock with revone.
I managed to unlock the sim by following the guide as as far as gaining root shell then used this guide htcsoku.info/htcsokudev-news/au-m7-device-sim-unlock/ to simply unock the sim without touching anything els.
I then used theguid to downgrade and unlock anotherday, although it may be possible to follow the guide as far as gaining root then trying revone without downgrading,
Sorry this is my first so xda prevented me from attaching actual links, hope this helps some people.

Thanks a lot dude!
__________________________________________________________________________________
Thanks also "kirkintokyo" for the sim unlock link.. this will help a lot too. highly appreciated dude!
Im also having a very hard time with something.....
I really hope somebody here can help me. I'm desperate and have tried everything. I purchased my AU HTC J One and it had 4.1.2 (1.07.970.4) on it. I was anxious to start playing around with it so I followed an instruction on how to install TWRP. So I unlocked , Installed TWRP, then rooted. Everything was great until an OTA came out. I wanted to update but found out very quickly that without stock recovery I cannot do OTA. Well here is the real problem. I do not have the stock recovery any more and cannot find it. Another user gave me what he though was the stock recovery, I flashed it and then tried thee OTA. All I get is a picture of the phone with a big red triangle with an exclamation point. If I hold up volume and hit power I can see where it started the update and immediately aborted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really like to update to system 4.2.2 and hopefully in the future to 4.3 , 4.4 but as it stand now Im stuck with 4.1.2... I know there are some smart guys out there that could give me a hand with this. PLEASE>>>>

I tried using HTC dev site to unlock bootloader but it failed
Error Code: 170.
Error Reason: CID Not Allowed.
You have to s-off and get super cid before you can unlock the boot loader
Your software version should allow you follow this guide
Following that you can try the same steps I did, but well most likely need a different version of recovery, the non 4.2.2 version

How to s-off verizon htc one hboot 1.54

Hi everyone, I need help unlocking the bootloader or someway to s-off the phone since verizon blocked the unlocking bootloader for m7 and m8. I tried running rumrunner 1.10.605.10 which is the software number I have on the htc one. I'm coming from the htc one mini but this verizon htc one m7 is so complicated. Thank you all and have a great day.

Beginner rooting questions

Hey all, I recently acquired an HTC one m7 and I previously had an xperia z1. I had unlocked the bootloader and rooted my previous phone but coming to m7's page I've found that there are many things new here. First is the S-Off business.
I basically wanted to ask if there's a specific order in which I should go. For example S-off first, then root then unlock bootloader or anything like that.
And secondly, for the xperia line, there was a tool called Flashtool that basically did all the things you need to unlock/root your phone. I was wondering if there's something like that for the One M7 so that I can flash stock firmware if need be.
Also, I'm on kitkat 4.4.3 HBOOT 2.49 so should I keep some things in mind?
Also, what is CID?
Sorry for so many questions, any help is appreciated
Thank you!
uhh, I will tell you what i know here related to your questions.
Firstly, if you want to customize your phone, first thing is to unlock your bootloader which is easy to do. Then you need to flash a custom recovery. After that you can do what you like.as to s-off, if you don't have special requirements,I think it's not a must step.
Secondly,there is indeed a tool for htc one.you may find it in one's development forum.
May that help you!

If I unlock bootloader before S-off, will I be able to get back "UNLOCKED" status or will it be "RELOCKED"

yeah you can get back to full locked status, but only with s-off, be careful though, theres not alot about for the dual sim really, you can pretty much find everything in the general section for the dual. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495697
I think for your HBOOT, use Rumrunner to s-off. http://rumrunner.us/
EDIT: sorry for your HBOOT version you needed to use firewater s-off tool, but as thats discontinued, you'll have to try sunshine s-off tool which will cost $25 if it can s-off your device, it will run some checks first, if it can then you pay and it proceeds, if it cant it will let you know why and you dont pay: http://theroot.ninja/
if I remember correctly, CID is carrier identification.
the main things that matter, and that you need to take note of it your planning on changing them are CID, MID, HBOOT version and OS or version main (same thing really)
