You may need to side load via ADB
your post also reads that you are unsure of how to do things so

Sideload a custom recovery? What? Haha
Your phone has the updated touch drivers. That is why twrp won't work. Go to their thread. Redownload the newest version. Rename it TWRP.img. Make sure its in the same folder as your fastboot files. Hold shift and right click inside the folder. Select open command prompt here. Connect the phone while its in bootloader. "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" "fastboot erase cache".
Good luck.

Need to unroot both HTC one and S3 (GT-i9300)

Im really struggling to carry out an unroot on both my HTC one and S3. I want to sell the devices but need to return them to standard rom.
I have looked and read so many differnt threads that I'm totally confused about which method to use and which files to use.
My HTC is rooted with a TEAM recovery, I've looked at the bootloader and it tells me its s-on. All I want to do is return to stock O/S so the phone can update to the latests release. I don't need any of the settings keeping, infact it's best for it to be completely clean.
Is there an easy to follow guide I can use that points me to all the files I need etc?
If anyone can help me out I would very much appreciate it.
thanks all.

Did you read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738 this is the guide you are looking for.... and this is the 2nd sticky on this forum....
and btw you should ask your question in the q&a, help and troubleshooting forum next time, not in general forum

Apologies for the wrong position of posting.. I have read this sticky but there are lots of conflicting information in there. Perhaps my geekness is just not what it supposed to be.

Sorry hit enter to quickly.
I think in general I'm unsure of some of the terminology used. It also mentions about certain firmware not having touch panel working after unroot etc. So as a non geek type, it does sort of scare you into not doing anything at all. I've looked on YouTube and there are loads of video tutorials but again, most of the links to the correct ruu are broken or old.
Hence my question. Is there an updated thread giving noob step by step instructions.. hope that makes sense?

Reboot your phone in bootloader, Select fasboot, then connect phone to pc via usb. Go to your fastboot/adb folder of your computer and start a cmd prompt from there. Type "fastboot getvar all" copy paste info here. Dont paste imei and s/n.

That alone had helped. I completely forgot you need to start the command prompt from the adb folder. I've been trying to navigate to it with little success

Thanks for your support so far. Please see attached. If you could point me in the right direction please that would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE.
I've gained s-off using revone system and I believe I've found the right RUU for my firmware 1.28.401.7 which is this one:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-zip/
How do i know flash this ruu.zip file to the phone? I've tried the steps in the mentioned thread above but keep getting errors.

Now that you are s-off:
1 -I would recommend you tu use the .EXE RUU and not the .ZIP RUU. Will be much easier for you :
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_jb_50_htc_europe_1-28-401-7_radio_4a-13-3231-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/ just place the .exe on your desktop
2- put your phone back in fastboot mode (reboot using power and vol -, select fastboot, connect to usb computer)
3- open a cmd prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
4- change your cid to supercid by pushing this command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
5- check that your cid changed properly:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
it should reply something like this:
Code:
(bootloader) cid: 11111111
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.011s
6- keep phone connected to pc and reboot it, check you have a good battery charge. launch the ruu.exe and follow instruction from the utility.
7- now your phone is back to stock, you are not rooted anymore and your bootloader is locked. you need the change back your cid to HTC__001 if you want to receive OTA updates.
-put your phone back in fastboot mode (reboot using power + vol -, select fastboot, connect to usb computer)
-open a cmd prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
-
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
-check that your cid changed properly:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
it should reply something like this:
Code:
(bootloader) cid: HTC__001
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.011s
8- boot your phone normally, go trough the setup procedure, then download and install all ota updates.
9- factory reset your phone
10- you are rdy to sell it, its now 100% stock, updated and s-off (dont go back to s-on!)

thanks again.

Your recovery isnt gone, The ruu process replaced your custom twrp recovery with the stock recovery of htc. If you want to re-install twrp recovery you have to re-unlock your bootloader trough htcdev.com and then download the twrp.zip and flash it to the recovery partition of your phone.

With a custom recovery (like twrp), you will NOT be stock and you will NOT receive future OTA updates. (you will see them but you won't be able to install them because you need stock recovery to install ota)
if you still want to install twrp for some reasons follow those steps:
1- re-unlock your bootloader trough HTCdev.com
refer to this xda video tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuIq0gmYpFA
2- download lastest version of twrp (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img) recovery: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/m7/
3- place the .img file inside your adb/fastboot folder of your computer
4- reboot phone in bootloader, then select fastboot and connect usb cable
5- open cmd prompt from you fastboot folder
6- type this command to flash twrp:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img
7- type this command to reboot into bootloader:
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
8- now you can enter the custom recovery

[Q] HTC One stuck in bootloop

My HTC one is currently stuck in a bootloop caused by a failed installation of an RUU trying to get cyanogenmod off my device. I am unsure which RUU to use because it started off as a Bell phone, but I unlocked it and I'm now using it with Fido (Rogers). Any help would be appreciated.

First you should check the FAQ and see the information needed to make a request for help. We need the results from fastboot getvar all (minus your serial no. and IMEI). This will tell your software version, your mid, your cid, so we can try and help you find the files to fix your phone

You have to go to HTCDEV.com and unlock your bootloader to flash roms
Unlock the bootloader at HTCDEV
then from fastboot USB

then sideload this Rom to your phone

TWRP / Advanced / ADB Sideload - swipe to sideload
From PC adb / fastboot folder
you use

If you have adb/fastboot installed and working on your PC...navigate to the directory where they are located. Hold the shift key while right-clicking in that folder, and select "Open command prompt here" from the context menu. If your phone is in the bootloader menu, and connected to your PC, the phone screen should say fastboot USB. Enter the command "fastboot oem lock"
