[Q] Bought phone with custom ROM, confused how to restore to stock

Sorry - trying to delete this, posted in wrong forum
Hello,
I've spent the afternoon reading and researching and I'm confused. I'm completely new to this and would love some advice. I have an HTC One, I BELIEVE it was a Rogers phone, canadian - not sure if this matters. The person told me it was Rogers and all I did after was pop in the imei number into one of the unlock sits to unlock it. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any carrier updates when I finally figured out it had the Maximus 7 ROM installed.
So how can I tell if it definitely was a rogers phone? And does this matter if I want to restore it to factory?
It's currently not rooted, I checked with a root check app. The bootloader is unlocked. Can I follow mike1986's guide to restore it to stock?
These instructions specifically? He says only for users with .401 devices, how do I know if mine's a .401?
I've read and read and I haven't been able to find the answer. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Method 1 - only for users with .401 devices (for more info click here - RUU variants)
Visit this thread - [ROM] HTC One *STOCK* ROM
Download stock odexed version of most recent firmware and recovery.img
Move recovery.img to c:\mini-sdk location
Boot your device in recovery mode (power off the device and turn it on using power + vol down buttons and select "RECOVERY")
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard".
Navigate to the location of stock ROM (zip) package and confirm flashing procedure.
After flashing process is complete, reboot the device in bootloader mode.
Connect your device to the PC
Boot your device in fastboot mode (like you did during unlocking bootloader - power off the device and turn it on using power + vol down buttons and select "FASTBOOT")
Open up command prompt ( Start > Run > type cmd and hit enter ). The window that appears is called Command Prompt. <click here to see the image>
Navigate to where you unzipped "mini-sdk" package (type in Command Prompt: cd c:\mini-sdk). Note: make sure the path is not c:\mini-sdk\mini-sdk
In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You have now stock boot, system and recovery partitions. Time to relock your bootloader.
In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot oem lock

Also, is this method that same as using a RUU if one was available? From what I understand the RUU restore is just a simpler method?

Check your CID in the bootloader power + volume down

I used CID Getter and it says CID is ROGER001

From what I understand, the Rogers One is not a .401 device, so i think this method you state is out for now. There is still methods 2 and 3, but I wasn't able to find a Rogers RUU or stock rom backup yet.

platform doesn't matter
gaining S-off is all you need
once you do that change the CID to match the unbranded HTC One device and install that RUU
You might have to change the Model ID (MID) as well but that's easy too.
Just pick an S-off method, you'll probably want revOne since it is just terminal commands.

Thanks but is there a way to get Soff without HTC-DEV on a mac also?
Edit:
Sorry just saw that it is no problem with revone!

oh you need windows to install an RUU I just did it with VM ware and an old windows disc I had laying around

As mentioned above, you'd need Windows in order to install an RUU. Follow this guide in order to install a RUU, and since you're on HTC__001, download and install this RUU:

EDIT: You'll need to setup adb and fastboot on Mac in order to be able to use the terminal commands mentioned in the guide. This can help you do that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237
DO NOT download the Android SDK as it is not necessary, however scroll down in the guide and you'll find a small zip file containing a folder called android which you should extract to your Desktop.

Heey all,
Thanx for the reactions.. :good:
I could not use revone because i cant connect with laptop when on..
And downloading latast RUU.exe (utility update) for my region, also not an option..
I downloaded the latst .401 RUU.zip.. I am lucky that it can connect with fastboot. :victory:
So my steps:
1) Change CID from 11111 to my stock CID. (fastboot oem writecid HTC__001)
2) Download RUU.zip with my region CID.
3) Used Guru Bootloader Reset Tool to Lock bootloader
4) S-on using (fastboot oem writesecureflag 3)
Now it is waiting for 2 weaks.. 2 weaks with a Samsung GT-S5690 with android 2.3.6 :victory:
Thanx all I hope my steps will help someone else
