Why would you take the OTA if you are s-off?

Can you not s-off after updating? I just bought the phone and coming from a Galaxy S4 im a little lost on HTC One... Or should i just flash the firmware from the bad boyz rom thread through twrp?

You might be able to s-off with firewater...but taking the OTA you will not loose s-off. I would just flash the firmware and a sense 4.4.2 rom if you flash the Full firmware.
If you flash the modified firmware you can flash any rom.

As far as I know only 4.4.2 sense roms can be flashed.
Others should work fine if the kernel was updated, as the 4.4.2 OTA came with a new kernel.

I have S-OFF via Revolutionary, using 2.3.3 rooted.
Do I need to undo something first before the update?

No, you cannot flash the OTA update directly. The Revolutionary HBOOT and custom recovery will prevent the OTA from installing.
Just go to the Development section and flash one of the many ICS ROMs available. There are 2 stock, rooted ROMs that are based on the official OTA/RUU for ICS that you can flash straight away.
All,
I decided that I do not want to wait for HTC to roll out the 4.2.2 update on my HTC One Dev and install a custom rom. I really tried to stick with stock because I was sick and tired of constant flashing and just want something that is stable and for work. But my itch is coming back and would just like to get a stable stock like rom ie Android Revolution HD 12. (Opinions for stable and stocklike?)
Anyways, since I have the Dev Edition, just want to make sure I'm doing this right, and have a couple of questions:
Since I'm bootloader unlocked, all I need to do is root, install a custom recovery ie CWM or TWRP, and flash a rom?
What do I do with firmware and radios? I know I should flash these seperately, but can anyone give me advise on which to flash? Again, I have the Dev Edition on At&T network.
Thank you all for any advice you can give me.

There's no real reason to flash either firmware or radio. but Install a recovery, which will root the phone for you, make a nandroid backup and flash to your heart's content.
I think you should read next link:

@vomer posted a detailed guide to achieve Firmware upgrade, S-OFF and other stuff. If you want to go with stock experience, then go with ARHD 12.1.
You need S-OFF to upgrade the firmware (which is recommended). If you have 1.54 HBOOT, you will not gonna be able to flash a custom firmware and you will have to use the full firmware package which I'm not sure if Vomer included in his guide, but you can always look for Mike's firmware compilation topic

This is a little off.
If you have 1.54 hboot, you are already on the most recent firmware. But because of that, you can't s-off and flash future firmware updates. You're limited to flashing custom roms at the moment.
How can I tell what version of hboot I'm on?

You're on 1.44 because your phone is still stock on 4.1.2. So you're okay.

To know this, all you need to do is go to the bootloader. As your bootloader is already unlocked, I will assume you know how to get here...
Anyway, you can just reboot the device while keeping the Vol Down key pressed and you will enter bootloader.

You could downgrade to a 4.1.2 rom & firmware by flashing a RUU and then take all the updates back up to 4.2.2

I am on 4.1.2, Ive tried to install firmware to go back to stock recovery and all that but no success.
I dont want to install a rooted ROM cause I notice a big battery drain from them
Root is not a cause of battery drain.
Use this: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/defend-your-battery-with-wakelock-detector/ to find what's drain your battery and get rid of it.

Well, hi
I was using on my m7 a rom for Developer Edtition a while, then GPE , but now I installed Developer Edition back and I can't get OTAs (4.1.2?)
So, what's the deal? I'm not using a supercid (I'm with BS_US001). What can be wrong? Because I lose a full day trying different roms, making a VM for Windows to try a RUU... and nothing
Thanks!
PD: Woops, I through I was on Q/A, a big mistake, can some mod move it please?
To get OTA's you need to be on a stock rom and stock recovery.

Yes. All you need is a stock rom and stock recovery. It doesn't matter if you're s-off/s-on bootloader unlocked/locked or supercid/other cid, but of course it's better to be s-off, bootloader unlocked and have superCID.
So, the zips available on htc one guru aren't stock? I tried that roms and nothing happened :/

Hahha no OTA updates, still with 4.1.2.
Well, I finally used a htc backup of some folk here and I finally have 4.4.2, but strange.
What's the correct method finally? I was tried with RUU Zip 1.29.1540.3 and Recovery 1.29.1540.3. No OTA received. (Using the correct cid and mid)
What carrier are you on? Not all of them have pushed out OTAs for 4.4.x, believe it or not. And you won't necessarily get older updates while you wait for it.

But shouldn't depend of carrier if I'm using an external rom, isn't? 4.1.2 is pretty old, when I bought the device was carring 4.3

Because it's the carriers that push out the OTAs.
Why did you roll back to 4.1.2 from 4.3?

Various reasons. I hate the company logo on the cellphone and bloatware, and I installed GPE to my HTC One for development :good:

Why not just run a later DE RUU and then flash the latest OTA?

Especially for 4.4.2, HTC official release was a bit longer than GPE (1month?) and I need to verify and fix some apps with 4.4.2 issues.
I wasn't thinking and I didn't take the OTA update on my M8 HK before I went s off and rooted with TWRP. Is there any method I can use to go to 4.4.4 from 4.4.3 without having to do a factory reset? I guess I'm so new to this phone I need a step by step.
Since you're S-off you can flash the latest firmware and flash a 4.4.4 ROM afterwards. No need to go through the hassle of taking the OTA. That would require installing a stock ROM and flashing the stock recovery to your device.

When you say latest firmware is that only the firmware zip and not the whole system dump? That term is where I get a little confused sorry I've been out of the flashing scene for a while with unsupported phones.
When I say firmware, I'm referring to radios, PRI, etc. Look in the first post of the link below for the modified firmware for the 3.30.654.2 update.

So the firmware is the only difference in 4.4.4 vs 4.4.3?
I flashed the modified firmware via hboot
