What I got out of that article was that HTC needed to prove that being s-off or even rooted caused the issue affecting the phone.
Edit: there is a thread about doing away with that flag. Let me research it out.

It says in the moonshine vs revone that you DON'T need to flash stock Hboot to s-ON? I'm confused at one point it says to next it says not to

Here's that section again:
"S-OFF: Moonshine vs. Revone
Revone does not install a custom hboot. So if you come here and flash my custom hboot and later go back with the backup i have here or with your own backup, you can then safely go back S-ON too.
Moonshine installs a custom hboot. So, if you come here and flash my custom hboot you will a.) loose moonshine special hboot and b.) you should also know that resetting moonshine S-OFF to S-ON is as dangerous as it is to do on my hboot, since its modded too! Moonshiners should also flash a stock hboot prior to set security back to ON."
Last sentence says to flash a stock hboot PRIOR to going s-on.
Edit: I know there are quite a few posts, but give it a read cuz someone probably asked the same type of question.

Returning to stock for warranty

Hi.
Here's my problem.
I work in the steel industry and keep getting fine metal particals on my HTC one speakers. I blew them only with my mouth so no real force behind it to get rid of the crap build up.
Now both my speakers are crackling really bad. Even at low volume.
Rand HTC this morning to arrainge a repair.
Problem is I'm rooted, s-off and running android revolution hd.
Wasn't planning on running back to stock. What's best prosedure to do this?

If you can use revone to relock and remove the tampered from your H-BOOT.
Then use an RUU to flash back to stock, and that should then have you back at stock with S-On and no tampered notice

Cheers mate Il try that.
I'm gutted. 10 days it's gona take.

If i'm not mistaken you will need to flash it first with the RUU and then relock it.

this is what i did
lock bootloader
revone -t to remove tampered and revone -l to change relocked to locked
run RUU
then fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 gives you s-on
back to stock, bootloader says locked, no tampered and s-on

Can I not just relock and s-on now without the ruu?

Yeah you should be able to relock now and gain S-On again. If you are completly sure that its stock.
But keep in mind the recovery will need to be flashed to stock.
So I would still advice doing the RUU to be on the safe side.

ive managed to relock bootloader and use revone to gain s on again.
having issues now removing the TAMPERED label.
keep getting an error
revone failed (error code = -2)
any ideas

Tampered means you have unsigned software installed, probably recovery is not stock.

Tempered means you have unlocked your bootloader, revone doesnt work with other Hboot version but 1.44
That why you're getting that error.
Also, you cant get s-on by revone

[Q] 4.1.2 to 4.3?

Hey all I'm new to the HTC one and am a bit confused. I just got this thing yesterday and have unlocked the bootloader(HTC Dev), rooted it(SuperSU), and tried to S-off but it ended at this"must sanitize, skunky rum is nasty
hold please..............................................
[TTTT********************************************************]" so I'm not sure if it completed fine? Oh well. My question is...Can I upgrade from stock(4.1.2 to a ROM like ViperOne(4.3)? With no problems? I used to build SlimRoms for the Samsung Infuse and I know we couldn't just jump up builds like that. We had to go one android version at a time. Is this the case with the HTC one? Any help would be appreciated Thanks guys

Which hboot do you have? (you can check it in bootloader longpressing power and vol- when the phone is off).
If you have 1.44 hboot, i advice you to use the revone tool!

I believe I do have 1.44. I tried running sujo(?) Again and this time my phone rebooted to bootloader then to my phone's main screen and I had no data and couldn't unlock my phone. It said adb failed to load or something like that and "YOU fix it.." so I rebooted it and it's fine now..maybe dumb question how do I find out if I'm s-off or on? Because it may have worked..

Reboot into bootloader (adb reboot bootloader or longpress power and vol- when the phone is powered off).
At the top you will see a line with the S-ON or S-OFF Text.

So, I tried rumrunner again and this time it worked perfect. Now my device says S-OFF!
Now, Why does the OTA update not appear for me? Is it because my bootloader is unlocked? If so what's the safest process to go from 4.1.2 to 4.3? I'd like to update to the ViperOne ROM. Thanks for any help guys I really appreciate it.

The OTA depends about your cid.
However, you can upgrade to the ViperOne, just flash it in recovery.
p.s. I advice to flash the 3.62 firmware, so you will have a phone like the stock but with the Viper

Is there something I can do to correct this?

So I had in the beginning accidentally erased my OS yet had TWRP. Well it took awhile, but I figured it out and I fixed it. Well I had the One S-off, unlocked with TWRP recovery. Not sure what happened, but I ran an RUU and now I am without an OS, stock recovery, locked boot loader, S-on (not sure how that happened) and I have supercid so my unlock.bin won't work. If I do the whole HTC dev would I get a new unlock token with supercid?

I'm not sure about doing the htcdev unlock with supercid. But since you still have super cid, you can flash any RUU you want.

I can't remember, 155 I think.. supercid didn't seem to do s.... when I was s-off. Anyways I fixed it. Had to go around the block, so to speak. Ran the newest RUU for AT&T (I have T-Mobile) then I got a new unlock token for the stuck supercid. From there I unlocked, installed TWRP, and root. Did s-off and then I flashed the developers RUU and all's well again.

[Q] Downgrade hboot prior to sending phone for service?

I have read on various threads that when you send your phone for service, it typically comes back with latest firmware, and as a result, latest hboot 1.56. Would the device be considered for repair under warrenty if it is completely stock, s-on, latest firmware, but older hboot? This way the device firmware might not be upgraded during service and being on a lower hboot might make it easier to obtain s-off post service. Thoughts?

if everything is up to date except the hboot, they will know you have tampered the phone and your warranty will not be valid.

Ok get it. Thanks.
Now can someone please point me to the source for hboot 1.56 (I am on 4.19.1540.9, but had flashed hboot 1.44 and need to revert to original hboot version). I am looking for only hboot and not complete ruu (dont hv bandwidth to download ruu). Quick response would really really help.

You need the original unmodified.. these are GSM Only. By the way, does your bootloader say tampered, locked/relocked or does it just say locked.

My bootloader says unlocked - I had locked it day before yesterday (at that time it said Locked) but I have unlocked it again now so it says Unlocked. And am s-off. Mine is single sim gsm only phone and firmware is 4.19.1540.9. So which hboot to download? Will hboot for version 4.19.401.9 work on my device and be considered stock for it by service center?

That will work ok, But... That's not the answer.. in order to return for warranty.. You phone has to be locked not relocked. Have tampered removed. Stock recovery. In other words out of the box software..

Sure I will install stock recovery and do Lock (not relock). Thanks again!
I can unroot after Locked? From the super user app itself?
I plan to follow steps:
1) flash hboot 1.56
2) flash stock recovery
3) get Locked
4) unroot from app
5) factory reset
6) get s-on

Be careful with hboot 1 56.
If you go S-On. You may not be able to go S-Off again. Also make sure if you go S-On to do so before Ota 3.**.***.*.

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
reboot 3 times and make sure it doesnt say "tamper detected - rebooting" and then shows TAMPERED again
as far as I know, this was introduced in hboot 1.55" End Quote. Thank you @nkk71
Though I see no reason to take OTA updates all the way to hboot1.55/1.56.
Not everyone I imagine wants to be on the latest firmware.
Has long as it's fully stock , HTC will honour the Warranty.

So you are suggesting I first downgrade and then achieve s-on? I am ok with no s-off. Getting warranty is more important for me at this point. I want to be on the latest firmware. So if I go s-on with hboot 1.56, I will be in a fix? In that case can I s-on with present hboot 1.44 and then flash hboot 1.56? Or it will not be possible since i would be s-on?

The hboot file didn't work. So I extracted it from the OTA file I had with me for 4.19.1540.9 and replaced the hboot img file in the zip I had for hboot 1.44. Worked!
But it was scary - I executed fasboot flash zip command and the progress bar n the phone was stuck around 75% but cmd returned OK. So as per instructions on htc1guru, I executed the command again and the status bar didn't move but again cmd said OK. Finally turned off the phone by holding down power button and prayed and turned it on. Phone booted with hboot 1.56!
PS: Exactly same thing had happened when I had downgraded to hboot 1.44

Sorry should have mentioned that. It goes like this..
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip hboot.zip
Now the first time you issue a command to flash firmware/ruu in fastboot it only prepares the flash. *You have to issue the exact command again:
fastboot flash zip hboot.zip
The green status bar usually does not reach the 100% mark. *When the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:

Got my One back! Camera is awesome now. Low light, normal light, sunlight... every situation the camera excels.
Sensor is ov6488, no date.
Only thing that that is bugging me, but I can live with it - using flash results in a very light green hue on the entire photograph. But I rarely use flash.
And the camera lens (and the flash module) are a little off-center from glass at the back, but it seems to have no effect on the photos, so I am fine (but just a little annoyed) with it.
At the same time, I want to confirm a couple of things -
1) Does this sensor have OIS - had read somewhere it is same sensor as the one used in M8, which doesn't have OIS
2) The photos appear distorted towards the ends/edges - a characteristic of the wide angle lense I understand - but with the prior sensor, when I use to set Crop as Regular, the photos use to get straight at ends/edges; but that is not the case anymore - no matter what Crop I select - Wide, Regular, and Square, photos are distorted/wide at ends/edges. Hope this is the way it is suppose to be.
