Unlocking HTC One, few Q's please

I attempted to flash my UK Vodafone HTC One as I wanted Android Revolutiion HD ROM on my phone, i've sort of got half way and i'm not sure how to continue (or if I should)
So i've unlocked the bootloader, and flashed the clockwork recovery so my phone now says *TAMPERED*
It is still S-On and is on HBOOT 1.54 - having read around this cannot be done, right?
Also, one other quick question. If I ever wanted to go back to complete stock, how can I do this? I can't seem to find the RUU for my phone, and how would I remove *TAMPERED*
Here is my radio version: 4A.17.3250.14
ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED GUYS! I've rooted other HTC's before but not the One yet

You can't go S-Off on 1.54
You could just flash the stock rom and stock recovery, which has the same result as an RUU/
Tampered is removed when you lock, but you can't remove -relocked- without S-Off

Thanks for your reply.
So what you're saying is in the situation I am in at the moment, I can't flash the ARHD ROM to my phone without being S-OFF first?
It's basically just a waiting game for S-OFF to become available for 1.54 and then I could just flash the stock ROM and recovery and then S-OFF to remove the TAMPERED or RELOCKED.
This will be just incase id ever need to send the phone off to Vodafone for whatever reason

[Q] Just reverted to stock, safe to S-ON?

So my phone was S-OFF, superCID, custom firmware, running ARHD with TWRP recovery. I carried out the procedure to revert to 100% stock, I have a Rogers HTC One but a Rogers RUU doesn't exist, however I was able to get OTA updates after reverting to stock so I'm assuming the hboot, bootloader, recovery, stock ROM are all Rogers based.
However, when reverting to stock, I used an AT&T RUU to go down to 1.26 firmware and then Rogers OTA updates took me from 1.26 to 1.29 to finally 3.22 firmware. Everything at this point is stock and hopefully Rogers based, only modification that remains is S-OFF.
I need to S-ON for warranty purposes, I know how to S-ON, but I was wondering if it safe to S-ON considering I used a non-Rogers RUU to downgrade in the first place. I read somewhere that if I try to S-ON after using RUU that isn't the same as my carrier I will brick my phone, which is something I don't want to do. So is it safe to S-ON or am I at risk of bricking my phone?
My bootloader is locked, no tampered flag, hboot 1.55, CID is no longer superCID but ROGER001 (specific to my carrier)

Your good

If you have changed your CID back to your carrier specific code you should be OK.
However, with the 4.4 update, there have been a few issues with the Bootloader not unlocking again, if you are sending your phone back under warranty for repair or replacement then your good to S-On, if you just want to set S-on for the hell of it (like me) I would hold fire for now.
Its will be your only remaining access to unlock the phone in one way or another.

if he tries to go s-off to s-on on hboot 1.55, then there is a high probability, that after a few reboots "tamper detected - rebooting" -> and the TAMPERED sign is back.
I wrote the guide in a specific order 1, then 2, then 3, etc, because of that reason.
If the OP wants to give it a shot, he can go ahead, maybe the "tamper detected" won't happen; if it does, he will have to s-off using rumrunner, and start the procedure again.

s-on is not needed on waranty, there are always some devices shiped from factory with s-off. my advice is to keep s-off.

what to do? need complete stock to send back, currently at relocked s-on stock rom

i was running custom rom but decided the blue haze on the camera wasn't doing it for me and turns out htc are able to repair it once i send in
I got to relocked s-on only showing no tampered or anything by flashing ruu
running latest sense rom and hboot 1.56 atm
need to get back to just [locked] showing s-on
this is frustrating me I need help
i unlocked this originally through htc if that matters

You will need s-off to reset the bootloader back to locked instead of re-locked

S-OFF the phone. Then, use the flash the Guru Bootloader Reset zip in TWRP/CWM. From there, you can set it to Locked. But, HBOOT 1.56 has a lot of problems when trying to S-OFF. Its a hit and miss chance. Try using Firewater to S-OFF

the instructions on firewater on their site probably doesn't work with what I have atm cant link to the site yet not enough posts..
what is the best course of action I take?
im running latest android not 4.3 with an m7 not m8 and unrooted

i tried temprooting using firewater just to get s-off didn't work since i have newest android
can someone tell me what to do from here? flash 4.3? root again?!

S-off to a-on and unroot

I was hoping someone could help me with some info or point me to a guide/info pertaining to reversing/hiding s-off and restoring the device to factory preset/stock. I need to send the phone back to HTC because they sent a replacement as part of HTC advantage program (cracked screen). Will Sunshine reverse the s-on process or should I try to just hide it with one of the hacked bootloaders? If I use this method I should probably do it after a RUU correct? Anyways, I guess I could use some guidance regarding this. Any and all help/advice is appreciated.

Sunshine will not reverse the process. Getting s-on can be risky, because if your phone isn't 100% stock, your phone will get bricked. So to get s-on again, you have to flash stock everything (rom, recovery, hboot, etc), then lock your bootloader (make it say "Locked", not "Re-Locked")Only after doing this can you safely revert your phone to s-on.
Doing a quick google search leads to many posts asking how to get s-on, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57210034&postcount=41 Good luck with your phone! :good:

This is an excellent guide on how to unroot and go back to S-on.

Quick question S-OFF and flashing stock RUU

Hi Guys,
1. I'm on S-ON with hboot 1.57 - is there currently any free way to S-OFF the phone or is it Sunshine only?
2. The roms here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/ - Can I flash an appropriate one when I'm on S-ON with my hboot at 1.57, or would I need to go S-OFF.
I basically want to flash to stock to fix a blank IMEI, baseband and OS / firmware... I also want to update the firmware so I can safely use the Viper ROM... I've currently got it installed now and it looks ok, minus the fact half the phone's info is blank and I can't make a call I'm assuming flashing to stock will fix this.
Thanks guys!

no
these are old roms (your phone is running a recent firmware) but yes it can be flashed with s-on
You already have another thread for the same topic why creating another one?

Thanks Alray - I really just wanted to know if it was possible to S-OFF on 1.57 without having to spend the $25 - I thought that was pretty specific and aside from the issues with my phone, hence the new thread
I'm downloading the files now and will likely S-OFF later on, thank you!
