[Q] Firmware update & S-OFF - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I currently have an HTC One M7 running Android 4.4.3 on ViperOne 7. H-BOOT is 1.54 and phone is S-OFF. I have a couple of questions regarding firmware update and latest Android versions:
1) Is there an official update from HTC to Marshmallow? I was thinking of unrooting the device and updating to Marshmallow if that is the case. From what I've read the Marshmallow ROMs on xda are not very stable. What's the latest official update for unlocked M7? On the HTC website (http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-software-updates/#device-content) it says it's Marshmallow.
2) Can I get S-OFF and update my firmware using a Mac? I could not find a guide specifically for this. I think I am currently on 2.24.401.1.
Thanks!

The latest official version is Android Lollipop 5.0.2 with HTC Sense 6
If your phone is already S-OFF then it will stay S-OFF forever, unless you turn it back S-ON manually using the appropriate fastboot command. Upadting the firmware on a mac isn't a problem but flashing the latest RUU (if you want to update firmware and software) will requires a Windows PC since it must be done using htc_fastboot.exe (not the regular fastboot) which is, afaik, only available in .exe for Windows.

s-off update to latest firmware, need some pointers

I have searched to forums under HTC one and cant find the info I am looking for. I want to upgrade my phone to latest ATT firmware that is available(or latest recommended file to use). How do I go about the process. I updated my radio to 4A.17.3250.20 my software version is still 1.26.502.12 Am i supposed to flash the corresponding RUU, if so will this flash a new hboot. I am s-off revone and latest TWRP installed. ATT HTC One Black 64gb. Thanks.
If I take the OTA update from ATT for the latest firmware will this replace my currant hboot and custom recovery, I dont want to loose s-off. I am coming from sprint htc phones and am not sure if the update process for firmware updates is the same, on sprint I could just bootloader flash lates firmware file. Would this be the same process for ATT version htc phones.
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-CWS__001
HBOOT-1.44.0000
If you already are s-off, you will remain s-off after upgrading to latest firmware.

You should be fine as long as your MID/CID weren't changed. Then you would need to change it back to whatever it was originally. Just don't switch to S-On.. you may not be able to get S-Off again

Thanks for the info guys, i am s-off stock ROM that came with the phone when i got it. I did not mess with CID just yet. I did have to revert back to htc stock recovery, update did not start up with TWRP.
problem with update
Okay, I took the OTA from ATT witch was around 225mb, it had a boot loop after install. When phone booted up an error said that update had problem and did not update correctly and I should wait for another update. My software number did change from 1.26.502.12 to .15 My WiFi will not turn one and camera app comes up for a second and vanishes from screen. I tried scanning for new update, says phone updated. How should i proceed now. Thanks for any pointers.

Hey man! what do you think about do the supercid, then flash the right Ruu, and start with a clear phone?
all is good
I could not find an ATT RUU for my phone on XDA but did find one off another forum. Ran the RUU and I am now back to stock. I did not loose my unlocked boot-loader or s-off. This time ATT OTA update came through with no problems.
My phones version radio is 4a.17.3250.20_10.40.1150.04L and software version 1.26.502.15 are these the latest available for att

Latest from AT&T, yes, but any of the international updates will work on your phone. Plenty of AT&T guys are running the the 4.3 leak with no problems.

How would i take one of the intentional updates, do change my CID for the phone to access the update, I want to be able to get the radio/firmware update, and I am not sure if I flash one of the custom roms the firmware/radio is not part of the ROM. Thanks for the info given.

You're s-off, you can install anything. Just flash the latest firmware from the firmware thread, then whatever rom you want. If you wait for AT&T, you won't see 4.3 until 2014.

If you are not S-OFF yet, do that first. It's not necessary for flashing RUUs, but will help you later with the manual flashing of OTA.zip.
There are RUUs available on the internet (for example htc1guru.com) for your developer edition M7 of KK44 + Sense 5.5. Flash that and check whether you get the OTA. If not, download the OTA package and flash via stock recovery.

you can unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then flash a KK custom rom if you like.
but to officially downgrade you would have to find your KK RUU and make your device s-off in order to downgrade the HBOOT and firmware.

Once your s-off, it doesnt matter which RRU you use, just change your CID and MID and flash any RUU you like, Dev edition (1540) or International (401) are the favorites and get updates the quickest, I converted mine to 1540 Dev edition.

[Q] Stock Recovery for CID: SPCS_004

Hello, I have been searching for about 2 months trying to fix my issue and I have finally decided to give in and seek some assistance from this wonderful site.
Current Setup: HTC One m8 Harman Kardon, S-On, Unlocked Bootloader, CM11, TWRP 2.7.0.2 (Sprint)
End Game: S-Off, Running GPE Lollipop.
I believe I need to return my phone to stock in order to use Sunshine to S-Off and update my firmware so that GPE Radios will work. I have installed the stock Sense 6 ROM 4.4.4 (Wireless not working) but now am trying to install an OTA software update. (Currently on 3.30.654.2) From what I understand I need to install the stock HTC Recovery, however My CID is SPCS_004 and I can not find a recovery for that. Also, what is the process that I should follow when flashing stock recovery, Do I flash recovery and then install the OTA? Will I need to lock my bootloader? I am so turned around in this process that I don't really know what Direction to go in, any help is greatly appreciated.
tl;dr: I need a stock recovery for HTC One m8 Harman Kardon (CID SPCS_004) and can't find it anywhere.
I have finally figured it out!
For others having this issue that may stumble upon similar issues. I focused on returning my phone to stock.
Flash stock HTC Sense 6 4.4.4
Flashed stock recovery 4.16.401.10
I then locked my bootloader
Ran RUU 4.20.654.10
HTC then accepted and Ran the OTA
I am now on Sense 6 running 5.0.1 with stock recovery and a locked bootloader.
I will be making a back up (saving it to my google drive to avoid this issue in the future) and flashing GPE.
This can be closed if need be.

You could simply backup all your important files, relock your bootloader and flash the latest RUU (7.19.401.11).
You only need to relock the bootloader if your phone is s-on btw.
