How do I unroot my phone and completely go back to stock. I want to unroot my phone, then root again because when I download a rom it won't go straight to my SD card, when I'm in recovery mode.

yes follow the steps on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525
(1) Flash RUU
(2) Turn Phone Completely Off
(3) Hold Volume Down Key and Power to Restart to Fastboot
(4) Reflash your Unlock Token (the original one sent from HTC during initial Unlock)
(5) Enter "Yes" at Unlock Warning - System will not Restart
(6) After Restart, Shut Phone Down Completely Again
(7) Reboot into Fastboot and Check your Lock Status - Should now say "Unlocked"
(8) Flash Unlocked Kernel & Recovery Again
(9) Profit
I was trying to unroot my HTC One by relocking the bootloader then through SuperSU, However, I don't have TWRP anymore and I don't want to unlock the bootloader again with some form of recovery. (I have S-On)
Any suggestions to get recovery back?

So you unrooted it with a custom recovery and then relocked your boot loader? Or did you just have root. Are you trying to reroot?

So when I unlock the bootloader again, I would have to flash TWRP/CWM, then flash a ROM in order to get an OS back?
That's it

Basically, I need the 4.4.2 OTA.
I unlocked the bootloader. I need root to get S-off. Except I'm currently on S-on and the only way to install a recovery and get root is to have S-off (correct me if I'm wrong). Any workaround to this that isn't super complicated?
I've checked USB ports, and I can't seem to get my device to be recognized. "fastboot devices" shows up nothing. Currently unlocked, and S-on.
Forgot that unlocking bootloader again would wipe my phone, forgot to make backup, so everything's deleted ;(. Not possible to get s-off anymore?
Any help would be appreciated.

You just need an unlocked bootloader to install a recovery, when you are in fastboot (if you turn the phone on and do adb reboot fastboot, or hold down vol down and power and select fastboot when the HBOOT menu comes up) you can do the command line fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img being your recovery you want to load) you can then start the phone up, copy superuser.zip on there somewhere and install with your custom recovery.
All that said, you don't need to do any of that to do 4.4.2 OTA, and in fact it wont install if you have a custom recovery. Are you having a problem that it wont download/install. If your phone is stock other than an unlocked bootloader it will install (trust me i just did it). If you have stock recovery just download the 4.4.2 OTA file from the other thread, then save it to the phone somewhere, the go to recovery in HBOOT, wait 1 second and then hold up vol and power for 5 seconds (may have to do this more than once). Menu comes up, do wipe cache, and then do install from device storage.
After thats done you can follow my above instructions and root it
Sorry if I didn't state it more clearly, but my issue is I can't install a recovery. I can boot into bootloader and fastboot but when I type in "fastboot" devices on my PC nothing comes up.

Have you installed HTC Sync? When you boot into the bootloader then fastboot and then plug in your usb cable does it say "fastboot usb" on screen?

I uninstalled HTC sync so as to not have it interfere with any s-off/etc. programs. I still have HTC drivers installed. Re-install both HTC sync and drivers?

HTC Sync won't interfere with anything. You need that and the drivers installed for it to work, I would start there and see what happens.
I'll re-install it again.
Is there anything I can do to just completely get back to stock everything? Willing to manually update it but I'd like to be able to just go to settings and just update via OTA from there.

As long as you have an active AT&T SIM card in there it will update even with an unlocked bootloader, even if its rooted. As long as you didn't mod anything. I just did the update like this, it worked fine.
I've rooted and unlocked the bootloader before but I've unrooted since then. Is there still a chance I just haven't gotten the update pushed to my device yet?

Thanks. I have that file all ready to go in my folder. Only problem I have now is that I can't get s-off. I've installed recovery + custom kernel but the su binaries are outdated for both superSU and superuser. I've tried to flash a 4.3 version of superSU only to have the same error.
I followed instructions for root after I flashed a super tool I also flashed a custom kernel. After I rebooted is where I started to get the "outdated binaries" prompts.

Ok that changes things. IMO you need to backup your data, install the 4.3 RUU to wipe everything out and make sure you have stock recovery, then you can install the OTA zip from stock recovery, or go ahead and download it direct from AT&T. You can then root and go from there. Now as for S-Off if you have HBOOT 1.55 or newer I don't think you can get it. I can't get it on mine I tried every way possible. You don't need S-Off for this to work
I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader (went from TWRP back to Stock recovery a few weeks ago). I was reading about the RUU, but someone said you need to be S-off to do it. Is this true? And if not, how can I use the RUU then?
need to know this too mine was rooted bootloader is unlocked but for some reason its s-on
I cannot use firewater cause my phone won't boot past htc logo and when I true ancestor thru twrp it says failed .
I'm pulling my hair out some one help
I don't think you need to be S-Off. But I think you do need to re-lock the bootloader though not sure on that.
relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery, then use the RUU if you want an easy way to relock the bootloader and flash the stock recovery use HTC One 2014 (M8) All-In-One Toolkit from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065 by hasoon2000
or enter recovery , fastboot, then try running the RUU
fastboot oem lock will lock bootloader again...make sure you have stock recovery, you can boot into bootloader, connect via fastboot mode and run ruu from there
I flashed the stock recovery then applied the update for kitkat
All works well except i now have no root access. Streaming apps tell me the phone is rooted but apps that require root say it is not rooted.
I still have S-OFF but the phone is locked. how can I get root access? I cannot install a recovery because the phone is locked but I cannot unlock it as I do not have root in ADB shell.
Its a catch 22 and the only way I think i can fix t would to be to use HTC to unlock the device again and wipe all my data..
Please help

If s off.... Simply boot phone to fastboot and flash the custom recovery of your choosing from there. Then in your custom recovery flash the latest supersu.Zip
That's it.
No that didnt work because even if S=OFF you still cant flash if the bootloader is locked, i bit the bullet and used HTCdev again, phone is now wiped but was finally able to install recovery and root

I think he meant he couldn't fastboot flash it, which cannot be done if the bootloader is locked. But yeah could have used the RUU mode. Pays to research things

Lol... They both take fastboot commands. ☺
Alternatively the zip could have been placed on his SD card and loaded from hboot.
