I've stubbornly tried to keep my AT&T HTC One bone stock, never rooting and installing every OTA update.
If I now want to go to the latest stock International ROM (unrooted), is it correct that I have to use the downgrade procedure, which requires unlocking my bootloader? (I was under the impression that before the latest OTA with the updated HBOOT, the bootloader didn't have to be unlocked?)

Downgrading firmware not necessary. Unlock bootloader and flash custom firmware, then install custom ROM.
Unlocking bootloader always necessary for installing custom recovery and ROM.

Okay, I'm confused. I thought to use the International RUU, I had to SuperCID, which is done via revone and a HBOOT exploit. So, no bootloader unlock was required.
Am I incorrect?

If you're going to use RUU to convert your phone, then you are correct. If you are just going to install a ROM only and install firmware updates manually, then you would need to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery.

Soff has to do with the hboot. Flashing a custom Rom changes the system and boot partitions. So flashing a Rom will not change weather you can Soff. With an unlocked boatloader you can flash recoverys and then rooted roms. Twrp will even add superSu to your current Rom.

Yea I know that part and I'm on hoot 1.44 just updated to the new firmware to improve my lte , but my question is that is it possible it I unlock my boot loader And flash a rom and then run revone , would it work ? Becuz the new firmware block the method for s-off

You can still unlock via htcdev. But HTC patched the exploit that makes revone and others like moonshine work, so... Currently there is no method for u to soff. That will not prevent u from flashing ROMs though. Just unlock, flash a custom recovery via fastboot. Fastboot flash recovery "name of your recovery".IMG then your free to flash away.
Now,,, I should note that I have not actually updated to .11. What I know I know from research on XDA. I considered it but since I already updated to 2.24 I decided to only flash the radio from the tmo update.
I hope I have answered your question.
P.S iPhone!? Really?' Excuse me I have to go wash the siri off my hands

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can point me to the right direction. I had a silver HTC One that I successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted but unfortunately had to return do to faulty hardware. ATT sent me a black HTC One but I can't seem to unlock the bootloader now. I am using the All in one toolkit but in the final stage where it uses the unlock.bin file, it fails. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I would try s-off through revone exploit. No need to unlock just get s-off, install custom recovery and flash away

You can unlock the bootloader using HTCDEV, but you will still be S-On. Rooting is also no problem. If you are trying to get S-OFF however, then I am not sure if that's possible at the moment.

Cool. Great info ...do you know if I can soff on 4.3?
I'm not sure. I have seen threads that say it is possible, but I have not tried it, since I'm already S-OFF.

If you want to flash a custom rom/custom recovery you can with S-ON. Unless you want to rebrand your phone or flash stock RUU/firmware of a lower version you don't need s-off. S-ON is security on and S-OFF is security off this is a mechanism to keep the user from flashing RUU/firmware that are not compatible with your phone. Check the OP of the rom that you want to flash and it will tell you what are the needed requirements. You will need to unlock your bootloader to flash a custom recovery/rom and to root.
Thanks. My phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked so I was wondering if I can flash a rom with s off

Read this from the Viper site! As I said before you need to read the OP for their instructions and requirements.
I was using ViperOne 6.2 with S-On, it was not until I went to 7.0.1 I had to s-off to update ruu and firmware. So, you really should study up on what the requirements of your device are. Shortly, S-Off is not "Required" only recommended.
