Do you have to be on stock ROM to do these things? I just flashed SlimBean 4.2.2 this afternoon
No

You have to use revone to do it.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Its very easy to do. Just use revone's method and go step by step. after thats done you can get super cid too to install whatever you want
S-off is not needed to root or flash new roms so it is not really necessary to do but is worth while for removing the tampered message and a few other things like cid. But the HTC One is pretty open with s-on in that you can install international roms without being s-off. Pretty much any rom is open for you without changing cid.
should i need s-off to install a international firmware on my at&t one ?
or else i can do it with s-on ?

Yes you need to be s-off in order to install firmware that does not match your CID or MID.

You need s-off if you are going to run a different carriers ruu if you want to run a custom rom from the international forum you can be s-on or s-off

I just went through this process and S-OFF is not enough, you also need to change your MID otherwise OTAs will fail. I will write something up soon on what I did to convert my ATT to International ROM.
Just got my One today, coming from an S-Off One X. Is getting S-Off deemed important on the One?
##Update##
Realized how easy it was to obtain S-Off compared to the HTC One X (which admittedly was pretty easy already) and went ahead and did it anyways
Honestly if you need to ask this type of question do not attempt it, just because its on here doesnt mean its a necessity...htc dev unlock the phone and flash a custom rom and be happy with that for now until youve read read and read some more....
I was trying to S-OFF my HTC One using moonshine's method but could not get it to work properly.
As you will see from the screen shot (attached), its stuck there and doesn't go further.
I have gone over the guide multiple times. Fast boot is unchecked , USB debugging is checked, ADB and fastboot drivers are working.
I am currently using a T-Mobile version HTC one with the following software information:
Android Version: 4.1.2
HTC Sense version: 5.0
Software Number: 1.27.531.11
HTC SDK API Level: 5.12
Baseband version: 4A.17.3250.20_10.40.1150.04L
Can somebody here guide me what I am doing wrong or missed out something ?
You can't s-off. If you want to know more just use the search function or Google. This has been discussed many times in many threads.
Soff was patched when u took the new 1.27.531.11 update

"How to Convert Any HTC One into a Stock Google Play Edition with Bootloader, Recovery, & OTA Updates"
http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...with-bootloader-recovery-ota-updates-0148068/
Pretty sure u need soff to do super cid
Or anything further than just unlock and root.
You may be able to flash the older 1.27.531.8 Rom and then try it since the bootloiader wasn't updated.
If your on 1.27.531.11 you have to downgrade with a Rom or ruu
Don't quote me but I think people have don'e this to get soff

Sprint=CDMA.
T-Mob=GSM. We use the International forums for the most part.
That explains it then. I guess I should head over there. By chance do you know anything about converting T-Mobile htc one to dev edition?

Yup. Grab the proper hboot for your device from rumrunner.us, follow the instructions to flash it, change your CID to SuperCID and run the dev. Ed. RUU. Couldn't be much easier. (Addition: You must be S-Off prior to doing this)
(With that HBOOT you can also change the MID to Dev. Ed. and use the actual Dev. Ed CID too if you wish. That's how I normally do it.)
Dev Ed Info:
CID: BS__001
MID: PN0712000
Good thread on CID/MID inffo and RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823
htc1guru.com also has most of the RUU files.
I've converted mine from T-Mobile to INT'L, GPe, Dev and back several times. That HBOOT above is a life-saver.
Good luck!

Not if you're T-Mobile.
They list the different HBOOTs and what device they are for. Not sure it really makes a huge difference, but probably good to stick with what device you have.
Compiled some links (working on my own "guide"):
http://rumrunner.us/hboots/ (Allows running of "fastboot oem writemid")
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823 (List of CID/MID combinations for every version of the HTC One you can think of.)
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/ (Nearly every RUU out there except GPe)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781 (GPe RUU zip files and instructions.)
Hope it helps.

100 percent personal preference. I *love* the sense 5.5 quick settings tiles, but also really like GPe.
Really tough decision for me on that one. Eventually went with GPE and an xposed-mod to change the default behavior of the tiles. (big fan of Advanced Reboot and Gravitybox xposed-mods)
I've gone back and forth so many times though that I've got it down to a 15 minute process. (Yeah, it's that bad...I can't stop....I need help...)
So I wrote a quick guide. Wanna test it? Let me know if it works/what steps I may be missing:
Prerequisites:
Must be Unlocked (HTCDev)
Must be S-OFF (Rumrunner / revone)
Windows 7 - Using WIndows 8 will mess you up. Don't do it.
(I should probably put the standard disclaimer here, but if they are unlocked and S-Off, well..their warranty is already voided, amirite?)
Download a modified HBOOT for your device here:
http://rumrunner.us/hboots/
Find the CID & MID info needed for your desired conversion here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823
(Example: Dev Edition - CID: HTC__001 and MID: PN0712000
Download the RUU file for your conversion here:
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
Or if converting to GPE, from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
Now that you have everything you need:
Flash the modified HBOOT:
From bootloader/fastboot USB mode:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip hboot_rumrunner_<XXXYYYZZZ>.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Change your CID/MID
Code:
fastboot oem writeCID xxxxxxxx
fastboot oem writemid PN07xxxxxx
Run the RUU executable ot (for GPe):
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name of GPe zipfile.zip>
RUU exe will reboot your device, GPe zip will require you to:
Code:
fastboot reboot
From here, any OTA's should be downloadable/flashable through the OS.

since im already s-off and hboot already flashed, all i have to do is set cid and mid and flash ruu? damn thats easy. if i use the dev edition, will it basically be the same as my stock t-mobile minus the bloat? does it function the same as far as signal and all?

Yeppers. Well, for me anyway. Some folks reported better coverage/bars by flashing the T-Mob radio after, but...meh. Placebo.
Dev edition will actually be one step above your T-Mo edition since they are on 4.4 with Sense 5.5 already if I am not mistaken. I believe the Int'l edition is also on 4.4 and Sense 5.5. (blinkfeed can be disabled and the quick settings tiles can be changed/re-arranged)
Good stuff.

what did you do to get s-off on your sprint phone, i've tried rumrunner and firewater, and every single step in the guides, but i can't get it to gain s-off.
i do have the bootloader unlocked via htc dev, and twrp, and currently running vipermax rom on it. is there something i'm missing with the sprint phones?
