[Q] Unroot help [ Newbie to Android ] - AT&T HTC One (M7)

Hi, I recently purchased an HTC ONE Carrier unlocked AT&T and this is my first ever android phone. I wanted to get rid of the bloatware so by online guides i rooted the phone somehow but i want to unroot it again since its getting too technical for me to handle the weird updates for this SuperSU thing it restarts my phone when i try to update it. I want to unroot the device by any means and bring it to stock, i donot have the stock firmware with me which is 1.26.502.10, it seems there is also something called the modelid and cid which have to match, i donot even know how to flash things or what does it even mean. Can someone please respond with a highly detailed unrooting process for my phone as its just been a week since i bought this phone and im regretting messing with it. Would be a huge favor to me thanks.

When i select SuperSU it gives me a message saying " The SU Binary Needs to be updated.Continue? " Hence i cannot access the settings, i will await your response on this and then proceed with the uninstallation. P.S this would only remove SuperSU how do i get to relock my device? BTW Thank you very much for the response, would be glad to receive further help from you mate.

I tried uninstalling the SuperSU from the app drawer but the uninstall icon is greyed out, also when i try to open the app it says The SU binary needs an update, if i select normal update it restarts my phone and if i select twrp it takes me to the bootlogger mode from where i have no clue what to do, please help.

Humm.. well I'm not able to reproduce the error so I'm kinda at a loss here..
do you know how to flash the superSU from recovery ?
this is the newest one here >> http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
put that zip file in your sdcard and install(flash) it from recovery

Copy to your sdcard
reboot phone holding vol down to enter recovery
install
choose the zip you downloaded
that should overwrite you old version and fix the problem of not being able to uninstall

well your only other option that i know of is to run a full Retail Update Utility (RUU)
from the bootloader what is your hboot version and firmware version ?
Edit I re-read your first post .. if you are on 502.10
you can run this RUU to get you phone back to stock
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22964708692722204
I assume you have fastboot on your pc and know how to use a command prompt?
you need to relock your bootloader to run the RUU
the commands are
Fastboot oem lock
then the RUU will run and completely wipe your phone

How do i find the hboot version? The firmware version is HTCOne 32GB ATT-1.26.502.10
I donot have any backups of the original firmware RUU, where do i get it from.

Ok Great! Thanks for the RUU file, now just one more question, once i download the RUU file what do i do with it, i'll run the command of fastboot oem lock but the ruu file needs to be on the sd right?
I assume the fastboot oem lock command will relock the device but after that how to install the RUU

I know im being a pain in the butt but i greatly appreciate your help man thanks alot, but im using a mac and exe files dont execute on a mac osx so maybe a url to the zip file might make things a bit easier and if you can link me to it that would be great along with what do i do with the zip file. By the way do you need any more device info to make sure you get the correct RUU for my device cuz i really dont want my device to be bricked :/
Thanks alot CHEERS!

Rom.zip >> https://mega.co.nz/#!yNQlFJKb!aTXDHQRG0mcv3htWOHjnYxpExjB5dT7HdkuNxCtSVyo
here are some directions to flash "rom.zip":
Quote:
if youre working with a booted,operational phone,you can flsh the file in the following manner:
-open a cmd window
-change to adb/fastboot directory
cd c:\foldername
-place the zip file you want to flash into adb/fastboot directory
-enable usb debug,disable fastboot,plug in phone
-check for connectivity
adb devices (should return serial number)
-boot to fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
-check for connectivity again
fastboot devices
-flash the file
fastboot erase cache
fastboto oem rebootRUU (will put you in ruu mode,black screen silver htc letters)
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip (will send and flash the file. dont interupt it while the cmd window shows its writinging,and the green status bar is moving on the phone screen)
*sometimes a file will fail with a pre-update error. this is normal,just enter again:
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip
and this time it will finish
-when you get "finished" and "OK"
fastboot reboot-bootloader (takes you back to fastboot)
-reboot back to the OS
fastbooot reboot
you can use this if you dont have an operational phone as well. you just need to manually put the phone in fastboot(select from hboot menu) then skip the "adb" commands and start with fastboot devices
to answer your other question,yes,you will need to re-unlock and re-install recovery after running the RUU. an ruu is designed as an "unroot" solution, or emergency fix,if other attempts have not made the phone operational.
