quick instructions...
0. be dev unlocked (obviously) - thanks htc
1. twrp back up your system/data/boot (obviously) - thanks captain
2. in twrp, flash Bad Boys stock rooted rom here - thanks bad boyz
3. in the same twrp session, flash your stock 1.32.651.30 boot partition, or use this one here (unzip, and put the folder in your twrp backups folder)
4. reboot system and download sunshine s-off here - thanks jcase and beanups
5. after sunshine runs completely and system reboots, wait a minute, it will reboot again to finish, then POWER ITSELF OFF
6. reboot back to bootloader after the phone POWERS ITSELF OFF and see that you are s-off. now you can reboot recovery and wipe the stock rooted odex you are on and restore your current rom that you backed up in step 1
that is all.
edit: this guide assumes you have been unlocked, rooted, possibly running a custom rom already, and maybe don't have a stock backup. if you are bone stock: dev unlock, flash twrp, flash supersu, then sunshine s-off.
edit2: also, if you are on a custom rom that has the an untouched boot.img, you may be set to run sunshine already.
Thanks for this. Got a quick question. I'll be upgrading to the m9 soon, so I plan on getting s-off first thing.
Since the phone will be stock out of the box, could I just unlock bootloader, flash twrp, flash supersu to get root, and then do sunshine?
If not, then I'll follow your instructions. Just curious if it will work this way.

yes, this is actually preferred as sunshine likes to be as close to stock as possible. This is how I did it, but I restored my stock backup, flashed supersu, then ran sunshine
I can take it out of the box now, wooohoo

OMJ has added insecure boot to rom for control when using adb for theming, etc. Hence the need to flash stock boot to run sunshine.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I still have root after I installed the OTA. I will give a few steps what I did in a few minutes.
These are the steps I used. Took a while (seemed like forever) but at least I am updated and with root. I originally came from an ICS rom then I had to flash a stock rom then RUU.
1. Flashed stock recovery (Link below)
2. Locked bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
3. Flashed RUU 1.02.605.6 (link below)
4. Installed OTA (check for new software updates when booted)
5. Unlocked bootloader (http://www.htcdev.com/)
6. Flashed RA recovery (found in forum)
7. Installed su and superuser under Developer menu under RA recovery
8. BAM!!!!!!!
The RUU I used was found at http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=37
Thanks scrosler for having that available!
The stock recovery can be downloaded at http://db.tt/tw5m33ZG. Unzip and flash in Fastboot using command "fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img"
Can you post a link to the RUU and stock recovery you used ? Thanks.

If it lets you update then go for it. Just make sure your bootloader is unlocked after the update then install su and superuser and you got root back basically.
So if I just uninstall su I can update? I have amon ra as my recovery. What about that??

You would need the stock recovery. RA would cause it to fail.

It won't work because (I'm assuming) that his mainver was updated. AFAIK the RUU won't run a "newer" mainver.
I've been trying to root my EVO 4G LTE using various guides from this board, and I'm not having a lot of luck. I have HBOOT 2.09 and it's S-ON. It seems like the easiest way to root the device is to go S-OFF, but then it appears that the device needs to be rooted to get S-OFF. So I'm a little confused at this point. I've unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, but when I try to install the SuperSU root utility it gives me an error about mounting partitions and fails. My bootloader screen also displays "TAMPERED" which seems to be a problem but I'm not having a lot of luck finding a way to resolve it.
So... can anyone tell me what my next step is?
Thanks in advance.
Are you using Facepalm, Moonshine, or DirtyRacun? You haven't really provided enough details to help, at this point. What's your software version? I assume you're running the stock ROM?
I was running the stock ROM, I think it was 3.16. I tried using Facepalm but again it seems like it needs root to work which I haven't been able to achieve just yet. I tried installing the ROM from this thread through TWRP but it just hangs on the HTC screen so I'm not sure what's on there now. I can still get into the bootloader and recovery though.
You can't use Facepalm on 3.16 software. Use Moonshine.
Try flashing this stock rooted to get back to a working state: http://d-h.st/users/Captain_Throwback/?fld_id=10308#files
You may need to fastboot flash the boot.img to make sure it fully boots.
OK, I downloaded that ROM and extracted the boot.img. I booted the phone into the bootloader and ran "fastboot flash boot boot.img". It seems to have completed correctly, no errors at least, but now the phone just sits at the HTC screen with the red text at the bottom. Clearly I'm doing something wrong...
Did you flash the ROM too? Or did it reboot on you when you tried?
I just did the boot.img. Should I also do "fastboot flash zip 3.16.651.3_stock_rooted_odex_CPTB.zip"?

You have to flash the ROM in recovery.
Ok, so I went into recovery which is still TWRP, adb pushed that ROM to the phone then tried to install it. It gives a bunch of error messages about being unable to mount various items, says it's unable to find path for partition [name of the zip] and fails.
Thanks for your help and patience so far...
You do not extract the file, leave it as a zip and do not open it. Move it to your SD card while in fastboot (mount sd) and from there use twrp and select the correct zip to flash. But above all... DO NOT EXTRACT THE FILR

I don't understand what you're doing here. Boot to recovery, mount storage, copy the ROM zip over, and then flash it.
Ok, so I mounted storage from recovery, or least I tried to, my PC said it needed to be formatted. So I did so, copied the file over and flashed it which completed successfully this time. My phone now boots properly, I'll give Moonshine a try now. Hopefully I won't need to bug you again, thanks for all the help.

I'm having a little trouble with Moonshine. It reboots the phone a couple of times, gets to step 3 then just keeps printing periods in the program window. I've been reading through the Moonshine thread and it seems other people have had the same problem, but I haven't seen a solid fix yet. Anyone know what I need to do or should I stick with the Moonshine thread?
I am looking to use moonshine to achieve s-off. I currently have S-ON and SuperCID. I need to update firmware first, so I need to switch back to stock. I am planning on using this method to do so.
Do I need to un-SuperCID, if so, how?
If I leave SupeCID, and run RUU what happens? No OTAs, or something worse?
Excuse my noob questions.
no noob questions here man thats why we help and as far as updating firmware are you planing on using a custom rom and kernel or just wanting s-off for a custom kernel on 2.07 firmware?
supercid does not need to be changed you only have extra steps if you are s-off which then you would need to relock the bootloader first

Well my plan was to go back to stock to ota to the 2.07 then load custom rom, vipers new one actually, after doing moonshine to achieve s-off
I thought leaving supercid was going to prevent me from successful ota. I can always flash the zip instead of ota though, right?

I am happy to announce I am now S-OFF after facepalm! I actually found your thread about customer recovery. Will be doing that shortly.
One thing that is left to figure out is the tampered flag. I am not able to find any information on how to actually reset it. I found something on a different website about issuing a -t command. But that was after the s-off was achieved using revone. After further research, apparently all I need to do is flash another hboot to get rid of that flag?
P.S
This thread looks like a winner http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156713 am I on a correct path here?

You can ignore that flag. If and when you return the phone to complete stock that will taken care of.

New problem. Flashed 2.6 twrp, erased system, cache and internal storage. Went to sideload mode, keeps saying starting. Issue a command in and to load a Rom, nothing happens, cmd return a list of all the commands. Twrp still states starting sideload. Restart the phone to recovery, still the same problem. Flash older version of twrp?
Also twrp keeps telling me I am not rooted.
Thoughts?
Why did you wipe internal storage? Easiest way is to load the ROM onto internal and flash.
Rebooting twrp will install su binaries.
Try older twrp or cwm

Well Viper Sense 5 rom needed a full wipe, so, I wiped everything. Are you saying I do not have to wipe internal storage, just clear everything else, then flash the rom?

I have been flashing roms for the past 8 hours. Looking for the perfect sense 5. Every rom has issues with data on my phone. Tried 5 . Google play store will not download anything, Or it starts downloading at dial up speeds. 2 roms I actually had to reflash twice because they kept hanging u at at the initial start.
5 roms doing the same thing? I was starting to think something happened to the phone, so I reflashed the original UKB DNA 1.3 rom that I have been running all this time, and it does the same thing.
Any ideas?

So my phone went completely nuts last night. I decided to flash another back up that was working perfectly before going with your recommended rom. Kept failing in TWRP. So after 3 attempts I just decided to reload another rom. Rom installed, phone rebooted, went through initial setup. Once I finished with the initial setup my phone was running sense5 with all of the information from the backup. Needless to say I nuke everything, flash original TWRP (2.4.0.0 beta) that worked for me prior to 2.6. Do a clean install of Viper Sense5 rom and voila! Running perfect right now, no complaints. Fingers crossed. I guess I am done flashing roms for right now and sticking to Vipers. At least until KitKat comes.
good deal

Wonder if they plugged any existing exploits (I guess firewater s-off would be the only one that matters)? AT&T likes to do that (plug previous exploits) with their updates. So if you haven't s-off'ed yet, and want to in the future, I would tread carefully before installing this OTA.

yea. uploading the ota now
Just upgraded....noticed that they have added Fitbit as a default application as well.
So let me make sure I have the process to install the OTA correct (I am S-OFF):
1. Make backups
2. Download the OTA, place in root dir of Internal Storage
3. Flash stock recovery
4. Relock Bootloader with All-In-One Toolkit
5. Enter stock recovery
6. Select "apply from phone storage" (may be different tho, that's what it was on the M7)
7. Follow onscreen instructions during installation, if any.
8. Reboot
9. Profit
Please, kindly correct anything I may have missed.
They probably added Extreme Powersaving too?

I'm not 100% sure.. but ,I always re-lock the bootloader just in case
How can I install this with S-on? Couldn't get S-off because firewater is broken for me.
My phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked. How can I lock the bootloader without S-off?

you could try Sunshine to get S-OFF it cost $25 dollars but it can S-OFF your device.
But I think that you do not need to be s-off to run the RUU, if you want to easily relock the bootloader use tthe HTC One 2014 (M8) All-In-One Toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065 its the easiest way
Can I use this to go from Google Play Edition back to stock Sense assuming I change my CID back to AT&T?
I am S-OFF and Bootloader Unlocked and obviously ATT branded.
Yes

So for the people who been running this ruu for a few weeks have you found any bugs?

no bugs so far but battery life isn't that great as with the last FW although there is no battery drain like with the OTA but I'm not impressed with the battery performance

I have my phone set up like I want it. Stable, everything works. Running 4.4.2 rooted, unlocked, twrp recovery, etc. All the apps I want. So on and so forth.
Will nandroid backup made now work after I run this ruu? Basically update the os and then recover everything the way I have it set up now?
Sorry for asking what seems, even to me, a basic beginners question.

In short...No. First off, you can't install the 4.4.3 update if you have a TWRP recovery installed. You have to have the stock recovery in order to do the update. But...for the sake of argument, you did the update and...then re-rooted and restored your nandroid. You would in effect overwrite the update and put yourself back to where you started (if that makes any sense).
My advice would be to install a custom ROM that containes the 4.4.3 update already...or put a stock recovery back on your phone and do the update. There is a nice all-in-one update you can run right off the sdcard using Hboot. I did it and it was flawless.
Either way, you'll most likely be setting up your phone again but that really shouldn't be too bad. Take some screenshots so you will remember just how you had things.
Hope this helps and good luck.

I have to ask, if you went through all that trouble, why would you ever want to run ATT software? You could have easily converted to Dev Edition and never looked back.

I can't answer for the OP, but coming from the factory unlocked version and having tried various firmwares and ROMs (including Dev), the ATT RUU is the only one that gives me true LTE speeds.
Scott, could you point me towards that update using Hboot?
