So. My device has android 4.3 now, and I have rooted and unlocked it (I used the guide from HTCOneRoot.com).
I want to install the 4.4 official OTA, but am not able to. It just boots to TWRP if I try when I get the notification.

How do I go about this? Do I need to unroot the phone and reset it to stock? Or is there another way?
I'm kinda new to this world, so it's not an easy task for me. :)

I'm using the international non-carrier version, if that means something(?)
Also, I've attached a pic of my bootloader.

I hope you guys can help me.
Thanks.

You need to hunt the stock recovery based on your fastboot getvar main output and flash using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

As Sahilzz siad you need to flash the stock recovery.....using a stock recovery image of the stock rom you are using.

Its a very similar process to flash TWRP recovery into your phone....just that this time its stock recovery..

Find the stock recovery for your version of One....on google.

Hope that explains it.

if your ROM is stock, you only need stock recovery, not complete ruu, so

here you go: http://d-h.st/WJ8
make sure MD5 Sum: 75ced0d5599d4efca900293966a2ff34 is correct, i sometimes have problems downloading from there, if it's not correct then the download is corrupt.

to flash it, go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery stock_3.62.401.1.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot


now take the OTA, should install fine if ROM is stock.
