[Q] How to S-On HTC One Max International for OTA

Hi,

I have HTC One International Version (O2 Germany) I have S-Off it and rooted it, Now I want to revert it and want OTA to work. I am unable to get any OTA notification as it always says there is no update for your phone even though its on 4.3. Due to S-Off it always says that you are having a test device. Resetting it didn't help. I don't have RUU for CID O2___102. Now should I flash a boot file on it to gain S-On, if yes then which one. The Hboot is 2.46.00. Will after getting S-On the OTA will be available to get installed?

PS: The bootloader is Relocked. I guess the right Stock Recovery is installed. Although I think the kernel is messed up as it is showing 3.4.10 on v4.3 (image attached)

This is Bootloader info:
-OS-1.23.1540.1
radio -4T.21.3218.04
CID O2___102
-T6UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
-hboot-2.46.0000

Thanks

Edit:

Although I have been searching for it for many days, the only option I think I am coming across is getting boot.img from virtuous rom and update my boot which will also update the hboot. Although I am not sure if this is possible solution. Just want an opinion before updating the hboot as it wont be downgraded later.

Edit 2: Installing boot for 1.54 (stock and also from Stock Nandroid) or from virtuous rom with S-Off *Unlocked* is not making any difference or update to the boot. Its still the same.

S On is not a problem for me the now reverting to stoack while having OTA is a main pain. I am not getting OTA while having soff and all the info provided above.

I started getting OTA 4.4.2 when I made Super CID and installed RUU_T6_UL_JB43_SENSE55_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.23.1540.1_Radio_4T.21.3218.04_10.15.1718.01_release_337609_signed_2.exe

The problem was when the OTA gets downloaded and then it varify the system update conditions before installing, it give back error of some manipulated system etc.

I got OTA. Restoring the cwm backup as I already have this file with me through cwm recovery then installed stcok recovery, relocked and it worked while having Super CID. the only thing is even after update and hboot update it remained S Off. The S On I want to have because IF I need to return it for warranty issues, how I will be able to get S On again.

PS: I had to change CID to make it Super CID to get the cwm backup installed and OTA working. Which I reverted back after installation.
