Returning phone to stock, a bit afraid...

I had big problems with latest update, whole thing can be read here.

So I did consider all links in that thread what I need to do, and honestly I am a bit afraid, right now on my fastboot menu stands this:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.55.0000
RADIO-4A.21.3263.04
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-3.62.401.1
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Oct 17 2013,23:06:14.1375

...and all other is stock, didn't update anything although phone is asking for update.

So what I need to do now is next as far I understand from all those posts:
- Install custom recovery to my phone, namely TWRP (because CWM can make problems)
- Then I need from recovery to install SuperSU
- Then I need to disable all possible things on my PC (FW, AV etc)
- Connect my phone to PC in standard mode
- Run soju.exe in admin mode and wait till it finishes it (now my phone should be S-Off)
Now this is tricky part for me (I didn't understand the thing with Tampered flag and lock state very well)
- Now I need to install stock rom back to my phone, and it is good to do it with this image, will I have touch screen after installing this?
- Go to OS and do factory reset
- Now, as far I understand I need to run TWRP not install, but just to run it so the phone stays in original state
- While in TWRP I clean cache and run script for removing Tampered flag and to lock bootloader
When all this finished I just need to clean cache and that's it?
Since I didn't install TWRP I'll have original recovery... Also, there they mention that SuperSU needs to be removed, but I don't have it if I follow steps that I wrote here!?

Is this correct procedure? I don't want to mess a lot around my phone...

The S-Off flag I saw can be locked from within fastboot so that I can do whenever I want

Cheers...

After you unlock your device you most downgrade to hboot 1.44

If you’re on hboot which is above 1.44, then first thing is to downgrade that:
so download this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/1-29-401-12_hboot_1-44-zip/

in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash it:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip <---- just in case the above said “failed flush again”
fastboot reboot-bootloader
--> and confirm hboot is now 1.44

Good luck!

lol me, I have RUU.exe for my phone... I think I can do it in like less then 10min...

Thanks, cheers...

it'll take a bit more than 10mins, between download (depends on your connection), flashing (5~10mins), booting (another 5~10mins) ;)
and if you untampering too, that takes another few seconds

;)

I was looking for zip, exe and nandroid all together, a bit rushing there... then I sit down and read once more through tutorial, and see that only one of those is in fact needed.

Just one question more, regarding hboot, there is 1.44 version from 1.29.401.12, does it matter that my RUU.exe is 1.28.401.7?

Cheers...
