It seems like mine, and there stands that it is for HTC__032

But how to use this not to screw something more?

I think that this zip just needs to be flashed in recovery, you will chose all your options in aroma later. Be sure to install everything stock...recovery, radio, everything.

Just check this thread:

How to flash it through recovery when I cannot get into recovery?

Cheers...

Edit: ...I did relock device, then unlock it again, and now CWM is working for me... So now pushing ruu on internal sdcard, hope this will work :)

Recovery can be flashed via fastboot(fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img) but I guess you figured it out.

...phone working on 4.3, now I must see how to get S-Off, to remove TAMPERED and to LOCK it again.

Looking at this tutorial:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2488772
all I need to do is to get those things turned on/off in phone, and run soju.exe as Admin, is this right? Will I have something to do when program runs? I'm a bit skeptical :) ...and what about AntiVirus, do I need to turn it off as stated?

Cheers...

Yes, turn it off.

When I S-offed, there wasn't this universal ZIP but it should be the same. Just leave it running and wait, it takes a couple of minutes, don't touch anything, really. Ne diraj ništa, samo čekaj, da napravi svoje:D.

Well, I'm doubting in one more thing, I do not have SuperSU on OS, nor I have custom recovery now, all is stock, except that phone has unlocked bootloader, will this be problem? Since I didn't find answer anywhere...

Cheers...

Edit:

1. Your HTC One must be rooted.
If it's not rooted, the bootloader must first be unlocked. Follow the instructions in the "Unlocking bootloader" section in this guide: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2265618. Then, flash a custom recovery and root your device: http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...-developer-tv/. At this point, you can leave your device unlocked or relock it. It's advised to leave it unlocked.

So I must root it, huh, this means custom recovery and SuperSU to OS... lolz...

Ups, ok, I guess I mislead you there. No problem. Go to this link and download TWRP recovery.

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul

Reboot to bootloader -> fastboot.

In your mini-sdk folder, where you have ADB installed, type:

fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img

Then go to recovery. In recovery you go to reboot option and when you exit it will ask you if you want to root your phone, something like that. You confirm it and it will boot to Android. There go to SuperSU and again it will ask you to download SuperSU app. You confirm it(choose TWRP option, you will see).

It will reboot to recovery, do "something" and then you are rooted.

OK, just one question more.
When I root phone again, I'll have in fact stock software except recovery, so I presume that I'll need to install that little guru reset ruu again after I get TAMPERED removed?

So, I need S-Off first.
then I need to get TAMPERED removed
then how to return S-On?
then again reinstall guru ruu
and here is biggest problem, how to lock it back to stand *** LOCKED *** since I won't have custom recovery and I'll probably get *** RELOCKED *** flag?

Cheers...

No, no, no. I mislead you, you don't have to have stock recovery, just that before this universal Rumrunner, you ROM version had to be the same as you firmware and that's it.

I guess I forgot about it. You DO need unlocked bootloader(you have this) and you DO need custom recovery to have SuperSU(root).

So, don't do anything else now. Flash custom recovery, root your phone and then continue to 2. in the guide(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2488772).

About tampered flag. Once you are S-off, you will remove this flag, and you will also be able to "LOCK" your bootloader. That's the magic of S-off, you can do this kind of things, but you have to be very careful, best is to copy paste exactly what guides say.

I posted this before:

Yes, you can S-on when you are S-off, but let's go slowly, first do these steps.
When you are S-offed you can flash RUU's and you don't need Guru's files. After you flash your RUU, then you will go back S-on(tampered is gone from before and your bootloader is "Locked" form before) and from there it's pure stock.

OK, but how will I get back stock recovery if I lock phone, since it won't run OTA if recovery is not stock?

Answered in previous post - by flashing RUU while you are S-off. With flashing RUU you will downgrade you Android to 4.1.2 and form there you will collect all OTA's until you get to the latest OTA.

I also suggest that you DON'T S-on if you don't intend to send your phone for service. Leave it S-off.

You will be able to flash this after you are S-off:

And you can also just flash you Guru file again to be stock and go from there if you want. But I haven't tried it yet. I always just flash stock RUU and update to the latest Andorid by OTA if I want my phone pure stock.

When you flash RUU, it wipes everything on your phone and then installs pure stock version of HTC Android. For me, it's the cleanest start, to have pure stock phone.

Well, I am willing to return it complete to stock with S-On...

What about this one?
