I'm on ARHD 31.6 which is Android 4.3.
Would like to be KitKat.
Can I get to the T-Mo OTA from here somehow, or am I better off with:

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...157-04_release_336982_signed_2_decrypted-zip/
To update my One (that is S-OFF), I relocked the bootloader and loaded that RUU which put it on 4.3, then let it do the OTAs that brought it first to 4.4.2/Sense 5.5, then the OTA to 4.4.2/Sense 6.0. Then I re-unlocked and rooted it. I run the stock T-Mobile ROM that is rooted and using the ElementalX 14.2 kernel.

you can use that zip or a RUU exe file available there htc1guru but you need tell your getvar all without imei
If your firmware version is lower than this ruu zip then you can flash it with S On if higher you need S off
So tell us getvar all

would I need to lock the bootloader again?

You are on 3.24.531.3 so you can flash that zip even with S On
Your phone S off that's very good so go ahead flash it

I relocked and tried the HTC1guru RUU for 3.24.531.3 (T-MOB010)

failed.

no need to relock when you're s-off.

can you copy/paste command prompt/terminal output of the commands you ran.

PS: did you check MD5 of the download?

I thought not, but I tried the relock when the zip wouldn't flash.

hmmm, there's an issue with the MD5, so I'm dl'g again from htc1guru.

30 mins left to dl. I'll report back if the md5 is correct this time

now the md5 is right but using TWRP 2.6.3.3 to flash fails.

??

is there some reason I'd have to adb or fastboot rather than TWRP to flash this RUU?

flash in fastboot not in twrp
Put zip in fastboot folder in computer
Command fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip xxxxx.zip
fastboot flash zip xxxxx.zip
fastboot reboot oem
xxxx is zip file name
You have to flash it 2 times that's why flash zip command 2 times

I've never gotten an RUU to work while the bootloader is unlocked, on any HTC phone I've had. Relocking the bootloader the RUU works as designed. Also, the OTA updates from T-Mobile will not install with an unlocked bootloader.

apparently the RUU will install, but alas I'm between unlocked and locked.
oh boy

had to relock, then unlock.
flash TWRP and SuperSU

seems to be ok now.
