Root and s-off are two different things, s-off is what allows you to flash a new recovery, ROM, etc.
As for bricking, the one-click will probably brick your device which is why it's posted everywhere to not use it.
It will never brick it doing this. Brick is from flashing bootloaders etc which you won't be doing. If things go bad when flashing a rom just download a stock rom and flash that or start over etc. Read up on rom manager and clockwork mod recovery. I'm no pro but most roms have root baked in so when you flash the rom it will have root. Worst case when you flash rom you won't have root anymore but will be very easy to get

There is no recommended 'one click' root method for the DZ/G2. If you want to flash a custom ROM your best bet is to follow the wiki here.

Ok well I tried rooting my g2 using this guys video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU9zn_BEth4 ...I did everything exactly...and I have S-off ....what happens is that root doesn't stck so everytime I reboot I don't have root access...I tried doing what some said....temp root > su > sync > reboot .....didn't work....also tried... temp root then perm root using VISIONary r12 and r13 didn't work either...
The superuser app is always there....what can I do to solve this? Will starting all over again can gave me issues?....

Any non offical rom usually has a perm root in it. So yes flashing a custom rom (I'm on cm 6.1) can make the root stick
Plus all of the custom roms are better then stock lol

That's all u gotta do bro.
Correct me if im wrong but you need s off to flash clockwork recovery...so no you cant just get temp root and flash a rom.

he has s-off, but seems to be losing root when rebooting so since he has s-off his steps are correct:
temp-root, clockwork, ROM
My bad.

Hey I was wondering if it would be possible to install clockworkmod recovery through rom manager on a temporary root I used androot on my friends slide and I was thinking if I used rom manager to install clockworkmod then tried to install a rooted rom strieght from rom manager that would give him full root

No it will not work. What happens is rom manager sets it to flash via the stock recovery on reboot, but it can't do that without the engineering bootloader, since the stock one doesn't allow self signed update packages such as clockwork to flash, while the engineering one does. You need to have full root to flash a recovery. And also, in case you didn't already know, the mt3gs is s-on so your recovery resets on reboot anyway, requiring you to flash a recovery every time you go to it. There's your answer haha

Yeah they really do. Good news though, we're about to get s-off. Alpharev is close.
What can I do besides gain root with this status? Down to the technical details if you will. Thanks!
I think I found the answer. Please verify. Apparently I can root and install custom ROMs that use the stock kernel. Right?
You can flash any ROM, kernel, or recovery. What you cannot flash are the radios, Hboots, or splash screens.
Hmmm. Ok.

And I can't find a rooting tutorial for the evo design. Is it safe to unlock the bootloader and then flash the su package once I get the custom recovery on?

This isn't the design forum, there isn't a forum for the design on xda, its a different device from the evo4g so we can't answer your questions other than a guess. I would say once you have recovery there should be no issue flashing SuperUser and the SU binaries for SuperUser

I'm gonna root and install a custom ROM on my friend's phone and I'm just wondering if I need to update the bootloader before installing any ROMs?
So should I root, then flash the bootloader update via Odin before installing a ROM?
Or can anyone give me a good process for doing that, it would really help

What version bootloader do you have now and version do you think you need?
I simply did a search on "bootloader" and found this relevant thread for you. Take a look a post #2.
Hope it helps.

I meant like my friend's phones are purely stock.. And I'm on a custom ROM. About a month ago we all got bootloader updates in order to use new ROMs so I'm wondering if that's what I need to do for my friends too, before flashing them a rom

I'm sure that it depends on what version bootloader is currently installed, and what version your ROM of choice requires. The fact that their phone is now "Stock" doesn't tell you anything. I am running a nightly version (7/7/13) of Rootbox (Doesn't get any newer than that) on a one year old S3, and have never updated my "Stock" bootloader because it was not necessary for what I need - and there isn't one newer.
Every time you flash, you are taking the chance of something screwing up. The only thing worse than bricking your phone would be bricking someone else's. IMO, you need to do some more research to answer your own question. The devil is in the details.
Good Luck.

If he is on the most current stock update provided by the carrier then the bootloader should already be updated.

So I am about to sunshine the phone and get S-OFF, I've never owned an HTC before this and am used to samsung methods, IE odin. What do I need to do once I get s-off? I read here and there about downgrading firmware so I can actually install roms and such, but what do I do if I am on sense 6 with 4.4.2?
Use sunshine to s-off unlock then you can flash a custom recovery from the hboot (bootloader). Then flash a custom Rom or flash super su zip if you want stock Rom through custom recovery.

nope sunshine was updated to work with the latest OTA.
An incredibly easy way to do it is to just use the WinDroid tool somebody posted in the development section. It does everything with one click.

It will not unlock the Verizon HTC one bootloader. Verizon ordered HTC to not allow our cid be unlocked via htcdev. We have to use the s-off exploits to unlock also.
This means WinDroid will not do everything.
Although it will aid in installing custom recovery and flashing Rom.
