[Q] should I wait for S-OFF? - HTC One X

Should I wait for S-OFF, or just unlock and add custom recov. + custom ROM?
Not very good with this stuff, so any cons by unlocking allready?
Or pros for waiting for S-OFF?

Pros - HTC don't know what you're doing
Cons - might be waiting a while for S-OFF

Persona I see no difference in having SOFF or an unlocked bootloader...
For the end user that is... Im able to install custom roms (arhd), backup/restore via recovery & gain superuser access when using the phone...
What exactly else does SOFF give? Apart from void the warranty?
Thanks

S-OFF gives you ability to change radio etc, plus also you can return it to a locked state (as opposed to re-locked) and HTC have no record of you doing it. It's primarily a warranty concern.

Installing new radio

Is it actually possible to install a new radio on s-on rooted hox?
I have seen many conflicting opinions about this on this forum but does anybody have conclusive proof that this can actually be done sucessfully?
I think the only way you can do it is with the RUU/OTA, although I could be wrong
Just flashed the latest radio. It is indeed possible.

Get your suitable radio from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689679&highlight=radio
..and flash as you would a mod/rom.
And check/update RIL (if necessary) with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibbor.getril&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zaWJib3IuZ2V0cmlsIl0.
Make sure you do a backup first, and flash at your own risk. I've had no problems so far but it's only been on a few hours.

Ohh I thought with HTC unlock you couldn't flash radios that way but after some searching I found that its flashed in custom roms also.
Thankyou for the reply though

I'm aware of this but why does it not register the new radio in hboot only in settings/about? These values can also be changed by editing the build prop I believe?

Because you cant make custom changes on the hboot with a s-on device, thats why

How to S-On my Verizon HTC One on KK 4.4.2

Hey guys hopefully someone can help me with this problem I'm having, my fiance had her HTC One VZW rooted with S-Off through rumrunner and due to an issue she was having with the camera we attempted to return the device to S-On status and remove root and return to stock everything went through fine but when we got the device back we realized that the bootloader says relocked but still says S-Off. The problem where having is that she wants to root it again and flash the Sense 6 Roms but when using Firewater it stops after you type in Yes because it sees that the device is S-Off. What is the correct way for me to get the device to S-On so that I can use Firewater to achieve the full unlock of the bootloader so I can install a custom recovery and install Roms? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Here's some screenahots of where I'm at now.
This shows the status of the bootloader....

Thank you so much for your help i have been asking around all over for help with this your support is greatly appreciated.
You might not be currently rooted, but Scotty should be able to help you out on that thread. Maybe temp root from Weaksauce may be needed, not sure.
Post back if you reach a dead end.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app
It is s-off ,you won't need temp root. Just unlock the bootloader, load a recovery and flash supersu through recovery, profit.
Thanks guys I followed the thread that @xenakis sent me and I was able to Fastboot and get it to changed from locked to unlocked and seeing that it was already S-Off I was able to flash a custom recovery and SuperSU and everything is good once again ?

How were you able to flash over SU? When I try to go through the SU app it says that I cant because Im on 4.4.2

HI,
There is no solution? If I want to be just S-OFF?
You can unlock via HTC dev and try method 1. Others have had success using Sunshine s-off. It's $25 but they don't charge unless s-off works.

For Sunshine, I need to be Rooted ?!
I don't think so. I believe sunshine works without having to unlock via HTC dev.
