Now I rooted my mobile using unrevoked method.
All working well.
Now I want to install custom Rom .
Now my mobile was S-on.
So,how to S-off to install custom Rom?
Or simply update a zip using custom recovery.

You don't need to S-off to install a custom rom. Zip and custom recovery will work.
If you want to S-off use AlphaRev, but make sure you know what you are doing and understand the risk.

What is the main use of S-off?

Search and you'll find out

I Read and found it.
But I can't understand fully.
If S-on means, we can not access the system fully.
Is correct?

Some what correct. If you don't know what it does, don't do it. Non-advanced users doesn't really benefit from s-off and it has the risk of damaging your device. And It's not required for just installing custom ROMs. Reboot to recovery and flash the *.zip from your SDcard, reboot and enjoy.
I would link you to the guide on how to root, but on my phone at the moment. It contains a lot of very good tips to new users on how to install custom stuff after obtaining root.

[Q] can someone tell me if this will work?

and i flash a recovery on it when its rooted and i flash a rom
would it brick it? becus i know the root go's away after reboot

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.

Help needed

Friends I got a new desire hd,I have few please clarify it
1.is there ány other way to unlock the bootloader other than HTC dev official one.
2.first should I flash root the device or first should I install CWM?
3.whether can I install custom Rom while the phone is s-on or it should be s-off?

1. You can manually S-Off it, but note that that is for advanced users.
2. I don't understand this question.
3. You can install custom ROMs with an S-On unlocked bootloader, but you need to flash the boot.img from fastboot each time.

That's ok I will flash boot.img through fastboot,if I did s-off what are benefits that I am going to enjoy

Easy Ace Root Tool. And read the Ace Think Tank thread for any other questions.

What are the benefits of doing S-off

Can flash radios, do not need to flash the boot.img.

[Q] ROMs from a non HTC user

Hello guys. Never used a HTC device (Moto junkie). What must be achieved for root and loading a custom recovery on the One? Also, anything I should know before diving into CM11 nightlies?
Sent from my XT907 using xda premium

For root you must have S-OFF and and an unlocked bootloader. Go find the Rumrunner S-OFF tool which will also help you inject root. Then you can SuperCID your phone to use HTCDev bootloader unlock. Then you can easily flash in a custom recovery, kernel, ROM, etc.

I'm not sure what process the other guy followed but rumrunner will unlock bootloader and soff device. If it runs properly you will also have root. You will probably have to fastboot flash a custom recovery afterwards but that's about it. If you don't have root after using the tool just download supersu zip and flash in recovery.

For roms, I recommend either CM11 or the GPE port (both are 4.4). Both are great. Good luck with S-OFF!

Help with rooting etc

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.

Will I need to downgrade anything since I am on the latest OTA?

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.
