OK, you could Google it (actually, you would have found it sooner), but a simple explanation is:
There are multiple partitions on the phone for different purposes, like bootloader, system, cache, data... etc.
Without DevUnlock (see below):
S-ON = Security ON which means partitions are protected and cannot be overwritten, it's impossible to brick your phone this way.
You cannot root or ure custom ROMs
S-OFF = Security OFF which means all partitions are unprotected and can be overwritten, it's easy to brick your phone if you do not know what you are doing.
You can do anything
Then there is HTC's DevUnlock, which allows you to overwrite some partitions when the device is S-ON (for development purposes).
You can root or use custom ROMs
With S-OFF, DevUnlock is not needed.
S-OFF for HOX is not available at the moment or you have to be the lucky one who bought the device in a S-OFF state.

Go into bootloader:
Power down the phone, then start the phone up while keep holding the volume down key. You will enter bootloader mode, there you will find S-ON or S-OFF.
this as protect your phone.
S-ON : you cant flash cook rom or install some app that out of playstore or cracked sofware .
S-OFF : do antthing you want :fingers-crossed:

Totally incorrect,
with S-ON you flash cooked rom and install anything you want and even access root privileges. (but needs to unlock the Bootloader first to install custom rom and recovery and rooting)
With S-Off you can downgrade your software or brick your phone, most importantly without voiding your warranty at all.

Please help me.
Thank you.
If you want S-OFF then use XTC-Clip
If you want to unlock your bootloader,go to HTCDev.com
Man, i tried this. But it doesn't work. I give some error.. (190,140). I tried zergRush i give 'perminission denied'.
If You have GSM phone, then forget it (unless You have XTC Clip). Official support guy told me they don't provide S-OFF solution because technitians don't want for us to lose warranty. He also said that all solutions on S-OFF can be found on this forum. So good luck.

To unlock your bootloader you need to visit HTCDEV.com register (its free), and then follow the instructions to unlocking you boot loader by choosing the HTC Wildfire S. it is very siple.
If you need to get the files that it will suggest at some point you can find them on this post.

Not to my knowledge. I have been trying to install custom ROM with S-ON for 6 months now. I'm just here checking to see if there were any new developements an noticed your post.
with an unlocked boot loader it is possible to root de wildfire S, but I have not been able to install custom ROM. The main reason is that it is not possible to access keyareas in de operating system. So far I know without S-off you can only flash a new boot.img and a new system img.
It is best to unlock the bootloader and flash a pre-rooted system.img.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664533
At least this way you can use Link2SD so that the 150Mb internal storage in no longer an issue and you have root access so al other fun rooted phone stuff is available to you. You just cannot flash custom roms unfotunately...
Hello everyone about couple of days I was having issues with my boths cameras on the device I took it to the store I bought it from and they fixed it and also update my device software version after that I noticed that now im S-OFF no S-ON that I was before and my cid also changed from HTC_044 (Asia) to CID-11111111 (supercid I think) and my hboot also changed from 1.36 to 1.39 I also noticed I get faster updates than the cid HTC_044 im know on 3.20.401.1 what does it mean ? that I get every update from every cid or faster updates ? or something else ?
thanks in advance

he can't... once you flash the RUU your phone becomes normal as pretty much every One on this forum... you'll only be able to go back to superCID only if we discover a way to S-OFF
Maybe you can find some more useful info here

but Im S-OFF so I will lose the supercid if I flash RUU ?
and I read that I dont have too unlock bootloader if I S-OFF is that true ?
Yes you need to unlock the bootloader before you can flash !
Edit :
You won't loose s-off by unlocking the bootloader. The possibility is there when you install a ruu.....
so how exactly S-OFF help me here ? XD
thatp pretty weird before i take my HOX to fix it was on Relock cause I opened the bootloader then relock to use waranty and now it says LOCKED no RELOCKED how is this possible ?
and how the technican made my device S-OFF and SUEPRCID 1111111 ?
That's something i don't know exactly, they probably have HTC certified methods of unlocking and relocking to fix certain locked partitions of the phone.

ok so if I want to flash rom I dont need to flash the kernel (boot.img) because I S-OFF Right ?
and if I want to go back to stock I can't flash RUU file because it will change my Super Cid to regular Cid ?

Lets assume that to be safe. Always do it via a firmware flash or a stock nandroid backup. Just to be safe.
And yes you don't need to flash the boot.img manually. But as additional info :
A lot of devs have taken out the script that flashes the boot.img when installing the rom. So with a lot of roms you still have to flash the boot.img with fastboot commands.
and one more question super cid devices (non rooted or bootloader unlocked) get OTA updates faster then other cids ?
and if I go back to stock via RUU it wont change my device to S-ON right ? and there's anyway to bring the Super cid back ?

You said you're not a n00b mate, so I stopped looking...read the S-OFF guide in General on how to attempt to S-OFF your device but you don't need it if you just wanna flash a new ROM
Soff unlocks the whole system to be written or something.
Some mods require this.
You can try temproot before unlocking your device with htcdev.

Can you give an example which mods, when you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery you can push superuser to gain root on your stock rom. Or install any rom you like including mods......they mostly just need root.
S off will allow you to change cid (carrier I'd) of phone, you can make it super cid which will allow you to flash a y firmware you like for any m8 varient.
You will also be able to flash the adsp hk update for hk sound to work fully on models that the normal mod won't work
It will also allow you to switch between GPE and sense so long as you have a ruu image for each
It will also allow you to totally brick your phone if you don't understand what your doing
Better stick to HTC dev unlock as Rom and kernals can be flashed no problem , if it's a sense device GPE, cyan, asop and sense roms should work fine
Only issue you might get is Verizon or other USA specific

its a extra security measure HTC phones have. the biggest issue with s-on is flashing kernels. with s-on you have to manually flash them using fastboot commands. With s-off you can do other things like flash firmware from other regions or run RRU's from other countrys as well, it would help with sim unlock and changing your model id.
