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

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.
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

Yes, if S-Off you can flash directly from the device itself, using CWM etc.
Are you sure you have an S-Off HOX? If so Lucky you !!
People have been searching for S-Off on HOX for a long time now, with no result !
Unlocking with htcdev doesn't give you s-off so you will still need to flash the boot.img with fastboot

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!

1. Am I in the right forums?! (Before I start flashing)
2. Would I need to follow the steps in order to get a token ID ? ... Or can I just flash a recovery then root? (Since it's the Developer Edition)
3. The order I need to do things in would be Flash a recovery(TWRP) then Perm Root correct?
Thanks any replies would be greatly appreciated :laugh:
