OK I had s-off with root using rumrunners program until I decided to take the ota to .15 so I updated rumrunner and ran it several times it only pours once and says something about skunky rum then ends. I have s-off but no root what can I do?

RomRunner is to S-Off your device. You're already S-Off'd so you don't need it anymore. Don't run it.
Just flash SuperSU or SuperUser.

How? I can't seem to make it happen without a custom recovery or superuser permission

Woo hoo I was able to get root back using squabbis (spelling?) HTC one toolkit , first I flashed the superuser apk with his utility with success but still didn't have su permissions so I tried to flash a custom recovery without luck I was able to push my previous recovery file with the toolkit with success, now we can eat!

I've permrooted with visioanary and installed rom manager. Then I've flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager but each time I go into recovery I just get the regular recover icon, not the clockwork recovery icon or anything. I've tried this with all 3 versions of clockwork recovery on rom manager. Still only get the un modifier recovery screen. Am I doing something wrong???

i didnt use it personally i took the long route
Just flash Clockwork again from ROM Manager. It seems to usually take more than one flash before it "sticks".
I've flashed it about 20 times now into recovery. None have worked

Sounds like you only have root and not S-OFF then. S-OFF is needed to flash custom recovery.

I had read that it's not behaving consistently/predictably which leads to issues. Even though I used Visionary when I was temp rooting (the first month I had the phone) when I went to permanent root I used the gfree method.
My buddies EVO has never been rooted and he got the GB OTA. He wants to go to CM7. His bootloader says S-off so I don't know why I can't install superuser.
Oh, I searched dont cop a 'ttude
His phone is rooted, but the ROM doesn't have superuser privileges. Download a rooted 2.3 version and install it for superuser privileges. Flash AmonRa as a PC36IMG if need be

Wait whoa just read that. He has never rooted his phone, but it says S-Off? And if it is S-Off, just flash AmonRa and go to the CM7 thread and download it and flash it.

How could that be how could he have s-off and never have been rooted?
Is that possible?

Got to admit he is right how is that possible. Sounds like it was rooted and had unrevoked forever then he updated. Why he updated is another story but like you were told just run Amon PC36IMG file and flash away

And yes, you could. But I don't know why you wouldn't just do it through recovery.
Because I lost root with the ota so don't have recovery
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Just reflash your recovery and su.
If you have S-on then your stuck without root.

If you're s-on then it's not possible. S-on/s-off refers to the bootloader itself.
In technical terms, S-off will let you flash any PB31IMG.zip you want as long as it's built properly. S-ON will only allow you to flash files by HTC. Unless we can achieve S-ON on the newer radio or can get HTC's signing method for their zip files, I don't see it possible if you're S-ON. Sorry.
Ok guys so after days of wondering I just found out that Gfree when used by rooting the G2 unlocks the phone to any GSM wireless carier so right now I'm rooted and do u guys think its a good idea I mean simunlock can always come in handy.

I have a problem on the unrotting evrrything went fine but after the flash of the PC10IMG.zip file i still have s-off what is the problem..
*ps when i try to enter in cmd
adb shell it shows me the $
and su still $
when i try to open the pc10img.zip file on the pc it says corrupt or invalid any help plz
you have to re-run gfree to get s-on.
The $ shows you don't have root access, which is to be expected having flashed a stock rom.
su should've returned permission denied, again stock rom.
Invalid zip is windows explorer not being able to handle signed zips. Use 7zip

why take the OTA when we have the rom form of it available here? Just head over to santod040 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319
I have trouble with adb fastboot, I did download the Rom and can probably flash with flashify it's the firmware and radios that require fastboot that gives me fits so I thought ota would be easier

ah, okay. if you take the OTA it will wipe /system partition so freezing with TI wont help. if you are s-off you can ruu to the previous build HTC release with sense 5.5,
lock the bootloader and take the OTA but dont return to s-on. From there you will need to unlock the bootloader again, flash the insecure boot.img and then you'll be able to flash a recovery back onto the phone.. once you have the custom recovery, root can be restored with flashing the SU zip in recovery.
Sounds harder than using santods version, does anyone know if I need the firmware and radio updates or can I just flash the rom
