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.

[Q] apps on startup

Is there a way to prevent some apps to load when I turn on my phone (like "Whatsapp", that I don´t use) ?
Is there something like "/etc/init.d" ? Need to be root ?
Thanks

Yes, try Gemini app manager from the market. You can use that to disable auto start off different apps
And yes you do need root for that

hummm, I was trying to avoid root. If I get root access, I will delete all that trash...

Root access is easily available, non permanent, you can revert it, AND it does not affect warranty,.as long as you flash back original ROM before you send it.
Use zergrush exploit.
Btw, unlocking bootloader DOES void warranty

[Q] Which ROM have an option to HTC update..?

Hi everyone, can any one answer my question ...!
Which ROM it have an option to HTC update..?
and
what I will get & what I will loose after update ..?
Thanks..

Question 1: the only Rom I can think of is the stock Rom.
Question 2: well you loose root and the ability to root until a new exploit is found. But I think you can still root if you are S-OFF.

I would suggest not to go for those ROMs
Hi,
I don't know where there are any ROMs that let you do that. I would advise that even if you get such a ROM, not to go for the OTA updates, as there are a lot of problems associated with it, including losing root on your device.

No custom rom will be able to update from HTC. While it will check and attempt to download and install it ends up soft bricking your device. If you want HTC updates then stay stock.

[Q] Unlock and root after upgrading to Lollipop

I am currently using Lollipop V20A (polish) on my D855 32GB variant. I never unlocked or rooted my phone.
I saw that overheating and oversharpening fix were made by our beloved XDA developers and I would like to root my phone so I can install that but I'm not sure if I can.
Can I still unlock and root if I downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat via KDZ flash, and if I can, could anybody give me easiest and best links to do the unlock and root.
Thanks in advance

Anybody?

Yes you can. Just downgrade to Kitkat and then root.
In general section you have tutorial on how to get back to stock.

How to root almost any device with unlocked bootloader.

So you need to download KingRoot.apk.
Install Kingroot, it would take some time and then it'd say Root Access Unavailable. Then all you've to do is click on gain root button and wait for some time until you're rooted.
Don't worry if ur device reboots.
And Don't forget to thank me ?
