Does cm13 works with s-on ?
Yes all custom roms work on s-on devices you just need to be on the latest available fitmware (lollipop or even MM)

I don't think all custom roms can work.
Some Roms requires a patched boot image,
This will be flashed automatically with CM13, Resurrection Remix or other Roms, and this part of flashing needs S-off.
Some developers have written at the header of threads, if S-off is need or not.
So you must looking for a ROM that can be flashed on a m8 with S-ON locked bootloader

Nope, not correct(looking from my experience).
I have One M8 for about 2 years, S-ON and UNlocked bootloader. I flashed every rom that came out, you don't have to do S-OFF for flashing 'patched' boot.img's.
S-off stands most for the heavy mods(messing with adsp etc etc), and converting device to oem/unlocked/developer edition etc.
:good:
Inreed so. All roms work. You can flash boot.img files with s-on and they are also always flashed with with rom. The boot partition isn't locked with s-on.

I have HTC desire hd..It is currently rooted and have unlocked bootloader..and i am S-ON on my deive. I have currently flashed a custom rom (jellytime).
My question is that , can i flash EACH and EVERY rom being S-ON on my device or do some custom roms require S-OFF only?

you must read description on any custom rom..but usually what i know all custom rom now can installing on s-on (just unlock) or s-off phone..
but for s-on (just unlocked) phone you must always do flashing boot.img (extracted from rom.zip it self) via fastboot too after every each time you finish installing new custom rom it self..
thnx man

you're welcome..
looking to move over to either asop or gpe from sense im s-on with latest firmware can i just flash as normal either of these rom types or will i need to adjust to a different firmware ?
You can flash the roms, but to actually covert to GPE, you'll need to be s-off.
You also need the latest firmware for most up to date roms. ?
The M8 will need to be updated to the new 5.0.1 firmware to use latest Sense ROMS,
for AOSP you can use any firmware 3.x and up.
On the GPE Firmware you will need S-OFF as the change in partitions are locked in
S-ON.

Huh... There is a GPE rom on the sprint forum. When I was s-on I flash the rom then flash the kernel in fastboot. I was on latest firmware but not sure if that had something to do
Yeah, there might be a ROM but the full conversion to GPe requires S-OFF
You can use the GPE Rom Easily, without S-OFF it's like any other AOSP ROM.
But if you want to fully convert it to a GPE Edition, you'll need S-OFF.
The problem with the GPE ROMs/Conversion is that
the HTC File Manager cannot load SD Card Tab (You can't modify anything in the SDCard without rooting it after wards).
And the HTC Camera no longer works on GPE , it used to work before without root.
I guess HTC Ruined the Non-Sense variants again.
I have googled and found out that with S-ON i cannot root or flash anything. Is there any way (other than $25 pay) to get S-OFF?

You can root your device and flash custom roms, im S-On and i flash custom roms on my M8 all the time
this post will help you out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799796
Sunshine is the only current working s-off method. But if your intent is to flash custom ROMs, you don't need s-off. For the purpose of running custom ROMs, you only need s-off if you want to "manually" update your firmware to run a particular ROM. But for most variants, you can also update your firmware by official OTA.
I got a M8 currently installed is stock 5.0.1 - 4.16.401.13 / Bootloader unlocked with HTC Dev / S-ON / HBOOT-3.19.0.0000 (using custom Kernel and Xposed)
I would like to update to WWE_6.12.1540.4 using this downloaded RUU here http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
to have newest firmware, use the ROM or use a custom ROM based on the Android M builds with ahving the new firmware.
Can I flash this Unlocked/Developer ROM WWE_6.12.1540.4 (and flash TWRP again) or would I have to wait for the official RUU, relock my BL and flash and then unlock the BL again?
Thanks to HTC for making things so complicated btw.
All this HBOOT CID S-ON S-OFF Firmware BL - Chaos... meh.

No need for ruu, you can restore stock nand and recovery for your cid/mid and get 6.0 MM OTA update from H E R E
And what about firmware (Radio)? I thought flashing or upgrading the firmware is only possible with locked bootloader or unlocked + S-OFF.

Radio is in firmware.zip(which is part of all bigger ota's) along with other stuff(adsp,wcnss,recovery etc).. I've never relocked my bootloader(I have S-on). For ota's, you need non-rooted stock rom or nandroid and stock recovery. For RUU on the other side, if you have S-on, you'll need to relock your bootloader.
Done all the steps and downloading the OTA via device as I am typing.
Thank you very much for your input, Sir.
I'm wanting to go custom but do I really need s_off and supercid or can I just unlock boot loader and be happy lol. I'm using a UK m8

I think you are confusing custom ROMs with stock (HTC) ROMs (RUU).
Custom ROMs (as mentioned): s-on if fine, just need unlocked bootloader, and custom recovery TWRP
Stock/official ROM (RUU): If you are changing carrier/region versions, you need s-off and change the CID (or SuperCID). But this is not recommended nor necessary for most folks (only suggested for experienced users, with the proper circumstances).
