What are the downsides of using this to root,other than warranty issues? Will anything prevent me from s off in the future? I've never used this method before.

If s-off is achieved, there will not be a problem for you. Just don't accept an OTA, and you'll be good.
So dev unlock keeps the s-on yet allows us to flash recovery and roms?

Can flash roms from bootstrap recovery. No need to unlock bootloader.

I was just wondering should I re lock my bootloader bcuz since the source dropped I kno it will b unlocked bootloader with working 4g. Should I wait til then?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
I would just wait, unless you need 4g now. The fix maybe as simple as flashing a new kernel.
I was thinking bout that too I don't need it right now but its good to have the retain 4g method long as hell too

If we could find the original recovery image, the retain your 4G method would be short and simple. Still haven't found it anywhere.

Today I relocked my bootloader and ruu to stock. I need to bring the phone in over ongoing SIM issues. I am s-off. If I take the ota, will I be able to re-unlock?

Would I just unlock the way I did the first time? I thought the htcdev unlock didn't work after the update.

I think fastboot oem unlock will work since you are s off. But if that doesn't work then you can flash the same unlock bin token that you did the first time.

If I'm on the latest (2.06) can I restore to an earlier version that is rootable and already unlocked? Or no, sorry relatively new to the processes for HTC phones.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
If you are not currently unlocked then no.

Damn so htc doesn't have the unlock on htc.dev yet so okay that answered my question along with my own insinuation. Thank you please come again
Also this is not sarcasm. Reading text can be very misleading

The DNA will (probably) never be on HTCDev. Verizon didn't want it unlockable.

We could raise attention to htc about it by petition

Might make more sense to petition to Verizon since they're the ones keeping us locked.

True but HTC could update the unlock for the latest ota its the least they could do

No, it's not HTC's decision. Verizon took the DNA off the bootloader unlock section of htcdev.

With s-off, your bootloader is unlocked.
Mine is locked.

You are not able to flash a custom recovery and you have s-off????
I haven't tried. I wanna know if I can flash a Rom not a recovery, I already had cwm.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
If you have cwm, then you have a custom recovery. And via cwm you can flash custom roms.
