I used revolution to get s-off and root last night. Is it possible to take the original ota so I can stop the nagging and have the newer hboot? Or will this cause me to lose s-off?

You will likely have to root again, which isn't a problem. You could have taken the OTA a month ago. It's better to have your phone working 100% than crippling it.
Now that we have S-OFF/Perm ROOT..all will be ok.
Teamwin's recovery does not work to flash the OTA. Anyone do this with clockwork from the s-off load?

Why take OTA? If you have s off just flash a rom that is based on the OTA version. I would recommend that you never take an OTA now just incase.
Good point... most OTA will overwrite Su binary and patch the hole that allowed root. This OTA does not.

Does this get acquired from htcdev unlock? Or by flashing? Thanks.

You can get it from the s-off process if you are running GB firmware or I think you can get it here:

I lost my root on the last OTA and since there are still no new method to re root on this new version might as well wait till the JB update. I think by Mid August / Sept we can see the new OTA to JB

There is a thread that I used after the OTA by xHausx that brought back r00t for me flawlessly, and I used HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader?
FYI.

I almost tried this until I read the following ~ I wanted the fixes in the latest OTA:
"Successful in rooting all builds up to 1.13.651.1."
It works for 1.22. It unlocks your phone and installs twrp. You just have to flash chainfires 0.94 superuser to be fully rooted

Wait, this is getting confusing. We should always be able to unlock thru htcdev on this phone no matter the firmware update. Achieving S-OFF is not yet possible on hboot 1.15, so, that's what some of us are hoping to have...

Yes, S-OFF on hboot 1.15 is a work-in-progress, perhaps with a future Lazy Panda exploit.
I believe the original user's requirement was root and unlocked on the current OTA.
These are HTC phones. You can always use HTC dev as a last resort. We will always have root.
Also, don't accept otas if your rooted or ever plan on rooting.

What do you get from being s-off? I'm htc dev unlock with s on and I've been able to run every rom with no problem and able to update my radio?

Believe that s-on with the new hboot restricts u as to what is flashable, ie kernels, splash screens, radios. Whereas the old hboot does not. Why some of us are waiting for s-off on current ota/hboot.

I am selling my Rezound today and i need to return it to its stock form. I am S-Off with ICS firmware and a different hboot. Cant remember which one. What are the steps i need to take? Do i just run the 2.01.605.11 ruu. Then put back to s-on and then relock bootloader?

I believe that should cover it, but depending on who you sell it to they're probably not going to notice s off

You didn't unlock through htcdev after you did s-off did you? If you didn't then theres no need to relock it will show locked.

No I didn't unlock. That's right. So will the next owner be able to receive ota's if I keep it s-off?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yeah as long as it has the stock recovery there shouldn't be a problem receiving ota's while s-off.
Sent From My HTC Rezound
Now what ota can I flash? Should I do the last latest gb one or the latest official ics one?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I would say go a head and flash the official ICS since it already started rolling out anyway.

I don't know if I'm missing it but I need to return my phone to stock. I'm on h boot 1.12 s-off. But the rom I am using is captain throwbacks. I don't want to mess up the phone because I have to return it. I'm on the latest radio and firmware. Just trying to give what information I can so I do this the right way. Thanks to anyone who may help.

You can run VipeRUU to return your phone back completely stock, locked & S-on. There is no RUU version higher than what VipeRUU offers.
