[Q] Sooo Confused about S-Off Prerequistes & Procedures - HTC Rezound

Ok here are the steps I have taken since acquiring my HTC Rezound. I checked and noticed that it was running ICS when I first received it. I then used AIO kit to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP recovery, and gain root access. I was a bit impatient and decided to skip on reading around on how to use adb( I still lack knowledge on using) to gain S-off. I then began flashing roms. While I have not experienced any extraordinary issues since doing this, I have noticed that life is a lot easier being S-off. I would like to know if I can go S-off from these aforementioned steps, or do I need to revert everything I have done up to this point and start over or what. By the way, I was an idiot and accidentally deleted my stock rom off the sd card so I really have nothing to restore other than the roms I have been running which have all been ics roms. I've read a lot of different information on this and am not sure what to do. Any help in getting me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Just run an ruu that will bring you back to stock so you can s off.
Fyi, I did s off while running viperrez 1.0.3
It's recommended to be stock but not necessarily required

Anything after 3.14.605.5 will work, for example the global ruu is 4.03.605.something. I would suggest the global as it is the latest

Got it downloaded and plan to run it tomorrow. Just wanted to ask one more question before I do.... On the site it states that this will not work if you used the HTC Bootloader Unlock tool. Does this entail the method I used to unlock my bootloader?? Sorry if I sound so cautious, just do not want accidentally brick my phone or to hear my wife's crap if something unfixable happens.

We've all used HTCDev unlock. All that means is that you will have to re lock

Re-lock
Run RUU
Unlock
Flash Amon-Ra recovery
Root stock ROM (flash SuperSU .zip via recovery) or flash whatever ROM you want.

Finally S-Off
It took some vigorous reading and patience, but I finally got it. Thanks to everyone who pointed me in the right direction.

So you can't just restore a unit from a nandroid backup (running the stock ROM) and you actually have to find a RUU to flash the phone?

No ruu, I'm sure just being on a stock rom will suffice
