That's the link for root which will allow you to flash roms. You are correct that soff is for radio flashing and easier for kernels.

Hi,
I'm new to rooting Android (first android this year) and started trying to catch up before I root.
I'm also on 2.13 - the process I was thinking of doing was:
S-Off Dirty Racun --> TWRP --> Custom Rom
But on this thread it looks like:
S-Off Dirty Racun --> RegawMod Rooter (which includes everything) My question is: The RegawMod includes a bootloader unlocker - does that duplicate what the Dirty Racun S-Off does? Or is it safe to do both?
Thanks,

This is the route I'd take.
If someone didn't want S-Off, then I'd go with RegawMOD's rooter.

Oh ok cool, thanks a lot, still reading and not ready to quite do it yet, but getting there.
Thanks

What do u mean? Im trying to root my phone what does radio off mean?

S-off for hboot 2.09

Hi. If I didn't search thoroughly for a question like this, I apologize ahead of time. But I was curious if there is a way to s-off hboot 2.09 that is currently s-on?
I have not tried dirty racun yet.

Right now there isn't. That's the newest version and I doubt anyone has even begun working on finding the exploit as yet.

I went s-on since day one after I got bored of stock and have never had any problems Tbh, I almost pity all the poor s-off folks who were too terrified to take the ota All it takes is a couple extra steps to flash anything and its been worth it so far. I preordered so I had plenty of chances to S-Off early on but I don't regret it at all.

Now s-on is not bad at all right? The only con is having to flash boot.img through fast boot when flashing a rom?

Another con is you can't update your firmware unless you relock and take the OTA or hope a recovery flashable zip comes along
So if your hboot was s-off, how is it any different than s-on? You still have to run the RUU to go back to stock then get the OTA right? Or are you talking about some other OTA?

There are Firmware zips available right now for 3.15 that can be flashed in the bootloader but you must be S-OFF to flash them.Just flash and everything is updated except hboot,kernel,and stock recovery.
Flashing those firmwares is the same as taking the OTA except for what I mentioned above

Ugh - took the OTA on an HTCdev unlocked boot loader and now it seems hboot 2.09 locks down the systems (can't update supersu binary, they locked down /system?). Now on viperboy stock rooted rom...
Hopefully they come out with an s-off technique for 2.09, need to be able to "hide" supersu/root binaries on my device...
Any news on s-off for hboot 2.09?
Hi, I'm am a noob, I got the JB update, then decided to root my phone. I am unlocked and rooted. I would like to turn s-off but my hboot is 2.09.
I am trying to flash mean bean and every time it gets to around 25%, my phone reboots. I am using twrp to try flashing it.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or what I need to do?
Thanks again.

Flashable 3.15 firmware for S-ON?

I've read that eventually someone will create a zip file that S-ON people can flash to get the latest firmware? I'm unlocked with S-ON & HBoot 1.19 and the instructions to unlock in the first place was a pain and it sounds just as confusing to get the latest firmware. Dirty raccoon also looks like something ill screw up. Does anyone have an idea on how long this zip of the firmware will become available? Unless its flashing ROMs/themes its outside of my league

I realize it's not a direct answer to your question, but I was in the same position as you until yesterday when I finally created a live DVD of Ubuntu and followed the directions for DirtyRacun to finally get S-OFF on my hboot 1.19. If you follow the steps carefully and take them one at a time, it's really not that bad.
I'm now running rooted Jellybean stock with the latest radio. Good luck to you.

As far as I know you need full write access to nand memory to be able to flash any firmware. Dirty Racun isn't too hard to run successfully
If you are s-on you have to relock your bootloader then take the OTA to update firmware. After you take the ota you can unlock your bootloader again. Although it is highly recommended to s-off because there's no telling how long it could take to get s-off for the new hboot.
I just relocked and ran RUU now im back up and running and currently installing the JB update. I may re-root in a lil while i will just rock stock till the new year. Thanks for everyones help!

I believe uou first have to unlock your bootloader in order to be able to downgrade. And as far as being s-on you might not be able to flash many of tge available ROMS. Keep in mind that guide is for CDMA by the way

I think I saw in one of the threads you are on cricket? If so your flash is safe using this guide
You need a computer to unlock bootloader. Go to htcdev.com and you follow the guide there then continue with the link i posted. You are CDMA by the way. Also look at the guide this other guy posted by ramjet.

As mentioned, superuser would do the trick. SuperSU is another option out there too. I'd download both just in case you have issues. Most roms work well with both, but some roms (under 10% I'd guess) play nicer with one than the other.

Can you give more info about your phone? ROM (really only need to know if you're on new partitions), method of unlock & S-off, versions of HBOOT & TWRP or other recovery? I've had issues flashing .zips with certain HBOOT/TWRP combinations even while being HTC-dev unlock and firewater S-off, which is (according to others more competent than I) the ideal unlock/s-off combo.
