    Default DO I have these steps right? Want to go S-off but need to match firmware

    I am currently running Scotts Clean Rom 4.5, I did not S-Off

    I would like to know but have been told that I am still on GB firmware and to S-off my firmware needs to match my Rom

    So - I coud either install a GB firmware like

    Or I could install ICS RUU like

    My first question - Which makes the most sense/easiest for going S-Off with Juopunut's S-Off program?

    Second questions - For either method do I have to relock? I believe my phone is unlocked still but I am not 100% positive

    Third question - Anything else I should know?

    Appreciate the help.

    Stock rom is recommended.

    You might be able to run in on gb firmware, but you will have to check. If you can then it will be a download option. If you just do this, then find the stock but rooted GB rom on xda(I'm sure there is one) and flash it. Then follow the soff instructions.

    If not then you will have to relock, run the .5 ruu. Unlock. Install recovery. Root. And then follow soff instructions.

    Nothing you need to know other than to be careful. Your safety net with son is now gone. Just don't flash anything odd or crazy and you should be fine.

    O and you will have to flash the custom hboot to get fastboot commands back unless you want to unlock again(you will be locked again after soff).

    Everything you need to know is in the instructions to do it

    Here's my question. Why do you want S-Off. I mean going back to GB isn't exactly the greatest move and that's one of the only real things that S-Off offers. I know in the end it's your decision but I just don't know that it's necessary.
