i dont think you need s-off. 1.5hboot uses the htc method for unlocking. follow this guide

Only way to get s-off with 1.5 is to have had s-off and manually upgraded the bootloader, AFAIK. That's how I kept my s-off, at least.
If you've already done the OTA to 1.5, I don't think you can fix it. But I was on 1.4 with s-off and downloaded the 1.5 PM86IMG from scott's roms, and when I installed the zip, my bootloader was locked, but I had s-off. It was a simple matter of unlocking the bootloader again, and now I have unlocked 1.5 with s-off.

You can also use an app in the market called flashGUI to flash kernel and recovery images

First, no you can not get s-off.
Second, you need to flash the kernel via fastboot. Take the boot.img from whatever ROM you are planning to use and flash it via fastboot. Then flash the ROM.
You always have to flash the kernel separately if you have s-on.

There is no means to get s-off with hboot 1.5. If you want to root and ROM with hboot 1.5 you have to use the HTC unlock method. This method does not give you s-off, which creates issues with accessing the kernel partion. In order to flash a different kernel or a ROM with a different kernel, you need to extract the kernel from the ROM or download the kernel seperately and flash it using fastboot and the adb or fastboot commands. I don't know them off the top of my head, but if you search hard enough you will find them. Otherwise, you can also downalod the Flash Image GUI app for $.99 from the market and flash kernels from the app. When I was on hboot 1.5 this was how I did it and it is by far the easiest way to flash a kernel or new recovery image. I recently had my phone replaced under warranty and got it with hboot 1.4 still loaded, so I no longer have this problem. But, if you are running hboot 1.5 and you want to a new ROM or kernel, Flash Image GUI is the way to go!
