No s-off, but a perm root - 2 different ones 1) just perm root & busybox installer sctipt & 2) a root tool script with a ton of extras (search xda), unlocked bootloader (via htcdev.com) , & recoveries (clockworkmod port & teamwin twrp - different threads) on xda

i already have root and am using the teamwin recovery and have a unlocked bootloader but cant get S-OFF.
Which as far as i know is what i need to start flashing kernals/roms but i dont know too much about this stuff.

I don't know of any roms availible yet, but you can flash roms with s-on & your unlocked bootloader & the recovery. No radios or kernels on their own. Kernels can be changed only when they are included with the rom.

Ok thanks but what does s-off do exactly?

Here is a good article for explaining s-off. http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...on-htc-android-phones-with-unrevoked-forever/

Your phone is kind of s-off (w/o saying s-off) with the htc unlock bootloader you followed on htcdev. This explains it here. http://htcdev.com/bootloader/faq The last question explains what you can do after you run their instrustions & why your phone says "s-on" still.

Thanks that explained it a lot. So I should be able to flash roms when 1 is developed for this phone?

No problem. Yep. The first ones will most likely be debloated stock roms w/slight theme work.
