there is no reason
i did it
With the advent of the 4.2.2 sense roms reading the CID to determine which data icons you get, S-Off has a purpose there. For us with AT&T phones that means unless we don't change the AT&T CID we get AT&T data icons automatically. Changing that to either a generic(HTC__001) or US dev edition (BS_US001) with the fastboot oem rewritecid command will make you have the international icons. You could also use superCID, but for me at least I was having issues receiving texts using superCID.

If you don't know what s-off is then the chances are that you really don't need it.
Imagine if you can that your phone is a big box. With s-on that box is made of steel: you can drop it, throw it at a wall, store it in a tank of water and you're not likely to do it any real harm. With s-off it's made low grade glass.

If u don't know what it's for then you don't need it. It's as simple as that. Not a lot else to add because if u knew what S-OFF was you'd know if u need it

yes you can unroot simply by flashing a stock rom and use the revone tool to lock or relock your bootloader. if you re-lock, your warranty is still voided but if you lock the bootloader then you are good to go.

Agreed if you haven't read about it in the past two months or had HTC before and know what it is it may be best to keep s on so you don't brick yourself. S off allows you to change stuff that the average flashaholic should not change. One wrong move in a hex editor or ruu mode and you sir will have a very nice shoe horn

S-Off is for alot of low level stuff on the phone, flashing radios, hboot, getting rid of the red development text, tampered text from recovery, also it is possible to sim unlock with s-off although there isnt a 100 percent success rate atm, also changing your device identifier (CID) is possible with s-off, this allows you to flash any RUU that's available (SuperCID).

Hey Guys,
I'm gonna get a HTC One Max, and since there is no kernel till yet,i wanted to ask if its just possible to flash a One Kernel on the One Max... I'm not gonna unlock it when i get it,but for future use maybe this could be interessting... Reason why I ask is: One and One Max have the same GPU and CPU.
Maybe the Fingerprint Sensor would be a blockade?
Thx in advance.

1) As i know, atm the unlock of the Bootloader will corrupt your fingerprint and you can't use it.
2) No, don't flash One's kernel on the One Max, some thing are different, and the phone won't boot.
1) Yeah,that's right. As far as it is,Fingerprint Sensor is breaking...
2) Ohh okay.. Can the kernel be ported? Should be "easy',right?

I think is better wait for the source code by HTC and some devs will work on it.
The best thing to do now is wait
Ok cool.
I wouldn't Unlock my One Max if I have it,but just wanted to know for future use.
Waiting is always the best thing for such 'problems'.
But Thanks for your Answers!

And i think that some dev can re-enable the finger sensor after the unlock
So wait is the best thing
Yeah,should be haha hope there are going to be more devs... Till now,nearly nobody is there... :/

I can't get any other rooting software except kingo to root my device...Ive tried just about every rooter on here, and from what im just now reading on here kingo has severe security issues...which has me worried. Would that be a possible explanation for the roms im installing not allowing my wifi to activate? Cause if so id, like help actually getting one of these root...ers, on here to actually root my device.
But I always get that weird system/bin/su not found error when I use doomlordz easy rooter...with kingo It's flawless and quick, but there's probably a really bad reason for that....help please...
Doomlords methods have to work fine.
Which build do you have?

Yes sir, im on 10.3.1.E.0.191 on the t-mobile C6606... USB and unknown source allowed. It always says there is a system/bin/SU error Which is frustrating because i know it has to work, hundreds of others have done it, so that means its either my phone or me messing up somewhere along the lines....and id really like to not have china Tracking me on GPS and sending a missile through my bedroom window.
Link me the thread which you used
Do you have used the newest version of flashtool?

Doom's method don't work as you're not on a stock 0.67 firmware, but on a carrier specific firmware.
Correct me if i'm wrong but kingo is the only way.

So since kingo is the only way does that mean there is no way to fix the Wifi, not working issue? it doesn't turn on...its greyed out and when I can press it it just keeps saying turning on...I use the PhilzTouch Recovery system....
And this is the Rom im trying to install as I am stuck with a locked bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351803

I did the ta backup.
I just want to know if I need to reunlock the device if I wanna install a AOSP-based custom ROM like CM/AOKP.
If you want to try a non-stock based ROM, you must have the bootloader unlocked.
Otherwise your phone won't boot. It's self-explanatory in the ROM's thread
