Hi. I was wondering if I really need to s-off. Is there really any good benefits? Also. Once I RUU back and relock does tampered flag and red text go away? Thanks

I always s-off my devices. It makes sure that no matter what you can always root your phone. I do this with my parents phone. I root them and s-off and then unroot. Therefore if I were to ever sell the phone or need to root for some reason I would have that option. And yes a RUU will clear everything out, after you have relocked your bootloader
RUU won't relock your bootloader, AFAIK.
you need to do that via adb. However, it will say "relocked" not "locked"
That's where S-off comes in. It allows you to have the benefits of root (mods) and the benefits of stock (warranty).

Hey i'm stupid, he's right to run a RUU you have to relock your bootloader

Wow, thanks for that! Just curious, has anyone had a warranty claim denied by HTC simply because the bootloader said "Relocked?"

Unlocking bootloaders and S-Off are different. Unlocking the bootloader just gives you some access to the boot partition, whereas S-Off means you have access to ALL partitions. Unlocking the bootloader is the first step.
With it unlocked, it will say UNLOCKED, and if you lock it back, it will say RE-LOCKED. With proper S-Off, you can downgrade the HBOOT so it will say LOCKED for warranty purposes. S-Off is not yet available for this phone

You will get the update but not be able to install it if you run a rooted stock rom. You won't be able to flash it unless you unroot and put the stock recovery on. This can be done with a ruu

Read Mikes topic in Android development, I'd recommend reading about it before you touch any of this. Wait for the 4.2.2 update to see if it solves your problem, it should be out soon. If not then I'd say go and root.

Unsure about going from s-off to s-on but relocking the bootloader should be a simple adb command. I'm pretty sure the bootloader relock command is in the above referenced thread via a link.

Search for a modified hboot then? I believe there are a few that will wipe the message, and you may be able to work from there. Relocking the bootloader would just be fastboot oem lock on most devices, but...
...you do remember that your device essentially is logged the moment you unlock your bootloader, right? HTC will know you unlocked the device because you needed their boot keys.
