You don't need S-Off to flash a custom ROM...
But it's not clear what you actually want to do - flash a custom ROM? Get the 4.3 stock ROM?

@pintabit is right, you only need an unlocked bootloader + a custom recovery to flash a custom rom. S-OFF is required for some GPE roms only. And some roms require a specific recovery version to be flashed correctly i.e ARHD require at least TWRP 2.6.3.3

Yup...be more specific with your question, and you are more likely to get a solution

HTC One 4.3 update from stock with ROOT? S-ON

Hello,
I have a HTC One with android 4.2.2 and sense 5, it's stock but I have a custom kernel, recovery and have rooted it.
It's S-ON and I still wish to upgrade to the sense 5.5 4.3, or a custom rom.
I'm not sure how to install a custom ROM With S-ON, on the HTC One, is it the same as on the HTC One X? (Flash kernel, Install ROM etc)
Could i keep my settings i have on stock 4.2.2 & sense 5 when installing a custom ROM?
Or how could I upgrade to 4.3 & sense 5.5. stock without losing root/my settings *(So no RUU)*
Kind regards
Siem

As long as your bootloader is unlocked and you have a custom recovery you can flash a ROM and it will work fine, S-ON just locks out the very very low level stuff.
You can't keep your settings, no.

Can i flash this rom?

Hello,
I'm currently running the SPRINT HTC M8 with Android version 5.0.1 (upgraded through OTA) with root and bootloader unlocked i think. I was just curious if i could flash that rom or if there was another rom that was pure lolipop that i can flash with s-on as i dont think we can do s-off right now??

Yes you can flash it. Being S-on you may need to flash the kernel separately from the ROM itself.
Just a normal flashing of the rom?
Wipe data system cache dalik then flash the rom? would i just flash the kernel after like i was flashing gapps? also is gapps included or do i need to flash that after the kernel?

Short answer...no you don't need to be s-off.
Long answer... most newer roms require your firmware to be updated to the latest for everything to work correctly, with s-off it's a lot easier to update your firmware then it is when you are s-on.
Hi. Any example of a rom to flash without s off?? Many thanks.!
You can flash ANY ROM without having to be S-off.

[Q] M7 with S-ON & flashing roms

Hey,
i'm going to try some custom roms on my gf's One M7, unfortunately she updated her M7 to Lollipop so i can't make an S-ON (right?!) except sunshine, which is not free. Anyway, i think S-ON is problematic but still ok, but which rom can i flash with S-ON?
Only stock based? Or any aosp based, but not higher Android than 5.0 ? I would like to try SkyDragon (Sense 7) but not sure if i brick the phone
Same s-on but different problem can't return to stock

If the phone is now running a lollipop firmware, you can flash any rom you'd like. S-On doesn't matter.

Even the Lollipop 5.1 (e.g. from M7 GPE) or 6.0 unofficial releases (if they are released/ported for M7)?
How about flashing cutom kernels (They will boot?) ?
Sorry, i'm really noob about possibilities with s-on (some time ago i had htc, but s-off'ed it)

System, boot(kernel), radio and recovery partitions are not secured so you don't need soff to flash a rom, kernel. Radio or recovery, you only need an unlocked bootloader.
