1. Can I just flash a rom without s-off? Specificly this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706338

2. What should i do about the kernel? Should i just leave it be?

3. So if i were to flash, I put the .zip in sd card, boot recovery, flash it right?

1. Yes, bootloader unlock will allow you to flash ROMs, however without S-OFF, boot.img will likely need to be flashed separately in fastboot.

2. Flash boot.img in fastboot

3. The ROM goes in sd card, and gets flashed in recovery (make sure to wipe data/factory reset). On the computer, go inside the .zip for the ROM and extract the boot.img file in the root. After flashing the ROM in recovery, reboot to fastboot mode (not HBOOT) and use fastboot to flash the boot.img

Hi, I need some advice on what to do with flashing roms. I have a htc butterfly(dlxub1) which bootloader is unlocked, rooted and have recovery on it. I still have s-on because i had some trouble with the usb3 ports and my laptop does not have 2.0 ports.

so some questions

1. Can I just flash a rom without s-off? Specificly this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706338

2. What should i do about the kernel? Should i just leave it be?

3. So if i were to flash, I put the .zip in sd card, boot recovery, flash it right?

Thanks!!!

thanks for the reply, after changing computers i managed to get s-off, so now my problem is i need to update my hboot to 1.57 from 1.55. Any guides?

and regarding the kernel, i don't really understand so if  i'm s-offed i won't need to manual flash boot.img just flash through twrp?

So now only obstacle is updating hboot to 1.57, where can i get the firmware.zip?
