You are lazy.
No you will not obtain root.
No you will not have S-Off.
Yes, you will be able to run specific tools to obtain S-Off.
Yes, you will be able to run specific tools to obtain Root.
And finally, yes. I am being serious.

Unlock your bootloader at htcdev.com. Then flash the twrp 2.6 and install the root if you want. You get a option to. Then if you want to s-off use the revone method or the rumrunner. I prefer the revone.

Hello there, Thanks for they reply! How do I flash twrp 2.6 and how do I install the root? I think I have seen tutorials for s-off so i'll be ok with that.

After you unlock bootloader, you can just google or search on the fourums on how to install twrp using cmd if you have windows.

Hello everyone.
I would like to know how to unlock DS to all networks.
I am running stock firmware 2.3.5., locked bootloader, S-ON.
I have been browsing the forums but did not quite understand everything.
Do I have just to S-OFF my device? If so, can you give me a link or explain it here?
Thanks in advance!

Use search on XDA Developers.Really helps.
Read this.
S-OFF won't help.
There's no way you can unlock network by yourself.Only if you know some real hacking. XTC clip or some other way still do that trick.Maybe to ask your network provider or go to mob shop and ask them to unlock.You will probably need to pay.
i also need to make it S-OFF

Start by searching and reading mate - you're far from the first to ask these questions, and there are many threads with the relevant information and guides.

It took me 2 weeks of searching to answer this question. While there are probably other ways, it's difficult with this precise config because most of the root exploits have been closed by OTAs. You can either use HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader or, better, buy a very cheap XTC Clip in the first instance as that will give you permanent hassle-free S-Off.
Will we see a root for locked bootloader or is it impossible?

Personally I wouldn't count on it. But then, I am a pessimist when it comes to Sony rooting/modding etc.
It's not impossible but it will probably take a while for someone to find a way. There are some smart guys looking into it but who knows if/when they'll find anything.
A thread with a progress, attempts or ideas would be nice - IF some1 works on a solution. Maybe others could help.
