If you have new hboot (2.00.002) and you are S-OFF, it means your phone has hardware S-OFF, using XTC clip. You don't have to unlock it. You can do right about everything with your phone without unlocking it.

So why is this

Try 'fastboot oem unlock'
Some first gen phone's were s-off to start with. Don't quote me on that, I'm guessing.

Because s-off/s-on and locked/unlocked are 2 different things. Trust me being s-off'ed by xtc clip is more then enough, you can install anything you want. I have a phone like that. Don't unlock, there is no need for that. You can flash any RUU if you want so and still stay s-off and then flash any custom rom, and then RUU again... I've done that all more then once.

Since your phone already is s-off,
You can root it now using a tool like superoneclick or something else.

Agree with the above.
What I personaly did is installed latest RUU 2.10.401.9 just to have the latest hboot and radio (since I have xtc clip s-off, I stayed s-off). Then rooted it with one click tool, flashed latest 4ext recovery and installed my favorite custom rom.

Is it necessary to take nandroid backup before rooting or we can simply backup our appz

Are you kidding?? Already told you.
If it's already s-off, root it with superoneclick, install recovery like 4ext or cwm, backup everything and flash roms like it's going crazy.
Search the forums, it's written a hundret times everywhere!#!

Dude, you know, I'm not gonna do the simple search work for you. I tried to help you but I have other things to do aswell. If you're not able to find the mentioned stuff by yourself, you should probably not play around with your device...

You have the latest unlocked hboot already... No need to update it to locked 1.29 hboot
You are perfectly fine with the current hboot

Downgrade H-BOOT after S-OFF - any takers so far?

Has anyone tried to downgrade the H-BOOT ofter S-OFFing?
I mean, did anyone with say H-BOOT 2.15 try to do someting like this for example:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot_1.13.0000_signedbyaa.nb0
Is that possible or am I going to brick my One S?

I downgraded by flashing an hboot zip through my recovery. It doesn't really make a difference since we are s-off though.

Is there anyway to flash a new hboot in recovery? Say 2.15? And if so is there a tut on how to? I'm currently on 1.14.0003

Look in boot splash thread in themes. Its has different hboot zips.
