Flashing custom rom without s-off

Hi, I want to ask if any of you guys flashing custom rom into device that still s-on but rooted. I'm doing this to my device cause its very hard to me to get the s-off. We need to do short circuit thingy I guess (HTC Sensation XE). My concern here that I'm afraid flashing custom rom to s-on device can harm or brick my device as the developer said to do so. Pls give your opinion. Thx.

No harm. I just did it yesterday on a replacement I got with HBOOT 1.27. Easy process as well, just follow the instructions.

What do you mean by doing extra step 1#? Unlocking using HTCDev? Ive done before. But if you say to unlocking HTCDev every time I flashed new rom. Is such a pain. OR, Is that anyway it can be lock again? Coz before this wifi thingy happen ive flash many rom & kernel. I think this cause my wifi not functioning. Sorry Im totaly lost now. Sorry also coz being noob here. My bad.
Thanks in advance. Really need a guide for solving this. FYI I got 2 Sensation XE. The other is just fine with the custom rom. But this one is gave me so much trouble.

escpecially in S-ON devices after flashing a custom rom if the smartflash feature(4ext recovery) fails(you notice that when the device is trying to boot the rom and it is bootlooping)then the only option is to flash the boot.img of the rom manually

Not true!!!

I am still S-ON and I flash whatever roms I like. It is very difficult to hard brick your phone if you're S-ON. If however you're S-OFF, you can potentially screw up your phone. So no worries about bricking if you're S-ON (unless you do something really really naughty!!!).

you can flash whatever rom you want. read the guides and make sure you understand whats up. if your really jacked up flash an RUU, then read the guides fully and start over. no harm doing it that way. Flash a 2.3.4 RUU or and ICS RUU,

good thing you didnt do the recovery from soff ...and no need to care for bootloader unlock ..as you have much better unlocked bootloader after soff by revolutionary ...
now in general section ..go to flashing 3.33 and arhd rom thread by joaquinf (sticky in general section) ..and follow that guide to letter ..to have a working ICS ROM (post #1 and post #2 in that thread)
EDIT:and for thanks there is a thank button to say that

THANKS A MILLION I READ YOUR POST AND MY PHONE BOOT UP OK!!:laugh:
btw do i really need to S-OFF??

ive rooted, recovery'd, and new rom'd! what about sim unlock?

hi, ive just done all of the above, taking my vodafone branded/locked sensation and installing a custom rom for my mum who is on 3 mobile... will this now work with her sim, or do i need to do further mods to it??
Many thanks

You can unlock the phone, there's a guide, just search for it, or if you e-mail vadafone they can unlock you device for free (if u r on contract). That's what I've done.
