[q] s-off methods and supercid

So which s-off works better / is safer? Moonshine or Facepalm? Never mind, I got the answer to that on another thread.
Also, as far as supercid, would this method be better than this one?

Gaining S-OFF on rooted HTC One S???

Hi.
I am trying to fix my girlfriends phone which I rooted quite a long time ago.
Phone is currently using Venom ROM 3.1.0 and is experiencing a lot of random reboots.
I've read somewhere that upgrading the kernel and radio might be able to solve this, however don't I need to gain S-OFF before I can do either of these two?
Hboot 2.15
Unlocked bootloader
Kernel 3.4.10
Baseband 1.15
Venom ROM 3.1.0
Version (dunno what this is) 4.06.401
In trying to gain S-OFF I've made my way to Ubuntu on a LiveUSB - writing from that right now - Tried out both rumrunner and moonshine S-off methods.
Both unsuccessful.
As far as I can understand to gain S-OFF with facepalm (which is the only method I think there is left) method I need to have superCID, but I have no clue of how to gain superCID..?
If this isn't a possiblity I think the only way to gain S-off is to go back to stock rom and use rumrunner or moonshine.
Since I am not that well known on the HTC One S, could someone point me towards a guide of unrooting the HTC One S?
Thanks!

[Q] S-Off

What 's that ? How to do it ? What it will cost ? Needed for what ?
Basic questions that you will get an answer by searching on xda or googling.
Soff is mean security off. No any restrictions on any phone partition. You can do anything and you can bricked your phone easily if you don't understand what you do.
How to do, several methods ; firewater, sunshine, etc some success but some not. But for E8 suggest to do Soff using sunshine with cost $25

Sunshine vs. Firewater S-Off?

What are the pro's and con's of each? What do I need S-Off for other than firmware updates?
I'm not a developer, so all my flashing/unlocking etc. just comes from reading directions. If I don't need to S-Off i won't because I wouldn't want the increased risk if I dont need to.
Back in the days of the HTC Rezound, i could do everything S-On, the only thing was S-Off would make things easier bc you wouldn't need a PC to flash a ROM

Right now VZW blocks bootloader unlocks via HTC dev. So you cannot unlock and root.
Right now on 4.4.4 no temp root tool/exploit exists in the wild.
Fire water will not work on 4.4.4.
Fire water will work on SOME 4.4.3 devices.
Fire water will not be continued.
Sunshine will work on ALL 4.4.3 devices.
Sunshine will be updated to work on 4.4.4
Sunshine unlocks and S-off's in one shot. Allowing you to be able to upgrade/downgrade firmware and also repair your phone more easily if you mess up.
