I've kept abreast of the current state of s-off and root for the past week and have done some searches but haven't seen a concrete answer yet.
Will I still be able to apply the s-off and root method using the prescribed procedures and software considering I've downloaded all the available ota firmware?
Thanks in advance.

What about those of us who didn't install the OTA update? Can we still install it after S-OFF & root?

If the ROM you flash doesn't already have the updates baked in, which they will, then yes.

I've read that eventually someone will create a zip file that S-ON people can flash to get the latest firmware? I'm unlocked with S-ON & HBoot 1.19 and the instructions to unlock in the first place was a pain and it sounds just as confusing to get the latest firmware. Dirty raccoon also looks like something ill screw up. Does anyone have an idea on how long this zip of the firmware will become available? Unless its flashing ROMs/themes its outside of my league

I realize it's not a direct answer to your question, but I was in the same position as you until yesterday when I finally created a live DVD of Ubuntu and followed the directions for DirtyRacun to finally get S-OFF on my hboot 1.19. If you follow the steps carefully and take them one at a time, it's really not that bad.
I'm now running rooted Jellybean stock with the latest radio. Good luck to you.

As far as I know you need full write access to nand memory to be able to flash any firmware. Dirty Racun isn't too hard to run successfully
If you are s-on you have to relock your bootloader then take the OTA to update firmware. After you take the ota you can unlock your bootloader again. Although it is highly recommended to s-off because there's no telling how long it could take to get s-off for the new hboot.
I just relocked and ran RUU now im back up and running and currently installing the JB update. I may re-root in a lil while i will just rock stock till the new year. Thanks for everyones help!

This simply adds the Talkback feature, correct? So if I don't need that I shouldn't bother until the Sense 5/4.2.2 update?

none that I can see other than it's updated, for all we know it could contain security updates, patched exploits, ect... I really don't know enough about bootloaders to really see what each different one has, unless you know how to read HTC's object code, im not sure anyone other than HTC knows what is contained in each release...

Question, with what is in the OTA, if someone who has S-OFF through Moonshine and root (but not a custom recovery) were to take it, would there be any issues?

I am on engineering hboot, rage Rom, and phone said I have an update and after deferring it made me choose a date. I froze "updater" but am not sure that will stop the update. How do I ensure no update occurs short of switching roms? Also, will it try to update from VZW side anyway now?
sd card went kaput on me. I had stock rom on it before that was flashable from the bootloader (PJ75IMG.zip) and would like to have it again, been looking around but can't seem to find one. If anyone can point me the right way that would be super.
Thanks

It was a PM75IMG that had the stock (no root) Rom, stock recovery, basically put everything back to stock minus the bootlader.

I have the firmware but I am looking for the full no root Rom. Easier to find rooted.
How about the ViperRUU?

Yes. I locked the boot loader. Then flashed the old RUU to get stock recovery. Then upgraded OTA. Then unlocked the bootloader again through HTCDEV. Then put TWRP on and rooted again. Long process but it works.

Please excuse my noobishness, but I've been trying to find the RUU and cannot seem to locate it. Can you post a link or direct me so I can flash the OTA as well. And thanks, been waiting since last night for someone to clarify OTA installation for root users. Also does it matter what ROM I am currently using? And one more thing(lol sorry,) please clarify or direct me as to how to 're-lock or lock boot loader. Thanks! Your all awesome!
