Does the S-off on the bootloader mean we'll be able to load unsigned roms with nand access?
Yes.

It doesn't magically allow you to install roms from other devices....

but it does allow you to write to /system without shutting your phone down with Root Explorer! That radio looks pretty good too!

doesn't this mean we'd have to revert back before we can do anything?
No, not really. Only if you wanted to go back to stock for warranty purposes.
So what does "a-off mean" and why does it matter.

it's S-off and it means the phone is truly unlocked. right now we can only do things from recovery, with S-off we can do anything we want and do it with the phone booted up.

if this S-off mod was done to the old Hboot wouldn't we have to go back and use the old hboot?

Just because it means there's the potential that we'll have to use your technique to revert the HBOOT back to .77 in case the new Unrevoked Forever method isn't compatible with .79.
No.
With nand unlocked, we can flash radios forwards and backwards, as well as kernels, roms, etc.
If you were wanting to remove the hacked SPL though, you would have to go through the typical reversion steps listed in other threads.

Go ahead and try it first with out factory resetting. If it doesn't work then you'll need to factory reset. I'm sure you'll be fine with out doing it though.

No the SIM is optional. But I would highly suggest the bootloader. Especially if you're going to be flashing ROM's and kernels.

I'm glad you got it to work man. And you're welcome.
can someone point me in the direction as to where in these forums i can find how to downgrade 2.3.3 to 2.2 for my evo? or if its even possible? thank you...i hope.
I don't believe its possible...yet.
not possible as yet unless you have s-off. if you are asking for 2.3 root (hboot 2.16.0001) then the answer is no.
not yet if u find one please share.

No it has to have been s-off first. Only way to do that is if you flashed 2.3.3 from XDA.
If you did the OTA and you're s-on you're currently stuck.
ok thank you.

Download terminal emulator from the Market and type in
cat /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device/name
Then hit enter.
Edit: There is a space between "cat and forward slash". No space after that.

Lol, nothing, just wait it out, i have the "bad" chip and my phone is fine. If your unrooted, it probably won't die before you are eligble for an upgrade. Unfortunatly, thats the best advice i or anyone can give you.

So , well doesnt matter what method I would use to root and unlock? only wait and see ?

Ok, since your on Gingerbread, youll need to downgrade to froyo.
Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Then you'll need to root it once your on 2.2.1
Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
I know its a lot but make sure you read all of it before you actually do it.
Oh, and GFree is a package that uses exploits to gain root. It also sim unlocks. I believe there is a youtube video on how to use GFree, it looks sketchy but follow it lol.
Here is the link for that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4B4y0CQUDo

I'm not here to bash anything, so don't take this the wrong way, but DO NOT USE THIS METHOD. I did the same thing after a while it will turn off your phone randomly and brick it. You probably won't believe me but you'll see, it has happened to a ton of people. I just don't want people to make the same mistake I did. DO NOT USE THIS METHOD.

Nothing to see here. It's just a stock non-rooted odexed firmware tar. No different than what's on Kies.
