Root Rooted, Restore S-On?

Currently S-Off using Revolutionary. Rooted via SuperClick. Using Virtuous Affinity ROM.

What would happen is I flashed PG88IMG(ENG 0.98.2000) which I downloaded from Fox777 post? Presumably it would restore me back to HBoot 0.98.2000? Would this mean that I lose root? Would Virtuous Affinity still work?

Why? Perhaps this is a misconception. I have the impression that S-On is more secure than S-Off. Is this correct?

Sorry for the n00b questions.

You are thinking about 0.98.0002, that is your stock hboot, and if you flashed that one you'd loose s-off, not sure about root.

The one 0.98.2000 is a engineering hboot, and installing that shouldn't make you loose root, and to my understanding affect your current rom, but no reason to flash it though.

More secure yes, but you cant flash roms/recovery etc (more locked down than anything else), so I really wouldn't worry about it at all. If anything were to be the security hole root would be it.
