Been reading and cant find a definitive answer so any help would be awesome.

I have a Verizon RAZR M 4.4.2 183.46.15, I have S-Off through Sunshine, rooted and TWRP installed. Somewhere through the process I lost all back ups and even stock images. I have tried several ROMS and none will get bast the boot loader screen. What I am wanting to try is an SBF back to 183.46.15 stock and go from there.

If I do this and SBF back to stock will I loose S-Off and have to spend $25. more to regain S-Off or is S-Off permanent? Or should I SBF to an older version? Links to SBF files are also welcome :)

Thanks in advance for an info.

I have S-Off through Sunshine
with Motorola Devices it's just an unlocked bootloader

Everything is working again after flashing a recovery with RSD. However i'e tried several custom roms and all of them never get past the boot loader screen. CM 12.1, Bliss pop and Dirty Unicorn, I'm really not picky just looking for a stable ROM.
RAZR M - Unlocked - Rooted 4.4.2 - 183.46.15 - TWRP v2.8.5.0 installed.
