Ok, I just read the boot loader is locked on the AT&T HTC One X. Since I'm new to this is that bad? Will this keep me from rooting and adding different rooms on to it? What does this mean?

Thats exactly what that means, if they do not give the option to unlock you wont be able to customize.

Until someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader without HTC then yes, you wont be able to do much.
I'm sure someone will hack it eventually
Also, wrong forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Sorry I searched my soon to be phone and this was the area it gave me. So I posted up my question.
Admin/mods plz move thread.
All I want to be able to do is install and use Titanium Backup. Can this be done without the whole bootloader unlock / install CWM recovery / Flash SU method?
This is for a GSM GN from the Google Play store.
No. Not that know of exploits like that don't work anymore. But you can just unlock, flash a recovery, flash superuser. Then flash the stock recovery and relock the boot loader.

the only way you can do that is if you're on 4.0.2, but i would bet you are on 4.0.4

Just 'fastboot boot cwm.img', flash "su.zip", reboot, done.

Wouldn't recommend relocking the bootloader. He'll just have to wipe again next time he needs to unlock.

I would NOT recommend it either.
However, if he feels like he really has to re-lock, we now have a method that can unlock the bootloader without wiping, assuming you have root of course. (But if you ever lose root... you are screwed!
EDIT: I didn't realize that the OP had a Play Store device. Although I don't have one, the Play Store devices are said to NOT wipe when the bootloader is unlocked.

Thanks for the info. And just an FYI, my Play Store device does wipe data when I unlock the bootloader. Not a huge deal, but it does reset it to factory state.

some people have said it didnt wipe when they unlocked the bootloader when they got theirs from the playstore.
i always assume its going to wipe everything.
I had no idea that unlocking the bootloader would wipe everything, but I knew I had to unlock it first in order to root it so I could backup all my apps with Titanium Backup, so guess what happened..
The thing is, if I hadn't done that, I would have waited for the official Jelly Bean from Samsung for quite a while, for my yakjuxw variant...
Pfff. Everything about this whole affair with ROMs, rooting, backing up, seems so weird and counter-intuitive to me. I just don't understand it!

That just means you haven't done enough reading. It is actually quite simple and logical once you read and understand how things work.

I just dont like seeing the opened lock icon below the google logo when the phone boots up, But i just want root, and the stock recovery for future ota
So Rooting it and re-locking the bootloader doesn't limit the root functionality right?
and is there a possibility of having root + CWM + Locked bootloader ?
will CWM work that way ?
Plus whats the procedure to unlock bootloader without wiping device if your device has root + locked bootloader?

Use segv11's app. It is linked in the "Unlock bootldr w/o wipe" link in my signature.

There is a app to change those splash screen images. (logo me) My kids didn't like seeing the lock either. Used app to change lock icon to black image.

Man, I just don't get how that is that big of a deal.. I think the unlock logo at the bottom is actually cool. My friend said one of his friends didn't want to root his Nexus 7 because he didn't like the unlock symbol on the boot up screen too... I was soo confused. How can it bother you that much?

No issue for me personally. I change the splash logo on all my oem devices with my personnel symbol. Kids device their name in place of the Google.

Well my previous phone was an android which was never updated officially after eclair. Running Cm7 ports kinda lagged the phone which was pretty noticeable after 24 hours or so,
So i used to reboot it everyday to clear memory. and yeah, I guess old habits die hard and i just love the jellybean boot up animation, so no reason not to reboot it, and thanks a lot for your replies

Yeah, i felt it was cool too for the first 3 months of having the Gnex but recently, Every friends non-google device i see (specifically the s2 or the s3) has the triangle on the splash screen, When they see my phone start up without the unlock symbol, they're all like "whoa dude, you still haven't modded your phone?"
then i'll go like "Nah, Why should i do that when i have the purest android ever and there's no need to mod this fast beast"
Long story cut short, i just wanna show off how awesome pure android is
No

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Found a way to remove at&t splash screen by accident. Here is it:
1. Jailbreak your device. Enable live fs access.
2. Connect your device to your PC. Delete YOURPHONE\Local Storage\Windows\System32\ATT_Splashscreen.png
3. Reboot and see.
where would you find the verizon one? that ATT one seems so easy, but I cant find any verizon crap on windows or system32, I've always wanted to delete that red boot screen or replace with a windows one, custompfd says it does that but im not sure that will work or maybe could brick it
Thanks for this, I finally got rid of Vodafone's ugly splash screen \Windows\System32\Tetra_720x1280.jpg

Yes, I just deleted it. No bootloop. By the way, if you want faster full access to the phone, you should turn off Windows Search service (WSearch) on your PC.
not even unlock with wpinternals needed. just get a cv-rom for your device and flash it, there are plenty of tutorials how to debrand lumias allover the net

Flashing the phone to get rid of an image? That's ludicrous! Besides, you can't use WDRT after that, the program will deliver the operator firmware.
gets rid of the splash screen and preinstalled crap apps. and yes if you reflash it with wdrt it will flash the branded firmware again

CV's have bloatware too, mostly from Microsoft. Anyway, for those looking for another solution, CustomPFD (in General Tweaks) and WPTweaker (in User Interface) have options to change the boot picture.
cant do that on 928 or icon, there are no CVs(although trying a 930 cv on the icon is tempting...), also just tried customPFD and it just adds a picture after all the boot sequence is done, it doesnt replace anything

Hello!
Is there a way to remove, or change, the warning splashscreen, the one after unlocking BL?
Thanks!
This has been answered a hundred times already. No, it can't be done

Hey there, not really sure, but this must be the right place to ask for some help..
Being a professional bugger, I have managed to accomplish the impossible... I think I have flashes 1 more Asus logo to my device. Now I got 1 warning, 2asus logos, and the rom logo.
Can someone share a method so I can remove them?

I’m not sure whatsapp you have done, but I can say that it should be normal. The first ASUS logo, I think, is loaded by the Google alert of a modified / unsigned system partition, and the second is loaded by the ASUS bootloader.
My Zenfone do it as well, but is not a question of flashing more than one splash screen, I’m sure.

Ahah thanks for the information, it must be as you say..
But, is there any way to remove them?
I think that it is possible to remove the warning, downgrading and upgrading all over again..
I have tried to remove the img files, but they come up again after reboot.
If there are commands to flash them, i think that there must be some sort of command to "unflash", or some file i could eddit, so the OS does not require to load them.
Can this be done ?? If so how
What kind of question is this? I do not think there is a way to get a boot screen from another device unless you have the phone rooted, and then somehow get the boot animation from a Mate SE, and then replace the default boot animation with the Mate SE one.

Sorry, what? I can't understand you. When I say what kind of question this is, I mean why would any "logical" person try to get another phone's boot screen onto their phone? What is the purpose of doing so? What do you have to gain out of it? Smh.

No, I still don't know why you can't spell correctly. Anyway, I already listed the steps to switch up the boot animation. You can easily Google this information but instead resort to asking here. Smh.

I did not change it on mine, but just located to bootanimation.zip
it is in /version/special_cust/BND-L24/hw/usa/media/bootanimation.zip on the L24
each region/ model will have different path.
there is also a second animation located in
\version\region_comm\oversea\media
don't know when it is used . On mine, the one in the hw folder has "wwwhi.honor.us.com " on the bottom of all the images, and that matches the animation being used. The other one has larger images and no addresses on the images.
I'm also interested in this, since I already replaced my boot animation with one that has a dark background from here. The Mate SE logo screen is just the simple HUAWEI logo on a black background, which is less visually jarring (especially with the warning screen that's displayed after the bootloader is unlocked).
I understand that the boot logo on Huawei devices is stored in oeminfo.img, but I haven't figured out how to unpack/repack it for the hi6250 devices.
