Hello guys, I bought wildfire s and before I unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM, I would like to backup my Stock ROM in case I want to put it back. How can I do it? I was trying to search it but I'm surprised I didn't find a thread like that. Thank you

You will have to unlock the bootloader and root your phone before you can take a backup.
Use too manager from mkt to take th backup.

And is it possible to unroot the phone in case I want to apply the warranty in the service?

You don't loose the warranty when you root. You loose it when you update the HBOOT -- the very first step in the process. After successfully updating HBOOT, it comes up *** UNLOCKED (OOW) ***, presumably meaning "out of warranty" but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Plus, with the registration process required to update the HBOOT, I suspect that they know that your particular phone has been unlocked, so flashing an older locked HBOOT won't even help.
The bottom line: don't unlock your bootloader and root the phone if you care that much about the warranty.
Just got my marvelc today and found this guide in the stickys http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19448584 and the latest post is Dec 1st. I tried to post my question in that thread but tapatalk keeps saying "failed to connect" for some reason. So, I had to make a new topic about it. I'm just wondering if this is the guide I need or if theirs a newer method. My hboot is 1.06.
Tia.
That's how I did it and would do again if needed. U can also HTC dev unlock bootloader from their site I believe.

My hboot didn't say "locked", so I would need to update hboot to do htcdev, right? But to be honest, I'd much rather have s-off. My EVO 3d is htcdev unlocked (for now) and I'd like to slap HTC across the face for giving us this semi unlock. I know that something is better than nothing but I gotta jump through hoops to flash aosp. And I simply can't flash a custom splash screen or radio.

Just keep your hoot at 1.06 and do the goldcard s-off method. It's the full unlock and not the semi unlock crap. Seems like a lot of people on here with problems have the HTC unlock.

Hi,
I've been trying to root my HOX using oneclick with no success, I keep getting a "permission denied" message. I've tried to find an answer on XDA and via google but couldn't find one.
All I want to do is root my device in order to restore apps data from my old Desire using Titanium Backup, I don't want to unlock the bootloader or flash a new recovery (I want to still be able to get OTA updates as JB is about to be release later this month).
Is there a way to do so ?
I also tried the method from XDA (HTC_QuickRoot_1.1.13_Release) but I get a message stating that my device is patched (my software version is 2.18.751.7 if thats help).
Thanks a lot guys !

Those One Click Tools are going through HTCDev then unlock bootloader too, at least for HOX since we have no other method to gain permenant root.
You can still receving OTA from HTC if you stayed on stock ROM. However, you will need stock recovery and stock-like ROM(not altering too much likes uninstalling certains system app.. blah~ blah~ blah~) to properly flash the OTA.
I know that there is a way to root the HOX without unlocking the bootloader or flashing a different recovery, the problem I have is that my device seems to have some kind of a patch thats preventing the root exploit to work.
Are you saying I can't root my device unless I'll use HTCDev? Because I don't think its true...
I don't want to mess with custom ROMs right now as my phone is still under warranty and I would hate it to be void, I know I can go back (ie unroot and flash stock recovery) I just don't want to mess with it right now.
I use to do it with my good old Desire (flashed it like a 1000 times) and right now I want to use the stock ROM.
Does anyone has an idea of how I can get simple root permission?
You cannot root with a locked bootloader on the HOX. Simply not possible. But feel free to waste your time trying.
Your in the wrong forum, this is for the tegra3 one x. We can't root without unlocking via htcdev.

Well I won't be waisting my time, If you're saying its not possible then I guess its not.
Do I have to use the HTCDev first to unlock it? I'm sure HTC keeps a list of devices that has been unlocked using their website. Then if one of them devices will be sent back for repairs they will say the warranty has been void....
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader and root the phone without using HTCDev, then lock it again and keep the root permissions?

Mine is the Tegra3 One X...I read that there is a oneclick tool to root any HTC and I tried it on mine, I get a message that the phone has been patched so the root process failed. Why does it matter if the its the Tegra3 CPU or Snapdragon S4 ? I mean root wise?
Thanks guys !

So, I love my one x and always had my desire z rooted, used it for many things and always loved the freedom.
Now, for example I kinda miss the functions I do not have un rooted, but what are the advantaged of being NOT rooted?
For example: if you rooted can you later still unroot?
Also: if rooted, and gone back to stock..could you still receive OTA updates, or will they not receive?
Some explanation and hints would be very appticiated, regards .

there is no advantage of being non rooted the advantages comes only if you're rooted imo.
if you root then you can go back to stock and get OTAs too

i would suggest you to install OrdroidX...
Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
Relock your bootloader using the commend 'fastboot oem lock'.
Go into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'.
Flash the new firmware using the commend 'fastboot flash zip firmware.zip'.
On first time running the commend you will see FAILED, don't panic and just run the commend again.
Reunlock your bootloader via HTCDev.
Flash custom recovery using the commend 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
Download boot.img and flash it using the commend ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
Use the commend 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
Go into recovery and install the ROM.
Reboot your device and enjoy from JB!
Sorry, that wasn't really clear at all for me, I'm only used to s off, could you link me to a detailed guide?

That guide is for EVITA.
Does your bootloader day EVITA or ENDEAVORU?
This forum is for ENDEAVORU.
With ENDEAVORU, you can unroot and unlock, but bootloader will say relocked, not locked. There may be warranty implications to that.

Mh, is there any way to root without that?
Cause I basically do not want to install any custom roms or so, just want to get root again.
And thanks for noticing, my boot loader says :
Endeavoru
I want to gain root, but not flash any custom roms or so, and when the update (official) is available I would like to un-root and update to that.
And don't want any warranty issues .

Technically, if you just unlock and root, HTC would have a hard time proving you caused a problem and should honour the warranty.
In real life, a manufacturers warranty is barely worth the paper it's written on, it's barely legally binding.
However, that's why we have consumer protection laws in much of the world.
So it depends on where you bought it, and whether you can rely on consumer protection laws.
To unlock (so that you can root) go to htcdev.com, but it "may" invalidate the warranty. It cannot, however, affect your statutary rights.

It probably won't take long before the Jelly Bean update arrive, HTC is almost finished they said them self's, so is it really worth this one week?

Jelly Bean doesn't give you root.
There are lots of reasons to want root (titanium backup, for one) and it's not just to install another ROM.
I was giving the answer (and other relevant information) to the question, not speculating on why the question was asked.
I haven't unlocked mine yet.

Yes, so far we're up to 1.33.
But I don't get your point.
Is there a reason you want root, other than to be able to run apps that require root?

simple
restore the Nandroid from TWRP .. then Flash the Boot.img and Recovery.img then relock bootloader
you can do all that with : fastboot oem lock
or use this tool : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686
PS: bootloader can only be "re-locked" it can never be made to show "locked" at least for now !
thanx bro it worked now i can claim for warranty
No you can't ....it shows relocked not locked
but bootloader is locked then why???
It's relocked. Not officially locked.
I believe it just saves everything from being overwritten or something, but as far as I know with this stuff, you can't get it to be locked like when you first got it.
