I have a Singapore or Hong Kong market A510e and had to update it to the European ROM before I could update the bootloader, but that was back in January. Hopefully the HTC Asia RUU will work for you.

No need to unlock bootloader. Just go ahead and root it.

Hey! I gave it a try. I successfully ran the HTC Supertool v3 and i got a message ROOTED blinking in different colors After restarting the mobile i just checked the titanium backup tool , but i got an error cannot find root and also i could not find the superuser app installed.
What could have gone wrong ?
Thanks!
may be you can try another way ,first recovery and then root，because you are not unlocked the bootloader you can not use the tools with the ADB command.
I also want to know the hboot and cid of your phone,may be your phone the cid is 11111111,this phone is hard to recovery and root.there is a recovery in attachment，you can have a try.if it is not work I have anyother way. recovery version is 5.028
Hi bro

Hi,
Thanks for the input and apologies for the late reply . I was away all the while.
Tried the recovery suggested by you. It failed and below is the screenshot of the same:
Then went on to use the SD Tool App and found the details. Not sure what my CID is.
A recovery already exists for my phone:
Hope this info helps. Can't wait to hold a rooted WFS. Thanks in advance.

Hey!!
Gave a try to this post :

and magically it worked!
I am now ROOTED! On the TOP of the world now!!!
Thanks for all the help!!
how you already had the recovery？in attachment there is a root.zip you download，and put on the root of the sdcard，and phone boot to recovery，find install zip from sdcard，and then choose zip from sdcard，and find the root zip，and power button.
congratulations
On first boot they will say something like report to HTC. Do not report

Hey, I got this off the Chinese version of our xda-developers site. It seems as they are quite ahead in this department. thought I would share it with you guys. Not my work, all credits go to Cason.
Proven to work.
EDIT: Must Have Unlocked Bootloader!
Steps:
unzip,
put your phone into usb debugging mode,
connet to computer
double click install-root.bat
anyone tested this yet?
It just flashed a unsecure boot.img...

I get "failed (remote not allowed) error'
doesn't this do what we already have for an unlocked bootloader?
Bootloader must be unlocked to use this method !!!
1.29 one click root, no bootloader unlcioking.
Does any one know of a one click root method for the 1.29 version yet where we don't have to unlock the bootloader? I'm stuck in the mud so to speak.

I could be wrong and i'm sure some will tell me if I am but, I think we need S-Off before we can even start to into 1 click root without using HTC dev.

So if I unlock the bootloader via HTCdev. I could just use a standard root method?
Heres my issue. I have the internatinal X with 1.29 and want to root
Can you tell me my options? I know the pros and cons of rooting and I know the theory behind it. This is just my first try and want to get it right. I'm looking for a fool proof method!
Thankyou so much if you can help

Well this this my first time rooting a device. It's my first big boys phone and I get the pros and cons of root and unlocked bootloader. Just because it's my first time im scared.
So if I unlock my boot loader I can root (what method? Can you point me in the right direction please?) and keep stock ICS for a while then update ROM when I feel fit?
One main warning if you unlock your bootloader with HTCDev your warranty is basically void.
Can i unroot my phone for warranty purposes,and then root it again ?

UNROOT-ginger unroot(google it) you will get it..!
ROOT- superone click or recovery+super su

Is it possible to make it S-ON again after unrooting? I still have the XTC Clip I used for S-OFF.

But does this program flash my original stock recovery ?
Anyone?
I think you can S-ON with xtc-clip and try extracting stock rom from RUU. Then normally flash it in recovery or through SD card. This works on recovery too. Try find some tut on xda.

Temp root seems to be failing. That is usually due to a bad download and Antivirus or other soft eating the Zergrush file (used to temp root). check that in the tools/bin folder of the hack kit you have a file called zergrush. If that is not there, make sure that u disable all the protection software and then re download the Kit.

Main version issue is due to temp root failing...so, or your phone is messed or the Hack Kit download is flaw. Check that in the Tools>bin folder you find the zergrush file.

You need to unlock your bootloader and flash it in fastboot. Then relock the bootloader and run the Hack Kit. Do you know how to do that?
Yes I can on lock it in 2mins I got that down. But that's it. I don't know the rest.

Hmm, i already said all this to OP when he sent me a pm couple days ago. I give up..
the rom upgrade doesnt seem to install, it says its not meant to be flashed and may have to be done from bootloader??
