Hi All,
are anyone looking into temproot for HOX??
i would like to not unlock the bootloader as i dont keep any phone for very long
So everyone unlocked the device and not interested in warranty ?
Sad , I can't root without voiding warranty and can't unlock due to frequent change addiction :banghead:

Have you tried Visionary? I don't if it works for One X but it does for HTC Legend.

I am in a dilemma with my one x, whether to wait until s-off is here or to unlock the mobile through htcdev.com!
But I am thinking about the warranty, I read that flashing the original RUU will revert the phone to the original state. I am from India, So I think I need the RUU with version 1.26.720.2
Please give me some suggestions!
I also very much want to know the answer to this.
Please vote your wish.
Can't resist to flash the latest custom roms, especially leedroid's

What's the difference? I unlocked on htcdev.com
When you unlock through htcdev.com there were some drawbacks regarding warranty. But when you unlock using s-off you can easily bring your mobile to factory state for warranty.
Can some one post how exactly we can claim for warranty when we unlock through htcdev.com?
I can't avoid all the features which will work only with rooting. So finally I had unlocked my mobile through htcdev.com
I'd say wait 1 week before you do it, perhaps next week there is already a way to do it ^^. (That warranty is lost forever, so I wouldn't do it impulsively).
Offtopic : you really have a giant signature OP ;-)!
I still waiting for S-Off. As if now I don't need rooted device since i'm enjoying the stock apps and stock ROM. Once i'm tired then I may unlocked.
Im awaiting s-off just for warranty reasons
Mod or Die
I'm torn. I need root to make several things work in Norway....
I am new with htc.i came from Samsung. I am just saying in samsung when u wanted to go back in original mode u just used official roms and boom u were in warranty. Isnt that the same with htc? i just used htcdev method to remove some craps from 3 network but i am sure i could go back to warranty using an RUU.
And as i spoke for RUU is there any topic gathering all the RUU's? Where can i found them?
Normally flash straight away but had it 3 weeks and still resiited so far waiting for s off

Just search the topic until you find a functional link.
personally I want S-OFF via htc dev. If they are going to try and void the warranty because the software is being messed with anyway why not give me full access.
i unlocked my phone but i got insurance from my carrier, so should i break it my phone might by accident get a knock out of my hand and over the viaduct lol
but I'm a lucky one and got a flawless HOX so i have no need to return it
It would've been nice to migrate app data from my desire HD to my HOX using titanium, but I guess that won't be possible.

As much as i get tempted to go through htcdev i'm going to hang on, especially now i got a 1.28 update through Three UK. There are some seriously clever devs here so i'm sure sooner or later an S-OFF will come.

What app data do you want to migrate? I only brought my SMS and Bookmarks across with me, using SMS BackupPro and Bookmarks to SD. Don't game a lot, so that was never important...
I am waiting for S-Off. I am actually really happy how my phone works in stock form and sometimes custom ROMs can have one little bug or another, so you are constantly flashing, chasing that perfect and stable ROM.
I will likely want to install custom soon, so if there is no S-Off by mid-year, maybe I'll just go with HTCDev.
I'm wanting S-Off rather than using HTCdev as from following the S-Off Dev thread in here the changing of CID to none rather than the stock HTC CID could hinder going S-Off in the future even with a relock. I also don't feel the need to go Custom ROMing while unbranded handsets are getting things updated by HTC.
I'll wait for a couple of weeks post Kernel source release then make my mind up.
Really difficult coming from.my ENG S-Off Desire HD though.

Hi, Im planning to modify /etc/hosts,
Is there any way to do this without S-OFF / HTCDev ?
Thanks,
S-off it is not possible in HOX for now.

Yeah...follow any one of the many guides on rooting the One X. We don't have S-OFF. Did you read anything before asking this question?

the one (unlock) they done via htcdev.com is not S-OFF ?
EDIT:
My bad... S-OFF is not unlock,
Allow me to change the question,
Is that possible to gain temporary-root without having through htcdev.com ?

It's not possible at the moment.
How about TacoRoot ? Anyone try ?
I know this works on my oldie stock/factory desire,
and TacoRoot claims to be "HTC Universal Root Exploit 12-30-2011"

i found this but haven't tried it just read the post
If they worked on the One X we would know by now. The One X has been around for a few weeks and to date there is no way to get S-OFF.

the OP isn't after s-off, just root/unlock without going though HTCdev site.

He's welcome to try any tool he sees but I am not game especially if there's a risk of bricking the phone.
PS:
The utility is for a wildfire S CDMA, makes me more cautious using it.
My phone is on Hboot 1.31 and I'm using the cyanogen 10 rom. I'd like to install the latest Jelly Bean OTA RUU from htcruu.com.
Will I be able to install this even though I'm on Hboot 1.31 without any problems? Can I just run the exe and be done with it?
http://www.htcruu.com/Endeavor/RUU_...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
I have checked that my htc version should work with the RUU.
Thanks
Chris
Yes that will work just fine. It will update the hboot too.

Will it un-root it?

Thanks.
Will it un-root my device and make it look like it's never been touched?
My HTC One X has recently suffered some kind of major battery/over-heating problem which means it now shuts down when being used intensively for a short period, and it also won't charge over 60%. I need to send it back to HTC (I'm still in warranty) but I know they won't touch it if they think I've voided the warranty.

No, nothing can "un-root" your device if you don't have S-OFF. And even if you did, they would know that you unlocked your bootloader because you did it at HTCdev.

That's right. Unfortunately the only bootloader unlock method for the One X is via HTCdev, which voids your warranty. Even if you run an RUU and return to stock, the bootloader will display 'RELOCKED' at the top. Phones like my HTC Desire HD have other bootloader unlock methods with full S-OFF, and returning to stock will bring it to an untouched state that doesn't void warranty. This isn't possible on One X.
The answers here are correct except for the unrooting part, it will unroot the rom because you will go back to stock JB
Hey,
Just got my new HTC One on T-Mobile! I love sense and everything, but I miss my root tweaks. I'm just curious if there is a safe way to unlock the bootloader without using or interacting with HTC Dev? I don't want to risk losing my warranty on the 6-month cracked screen thing.

HTC Dev is the only way, Unless your device is S-OFF
Sorry, but didn't I just read there is a method here somewhere where you can get s-off without buying an s-off'd device?

Yes. But you need to be rooted for it and for that you need to HTC dev unlock. Only the Verizon model can be rooted without HTC dev unlock.

And the only way for s-off is to either get a Dev or GPE model, or win the lottery and your device is s-off'd out of the box for some strange reason? Won't firewater give you s-off without going begging to mama HTC for the freedom to use your $700 device as you wish? I'm confused what firewater does.

Nilay Patel is correct in saying the US carriers are destroying the market, but lucky VZW users. Thanks for clarifying that.
ok guys am no noob too rooting android phones but are there any scripts or apps that have been tried and tested on the m8 that have the possibility to either temp root a phone or that can remove root when root access is not needed the reason am asking is because i have a contract m8 which means if my phone is rooted and i go to get warranty or insurance claim i will be denied this due too rooting affects the warranty of the phone
There is a temproot method, but inks works with Verizon...second you can always unroot the phone or better the Rom u use...but you have to unlock boot loader...some devices can get s-off with Firewater...if you really now what Firewater etc are just search in Google for Firewater HTC one m8..if you don't know about s-off etc please read a few guides so you can be sure to do all right...also if you s-offed your phone you will be able to remove the unlocked boot loader and set it to locked....so if you have to send it back they won't notice any things related to rooting if you doesnt made some mistakes
