Hello everyone,
Now HTC officially offers to unlock bootloader. What does it mean for HTC Desire HD user, do we still need to root our phones in order to install another ROM (for example CyanogenMod) ? Or is it exist another way ?
Thanks you and excuse my english (I'm french :-D)

There's no need to unlock the bootloader. If you use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit, you get S-OFF, Sim Unlock, SuperCID and root. It is easy to revert and leaves no evidence of the phone being rooted. If you unlock it with HTCDev, you will have the legend *UNLOCKED* in your bootloader and will void warranty.
If you want to root, then try this (this is the only game in town):

Hi guys, I'm new to the HTC One X (Tegra 3 Version). I wish to root my device without unlocking the BootLoader, for warranty purposes. Is this possible? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm kinda new.
Oh, and another question, when/if the One X finally get S-OFF will that be able to remove the BootLoader 'Tamper Flag' (The thing that says Locked, Unlocked or Re-locked)
Thankyou for taking the time to read this.
No it can't be done without S-OFF
for now exists only temp root, which might cause problems, and the limit of this way is that on reboot you lose it.
only way for now is unlocking bl with htcdev and then you can root and install custom roms etc. etc..
or wait for s-off (can be long waiting as can be short one, nobody know)

No and no.
There are some Chinese websites that can unlock without using htcdev but once you unlock. the phone will know that it has been unlocked.
If you relock. The boot loader will say relocked rather than locked so HTC will know that it has been done. Even if you don't use their tools to do it

I'm trying to unlock my HTC Wildfire (BUZZ) A3333, it's on KoolSony HD ROM (based on CM7) by KoolSavas (it's a great ROM thanks KoolSavas) but when I put the foreign SIM card it doesn't show the unlock code prompt? I have already got the code but it won't show the prompt to unlock the phone!
What should I do? I don't want to flash a different ROM like stock and such, it shouldn't be worth the effort!
Please help me out!

It was SIM unlock. Don't worry I had to flash to a Froyo ROM, I used RemPuzzleROM to unlock it, people if you're going to root it then first unlock it on Froyo then go to CM7. CM7 seems to ignore the SIM unlock prompt but if it's on any Froyo ROM (RemPuzzleROM, Stock etc.) then it should unlock successfully but when I entered it, it just did a Hot Restart (went back to bootanimation) but it seemed to unlock :victory:
