Hello Am thinking on Rooting my one x, but not sure if I should just yet. I had a desire before this phone witch I rooted and was easy enough to un-root so I could send it back to o2 for repair when speaker broke.
Now If I root my One x and something happens where I need to send back for repair can you easy un-root?
Is the only method to rooting with HTCdev? we still dont have alpharev root yet?
Thanks

Rooting through htcdev invalidates your warranty so you better wait.

There is not any s-off method yet... Only s-on root

S-off would be great seems that little detail makes the world of difference in rooting. I upgraded from the HTC vivid and don't think it as an s-off method yet either and it's been out a while someone correct me if I am wrong.

I have a us cellular htc desire running 2.2 with hboot 1.06. I just got it a couple days ago and have been searching continuiously for a method to root. With the s-on it makes it difficult i assume and searched for methods of making it s-off but havent found anything. Can anyone please let me know of any ways that are known to root if any for this particular hboot. Thank you in advanced.
bump... im really looking for a way to root my us cellular desire as well

You can try to Root the phone with the Visionary APK, but it just gives a half-root, not a full root. Clockwork and AmonRa will not change the Recovery without S-OFF.
Until someone figures out how to set S-ON to S-OFF, we cannot install any ROMs.
I have had my one x for a week now rooted and unlocked via htd.dev just wondering if I can change my s-on to s-off?

There's no way off getting s-off just yet unless I'm mistaken

If you have to ask that question then there is no possible reason why you need S-Off. You already have root access and can flash custom roms - what else are you wanting to do?

Sorry I will search thoroughly for this but if anyone has any useful places to start it would b most appreciated thanks (@ mods couldnt decide between q&a and general went for general.

You can either wait for S-Off or unlock the boot loader with HTC Dev then root your phone. There are guides in the development section of the one x forum.

Unlocking your boot loader via HTCDEV will probably void your warranty.

Wait for s-off , then root , install new kernel and then install new Rom.

As far as I am aware unlocking using Htc dev doesn't automatically void your warranty. As long as any issue with the device after unlocking is 100% hardware error then I think warranty still stands.

Is there a way of unlocking bootloader without using htc dev

Nope unfortunately not.
don't think so. It is the easiest way and also the official way.
But it can void your warranty (not if you are a developper apparently xD)

No.
But you can install a custom ROM or root the phone without unlocking the bootloader if you can turn off the security check placed on the NAND storage (i.e S-ON). So far devs have not been able to turn off security (i.e S-OFF) on One X, but it will happen eventually. Till then you’ll have to unlock and potentially void your warranty to root or install a custom ROM.
I've rooted all my previous phones but this time I'm waiting for soff.
Am I right in thinking that when soff is released you can unlock your bootloader without htc dev?

With S-Off you don't need to unlock the bootloader to root or install custom ROMs. That is one of the advantages, no bootloader unlock = no warranty issues. I waited for over a month monitoring S-Off development, but it wasn't really going anywhere. Tired of waiting, I just went ahead and unlocked the bootloader.
It took over a year for some HTC devices (i.e Desire) to gain S-Off, so you never know how long it'll take. But hopefully it'll happen soon...

Hey guys.. i find it hard to root my htc wildfire since almost all of the requirements i have to download are missing, some of them have broken links, so i ask you guys if anyone of you managed to have root and unlocked bootloader using this HTC Quick Root?

What an interesting find! I have never heard of that tool before. assuming that its exploit tool works on mtd devices it may be able to give you root access but I'm not sure about recovery or flashing kernels. Give it a go though and see what happens also, if you let me know which guide you were trying to follow first I can go on the hunt for you and find the required downloads. :beer:

I'll try first the HTC quick root and report back here if it worked or not. So none of you guys here gained root using the tool? I guess it's because the wildfire is older than this tool? and all of you have successfully rooted by using unrevoked and/or revolutionary before this tool arrived..

Pretty much a lot of people here have issues with the more upgraded hboots and not really knowing what the htcdev hboot can do
