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.

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.

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.

Hi there,
i read a lot about the waranty issues with HTC on an unlocked One x, so i contacted HTC and after some uninformed Support Writers i reached one of the Support Head Officers, he told me that the basic unlocking process doesn't void waranty, even if you root to use something like titanium. So, but many people around here write that HTC won't repair their devices under waranty (eeven when they restored their device with a RUU) so i think there are some hints in the device that the ruu didn't erase so that HTC sees that you installed a custom rom /recovery and so on. Someone in the S-Off dev thread said that there are some hints on the cache partition. So i think we should collect here all findings that HTC could use to prevent waranty.
Hint 1:
as N1ikon states here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25847782&postcount=1404
on cache partition is a folder with logs
maybe there are fastboot logs on the hboot partition?
So we would need someone with s-off ti habe a look in hboot after flashing a custom rom
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
But wouldn't that mean that recovery (even custom) gor write permission to hboot
Maybe that's the reason we can only flash boot through fastboot. To leave a sign for HTC
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Maybe the fact that it says "tampered" in hboot..? Flashing boot through hboot is how it is for EVERY HTC device that doesn't have s-off

hi I hav unlocked my bootloader using htcdev method but now how can I achieve s - off?
what if I use xtc clip now? can I get an s - off??
Sent from my Wildfire S using XDA
If you're gsm [have a sim] yep; however, its much less reversable at this point in time and you probably can accomplish just about anything you need with the bootloader unlocked... So weigh your options

well the reason is that for using that desire c rom (after port) heard we may need s off ... that's y anyway I'm gonna wait n decide. so there isn't any provision for changing hboot getting back warranty yet for s off users??

PrimoU is the codename for the ONE V
PrimoC is the codename for the US version of the One V
Sorry for asking you every 2 minutes a question but lots of people commented that it didn't work for them and there are lots of things I didn't understand like uur and hboot and fastboot and flashing and lots of other things because I'm new to android and I'm scared to do something wrong and brick my device so could you please help me because I'm really want to root my device but feared of bricking it and doing something wrong

search for the software version at the OS, settings -> phone setting -> software
Given your data (Lebanon) it will be Primo U, but better to be sure.
Sorry, at settings->about->software information. There is the software number which is needed
Sorry, but I will ask, if you are new to android why root? It is not really needed if you just use the phone like average.

The software is for the WWE Asia Primo U so you can go according to the link Lloir gave you.
First a registration at htc-dev, and then there will be steb-by-step walktrough to unlock the bootloader. If you have unlocked it (all data will be erased) then it could be rooted, or you can go easy and use the One V all-in one tool which can remove some work from your soulders, but I don't really think that it will be wise at a beginner level to attain the root.
Also if you watched carefully if you unlock the bootloader (which is needed for root) you have voided your warranty.

Then you must have used adb, so you are accustomed to command line. In HTC because of some limitations for the users, fastboot is needed to flash things, if you have acchieved the unlocked BL.
For root you only need to do basic things with the all-in-one tool, and you will have cwm to install the supersu. it is not that hard.
I told you I'm not a beginner I was just saying that but the things I don't know are flashing roms but the I know the bootloader unlocking process

if you have unlocked and has cwm you are on the go. You can (not must) flash any custom rom that is available. Only difference in htc is that first you go into bootloader, then from there to recovery, not to recovery first. fastboot is basicly a tiny app, that is capable to flash the primo's memory directly with command line syntax when is fastboot mode (you can call it flash mode basicly).
Ok I got you I conclude that the things I should do are
1 unlock the bootloader
2 flash cmw Rom
3 install superuser
Only???
Or is there anything else?

3 install superuser-> via the newly flashed recovery

That is all needed for the root.

Nice apps?
Dude, few posts ahead you've told Lloir that you need some help on rooting because you don't know what's a bootloader. After that you've told everyone that you know what a bootloader is and you are not new to android, rooting or any other specifical part of this process.
Now after you rooted your device, you ask "what are the nice apps that I can download??" ?
Are you serious?!
Get your act together.
Yeah so what I don't mean the basic apps I mean other apps that allow you to take more controll of your phone

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...
