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??

Digging up an year old thread isn't that useful. The user might have unlocked the device or Ditched it by this time...

There is no free solution yet, you need to pay for an unlock code

Sorry but this isn't correct. You can't unlock it by flashing a Ruu. I you need to buy unlock code or use a xtc clip at present.

I had my Wildfire unlocked using revolutionary method... Previously I was locked to Orange UK.. I just flashed the RUU (Asia India) from shipped roms first; then I used the revolutionary tool - AlphaRevX.... Only issue I had was no mobile network.. I flashed the latest radio img for wildfire using fastboot... I never bought or used an unlock code from anyone...

Are you sure it was locked in the first place?
The cid is hidden away in a partition we can't get to, I don't think revolutionary changes the cid because if it did the alpharev team would know about it and it would have been mentioned before, an ruu flashes original software which is also most probably locked as the carriers would complain to google for making such a simple way to unlock there phones.

Yup I'm damn sure Myhtc was locked... I tried using other operator's sim cards..

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.

That is what I read earlier from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25847782&postcount=1404
So I want to return my phone to stock I had the rcmix3d but now I have the standard 2.3.5 sense 3.0 which I flashed using the volume down and power. But i think my phone maybe still s off or radio off which may stop me from returning my device to HTC UK because of a hardware fault I just basically want to know how i can make the warrenty not void after rooting it

Um do you want to keep S-OFF or do you want S-ON? And do you want to root it or do a completely unroot?
Edit: you can root it with superoneclick if you already S-OFF.

go to boot loader and find out if it is s-off or not. depending on what you find, and what unlock method you used, go to that unlock thread, and relock it again.
I used ahhk and yes it is s off I want to s on

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...
