Hi,
Since the HTC One X doesn't have this type of section, this is for the XDA members who can crack a joke without the die hard unfun members getting upset 'coz their too serious. Other Forum Sections has this like the Samsung Galaxy SII so I thought we can open one up for our lovely community.
The rules are no swearing or inappropriate comments, or the moderator may end this thread.
Statements that you think are funny or good NEED to THANKED
So this thread is basically about things when 'you know when your rooted' tagline at the front and then your ending... Here's my example(s)
You Know When Your Rooted when you feel emotion when your newly flashed Rom has a little vibrate while booting up
*YKWYR when you have to flash boot.img to get your ROM working
*YKWYR when you have to boot in Bootloader to get to recovery.
Have Fun Bro's, looking forward to your taglines
*YKWYR - Abbreviation for You Know When Your Rooted

You know your rooted when you ask the CM Devs an ETA.

you know you are rooted when you have the xda app on your homescreen
You know your rooted when you send your HOX off for a warranty repair and get charged for it.

You know you're rooted when someone tries to call you but you're unavailable, and when they try again after some minutes you answer "Oh yes, sorry, was on the recovery"
You know you're rooted when you lose an important SMS fullwiping for a fresh flash, and realize that only when you would have needed that SMS, days later
You know you re rooted ,when suddenly ,pushing power button doesn't wake your device ,and you now have to pull the battery but there's no access to the battery .......
Time to change a Rom

you know when you are rooted when your heart misses several beats while your screen goes from the Htc quietly brilliant screen to the actual rom loading.
Htc One X quad core
Viper rom
Brick kernel
My role in life since rooting is to rub the power of Android into Iphone users faces
YKWYR when you tell your friends you will start the movie in 5 min, "I'm just going to flash a new rom". Halfway into to the movie you asks whats happend...
YKWYR when you say I'll be in bed in five minutes, next moring going to bed when others is getting up because you ran in to a little problem
You know your're rooted when your phone goes from 60% to 0% and refuses to turn on, 5 minutes before you need to go to bed.
(that was a scary, scary night)
you know when you are rooted when the OP does not search to see that there is already a thread regarding this topic already

The devs need to do two things : 1. to find a way to get the root privilege so 2. to turn off write-protection of the internal sd so flashing the CWM recovery image and custom roms is possible.
There used to be one or some kernel vulnerabilities to achieve these. They found some methods to get a root privilege and also forced the Linux kernel to load a kernel module to turn off write protection. Now these wouldn't work any more as the stock update fixed these security issues.
The scenario for iOS is the same too. IPad2 jailbreaking is nowhere to see either. It is a different issue, but the morale behind these is if the vendors don't support JB in iOS or rooting in Android , the future of JB or Rooting may be gloomy.
Though HTC announced its hboot unlocking, I still doubt if write-protection can be turned off. My next Android phone could be Nexus series, 'cos Google Phone was/is/will be always open, if Google doesn't change the policy.

Hi guys, my desire has been rooted and was running fruit burst. Every now and then it would crash leaving the "HTC quietly brilliant" permanently on, which to get round i just removed the battery and turn back on (i could live with that).
Any way this afternoon i was just using it as normal, put it back in my pocket and thought nothing of it. Got it back out and it was switched off. Switched it back on and it comes up with the white screen with the green HTC writing, the just keeps doing that over and over again.
Any ideas?
Nope, this problem is completely unfixable and has not been fixed multiple times, and there is no listed guides that can help you due to it's complication. You now need to defenestrate your phone and acquire a new one.
Hahahahahahaha

There's a guided STICKIED on the Q&A forum which fixed this problem almost directly. Not only that, it is now also linked on this thread (twice). Not to mention, this works wonders..
There could be a number of reasons why that is happening:
1) sd card has broke
2) stuck in a bootloop (run adb logcat).
Can you access recovery/hboot?

Use AOSP ROMs for better battery life and performance. Try CM7 and see if it improves.

lol.
you are the guy who did knew about rooting and stuff..
1. rom = OS a.k.a android
2. cwm = is the name of a custom recovery
3. you've just answered yourself at number 2 with this.
4. the best developers gathered under one roof which is called Cyanogenmod. They make Android OS'es. Search on google, they have a website.
5. Kernel is like the motor of the OS. Without it, the rom will not start.
6. stock means default. if it refers to stock rom it means the OS that came with your phone untouched by you in any way.
7. nandroid backup performs a backup as per the name, of your current rom.
Quick reply.
1. A ROM is the operating system of your phone... Like windows xp is to a computer. you can change this and try different ones.
2 & 3. Is a Recovery from there you can do functions that are necessary to flash ROMs Kernels and even backup your phone
4. A ROM made from the released source code from google... All Vanilla which means that it doesnt have the HTC overlay.
5. A Kernel is the underlying software that communicates with the hardware of the phone in this case
6. Stock means that it has not been modified.
7. A Nandroid is a function that is incorporated into the Recovery it allows you to backup the system in your phone so you have the possibility of recovering it at some other time.
You have a lot of reading to do... The learning curve is steep; start climbing

As to the antennas, the body is metal so they have to put the antennas behind the plastic parts so that the radio signals can get through. The only solution is to change your grip so that you don't cover the bottom of the phone.

You should go root, update, and flash a custom ROM. From my experience, my One X is my first super phone after jumping over from a crappy Nokia phone.
The first day when I got my phone, I got all excited with playing around it. I've been reading lots of stuff here on XDA. It was very tempting to root in on day one, but I managed to let it stay. But immediately, the day after, I risked it all and tried to root it, even if I don't have any experiece or background on handling an Android device.
All the hardwork payed off and just this morning, I updated my phone to ARHD 7.2.0 on stock kernel. Everything feels better right now than what I had on day 1.
But in the end, it is still your choice if you want to hack your phone or not. But trust me, it's worth it.

Totally agree. I've had Android for a while now and my first few I kept stock for that reason, the OTA updates. Kept my Hero and Desire on stock. I then got a DHD and now have a One X and both of these I rooted and flashed custom ROMs and can honestly say was best decision I made. There are spme quality ROMs and developers in this community. As long as you do your research you shouldn't find it too hard, theres very good guides on here. I am also running ARHD 'cause I like the stock look but its so much smoother and quicker. Most devs are also very good at keeping up with the official updates too (If not quicker in many cases.).
Like monchee said its your choice, but personally I don't think I could have a device now without root and custom ROM!
Hope this helps

You need to unlock bootloader to get root too.
I would suggest waiting at least a couple of weeks to see if you have any defects as HTC are refusing to repair unlocked phones in many instances.

Never. If it comes out I'll hear about it anyway. And I'm on a carrier anyway so another delay. A delay for the crappy UI and a delay for the crappy carrier branding.
