hi i have installed bootloader in my htc one x . i have rooted my htc one x also can anyone say what is the use of rooting ?
You can install custom ROM which you like which are available in forum under android original development.
FYI. I am running jelly bean in my hox (cm 9 preview)

The funny thing is that you unlocked your bootloader and voided the warranty and you don't for what?!
Some apps require root. Im not sure why you unlocked your bootloader because you dont seem to need root and like someone said above you have voided your warranty.

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.

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...

how to say them that you are a dev?
I rooted my HOX yesterday and am wondering if it would be safe to use the OTA update to 2.2 as long as I use the protections like OTA Rootkeeper and Supersu etc? I hear people say root and the new update don't mix at all, so I would like the info on whether or not I have to put up with the ATT message every day or upgrade to the awesome 2.2

You cannot update OTA if you are rooted as you would have installed Clockwork Recovery. OTA requires stock recovery to work.
Go to the One XL forum if you have a One XL (which you do).
It's the One X, I promise. I don't know anything about recovery, but it still sends me update notices
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
No, I can assure you, it isn't.
Two reasons; the One X is not available on AT&T (despite what they call it), and there is no 2.2 update for the One X.
Explain that then please. I used the root for the 1.85 HTC One X and it worked, and in the same thread they said the OTA update ATT is trying to push was the 2.2 which had no way to root yet. It's a new phone for me so I want to learn what I can and can't do yet
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Explain? Again you're ONE XL..
Look at the 4G LTE Icon.. It is XL like benpope toldyou.
"root for the 1.85 HTC One X", again because youre on XL not X. There is no rooting on One X currently unless official bootloader unlock AND One X have no 1.85 version numbers.
Alright, no need for feisty, just trying to learn about my device. I do have root though, ig I'll settle for that
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Well, let the 2.2 update go through and lost my root access...whatever phone I do have, not even Supersu or ota rootkeeper saved my root.

Hi,
It's not possible to gain warranty or updates, once you are unlocked and rooted the device. Even if you re-lock it.
Why do you need that when you have plenty of options to explore the device?
I've flashed CM9 Alpha 7, works great and it's really far from the stock.
So once unlocked and rooted you will never get a ota

Guys,are you really sure for this informations ?:laugh:

I'm sure. Until I know, no one claimed warranty or OTA updates after Re-locked and Un-rooted the device.
Does anyone has a way or rooting a HTC One X running JB without unlocking its bootloader?
Not possible
only possible if ur device is s-off.

I know that,.but it's unlikely to have one so that's why i didn't mentioned it !
I'm surprised you knew that, given that you thought it might be possible to root your phone without unlocking the bootloader! You need an unlocked bootloader to flash a pre-rooted custom rom.
