S-off

What is the disadvantage having s-on. If we can still root what is the problem. Why exactly do we need s-off

It give us unlimited permission to modify the system partition etc. changing Boot screen etc.

There is a detailed thread that's right at top of the general forum that covers this in depth.

It also allows direct access to all partitions on the phone so we can learn a lot more about it. Will be able to flash boot.img via recovery with the rom (no need for fastboot flash), we can flash modified hboot/bootloader if we wish to as well. Plenty of possibilities.
None of this is possible with s-on, even if you are htcdev unlocked.

Failed to manually update to 1.29.401.7

I’ve tried to manually update 1.29.401.7 on locked One X in south africa with cid htc_016 which is on the list, but once I select Recovery it comes up with the hard drive and 2 green arrows on it, then after a couple seconds it has a picture of the phone with a red triangle and an explanation mark in the middle. Can any one help?

You can't flash it manually, you have to wait for the file

Doesn't work as the phone can't mount the /sdcard in stock recovery. Believe me, I've tried and I'm not a n00b when it comes to flashing OTA files

Why it cannot work? I don't understand. Is there any method to get this work?

So how can I get it work? I got the notification, but the update failed as well.

Same problem here,i tryed to relock my bootloader,installed the stock recovery and still nothing.

i have same problem

Probably need to run the RUU instead...

And how do we do that?

Lets find out which hints custom roms leave on an One X

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

I think we also should compare misc partition before and after flashing custom roms / kernels?

PrimoU is the codename for the ONE V
PrimoC is the codename for the US version of the One V

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?

1 unlock the bootloader ->correct.
2 flash cmw Rom -> recovery, not rom but correct
3 install superuser-> via the newly flashed recovery
Only???

That is all needed for the root.

I need to be a ***** on this one!
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

Simunlock is a different story than rooting and running a custom rom.
Some say they got a simunlock code from eBay

My heads hurting from all the reading lol seems a bit more difficult than the desire , in my kernal version it says root in it does that mean it has been rooted before ? And I don't need to s off one x ?

What's difficult? It's just as any HTC phone...Only thing different is, you need to flash the img file via fastboot because HOX is S-ON and there's no method to S-OFF it ATM! Only HTC can do it for you!
1. Unlock bootloader via htcdev.com
2. flash custom recovery via fastboot
3. Flash SuperSU.zip via recovery
Done! Your rooted!

How can I make sure I'm in the right forum which one x I have ? cheers

Press Power Button + Volume down button till you get into bootloader screen... See what is written on the 2-3rd line?
IF it says "Endeavoru" then you have the International one and your in the Correct forum!
If it says "evita" or "evitaire" it means you have One XL or the One X+
