You can't root without unlocking the boot loader. And check the sticky thread in the general thread by ckpv5 for rooting.

Same problem, with no solution
(maporcapupazza, se penso a tutte le rom che ho cambiato sull'hd... )
I've updated to froyo 2.2 by OTA and used unrEVOked 3.21 to root. Didn't get any issue at all. Just one click and then sit back until it finishes. Maybe you can also try out Universal Androot
btw, I'm still using stock ROM....as for now

Are you using the latest version of unrevoked v3.21? Should fix that kind of error i think..Redownload the last version from the unrevoked web site..
Doubt
Hi,
I'm using stock rom with my Desire.
If I make this operation with Unrevoked all the data will be lost or all the applications will stay installed in the phone?
I saw that HTC Sync must be uninstalled in PC, it's necessary another drivers?
Thanks

S-On is a security feuture that HTC implemented to allow people to find their lost or stolen phone online. It is S-on by default and they(the awesome people on xda) are still working on a s-off solution.
You can still flash roms with S-on but you need your bootloader unlocked(Every One X has a locked bootloader). There is a noob friendly guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592355 on how to do so.
The best rom will depend on your own taste. The sense roms are the least buggy and because they have source code for that. Roms like Charmelean, Leedroid, ARHD and so on. You'll see they are sense roms.
On your nr.5, everything you need to know is on the link 2 paragraphs up.
Hope you manage and wellcome to xda and one X, you'll love it here.

Dude!!! S-off or s-on has absolutely nothing to do with finding your phone! Stop bsing. It's a security feature that HTC implemented to lock certain parts of the system. If you have s-off it means full root.

To root or not to root

Here is the story for the past 4 four i owned 2 android devices, the galaxy ace and the galaxy nexus both of wich had easy rooting.and flashing, but on this device the flashing is a bit harder. So is it worth it to root ?
Sent from my HTC One X
Yes it is.
Yes it is.
I bought my One X as a replacement for my Arc thinking I wouldn't need to mod it in anyway and run it as stock, due to the Mrs giving me grief about the amount of time I spent flashing/modding my arc. Resisted rooting for 5 hours and haven't looked back. Worth rooting even just for an ad-free device.
One of the first things I do is root and remove bloatware. Well worth it.
Do it well worth it. Btw I think we all get the grief from the missus about our close relationships with our phones and modding lol

But if sense 5 arrives (hopefully) can i go back to stock ? And can someone give a guide to help me start up ?

Use this to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439
Before you root, make a backup in recovery, when you wanna go back to stock you just need to restore it. It's advisable to copy the backup to your pc for maximum security. (It's in /sdcard/clockworkmod) If you wanna do ota, remember to flash back stock recovery also.

No prob
It is possible that you lose some stuff.
First of all, dl an app called carbon. It will let you backup your apps without root. If you wanna back up sms, etc. There's an app for that, just search.
Then connect your hox to a pc and copy ALL the files from your sdcard to your pc.
Now you should be safe to continue.
I never lost anything when rooting but better be safe than sorry.

What do you expect it to read? HTC official kernel?
3.1.10 is the Linux kernel version it is based on
g9fb8f80 is some crap I know nothing about
abm030 is the username who compiled the kernel
root means he was a root user during that session
#1 means that it was the first build
smp stands for Symmetric Multi-Processors
preempt stands for PREEMPtable
The kernel is totally stock don't worry :good:

Wrong section for questions.
Try reading existing threads that explain firmware and software and how they're not the same thing... Where to check, etc.
