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...

go to boot loader by pressing and holding down volume button and the power button
keep holding until you see the boot menu
in the the top of the screen it will be "Locked" or "Unlocked"

Thank u for all info but for the last post, locked or unlocked is just for the bootloader, s-on or s-off is other thing, is to get access to the whole thing, from the info i got, if u get the s-off u dont need to flash boot.img and u get permanent root access and other stuff.
either way i would like to know if its already possible to switch from s-on to s-off.....
Thanks again

No, there's no way to achieve S-Off if you didn't get it shipped with it.

So that basically means those with S-Off does not void the warranty because you do not unlock the bootloader?
Yes but its near impossible to achieve at the min but we do have to guys workin on it so hopefully soon

S-Off can void warrenty, you can mess-up more then unlocked, because all parts of the memory can be reached. So if you mess-up your phone yourself because it's S-Off, you can loose warrenty.
Hi, everyone.
I have a question to ask you guys. Is it possible to come back to "locked" status after I unlock it? I really need to get this status to be "locked" because I need to go to HTC care to claim my phone and they said that I need to do "locked" before claiming it. What should I do? Help me please. Thanks!
PS. They said status "relocked" can't claim too. Just only "locked" can claim.

Once you "unlock" your phone, you can never have it "lock" as the original. Only "relocked" is the best you can do.

Can only be relocked.. never lock
I have heard and I don't believed everything I hear but as long as phone is exactly back to stock minuse the relock on screen it is not a total void.... since HTC gives out the unlock code them self's it is a loop but if it can be proven that it has been altered it is..... now I'm sure I am wrong and I will try to research this more and post either my verification or my d

What's the difference ? S-on or S-off.....they all can be unlocked.
And s-off or s-on makes no difference to flashing, you need in both ways an unlocked bootloader to flash.

Faux Locked Hboots?
You can truly lock it with soff but you still have soff. I don't think HTC will fall for faux hboots.
