Does unlocking the bootloader, installing CWM or installing CM7 root the device??
Can I do all of this without rooting??
I ask because I use Good for enterprise email that doesn't function on rooted devices but still want to install CM7

right. and installing cwm and afterwards cm7 needs at least unlocked bootloader, when you are S-OFF
Hey, I got this off the Chinese version of our xda-developers site. It seems as they are quite ahead in this department. thought I would share it with you guys. Not my work, all credits go to Cason.
Proven to work.
EDIT: Must Have Unlocked Bootloader!
Steps:
unzip,
put your phone into usb debugging mode,
connet to computer
double click install-root.bat
anyone tested this yet?
It just flashed a unsecure boot.img...

I get "failed (remote not allowed) error'
doesn't this do what we already have for an unlocked bootloader?
Bootloader must be unlocked to use this method !!!
1.29 one click root, no bootloader unlcioking.
Does any one know of a one click root method for the 1.29 version yet where we don't have to unlock the bootloader? I'm stuck in the mud so to speak.

I could be wrong and i'm sure some will tell me if I am but, I think we need S-Off before we can even start to into 1 click root without using HTC dev.

So if I unlock the bootloader via HTCdev. I could just use a standard root method?
Heres my issue. I have the internatinal X with 1.29 and want to root
Can you tell me my options? I know the pros and cons of rooting and I know the theory behind it. This is just my first try and want to get it right. I'm looking for a fool proof method!
Thankyou so much if you can help

Well this this my first time rooting a device. It's my first big boys phone and I get the pros and cons of root and unlocked bootloader. Just because it's my first time im scared.
So if I unlock my boot loader I can root (what method? Can you point me in the right direction please?) and keep stock ICS for a while then update ROM when I feel fit?
One main warning if you unlock your bootloader with HTCDev your warranty is basically void.
I'm curious on how difficult it is to fix a ROM to run on stock kernel? Does anybody know of a good tutorial? I love my ion but unfortunately can't unlock the bootloader which leaves me with a stock kernel

Sorry but you can´t install any rom with a custom kernel , roms with original kernel only like this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463579

It's because you have a carrier locked Xperia S. The above method wont work with it, also if you have the SIM unlock code the bootloader wont unlock. Do one thing,mail your carrier and sony asking if unlocking bootloader is possible.
BTW you can still root your device and install custom ROMs just search the forum.
Recently picked up my Bell one and noticed it says no.
Anyway around this ? how can i unlock the bootloader?
This is making me reconsider the device and go get the HTC One
may i ask what you need to do with an unlocked bootloader?
Root recovery and rom flashing can still be achieved with a locked bootloader.

well once cwm or twrp is fixed you can flash roms and not loose root or recovery.
as for why have an unlocked bootloader, well custom kernels.
I thought Sony was offering unlock bootloaders to everyone.
btw, have you tried the unofficial unlock tool?

Is this true?
I thought you could only load Sony-based Roms. Like Lite edition ROMs et all.
But what if I wanted to load CM10 onto my Bell ZL?
I definitely need to unlock the boot loader no?

99% of the ROMs for the ZL or for that matter almost any phone are for ones with an unlocked boot loader. Can ROMs be made for locked boot loaders as well? Sure they can. But devs have enough bugs and performance enhancements to deal with as it is to worry about locked BLs.

yes you need an unlocked bootloader to use official cm10, but in time you will see versions ported for locked bootloaders.

Check if Your bootloader is unlock able and there are Kitkat ROM's available for Your device.

Check if Your bootloader is un-lockable. You can Google how to check that.
