I just recently got an htc one vx, been big into rooting etc for years, especially the evo and evo shift. however im having a little bit of trouble finding the method for rooting this phone. if anyone could point me in the direction of a up to date method. every where i look is deprecated methods.
thanks guys, once i get this going maybe i will be able to help with some development.

man flashing roms on evo is so easy, i tried to flash a rom not so long ago while i was at a stop light the other day and it took more for the light to go back to green than the phone to flash, you'll love it
I came from the Palm Pre and I was a little nervous at first. And slightly confused by the different lingo. But to be honest, rooted and flashing your Evo is extremely easy.
I use this guide every time (I root friends phones). I kinda giggle at how easy it is, and how smart they think I am haha.

If you go my route on rooting if you screw your phone up or need to unroot its easy as pie some rooting processes are a pain in the butt to unroot check it out .
So since I messed up my first Droid by rooting and then OTA updating I was cautious about rooting my shiny new Droid Incredible 2. I updated to 2.3 OTA because I was excited about some of the features I saw in the Nexus S but unfortunately not all those features made it to my phone. Soon after I read that I saw a post of an OC Incredible 2 with a Quadrant score of over 3000. I am asking anyone out there, is there a way to root OTA 2.3 and if there isn't can some one as soon as they hear how to post here. Thanks.
Look into XTC Clip. I don't know if it can or not, but it's probably ur 1st choice right now.

XTC clip is currently the only method, unfortunately. And in reality, that is only getting you S-OFF. However, from there, you can move on to rooting.
No GB root at the moment.

well if your wife's phone is still on froyo, you should be able to use alpharevX to s-off then root it.
EDIT: just realized the title of this thread. too many threads open, got confused.
well i recently got a g2. it is currently unlocked but i want to get it rooted too. will the rooting affect the status of it being unlocked? it is tmobile branded so i am guessing it will unlocked by typing in a special code? thanks. also how can i root the phone? just send me a link. i am experienced in rooting as i have a rooted epic 4g and also my girlfriend galaxy 2.
No rooting and unlocking are two seperate things and don't affect one another. Not @ a computer so just google the link try "htc g2 root wiki" will be one of the first hits I'm sure. Read first make sure you understand, having said that its safe and easy

how do i know which is the appropriate clockwork recovery for my phone? i think i need the first one ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0:?
Any for the vision will work, you can always upgrade later. And in the future I recomend 4ext but it is mostly prefrence
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
thanks. almost done. going smoothly. not really liking the phone. isnt comparable to the epic 4g or the galasxy s2. might just sell it after i do this
Lot of people seem to think this way, personally I love this phone and for my needs there isn't a better one out there. I doubt ill buy a new one for years

Hey guys,
I recently bought my one x and i want to root it eventually and right now i would like to leave it as it is. But i want it also to update via the official updates. Will it be harder or even impossible to root afterwards if i update?

I would update personally as there are many nice fixes/improvements in the new updates.

If you plan on unlocking your bootloader via the HTC Dev route then not really.

It might affect your ability to get S-Off, but we don't know as we don't have S-Off.

You should go root, update, and flash a custom ROM. From my experience, my One X is my first super phone after jumping over from a crappy Nokia phone.
The first day when I got my phone, I got all excited with playing around it. I've been reading lots of stuff here on XDA. It was very tempting to root in on day one, but I managed to let it stay. But immediately, the day after, I risked it all and tried to root it, even if I don't have any experiece or background on handling an Android device.
All the hardwork payed off and just this morning, I updated my phone to ARHD 7.2.0 on stock kernel. Everything feels better right now than what I had on day 1.
But in the end, it is still your choice if you want to hack your phone or not. But trust me, it's worth it.

Root is fine.. But to have a custom rom we need to have bootloader unlocked right?

Totally agree. I've had Android for a while now and my first few I kept stock for that reason, the OTA updates. Kept my Hero and Desire on stock. I then got a DHD and now have a One X and both of these I rooted and flashed custom ROMs and can honestly say was best decision I made. There are spme quality ROMs and developers in this community. As long as you do your research you shouldn't find it too hard, theres very good guides on here. I am also running ARHD 'cause I like the stock look but its so much smoother and quicker. Most devs are also very good at keeping up with the official updates too (If not quicker in many cases.).
Like monchee said its your choice, but personally I don't think I could have a device now without root and custom ROM!
Hope this helps

You need to unlock bootloader to get root too.
I would suggest waiting at least a couple of weeks to see if you have any defects as HTC are refusing to repair unlocked phones in many instances.

Of course. I just tought the officiall htc ota's would do their job better. I had a legend before i bought the one x and i really enjoyed s-off,cwm and root.

I have heard and seen that Android 4.2 has been released to our One X's and have also read that it has only been released on unlocked phones and not on my 3 phone. Is this true?
Also, I have recently returned to stock 4.1 and a stock recovery, and as I am pretty much a massive noob, half the time I don't know what I'm doing! I managed to get the OTA from the 4.0 Nandroid I restored from to upgrade to the 4.1 I am on now.
I don't know if I have done something wrong and that's why I can't get the update or if it has just not been released for 3 phones yet?
Would be much appreciated if I get an answer
P.S. Sorry this is a bit long, tried to keep it as brief as possible and sorry if this has already been posted, couldn't find anythingon this!
