To Unlock or not to Unlock. That is the question

Guys i am torn. One minute i want to unlock through HTC dev website but on the other hand i want to wait for the S-OFF exploit. Not just that, wondering if i unlock will i still be able to get OTA updates still? I know i will do from what i read but few more confirmations would probably ease my mind.
Had a year my galaxy s2 and was lucky enough that the s2 was already unlocked. Not a stranger to rooting but coming over to the HTC One x and reading on instructions on how to root kinda gets me worried.
What do you think guys? Development i am sure will be picking up but do you think it is worth to unlock through the dev site and if so why please.
Many thanks.

The OneX is really easy to root and the nvidia tegra tweak is well worth it

The One X honestly isn't that hard to root.
Just need to unlock the bootloader - then install recovery and then obviously flash a rooted ROM.
Great instructions from bagofcrap24 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592355
The best thing for me after rooting was getting rid of the three dot menu button that takes up screen space on some apps. Using LeeDroid's ROM, I now have the Recent Apps button mapped to Menu and long pressing Home mapped to Recent Apps.

i know mate...it is really a question of when to do it...i mean i do not get as to why they do not come unlocked already though...what is the big deal of them locking the bootloader..that is one of the things that made me go for the s2 over the sensation. cause it was so easy to root through odin. might do it today and unlock and root

Waiting for our great developers to unlock it.

see that is the problem that is holding me back Foggy mate. some people say it does not void your warranty some say it does. The actual website says it does void your warranty...Kinda confusing if you ask me. I mean i had my s2 for a whole year before i sold it and it never died on me. But i am really not willing to take the risk with the HOX just yet.

To be fair it says
"It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty."
I think there's def the emphasis on "resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader"
So if yo have a warranty issue that isn't affected by unlocking the bootloader you should be fine.

And who will decide if your problem comes or doesn't come from unlocking and doing stuff on it?
Thats my point, it's just to easy for a repair center to say "yup that is possibly caused by unlocking and moddifying your device".
It voids your warranty if they decide to do so, if they even slightly suspect the unlock/modding has anything to do with the failure.
It's your word against theirs...
Like I said, not in a hurry, the Devs will get it unlocked anyway, just a matter of time, and that way I don't have to worry about warranty.

spot on with that mate. hence why i opened this thread cause you do not know what might be said hence why this is the only bad thing about the HOX that it does not come with an unlock bootloader

anyone had any news on how far through they are with unlocking the bootloader. I really want to get the battery fix installed but am also a little weary about the warranty thing. I got a feeling that if they know your bootloaders been unlocked theyll end up blaming that for the failure even if it wasnt due to it. Saying that my other tab has the htcdev site open so im currently back and fore about using the htcdev site.

Kinda understand why they want to lock it, and offer an unlock with certain warranty issues..
They need to cover themselves ofcourse, otherwise everyone with a bricked device (due to their own fault mostly) is sending back their device for a free repair
I'm happy they left backdoors (official and possible non-official) to unlock the bootloader, think if they want they could have just closed up everything to have it never unlocked again

If you can use your device without any major issues i'dd wait a bit. The device is only 2 weeks out and i'm sure ppl are on to it, we need to give them some time, no need to rush things.

true true. and yeah we kinda forget sometimes that this phone has only been out two weeks now. i love it specially i got my replacement and is grey or shall i say Gun Grey Metallic.. love saying that. And probs best to wait for the exploit. Kiinda similar to the chainfire app he has for the s2 now. thanks mate and stock anyway is running well for now...but i am getting itches to flash..so many sexy roms out there

I really want to root so I can lock Sense in memory but I am going to hold off until the screen banding issue is resolved. I am confident it will be fixed by an OTA but if it isn't I don't want to create any excuse not to honour the warranty.

Guys, if you think your device so far got no hardware issues, It's time to unlock. Getting rid of the annoying menu button alone is a big reason enough to unlock.
Been switching ROMs already for a couple of days and it's fun, the excitement is high lol. Anyway, there is still no custom kernels yet for overclocking so you don't need to worry of frying your CPU. Customization and theming won't hurt your hardware.
So there, go for it, UNLOCK!
Btw, don't flame for my advice lol.

might hold off for a little while longer. hopefully we shall see some AOKP roms

I would say unlock, your warranty will still cover hardware issues and well software issues, you can fix them yourself

I see your predicament! it is a tough one.
Would love to see AOKP as well. Watched an interview with Roman tho and he didnt seem too interested in the One x for some reason and said there were no current plans to develop for it. Although, even if they dont support the One X officially, it will hopefully get ported at some point.

well we could only hope..i will be honest i kinda have a slight regret selling my s2 as the development for that handset is smoking hot at the moment. but regarding my HOX i am kinda itching to unlock but on the other hand voices tell me to wait for a few more days..i know development will be huge for this phone as it is the flagship. but there are few niggly things that are starting to annoy me and that might push me towards unlocking through HTC dev site
i mean stock as it is at the moment i am more than happy with..but like any phone this has some minor issues but hoping that the update we are waiting for will sort this for me

[Q] Noob questions about rooting for this phone

1) Is this phone likely to get root soon after release? Just based on LG history or whatever is known about the phone so far.
2) Does being on Verizon usually mean waiting longer or not getting root access at all? If Verizon-rooted phones are rare, please let me know some good alternatives.
Thanks all for putting up with me.

Im sure there will be root. but it will take a while, and i dont see anybody posting on the dev section talking about root. so probobly in afew months, once they read the source of the OS, and figure out how to make root.
Im from big red, and they always lock there bootloaders. so thats alittle more work and codeing which turns into abit more waiting time if you want custom roms. but G4 seems like a pretty popular phone, so im sure root will come eventually

This phone hasn't been fully released yet. It will def get root. I'd give it a month or so.
I have Verizon and the G3 was unlocked within 3 months. I'm hoping since this is Qualcomm's first hexa-core, there'll be some exploits to gain root/unlock BL faster. Take it from a Sammy guy, WAIT THE FEW MONTHS. Samsung hasn't seen an unlocked BL for Verizon in 2 years.
Sent from my S5 using your mom

yep, probably gonna pull the trigger on the att g4 with their nasty corporate locked BL crap. I'd normally be concerned about root, but in this case I'm not terribly worried, because this phone will have SO much attention in the dev community. now, getting the att BL unlocked to run twrp... that's another story and could be a very long time if at all (just for the att version).

Root?

Does anyone know how we can go about obtaining root?
One way would be to patch the boot.img with magisk but since we don't have recovery files that won't be possible for now. Is there any other method?

No idea where to go with rooting but since all Razer phones are bootloader unlockable they seem ok with it to the point that they're letting us decide what to do with our phones.
They've made it clear that unlocking the bootloader and/or rooting/installing recovery will void warranty and will leave you entirely on your own as far as repairs go at that point.
Unless you're using Three Rescue and tell them you have no idea what happened and can't really say anything except;
"Well.... It's just.... Not working. I don't know why. It ran out of battery and since then I can't turn it on no matter what I do. Charging makes no difference."

Root plz?
Hey,
Just got confirmation mine has shipped. Anyone achieve root yet?
I saw bootloader unlock is easy... but i don't know enough to take that and achieve root from it on my own. Suggestions?

Interesting.... But I think they may be a way to relock the bootloader like on some Nexus devices. If that's the case then Razer won't be able to tell and would have to Honor the Warranty.

Considering the language barrier & /or translation, whether literal or, in real meaningful context, is hard to glean from that answer.
Could be a canned response, or, their intentions of not planning to accommodate, or, something else (not now, but, at a later date).

Not looking to good for development so far. I'm loving this phone a lot but without root and custom roms I really have no use for it. I sold my Note 8 because it was so locked down and I couldn't do what I wanted with the device. Now this one isn't locked down as much but it looks like Razer is lacking in releasing the required images needed for root and custom recovery (TWRP). They may or may not release it with time but it will be after the return period by then. So now I'm debating if I should return it and go with the Oneplus 5T which has amazing development.
Anyone else want to try contacting them? Maybe we can get something going if they see the user want it.

Yes the essential phone at its current price is looking like a hell of a deal. With this phone I wouldn't mind having at least the stock rom rooted but we don't even have that. I'm willing to wait if there was at least some hope. I thought I saw some where we may even be covered with an extended holiday return window. Do you know anything about that? If that's the case ill try to run it as close as I can to the return dead line.
I opened up a poll on the Razer forums to see if most users are even interested in root.
I know a lot of user's here on xda that can't have a device without root. I'm interested to see what the response would be of non xda user regarding root.

If I were you,I'd check Amazon or Microsoft Store for their return policy & return the one you ordered direct from Razer,if it's worthwhile,not a drawn-out process with Razer.
Another option would be to flip it on Swappa,you could probably at least break even or come close to it,especially if you have a case/etc.. to throw in to the deal.................

Random Reboots Since June Update?

Pixel XL, stock ROM/ kernel, rooted with Magisk, TWRP recovery. Getting random reboots about every day or two, usually while it's sleeping in my pocket. This all started right after the June update with no other software changes. Anyone else seeing the same?

Been happening to me as well. I'm not on stock, but it seems to have smoothed out for now.

Search for your issue here https://issuetracker.google.com/ if someone has reported it Star it so gets more attention if it's not reported make a report yourself
Unless it's an issue by Magisk then obviously no support

I could be wrong, but I doubt he rooted it/unlocked its bootloader just to break a "privacy protection". He probably rooted it/unlocked its bootloader so he could get more functionality out of it.

Going back to the point on the topic, I also got my phone rebooting several times a day after the latest update. And now, it just stops ... booting*

*AT ALL!!
I have a brick! It slightly vibrates after 30 seconds of combining Power and Vol Down buttons, but I can't get it into bootloader or any other booting sequence. The screen doesn't turn on, not even when charging. I can feel the phone is charging because is slightly warm (as usual) while charging.
I tried living the phone all night discharging the battery (unplugged) but still not able to recover it. I tried again charging it today, but still nothing. No chance to do fastboot or any adb, the phone is not even turning on. What should I do? RMA? Mine is a Pixel XL 128Gb (Verizon) with stock ROM not rooted.

Try holding down power about 8 or so seconds
Then while still holding it down, hold down the volume up for 6 seconds, then let it go if nothing, let power go.

Yes, very much worth it for the additional functionality. I use layered security that will keep the vast majority of snoops out so it strikes a good balance.

Question Hulu and Netflix Not Working

Hey guys, I've been out of the game for a long while now. I got my new OP11 today. I unlocked it, but have NOT rooted it.
Any ideas why the Play Store is telling me Hulu will not run on it and Netflix tells me to update, but the store says the same thing?
I thought this was only if you rooted?
Thanks!

Updated to include Netflix.

I think safetynet detects your device as unlocked.

Any way to fix it, or am I just leaving the phone locked?
Things have gotten out of hand. I remember when the hard part was cracking S-On on my HTC devices.

it has technically progressively gotten worse. was easier on the 10 pro, and flawless on the 9RT. the 9 series was OPPO's first phone after pushing carl out. 9RT was the first running fake oos.

Follow kernel su method. The chances of bricking your phone is less and chances for OTA updates working is more.

Well, since I unlocked, then relocked to fix Hulu and Netflix, I broke security. Won't let me set finger print/face/pin.
I assume the only way to fix it is to unlock/relock till it works, right?
