Just unlock unofficially and flash black boot animation, and no one will notice, unless it is bricked and you can't unbrick yourself, and want to claim warranty.? All else just revert to stock.

Who is waiting to root without having to unlock the boot loader? I am dying for root access, but I am very worried about unlocking boot loader. I am a pretty advanced end user... Still, i don't want brick this awesome new phone though. Your thoughts and experiences would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance...

Firstly you cannot root unless you unlock the bootloader. Secondly the only current method to unlock the bootloader is via HTCDev.com which is an official and tested method. You will not brick your device unlocking this way.
That's why I am asking about the risk of unlocking the boot loader. I guess I will just go for it?!

Which phone should I select on htcdev.com to unlock the one x? All other models supported? It would be better to unlock it on a non-htc site, to avoid them knowing your warranty is expired after that..

I was wondering if I should select all other models too. Good to know it works considering all the warnings HTC posted on that page about things that can go wrong.

On HTCDev.com select "All Other Models". Just to clarify unlocking the bootloader on this site DOES NOT void your warranty. If your phone developed a screen defect for example HTC would fix this without charge under the warranty. If you bricked your phone as a result of flashing a custom rom then HTC would tell you to jog on.
Currently using HTCDev.com is the only method available to unlock your phones bootloader.
I was a little apprehensive myself but did it today, took all but 5 minutes!
Very easy and straight forward! Just follow the guides in the development section

Thank you very much... But if I do unlock the phone, could it prevent me to update to 1.28 fw as it is released? Otherwise, if I wait for 1.28, can I unlock later? Maybe the two things are completely unrelated, can you clarify me this point?

Hi i will be new to HOX , im curious in witch case i loose warranty.
Rooting void warranty?
Unlocking bootloader?
Sent from my LT26i
rooting will not void warrenty because if you remove it, they cannot tell it has been done.
unlocking bootloader (CAN) void certain parts of your warrenty because they can tell that it has been done
So ulocking BL and instaling kernels, roms without overclock and other cpu stuff should not void warranty if reverted back and relocked?

Yes, it will. You lose your warranty when you unlock the bootloader. When you revert back it will say Relocked instead of locked in Hboot.

In most cases you will lose warranty for unlocking the boot loader. But a number of people have managed to claim warranty on unlocked phones. It all depends on your local service center.
Thank you guys, looking forward to buy HOX and learn hboot, and all other HTC specific stuff.
Hope to talk with you i near future.

Hi there
I had to send my HOV for warranty repairs.
Now it comes a question - is required any special procedure to root it again?
Bootloader is already re-locked of course.

Nope, just do the same thing as before
Hello everyone,
Anyone here who has an unlocked bootloader managed to send the phone to warranty without any problems? I really want to install cm13 but I'm worried if something happens in the future I won't be able to fix my phone.
Thanks in advance
Hello, too.
If you want to unlock, use the unofficial way. As the official one voids warranty. However, if you want to claim your warranty, return everything to stock.
I managed to claim my warranty (unlocked using unofficial way) due to screen glitches before but the Asus service center said that my warranty was void due to contact with liquids.

Hi guys,
I'm using Gingko MIUI11 official with Bootloader unlocked and rooted, also Orange fox installed. As per invoice my device is still under warranty. But as I've unlocked bootloader, give root access also using a custom recovery what should I make sure before visit Service Center. As I'm facing proximity sensor issue and I've troubleshoot and found its hardware issue. So before visiting service center do I need to clean flash official MIUI again, lock bootloader again? Any suggestion please. As its my primary device I just don't want to clean flash. Is there anyway or advice? Or there is nothing to do
Regards
The only way to get back under warranty is to clean flash and relock bootloader

ok i misunderstood, that's what i read
, "Our ROMs were approved by official EU distributor ABC Data to not void warranty for devices sold by them! (Of course, officially unlocked BL and no ROOT installed)"
i remember xiaomi india tweeted : Unlocking bootloader does not breaks warranty

don't try to lock bootloader, you'll brick your device,
just unroot and claim warranty
Ok sorry for so late... I've visited to my nearest Service center and repaired my device and Rooting or Unlocking bootloader doesn't void warranty said by the Xaiomi Service Center. Thanks to all
