Hi,
I am thinking about rooting my one x because it doesn't have hardware or software faults and i don't think I need to send it for warranty. But just incase I will need to in future will I be able to relock it? without htc knowing it when s-off for one x is available.
Thanks

i dont think so
Might be possible, unless there's something on the phone how would HTC know that we've actually used the unlock code apart from it saying unlocked. There might be a way in the future to wipe these stats if there are any.
Like in the Samsung devices there a custom binary which shows how many times you've flashed you can reset this with a jig.
I'm sure we can revert back to original when we get S-OFF but it's whether any other information is recorded somewhere on the phone by using htcdev.
For what's its worth I couldn't wait and used htcdev.

I'd actually be curious myself if it records somewhere that you used the unlock on it. I'd kind of be surprised if it didn't actually. But you can definitely flash back a stock rom and relock it. Whether that'd work if you sent it in for warranty or not, I don't know. I'm sure someone has tried and can verify though.
I think when you sign up with HTCDev and get the unlock key for your device, you're accepting immediately that signing up alone may void your warranty, but they leave the wording loose so it's difficult to actually tell. It's a nice way out of the warranty for them if they don't want to fix something and you've signed up on HTCDev.
Ok thank you very much guys. Im going to root my phone because it doesn't look like s-off for one x is going to come out soon. What stuff do you guys have on rooted one x?ow

Charmeleon rom, Francos kernel as a start.
For root purposes I use:
AdAway to get rid of ads,
Root Explorer to delete system/app bloatware,
Titanium Backup Pro to backup data app very useful for switching roms,
Autostarts to stop applications from auto starting on boot,
Those are my main root applications along with Super User.
Charmeleon rom is excellent with its vast array of tweaks.

So I don't want to take an expensive phone with me travelling, and seeing as you can get this phone for really cheap (on a contract) I thought it be better than nothing. I am coming from a HD2 though (broken) and am slightly concerned about the performance. I have read good things, but I would feel safer if I knew that this might get rooted, be overclockable, new customs roms etc.
So if any dev's that plan to root the wildfire s and build custom rooms please let us know!
There are guys working on the Desire S and Incredible S.....
Once they get those rooted / S-Off etc etc I would imagine that the Wildfire will follow.......
Dont quote me on that though
given that the wildfire was very popular and officially supported by cyanogenmod, i believe the wildfire S will follow the footsteps of its predecessor.
Just be patient and wait for a few months. This phone is still in the process of being rolled out in various parts of the world. Once enough people get hold of this phone, i'm sure there will be a few hackers/developers among them who will try to work on rooting and developing custom roms/kernels for it.
Wildfire S Root
I sure hope that a root for the Wildfire S comes in the following months. I wanna get some over-clocking action my my Wildfire!
I am also waiting to root.
But in my case I am very interested because I need rSAP on it to connect to my car.
well, keeping finger cross.....

I think HTC should do what they done with the Nexus One and what Samsung done with the Nexus S and provide the choice for users to unlock the bootloader through fastboot. Motorola and Sony Ericsson are doing it with the Xoom, Arc etc.
Also: I can't wait for custom roms and such to arrive to the S.

I got a S yesterday , and waiting for someone show me how to root it.

not possible at the moment, need to wait for HTC to release unlock (if any), because they are not locking bootloader anymore, but nobody knows if it will affect released devices also (like wildifre s)
They not lock starts from this moment... You should ask devs from other rooted devices from htc... Dont belive root comes himself...
EDIT: I take wildfire from my friend and take a look on this...

hi, today played a little bit with the phone from my wife
i tried, but all without luck
-superoneclick 1.9.1

and found this on a quick search in google is a german site http://www.nexustalk.de/magazin/artikel/234-htc-wildfire-s-root-anleitung-zum-rooten.html

Does anything give a temp root?
temp root, unfortunately not
Thats a shame. Guess we gotta wait and see if HTC will unlock the wildfire S :\
Hi there just wanting to ask a quick question is the firmware on a wildfire s the same as the wildfire A3335 which is the Australian model thanks. As i am thinking of debranding it. I have already got it unlocked so that shouldn't be a problem.
Same phone, so same model.
Temporal Root

Hi!!
Yes, you might have temporal root privileges.
You have to use GingerBreak through ADB Shell.
Remember this doesn't allow you to install a Custom Recovery or a Custom Rom as the phone will not actually write nothing, so better don't try.
You may use any ROOT-Application like Titanium Backup till you reboot your device.
I don't know if this method works on all WildFire S.
Remember if you just want to debrand your mobile you may use a GoldCard to flash a Unbraded Stock ROM and get ride of all of that stupid branded screens and applications once and for all (as i did in mine)
Good Luck!!
In China it seems you can buy S-OFF Wildfire S, I guess they do this with XTC-clip and then sell them (still doing some more research). Thinking of buying one for my wife.
Does anybody have a link for nice background info how to make a rooted ROM?
I am experienced in baking my own rooted ROMs for Legend with the kitchen, but I have always had a rooted ROM (like BlaY0 0.8.4 or CM 7.0.3) as a starting point.
Now I guess my best bet is to take a normal RUU image for Wildfire S and to put su etc. on it, but what else would I need?
Is it feasible to, say, mix kernel+drivers etc. from the original ROM with less harware specific parts from BlaY0 or CM and in such a way construct a new ROM?
I read somewhere that from a hardware point of view Legend is closest to Wildfire S? Could somebody confirm this?
TIA!
I have read that its impossible to root the AT&T version, but is it possible to do so with the international one?
Because my friend is having a problem that when he is trying to get the token from the phone, nothing happens. Is this a fault on his side, or is this part of the 4.04 breakage?

That should work for the ATT One X
Rooting can be easily done, just install a custom ROM.
There are many 'stock based ROMs' so you don't even know your on a custom rom.
I've never tried to root a completely stock OS with locked BL on my HOX, so no idea about that.
If you want root, you'll want CWM, if you want that - then you'll want tweaks/performance boost - so, it all eventually leads you to a custom ROM anyway.

my apologies, i meant the bootloader unlocking through htcdev
My friend has the stock international HOX , on 4.04 . When he tries to get the token for htcdev, nothing happens. This kind of surprised me, and i don't know what to suggest
HTCDev has been a bit flaky recently; it definitely does work for the international One X (unless they upgraded hboot in the 2.17 update and somehow broke it, but I haven't seen anyone else mention that). I would say just keep trying, unless they're getting a specific error returned in which case that might give a clue.

2.19? I'm still stuck on 1.29. F$&k HTC! I'm selling my phone and never buying from HTC or any Taiwanese company ever again, or even speaking to a Taiwanese person, I'm gonna get a black marker and erase it from my atlas. How can they do this to me? I'm just gonna commit suicide now, and in my note I'm gonna blame HTC, see how they like that!

Haha aye, typing too fast. Couldn't be having that on my conscience.
Htc dev site was down yesterday, got that report from spanish users that were trying to unlocked their devices.
I do not know cause I m an elevate, dont use that anymore. I live in the upper part of the flat.
Just keep my unlock code bin in my fastboot folder and a copy in dropbox.
And I dont know If all hox variant use the same web. Users that reported that site was down...use tegra hox

hi I'm pretty new to the android os and I'm thinking about jailbreaking my HTC one x (tegra) to get jellybean, which im sick of waiting for and to get better performance. the thing is, iv read/watched a lot of guides on how to jailbreak/flash the one x and there is some confusing points and points in which the guides contradicts themselves. so just a few questions:
can you revert back to factory settings at any point? iv read in some guides that its impossible, I can't see why though?
what exactly is a ruu? is it the equivalent to a bios? is hboot a ruu?
I know that it is possible to brick your phone if you delete the ruu (hence why you use clockworkmod) but it seems stupid that the phone won't even know how to charge itself, is it that easy to brick?
iv heard that you can update the kernal, what's the advantage of doing this?
any tips on what to do and avoid when doing this, we all have to start somewhere
iv been using this as a main reference for the Rom I'm wanting to use.

a RUU is a leaked official version of an update, it is like a custom rom but it is stock and from HTC... when you buy an HTC phone it has certain RUU installed on it.
jailbreak is for iphones (which everyone here should hate), use the word "root" and "S-OFF" and "unlocked bootloader" when you are using an android phone
you can revert back to stock only if the RUU that you're on it has already been leaked.
the HOX is very very hard to brick! but sometimes i see cases of soft-brick which is easy to solve by the way.
our phone unfortunately doesn't have S-OFF (like almost every HTC phone out there except for the ONE X) so every time you flash a rom you have to flash the corresponding boot.img which contains important file to let your phone run with a certain custom rom.

Thanks for the swift reply, sorry I called it that, I had a iPhone for years but I ended up hating it(just it as a mp3 player now lol).
Well I currently havent done anything to my one x so its stock, but what I'm saying/asking is, surely I can just load a stock Rom and bootloader and be back to square one?
And as for the rom/boot.IMG I can see why it is a bit more complicated. So what's, in your opinion, the biggest reason to/you've flashed from stock?
Thanks again!
There is no way for 100% back to stock (for now). Unlocking bootloader voids your warranty.
Why unlock and flash cutom rom? - Custom roms are far better than stock, better performance, longer battery life... no limit of customizing your phone.
The downside for me is only loosing warranty.

because every phone i buy (android of course) will get rooted! custom roms are awesome, and nerdy
So once you unlock your bootloader and put a new Rom on you loose your warrenty because you can't revert and hide the fact that's what you did?
Hmm I don't know if I should mess with this then, I would but iv not long got my phone back from warranty because of the hardware WiFi issue.
Can anyone really sell to me why I should flash? I mean I'm interested in doing it.

yes, you can't hide, once you have unlocked, that you have voided your warranty... you won't ever have something as stable and fast as custom roms, that's why you should root and unlock your phone
right so better proformace and better battery, is there anything else you root for? i mean what does everyone else root for, for that matter?? i mean i keep looking at my phone and thinking. Hmmm should i, shouldent i? lol
Hi.
I am very new to the world of rooting and all that stuff, in fact, I have never even attempted to root any of my phones. I currently own HTC One X (International version) which is running the newest Sense 5 Android 4.2.2. update. I tried to follow some youtube videos on how to root my One X but they are all a year old at least and are demonstrated on the stock version of Sense that was on my One X when I got it.. Now I know I am a huge noob at this but I would just like to ask if somebody can guide me trough or at least give me a link to some kind of guide/tutorial which will work on the newest update for my One X. I am very cautious because I don't want to harm my phone by doing something stupid or wrong. Anyways, hope somebody can spare a minute and help me out. And also thanks for taking the time to read my post!

after you unlocked the bootloader flash custom recovery. then do a nandroid backup. then flash supersu/superuser then do nandroid backup again. you now have 2 backups of stock rom and stock rom(rooted) and when you flash custom rom make a backup again. eat will eat up space in storage but its better be safe.
Hey everyone, just wondering how many of you out there are planning on rooting their HTC One M9 - Adam
I will be but will keep it stock to see what HTC does with updates.
All my phones get the root & ROM trearement at some point.
Or I may just may keep it stock, that will be a first though.
I won't root mine. Like the M8, most apps that I have no need for can be disabled through the app manager. The only benefit of rooting my phone would be to be able to use Titanium Backup, but I've learned to live without it... Since I keep installed apps to a minimum, stock is all I need....
Definitly yes.. I think without root AND s-off you don't really own your device [emoji6] that's just my statement [emoji106]
Any Android phone in my hands will be rooted/s-off and custom rom/kernel with tweaks within the hour of getting it, no hesitation..
It's the sole reason i pick Android over IOS

Thats my idea too, rooted right away last weekend got it on saturday and sunday i got root.
ViperOne is my favorite for a long time (htc sensantion)
I'm on the fence. The only reason I can see right now for rooting, is having multiple user accounts, and battery / performance tweaks.
As for the first I can live without that. The second one, right now I do not believe is possible. It'll only be possible to improve battery by limiting the power of the phone which is a shame.
If we root the device, will it still get software upgrades to the stock (now rooted) rom?
If so, Is there anything that cant be done when rooted that would not allow this to work? (ie, maybe removing a stock app, or disabling an app that the system (non rooted) wont let you disable, having custom recovery)?
Let me know thanks!
Not sure yet. There are updates that will come to fix certain aspects of the phone.
No xposed framework which is one of the main reasons I root.
Also if I unlock the bootloader it will delete all my data, and I'm too lazy to re-install everything on my phone all over again.
hmm. Is the bootloader locked on the "unlocked" version? I already set up my wifes phone last night after a few hours of getting it all setup (the way i like it ) i wouldnt want to have to start all over again

Rooting doesn't improve anything. It allows you to access the system root (ie c:/windows/) which on android is locked away from users.
If you are going to root, it is only really worth it if you plan to s-off (security off) which allows you to run unsigned code, gives better leaway on recovering a borked device and gives read/write access to all partitions on the device.
