Curious if I should wait to root until I can unlock the bootloader. Can I flash anything?
no flashing possible on locked bootloader

Not entirely correct. The bootloader is locked but there is a bypass. We have the ability to root, install TWRP and flash ROMs once they become available

djrbliss has a way to bypass the bootloader, which is not the same as unlocking it, although that may come eventually. For our purposes it is essentially the same thing but it adds additional steps for developers creating roms/kernels etc.

good write up on how it works. I certainly don't pretend to understand it fully at this point, but the point is he has discovered a security flaw (it's what he does) and exploited it.

I thought Dan had unlocked the bootloader and was just waiting to release it.
Never mind, I just read Dan's threads.

So far I have tried every method iI can thank of rooting this phone and noe seem to work. I have done, SuperOneClick, revolutionary, unrevoke, rageagainstthemachine, gingerbreak z4root fr3vo and nothing has worked. Anyone know of any other programs to try get root
None of those that you mentioned work's with 2.3.4 Sense 3.0 , we're going to see if the bootloader's unlocked / locked first & i think it's locked it's not even letting me get into recovery mode it just show's a picture .
It is locked but you can unlock it using htcdev site

It does not show that it is supported but it worked on my device
This will allow you to flash a custom recover (which we do not have yet) I beleive it does ot give true s-off (flasing radios and what not)

What do you mean ? I just want to unlock it , that way once we get root & recovery or once my bootloader's unlocked i could work on root & a ROM
after it is unlocked it Factory Data Resets the device. In other words just like you pulled it out of the box
When they track phone's they track the MIUI , they don't track the phone , only the MIUI which is on the phone .

Just wait. Revolutionary will unlock the bootloader as soon as phone is out. No point officially voiding the warranty when there will be an unofficial way.

I doubt that unlocking will void the warranty. The HTC warranty on the MyTouch 4G only covers physical problems, which are still covered no matter what ROM is installed. I suspect HTC has a pretty similar warranty on all their phones.
I recently had a 4g LTE tower put in near my house. It's amazing.
I no longer want to pay $75 a month for DSL internet that is 6mbs Download /1Mbs Upload, especially considering my phone now gets 20Mbs/5Mbs
So I have the OTA update (mistake).
What can I do to get Wifi Tether to work without subscription?
What can I do to possibly unlock my phone?
I would gladly donate to anyone that could help. You would be saving me a lot of money. Money which would be heading your way for what ever shenanigans you can muster.
Thanks

If you had supercid with 1's or 2's prior to the update yes it is possible. Otherwise I think you can still get s-off if you ruu back to the 1.0.0 version. Just unlocking the bootloader is def possible as I did it myself. Search the threads to find out how to unlock , if I find it I will post the link

You cannot RUU backwards, without s-off.
You cannot s-off without unlock.
You cannot unlock without superCID.
You cannot get superCID if you're on the OTA.

The reason you can't do anything on the ota is because you can't supercid on it. Everything else requires supercid. Ao if you have taken the ota and didn't do supercid beforehand then you are sol.

Hey guys,
do you know whether it is possible to "relock" the bootloader on the Desire X. I recently got my phone and want to flash a custom Rom but it would be awesome to know I'm not loosing my warranty whith unlocking the bootloader on HTCdev.
thank you in advice
You will lose your warranty. You can only change back the status to "Relocked", so far there's no way to return it to "Locked".
thank you for your fast answer. There is no way to install a custom rom with a locked bootloader, isn't it?

Read the following before you proceed.

Your phone will only have limited warranty once you unlock bootloader.

Thank you for your help. I'm pretty shure I will unlock my device but not yet..
Do you know how to temp root the Desire X running Android 4.0.4 for uninstalling some annoying stock apps? Some time ago I used an app called "Visionary+" but i don't think this will work anymore..

Don't know about temp root, but you can always disable most of the system bloatwares.
Navigate to Settings > Apps > All
Choose the app you want to disable
You will find an option to disable it.
Disabling some system apps might lead to boot loops..

Thank you once again. I didn't mention you can disable stock apps^^

That is root, not bootloader unlock.

We have Kexec...-why would we need a bootloader unlock? Moto should stuff its locked bootloader in its throat...
But KeXec doesn't give us the ability to flash CWM on an unrooted Phone. This makes rooting a lot easier :thumbup:

The biggest reason to unlock the bootloader is to have the ability to revert your system to a version which the user took a special liking too.
I'm sure some would appreciate the ability to go back to gingerbread or ICS.
Have an look @ the RazR i Forum and you'll see how funny it is to downgrade your OS with an unlocked Bootloader, if you don't know how to do it.
Lucky Me i switch between ICS and JB without issues, but i know how to do it. Most people just started RSD and ended up with an hard bricked Device. We warned them again and again, in every OS related Thread

Hmm...I would say a unlocked bootloader would be nice but also provides some more risks to "usual" users. It's much easier to hardbrick your device with an unlocked bootloader, so a locked bootloader safes us from hradbricking our devices in some ways.
In fact we have Kexec which allows us to boot custom kernels - of course we cannot flash anything we want to partitions but in theory with a custom kernel we can create kind of virtual partitions for use with modified baseband...not sure here... but Custom kernels really provide lots of features - besides of the above mentioned things we can really do a lot of things with a kernel

It would be great if folks could also add:
1) Did they do the OTA update prior to unlock?
2) Did they figure out a way to keep the apps that disappear after unlock?

It's a bootloader unlock, so you can root, and eventually put custom Roms on there.
