Ehmm no. After you unlocked your bootloader you have to download a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP - ICS/JB version, depends of your bootloader), then download android sdk or only adb tools and open cmd on adb folder and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery_downloaded.img" then you can root your stock rom or install a custom one.
To root just download Desire X Multi Tool by hasoon2000 and flash Superuser.zip in recovery or just open the tool and press Root.

So I decided to use htcdev to unlock my bootloader last night for the first time. I am on OTA 1.22.651.3. I know I am not "rooted" and am confused as to if I can actually try any custom ROMs. I read REGAWMOD's post regarding his rooter not working right now...is there another option? Sorry if I missed a post that explains this situation, but I just want to try a custom rom without screwing up my phone.

There's really no reason to manually root if you've already unlocked the bootloader. All you need to do is flash a recovery and then you can flash any ROM, which will already have root access. Here's a good instructional on flashing a recovery:

Thanks premo15 for the info and link.
The funny thing about htcdev was the stuff they make you download and the steps they make you go through to unlock the bootloader. I was thinking they were going to make me hop on one foot while patting my head and belly simultaneously. :laugh:
I read over and over, did some research, tried running cmd and so on.
having no luck
I went through the HTCDev, s-on but bootloader unlocked
I'm running stock 2.13
After unlock you need to flash twrp, you can use fastboot to do so, just download twrp from the teamwin website and put the image file in adb tools or android sdk folder and in the bootloader type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img

yeah, sorry.
the steps i've taken were similar to the htcdev steps,
finish steps 1-7
after I typed "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" into command prompt and gives me
"error: cannot load 'recovery.img'"
The name has to match, when you download twrp 2.2 the full name is openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img so it would be fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img or you can rename to recovery.img

OR install TWRP custom recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994662
[At the moment CWM seems to be more stable] [DO NOT INSTALL BOTH! ONE OR THE OTHER!]
2) download rom on your phone and put in SDCARD. [it should already be there, most likely in the "download" folder. OR download the rom to your computer and transfer it to your phone
3. Download the Boot.img Onto your computer
4. Make a folder in C: called android. put he boot.img in it
5. Connect your phone to your computer, and make sure your htc drivers are installed and usb debugging is on. [Setting>Developer options>Then Check USB DEBUGGING]
6. Open Command Prompt (To get there you click start> Type in CMD on search > and then click command Prompt.)
7. In command prompt Type in "Adb Reboot bootloader"
8. That should put your phone into boot loader.
9. Then in CMD type "Fastboot flash boot <C:\android\boot.img>"
10. Once that is done you can close CMD
11.) Reboot your phone, and hold down on the volume rocker at the same time to get into bootloader.
12.) Now go to recovery and press power to click. (In recovery you use volume rockers to go up and down and power to click)
13) *make a backup in case anything goes wrong*
14) Then full wipe (cache, davlik, factory, etc)
15) go to install and find the .zip file of the rom and flash it, be patient it may take a while

By using adb and the fastboot program, found in the sdk-tools, you don't necessarily need S-off for anything. Most of the stuff you need s-off for is avoided using the sdk-tools.

HI EVERYBODY,
Today i wanna introuduce my first filekit for rooting htc amaze 4g,
It is easy and needs only clicks instead of writing commands and reading different sites and downloading files from different sites it's all in one,
so follow the guide carefully!
<<<<<<I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF DAMAGE YOU MAKE OR FOR ANY BRIKED DEVICES!>>>>>>>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP BY STEP GUIDE!
GUIDE 1:: {unlocking the bootloader!}
This is htc amaze 4g unlocking,flashing recoveries and rooting filekit by playboydroid at xda developers.
first step enable usb debugging in settings>developer options>usb debugging tick it.or if you are at gingerbread so goto applications>devlopment>usb debugging.
STEP 2>> go into my filekit select data folder>install htc drivers.
STEP 3>> connect your pc to phone with usb cable then in data folder slect reboot into bootloader when you get into bootloader so use volume keys to navigate and
power key to select,you should be connected with usb cable between your phone and pc you will see written fastboot usb highlited with red if you cannot see
so select fastboot written in the bootloader menu so when you see fastboot usb in red colour, then select token id windows batch file present in data folder of my
FILEKIT so by selecting token id from pc will help you in getting the token so select the token as follows:
When copying the token, start with this line:
<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>
And end with this line:
<<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
after marking the token copy it by right clicking on the command window opened so after right clicking a dailouge box will appear so select edit>mark then select the token written and right click to select the token then visit htcdev.com singup first then select unlock bootloader at the right of the site select your device
htc amaze (t-mobile)or(mobilcity)or other then begin unlocking bootloader skip all steps goto step 10 and deposit your identifier token there and you will recieve
unlock_code bin in your email download it and place it in my toolkit>data folder then run the file unlockbootloader in my toolkit>data so this will ask a question on your phone's screen so select yes if you want to unlock or select no if you don't want to unlock bootloader
Code:
(note that when you select yes your all data would be deleted)
so now you are done unlocking bootloader now you can flash recovery and you can proceed to root.
GUIDE 2 : flashing custom recoveries..
first step>>connect your phone with pc using usb cable.
second step>>use the file reboot into bootloader present in my filekit>data it will take you to bootloader (note;usb debugging should be enabled)
third step>>after getting into bootloader use the file flash cwm5026 recovery so the file will flash recovery in your phone!

and you are done flashing recovery the second part of rooting.
GUIDE 3 : rooting/installing superuser binary..!!

step 3>> select install zip from sd card and find the supersu.zip in your storage then select it and answer it yes and you are done!
step 4>> reboot your system now!
EXTRA GUIDE FOR S-ON USERS;FLASH 4EXT RECOVERY:
I WILL RECOMMEND TO FLASH 4EXT RECOVERY AFTER ROOTING AMAZE 4G WITH CWM RECOVERY BECAUSE IT
IS THE BEST RECOVERY AND WELL FEATURED!
TO FLASH 4EXT RECOVERY GO TO: AND FROM THERE DOWNLOAD 4EXT RECOVERY!
THEN YOU WILL GET 4EXT RECOVERY.ZIP SO SEND IT TO YOUR SD CARD THEN BOOT YOUR PHONE INTO BOOTLOADER USE THE
REBOOT INTO BOOTLOADER FILE FROM MY FILEKIT>DATA AFTER THAT NAVIGATE TO RECOVERY AND SELECT
4EXT RECOVERY.ZIP AFTER IT FLASHES SUCESSFULLY REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM OR REBOOT RECOVERY SO THEN
NEW RECOVERY WILL BE SEEN..
ALL GUIDES AND FILES ARE AVAILABILE IN THE ZIP..
EXCEPT 4EXT!
ALTHOUGH I HAD INCLUDED 4EXT RECOVERY IN THE FOLDER BUT IT IS NOT WORKING!
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE 4EXT RECOVERY UPDATER APP AND YOU CAN FLASH LATEST RECOVERY FROM THAT APP AFTER ROOTING!
4EXT Recovery App
so first download the zip from here
unzip it and use the guides above to proceed! use 7zip or similar
if you got any help from my post so please tap the thanks :good: button so i could post more!
I AM HERE TO HELP IF YOU GET CONFUSED IN UNDERSTANDING MY ENGLISH BECAUSE MY ENGLISH IS NOT WELL!!

Yes the problem is that you need to flash boot.img from bootloader or for easily flashing roms from recovery ,use 4ext recovery...
Just flash this recovery from an app at play store or xda named 4ext recovery control this will work only if phone is booting or if the phone is not booting so search 4ext recovery.img or .zip on xda and flash it in your current recovery and reboot your recovery...you would now be able to get in new recovery now before flashing roms you need to enable 4ext smart flash,which is available inside tools options in 4ext recovery once you had enabled smart flash start flashing roms and they would boot...but NOTE: when ever you are flashing roms always check that is 4ext smart flash enabled or not ,you need to enable it in order to boot new roms and always make an Nandroid backup...
Happy flashing and don't forget to hit thanks

And please tell me that you're currently on CWM recovery or anyother...
Well CWM recovery is included in the package so hoping you're on custom recovery..
The only solution for your problem is that your phone should be ICS 4.0.3 updated and you should have 4ext recovery with smart flash enabled...
Or other solution is perform S-OFF..which is very hard,because of the wire trick!

I assume that you are on ginger bread with old bootloader,so try CM7 or older roms that might work on your device,for flashing ICS and JB newer roms you will need to be on latest bootloader which you can get after updating your phone to ICS(official)..
if you are having unbranded HTC Amaze Ruby then you need to S-OFF or if you are having Branded i.e T-Mobile or any other just flash the RUU from boot loader....:victory:

ok, so I did all the above, I also installed an update:
You MUST flash the ICS firmware update when coming from a GINGERBREAD ROM before flashing Viper Amaze
Place the PH85IMG.zip in the root of your
EXTERNAL SDCARD and boot into bootloader
This will update your radio
to 1.15.550L.08D _30.80.550L. 16D
and HBOOT to 1.93.2222
I did the above, installed the Viper Amaze 1.7.2.3 official, and it worked!!!!
thanks again for your help and patient, thank you

if you want root all you gotta do is download amon ra 3.1.6 and flash it via fastboot....in that recovery you will see a developers option (advanced options) select that and inside it youll see install su & superuser...once you do that you are rooted bud
Yeah, the toolkit is... ummm... less than optimum.
Remember you don't even have to flash Amon Ra, or any other recovery... just download and unzip into your adb/fastboot directory, then reboot into hboot and start fastboot and enter:
fastboot boot recovery.img (replace "recovery.img" with the img name from the Amon Ra ZIP file)
then use the options in Amon Ra to install SuperSU (root) from there you can update to the latest version after it is installed.

If your bootloader is unlocked already, then it is super simple because you are already unlocked and therefore have working ADB...
1) Just download a recovery, CWM, TWRP, or Amon Ra
2) Extract the ZIP to your [adb sdk directory]\platform-tools\ directory (or mini-adb if you went that route)
3) Download the latest SuperSU here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
4) Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip to the root of your SD Card
5) On your PC open a command prompt in your adb directory
6) type "adb reboot bootloader", wait for it to complete and start fastboot
7) type "fastboot boot recovery.img" (substitute the name of the img file from the recovery zip for recovery.img)
8) Install/flash (depending on recovery) and find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip file and install/flash it
9) reboot
10) done, enjoy root

I think you need different drivers for Windows 8, I don't have a Windows 8 machine so I really can't help you with that, sorey... Maybe @REV3NT3CH can help here.

When in fastboot, type fastboot devices and see if it sees your phone... My guess is you have a driver issue.

Make sure you rename the cwm recovery to "recovery.img" without the quotes. Put the recovery.img into the android SDK platform tools folder.
Use command prompt and type -
cd \Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If recovery is successfully installed you'll receive a notification that say's -
wrote recovery partition

Use either cwm 6.0.3.1 touch or the non-touch cwm from here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313794
Just click on the recovery that you want and it will automatically download the recovery.

You have to install the fastboot drivers twice to get it to work right.
Put the recovery.img on the sdcard of the phone and try the Flashify (root) App from the play store and it should install the recovery just fine.

Just try the Flashify app first... You don't need to use fastboot with Flashify.

Just root it easily with Cydia Impactor...
Download the Cydia Impactor tool to your pc from the Cydia Impactor website. Extract the zip to a new folder on your desktop. Connect your L9 to your PC with USB debugging enabled and open the extracted cydia folder and click on and run the Impactor.exe, when the Impactor tool opens just click on the start button. Cydia will root your phone in like 5 to 10 seconds.
Download SuperSU from the play store, install and done.

@DARKSKIES
I just want to make sure that you successfully unlocked the bootloader... When you issued the "adb reboot oem unlock" command you were taken to a confirmation screen to unlock the bootloader and you had to use the volume key to confirm unlock?
Just want to be sure so you don't have any security errors or a brick.
Hi could somebody help me? Thanks!

Awesome... I'm glad I was able to help you.
Before you do anything else, make sure you perform a nandroid backup of your device through cwm now and make the backup to the SD card and not on the device so it doesn't take up unnecessary space on the internal memory.
Before you flash a custom ROM make sure you read through the OP's ROM flashing instructions and prerequisite to make sure it's compatible with your device and cwm version.
Enjoy the new possibilities of your phone and happy ROM flashing!
