Guys i just found this browsing the forums. This looks like great news for people who want to unlock bootloader without voiding the warranty. unfortunately this will not give us S-Off.

I have a few questions before I unlock bootloader and install a recovery. The first question is: will unlocking the bootloader erase anything off the phone? Also, will rooting through WCX Recovery.erase anything off the phone? I know that flashing a ROM will erase everything, but I'm just curious. I really don't want to lose anything until I've made a backup with recovery.

Yes for security purposes unlocking the boot loader formats user data. Rooting does not, but in order to flash the recovery you would need an unlocked boot loader.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll see if I can find a way to backup my apps. Any suggestions?

Since you're unrooted, you're probably going to have to rely on Google's cloud backup, which is inconsistent at best.
I don't remember whether MyBackup (Pro?) supports backing up without root or not, but that could be another option.
Think I'll just end up making a list of the apps. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Try appmonster pro.

Appmonster did the trick. I'll probably unlock the bootloader and root on Friday. Thanks guys!

I have one last question. Once I've unlocked the bootloader, and rooted, I don't need to flash a ROM? Probably a dumb question but I want to be safe.

Thats up to you some people like stock others like pre customized ones.
Can you recommend some? I want to try RumFloat or the De-Sensed ROM.

Where we are now in ROM development, I can safely say that if you want Sense, Telstra stock is more than good enough (as it includes WiFi tethering out of the box, no modification, and can have DSPManager put on it). I've heard good things about WCX Generic, but I've never been a huge fan of WC's ROMs. If you don't like Sense, try DeSensed.
I'm running 4.0.3ics stock with kozmikkernel .I'm just waiting for s-off.

I like sense enough to stick with it for a while, but I'm on AT&T. Will the Telstra stock still work?

How are support of custom rom for Sony devices and snapdragom 800?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
We need to wait till the bootloader gets fixed, as if you unlock your bootloader you loose your camera and some other important stuff. And to install a custom rom we need an unlocked bootloader. This is why it's so important to read as much as you can, and backup everything. I have a feeling it could be weeks or a couple of months before we see more custom roms. I'm not a dev myself but if you see a dev asking for donations remember to help out if you can. Or at least say thanks

Boot loader is only for kernel? I'm wrong?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
You need it unlocked to install custom roms via the recovery menu, otherwise your stuck with official roms.

To be honest I don't think it'll be that long. Maybe a week or 2 at max. Sony is really trying to encourage developers to buy their devices and develop for it. Because of this reason I don't see how it would take months for them to fix this problem. If they would do that they would destroy their developer friendly imago in the Android scene I think.
You will get cm but let's wait for sony to fix the camera issue after unlock

Hey! My cousin just got an htc one (second hand) from someone, and it turns out to be an unlocked sprint model. Now the problem is that the software is stuck at 4.1.2 as the firmware option has been replaced by UICC unlock as the phone is unlocked...
The phone itself is rooted and it has s-off
Thanks!

that is the problem, we don't know that :-/
is there anyway i could identify whether it is carrier unlocked?
Since you 're s-off and rooted you can always flash a rom based on newer version with Sprint support.

Unfortunately you will have to use HTC Dev to unlock and root to use rumrunner. I haven't seen any other way but try looking for a way to root without unlocking.

1) The warranty isn't voided by unlocking.
2) You can unlock via HTC Dev then S-OFF using Rumrunner and change everything back to stock if needs be... HTC will never know

They shouldn't but don't take my word for it! I remember reading something like that.
When I had a One X I unlocked it via HTC dev and I could hand it in for warranty. (Wouldn't turn on).
On the other hand rumrunner shouldn't alert HTC that your device has been unlocked.
