Hey guys, I just got the HTC Raider here in Canada on Rogers. I wanna know do I have to unlock the bootloader in order to root? Or is there a way to root without unlocking bootloader?
Thanks to everyone and anyone who can advise
Not at the moment, too root you have to flash a .zip through recovery so you will need to unlock your bootloader in order to gain root.
Hey Mr Patchy Patch, remember you from the X10 days.

LOL yes I remember your name!
I just got this thing today, love it, but hate not having root access.
went to the htc thing for unlocking bootloaders, but in the pulldown box rogers isnt there....I dont get it
The HTC Vivid (AT&T) option should work. Haven't heard any problems with any Bell users unlocking through HTC dev and selecting HTC Vivid.

Nope, if the Unlock code is unsupported then it will tell you and won't allow you to continue.

I have a raider and I had no issue unlocking. From what I heard if we do get s-off it should be effected by us doing the HTC unlock.

You cant get the **LOCKED** status back. you can only get **relocked** state which i think puts your warranty back in action.
Use ADB and type this command "fastboot oem lock" (Without "s)
Keep in mind that re-locking your bootloader with a custom rom installed will give you a **security warning!** that will lock your phone into bootloader and not reboot(read: make unusable ) and remain that way until you run an ruu that is your current firmware or newer. (Source - internet google search)

I have TEP with sprint so I'm not worried about the HTC warranty being voided. should I HTC Unlock now or wait for an s-off method?

Are we able to flash kernels with the htcdev unlock?
Should be able to via fastboot - I'm gonna wait a while since it's so new yet
just did the htcdev method via fastboot without any issues. my One is running like a champ
Is there still a problem with getting updates after doing this?
I'am worried that if I send in my one to get repairs they'll notice that it's rooted and won't be able to fix it.
Yep

Hi
Greetings,
Yes rooting avoids the warranty
But it does not end their
You can make your phone complete stock again and return to HTC care centre
Basicaly you can root and unroot again

that's not correct, they will see that you've unlocked the bootloader... anyway if you root the phone it MAY void your warranty... hardware problems should be still covered by warranty
This has been asked many times. As a safe answer, yes rooting voids your warranty. But its not as simple as that, and it all depends on local consumer laws. In the UK HTC would have to prove that rooting caused the fault in order to reject a warranty repair. In theory only if you brick your device HTC should have the right to deny a repair. In practice they can come up with any excuse for any fault (e.g. your screen doesn't work anymore because you rooted, change to a ROM that modified parameters that caused the screen to fail etc.). And no, if you root and unroot, your bootloader status will be RE-LOCKED instead of LOCKED, so they will know if you previously rooted the device and could still deny a repair.

Dude if you mess with your phone with rooting or flashing other roms be prepared to have your warranty voided. That's the risk you take. Unrooting isn't magically going to bring the warranty back.

i think you said that because you have an s-offed htc sensation i had one too and for that device if you flash a RUU they won't see that you have unlocked the device but here we do not have s-off and we can't do that trick
Hi
Greetings,
Yes your rite and I came to know we still do not have s-off for HTC one
Neways thanks for clearing my mind

I believe he means, he 're-locked the bootlloader and either put stock back on through an RUU or he just installed a stock looking Rom.
If you unlocked your boot loader through revone odds are your warranty is fine! If you used the HTC website then your warranty MAY be void.
Best thing to do, is just run a RUU, and send it in. Some people have sent in their devices S-off and Unlocked.

I will give it a try then . . Thanks #proz
Hello,
I dont want to open new topic. I am on the latest 4.3 version with One and I want to make root, just root, no custom roms, just root for some apps. Can you please tell me the easiest, fastest and safest way to do that ? And also what should I do in order to make warranty in the future valid, like backup of stock rom or something.
Thanks a lot

About warranty: LOL read last 2 pages of this topic, its clear.
or from HTCdev.com:
It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty.

Tnx but I am reading that there is some Revone way of unlocking bootloader and then I dont get re-locked in case of warranty, is that way harder to make ? I was hoping for some SuperOneClickRoot possibility
SO if I want to flash an RUU does my phone have to have a LOCKED bootloader?
Currently mine is unlocked and on the HTC One X I was not able to use RUU`s when my bootloader was unlocked.

What Eddy said but I'd like to add when I had s-off on my One XL that was no longer the case and I'm sure it's the same on the One but I haven't ran any yet to know for sure.
