No. The only way to root ATM is to unlock your bootloader

Why cant you root with HTCDev?
im not sure that the warranty will still be okay if we unlock it
plus the phone is from orange and it might not work

you will loose guarantee either way as the bootloader will show as tempered. More chance to keep it valid if you use the tools HTC provided.
Orange should work just fine. Just try...
On another note i sent 2 phones for repair to HTC "unlocked" and they never charge me for the repair.
yes, i was thinking of only gettin root and not unlocking bootloader

You can undo the root and unlocked bootloader, before you send it to HTC. If you cannot undo because you have too big problems with the phone (frozzen phone,...) they cannot controll it either.

not possible as far as i know.
I just need root permissions for some apps. But there is no way to get root with looked bootloader

yes you can undo and get back to full stock but hboot will show "Relocked" so they will know you mess with it.

It used to be that you had to unlock in order to root etc.
But now with one click root applications like SuperOneClick etc, is there any reason to unlock the bootloader? Is it required for any custom ROM procedures?

Not really (although it does make things easier to flash - using fastboot is very convenient.)
But then again, is there any reason to not unlock it? It has been shown numerous times that HTC will honor the warranty despite an unlocked bootloader, while it has never been shown that HTC has refused warranty service because of an unlocked bootloader.

Ah, so the only thing unlocking does is provide access to using "fastboot"?
I know; I warranty swapped mine that was bootloader unlocked I'm just asking for general information.

Yes, unlocking your bootloader = the ability to flash images to your Nexus One using fastboot. That's it.
What if I am not planning on using a new rom? I want to stay on stock, but say, just want to overclock. I don't want to lose any data.
Would that make sense to just root?

I think you can just root then via SuperOneClick.
I have another question about unlocked bootloader. How can I tell if my bootloader its unlocked? I know usually I have to flash slp to unlock it or set S-off and if I'm not sure it should still be locked, but when I flashed modaco rom it said something about unlocking bootloader. I didn't want to but couldn't abort! So when I boot into bootloader it doesn't say unlocked but any way to tell beside that?

You'd see a padlock icon at the bottom of the 'X' screen as you boot up if you are unlocked.
Thanks, so I'm locked.

No, known methods of rooting without unlocking don't work on the one. I tried motochopper and srsroot.

Never
Click Thank if you find my post as useful
What a pity since you loose all your warranty when unlock..
Q. If I flash the stock rom then will it make bootloader locked again?
Q. If not, I tried the Easy Unlock Tool to make the bootloader locked and it made the status
of the device to relocked instead of locked. Is there any way to make the status to locked instead of relocked?
NO.. You cannot get "locked" again

That means my set's warranty is permanently voided? It's just 4 days old

Nah, people/companies accept it, as long as you haven't damaged it hardware wise or hardbricked it.

You will only need service if there is a hardware problem, like display breaks or speakers stop working or something like that..
Apart from that, we are here to help

don't see a problem going with htcdev. its safer. but even if you use another program, the "bootloader" will still show (tampered). there's a few tutorials how to removed this but not sure if available M8 mini
Hi there,
Is there anyway we could get rid of the annoying bootloader unlocking warranty when the phone boots for an unlocked bootloader device? I couldn't find anything on it here.
