Do all of the current methods in the Dev section work for the T-Mo version to unlock and root the phone?

Yes.
Thanks - is the stock T-MO ROM out yet?

So I'm hearing that the international version and the US T-Mo version are different, and it's easy to brick the T-Mo version if you use the intl guide for rooting.
Can someone please be clear about what needs to be done for rooting the T-Mo variant? This is serious business, messing with a brand new phone on a 2 yr contract.

Anyone know how to root the T-Mo HTC One S yet?
Personally, I'm not looking to install ROMs, I just want root, so I can use Titanium to back up apps and appdata and maybe a couple of other things that require root.

Same here. I'm not ready for ROMs quite yet, despite coming from daily flashes of CM9/AOKP on my Nexus S, but I'd sure as hell like to get root and get rid of all this godawful T-Mo bloatware, at the very least.
how can using root for international version brick the tmobile version ??
its not possible, the only way you brick your phone is by not following the instructions

I read a post in the developer section where someone said it was a different process. Maybe a bit more clarification is all we need. Coming from a T989 if I tried to use an international root method this would not go so good..
I just got my t-mobile one s.. Unlocked bootloader- flashed the recovery- then installed su... No problems.
I'm wondering the same. How different is different? I got the GSII for tmobile and buyers remorsed when I quickly realized there was hardly any rom support because of how different it was from the International version. I'm coming from the Vibrant community where variants were heavy but most things were relatively similar in the end. This makes me wonder if each different One S needs its own thread like the Galaxy S series.

Can you please outline the exact process that you used?

I think you must have read something different. It's absolutely not any easier to brick the T-mo version. You must be mistaken. It's actually hard to brick (as in impossible to recover) a phone if your not messing with the radio.

You just have to follow the guides.
Unlock the bootloader using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677
After that I used the superboot file found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577831
Now your phones rooted.
If you want to install a custom recovery I could only get the "Interim Touch (Custom CWM)" found in the all in one tool to stick.
Hello All,
I just rooted my HTC One X (on ATT 1.85 software version). I have still not unlocked bootloader. I am looking for some good stable Sense based ROM since my wife is going to use the phone. I am also looking to have OTG and MHL support on the ROM. Can anyone suggest a ROM for this? I looked around and found that ElemantalX V3.0 has OTG support. Can anyone suggest me a ROM?
Additionally, do I need to unlock bootloader to flash a new ROM? What kind of precaution I should take while flashing? I am doing it on SGS2, so I know bsasics but not familier with the process.
Thanks,
Hey there! If you're looking for a close to stock experience I suggest clean Rom...and yes you need to unlock bootllader..with HTC its either bl unlock or s-off and we don't have s-off yet
You're either already unlocked and don't know it, or you're not really rooted. You can't root without unlocking first.
Thanks Guys,
I will check for unlock (may be I don't know and am unlocked). I used 1.85 one click unlock, but didn't use HTCDev.
I will also checkout CleanROM.
By the way are there any Jellybean roms? I wanted to have ability of transferring photos using NFC.
Thanks again.

With 1.85 and the one click you are not bootloader unlocked. You still have to go through HTC Dev. As for ROMs, if you are trying to stay close to stock then I would go with CleanROM also.

Yeah there are plenty of JB ROMs in the original android development section. But since you want sense ROMs I would suggest looking in the android development section, the top 2 ROMs there seem to be CleanROM and ViperXL. There is also a JB sense ROM but it is very unstable.
I'm getting a Photon Q 4G LTE tomorrow, and I'm thinking of unlocking the bootloader in order to put CyanogenMod in it.
I've read other places that doing this on the non-LTE version disables 4G. If I use the official unlock tool from Motorola, will it disable 4G? I haven't been able to find this out, and after asking on the official Motorola forums, I got no answer at all.

No, if you officially unlock the Q LTE will still function.
At least it did for me on Sprint...

I was wondering if it is possible to flash HTC One M8 Developer Edition RUU to the Verizon version? I saw in a post that it wasn't possible because it was a CDMA but that post was back on May. It is possible or not? I have S-OFF and root access on my Verizon M8.

I don't know the first thing about building a ROM. But doesn't anyone have an AT&T version of this phone?
I do, there's no root yet

It's not that there's no love for at&t...
There is not root out for that model since the bootloader is locked
Bootloader cannot and probably never will be unlocked on this device or any other Android device on AT&T's network. This is the number one reason I left AT&T last year. Without this prerequisite you cannot have custom recovery/kernels/love.
OEM unlock in settings gets us no where?
Same with me @androidfilesharing. Just left them for tmobile. Att had great service and customer service. But no carrier is gonna dictate what i do with MY device. Especially when they make me pay full retail for the device.

First thing you need to know about building ROMs is that the device you are building for needs root. AT&T and Verizon is well known for not allowing root or unlocking bootloaders. Sorry.
