I'm rooted on 1.73 and want to get to 1.85 rooted and bl unlocked.
Should I -
OTA to 1.85>root>bl unlock
or
1.73>unlock>relock>1.85>root>re unlock

As of today you can do the first option, so you might as well since there are less steps involved.
Use OTA Rootkeeper to store a copy of SU, then take the update. After taking the update open Rootkeeper and restore root.
If you are going to unlock then I would just do it now and flash a ROM, though.

In the event that root doesn't work on 1.85 he might get stuck unrooted. If OP is going to unlock BL anyway, I'd recommend doing that first, than update to 1.85. This is the safer bet.

I am on 1.73 rooted. I am not unlocked. There are so many different questions it is confusing. Hoping someone can help. Since I am only rooted on 1.73 can I just upgrade to 1.85 and then unlock and then root? Just that simple? All that lock re-lock downgrading upgrading yada yada. I think I just need to Ruu the 1.85 then unlock then root in that order. Would that be correct? Thank you for your help.

Correction, you need to root before you unlock, it's a prerequisite. Also, rooting 1.85 seems like a bit of a pain right now...You may be better off waiting for a one-click solution if you can.
Take a backup of your user data with the instructions in this thread. Then unlock (user data wiped), and relock in order to upgrade. Then install the 1.85 RUU (user data wiped again). Unlock again, use the same token (user data wiped yet again). Install CWM and then root through CWM. Finally, restore your user data according to the thread.
You'll be on 1.85, the latest, rooted and unlocked, with all your data, apps, and settings 100% intact.

Noob to htc here.. I previously owned a skyrocket before i made the switch to this beautiful phone, and i gotta say the skyrocket is a very noob friendly phone. All I had to do was root, get cwm, and flash roms. So you can imagine all this bootloader stuff is a bit overwhelming. Anyways, I would love to update to 1.85. but ive already rooted/unlocked bootloader. So now i must re-lock it to install 1.85? I've tried to moved to 1.85 three times now from 1.73 with no luck and the bit about re-locking my phone confuses me. Care to elaborate? I've tried searching a lot of the threads in the def section but dear lord those threads get long fast..

Haha, yeah samsungs are like that. I had a captivate and my parents have a skyrocket and a note. This phone's design beats everything by far.
Go into the folder where you downloaded your one click unlock, open a command prompt, put the phone into bootloader and type "fastboot oem lock" to relock. After you upgrade, do the same but type "fastboot flash unlocktoken (name of your unlock file)" to unlock again.

You need to relock your bootloader again before it will allow you to upgrade, once the upgrade is complete you can unlock it again. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675312

Is it necessary to unlock your bootloader in the first place, can't you just upgrade from 1.73 to 1.85 without unlocking and then re-locking?

Nope, it is not necessary to unlock your bootloader to upgrade to 1.85. But if you plan to unlock it at all, you need to unlock it before upgrading because you cannot get root access on 1.85 without having CWM Recovery installed. The guy I replied to already unlocked his before upgrading so he needs to relock it to install 1.85
Okay I thought you had to be unlocked before uping to 1.85 because there is no root for now on 1.85 but if you have an unlocked boot then you can root through cwm..
There is alot of confusing info here. locked, unlocked rooted, relocked... I have a new phone, just activated it, want to unlock and root. I havn't done anything yet.
1) should I wait until official update, download update, then unlock, root?
2)root, unlock, flash ruu?
3) other
Thanks for any help

the latest leaked update 1.85 isn't rootable so if you want to unlock your bootloader and get in on that fun you should go ahead and do it rather than wait.

i'm still on 1.73 and looking to root only for the purpose of being able to install root-only apps, and not for the purpose of flashing custom roms. if you say that 1.85 isn't rootable, does this mean i should root before getting the update (whenever it becomes available from Rogers)? and if i do take this route, will the update unroot my phone?

1.85 is possible to root and Bootloader unlock. First root your phone ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167)
Then use this tool ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672284 ). That will unlock your bootloader and install SuperCID (that's why we do it, for SCID).
After unlocked, you must relock your bootloader, flash 1.85 RUU, then unlock again, flash cwm, and flash Superuser ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676101 ).
Good luck. It can happen, it's just a long process.

That method is incompatible with 1.85. You will receive an error when trying to root it with that.
I've read and googled everything i can and I'm honestly still very confused and need the communities help!
Just got myself the one x with ROGERS, and yes I'm on stock rom 1.73
I'd like to flash a custom ROM...simple enough but the process seems confusing.
Here's what i understand i should do so far..
1. since I'm already locked (bootloader locked) i can just flash to 1.85 RUU..
2. Once i somehow find a way to do that...i need to unlock the bootloader from htcdev.com
Install CWM..by one click or maybe the adb method..
3. Or was it root first and then CWM...??
4. Install ROM..if you can figure out the instructions on that..
I need some serious help..the most detailed instructions possible...
Cheers and i appreciate all the help i can get.

Skip the first step. 1.85 is unrootable at the moment so if you try and flash using the 1.85 RUU you're screwing yourself over for the latter steps. Use the One-Click Root (search for tut) and root your device on the 1.73. Then you want to do the rest.
I belive you are mistaken. I from 1.73 root and bootloader unlock can be achieved. Then fastboot oem lock through command line, flash 1.85, unlock the bootloader again, and flash cwm. then you can flash superuser and you have root on 1.85. Right now if you want to flash custom roms 1.85 base is the only option. There are threads in the development section with tools and instructions on how to do this process.

You cannot unlock your bootloader though without your phone being rooted, and if you update to 1.85 you're stripping away your root privileges. Maybe I'm mistaken, but that's how I've understood it.
This is exactly what I'm trying to avoid... all this confusion...

You can't directly unlock or root 1.85 yet, the only way you can is if you already have a super-CID from before you upgraded. Follow the tutorial on how to do that, then unlock your bootloader using HTC Dev, then flash your recovery with ClockWorkMod, then install SuperUser using ClockWordMod. That's the only thing that will work to get you what you want on 1.85

That's exactly what I said. It is a roundabout way to root, but it is the only way. And it works.

I am on stock unrooted and locked 1.85 with my AT&T HOX. I've been waiting
for a root method for 1.85.
I've asked this a couple of different ways, but I'm still confused.
Is there a way for me to get back to 1.82 or 1.73 using the HTC Boot menu Recovery - or any other way for that matter?
I can't use the RUU, because I am already on 1.85, and if I run the RUU for 1.73 or 1.82, it fails with a bootloader error.
If I can get back to 1.82 or 1.73, then I can follow the proper steps to get a rooted 1.85 back on my phone.
Thanks,
Mike

well... there is 0.000001% chance your device may came with s-off...
check that in bootloader....if it is s-off...then yes you can...if it is s-on...
then you need to wait for a way to get root.

Best way to root at this moment would be to unlock your bootloader using HTCDEV and flash TWRP recovery and then flash CleanRom 4.5 which will give you root as long as you kepp that rom on your phone. There could be other roms out there that will give you root access but I've flashed a few and CleanRom 4.5 was the only one that got me rooted. Until they come up with a way to perm root on 1.94 I suggest using this method.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can root with any ROM.
If you unlock and flash a recovery-
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
and you cant get it to boot the custom recovery heres the trick, after you flash the recovery type
