I follow all root how to but fail due to permission denied error.
People say you can unlock bootloader without being rooted.
But all unlocking how to, state that phone must be rooted.
I have XL, 1.88.
Can anyone confirm that I can unlock bootloader without being root initially?
You have to be rooted. Sorry.

Not entirely true. You need to be rooted on AT&T, since BL unlock is not officially offered for us and we need to change the SuperCID.
Not sure if this is the case with SingTel. Most carriers are allowed to unlock their BL officially. If HTC offers the bootloader unlock for that carrier CID, you do not need root. And root is easily achieved after BL unlock (just install a custom recovery and flash SU).

Sorry. Unfamiliar with other carriers. Plus, I never saw the One X in the list on the dev site at all. Has it changed? Or, are you saying that some carriers don't lock the bootloader at all? I wonder why AT&T even cares about locking it down.
If your phone is NOT on AT&T, you can unlock the bootloader with HTCDev.com
That means you do NOT i repeat NOT need root.
Just choose "All other supported phones" in the list of phones.

To everyone else: The singtel phone has the tegra 3 chip, not ours

I lol'd at this. No offense taken. Actually, you are quite correct. I've been unhappy in general with AT&T, but not much of a choice is available. Glad we had that break-up of Ma Bell so long ago because of deregulation. Sounds like we need that again.

Are you sure? It is listed as a HTC One XL with LTE coverage and their firmware works on everyones S4 phones.
Where is your info coming from that the phone isnt a S4??
To add facts:
Singtel previously offers both: HTC one X and HTC one XL (LTE).
Now, I think Singtel only offers One XL.
Singtel 4G Network Just about 3 months old.
BTW, I successfully Unlock Bootloader and gain root upon Rom Flashed.
I encountered no trouble at all. And did the following:
. follow HTCdev literally
. flash TWRP recovery image using fast boot flash command
. flash custom rom zip file thru TWRP
=) +1 rooted HOXL

Did you make a TA backup before unlocking? If so, restore it and you'll be fine.

Then I'm not sure if it can be locked with the usual methods - you should ask the person who unlocked it for you.

good afternoon
I wonder if ja is possible and if possible how to unlock bootloader using kitkat

If your bootloader unlock say Yes then you can. My suggestion is to use official Sony's unlocking
Good Luck.

So i bought myself a M2 and managed to unbrand it from EE but after looking into rooting etc i see my boatloader is locked and can not be unlocked is there anyway around this as i found a Lollipop rom [levelof.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/upgradeupdate-xperia-m2-to-50-lollipop.html?m=1] i would like to try
Cheers

What you just posted is the same thing as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-developement-t2971213
Is the phone sim locked? If it is, you need to sim unlock it in order to unlock the bootloader. Debranding just removes bloatware
Thanks David I would guess it's sim locked due to me buying from ee cheers

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration". If there is:
Bootloader unlock allowed - No << this means that your Bootloader is Locked and can't be unlocked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes or root << this means that your bootloader is unlocked
Also If X is on NETWORK and value is different than 0, you can unlock your phone. If it is 0 unlock by code is NOT possible.
Thanks I have [X] Network 5 so looks like I need to get a sim unlock code too
