Bootloader/Custom Recovery question

Hi, I've read and searched about rooting or unlocking a refurbished phone should be okay to do, i just want to know for sure if I will be okay. My one x is refurbished and would like to know if I can install viper Rom with no troubles, will I be able to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery? I just want to be safe

Re: Root question
Depends if you get an att refurbished phone with 3.18 update installed. If you did you can't root.

Well I miss lead on my title, I'll change that in a minute, yes I'm on 3.18 and would that hinder me from unlocking bootloader?

Is it an AT&T phone?
If so, you can't unlock the bootloader, and thusly you cannot root.

Yeah :/ it's at&t lol so I guess I'll have to wait to do this. But if and when I do, should I run into any problems being that I now own a Refurbished phone?

The fact that it's refurbished has no bearing over whether or not it's rootable.

The main point of the question was if I should or shouldn't... If they didn't reset the bootloader or main circuit board I can end up with another brick. That's what I'm trying to avoid this time

[Q] New to HTC One S

hello everybody! ive had a iphone for about 2 months now and couldnt take it anymore so i just bought a htc one s! i want to root it but i want to make sure i know everything that need to be done. i see the videos and the step by step processes but i have a few questions. every tutorial i see looks to be done on ics. i bought the phone and it was already on android 4.1.1. do the tutorials still apply? also when i plug my phone into my laptop it doesnt have the charge only/ sd mount (or whatever its says) like it does on ics version....it just says usb connected and wen i tap that it goes into hotspot and tethering options. it is a htc one s S4 so can someone please help me? thanks

You can still unlock boot loader the same way. To get s-off go through the development section till you find moonshine s-off
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app

Ok now what exactly does s off do and do I have to do it in order to root?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

No you don'tHAVE to do it. All you have to do is unlock boot loader. S-off just allows you to flash whenever you want. If your s-on you have to flash the boot.IMG from the rom.zip through adb

Oh ok. So how do I go by rooting this thing when I'm on android 4.1.1

You can use hasoon2000's toolkit to unlock the boot loader then install a recovery

You don't necessarily have to s-off except for certain things. If you want to flash custom ROMs, can be accomplished even without S-Off

There are these ROMs TrickDroid and zenROM. Sense 5 based. Head over to the Development section you'll find them there. Read the requirements for flashing the ROMs. If it says S-Off is a must only then should you go for it. Otherwise no need.

It's not that difficult. Also try non-sense ROMs like CM 10.1, ILLUSION 2.0 by $droyd$ (very good and stable ROM), PACman ROM.

Moonshine is the fastest and safest way to s-off. The script runs itself and tells you of something is wrong.
Btw. Beanstalk? I hope you mean Jellybean.

You could try running a stock custom Rom or download a ruu and do moonshine and no if your phone is listed in moonshine you won't have to supercid for s-off

Based on your hboot, radio and being on t-mo, i guess you're most probably have to use moonshine to s-off..

anyone willing to help me achieve this

Facepalm should do it. Just carefully follow the instructions in the OP and you'll have s-off in no time. The instructions are fairly simple, you just have to copy and paste all the commands to avoid issues from misspelling..

I'm having trouble installing Elemental-X

I am running kickdroidXL on my at&t hock, and everytime I try installing Elemental-x, I can't not boot past HTC's splash screen. I've tried all default settings, and none work. I'm currently on whatever firmware the 3.18 ruu comes with.

Interesting, you'd be the first person to not experience signal loss on a Sense 5 ROM without upgrading your firmware. You could try updating your TWRP to the 2.6 version, see if that helps.

If I can chime in here. It looks like he's not even able to fully boot into the ROM after installing the kernel. I haven't used Elemental before. Does it have an aroma installer with different setting options?
Also looks by not having service he means that he is only using the phone via WiFi for apps and such.

Yeah it does and you're right. I can't boot past the HTC quietly brilliant splash screen. I've changed every setting possible and it simply won't boot.
