Vzw HTC m8 r blocked from htcdev.com so you can't unlock using that. So you need s-off to be able to be unlocked an root.
Go here. http://theroot.ninja/
An download their app run it an see if the can s-off your phone. If your phone is compatible for sunshine to work. Then you will be prompted to pay the 25 dollar fee which is well worth every penny.
If it can't s-off your phone you need to wait till they release their next version.
Ok it work and I paid my 25 dollars what do I do next

You are now s-off an unlocked. Now you need to flash twrp recovery so you can gain root. Do you have fast boot setup on your PC?
It's all good we all was noobs at one point lol

I hear that the rogers version of the htc one x is able to have its bootloader unlocked using htcs unlock tool.
Is this true?
Want to make sure before I go grab this beautiful phone.
Sure but unlock the boot loader, and root what then?
Run Titanium Backup? big deal.
Until the AT&T ONE X can have it's boot loader unlocked, CWM boot loader there will be no cool ROMs.
where all the canadian rom makers at?

There's about 10x more people in the US, so yea...
wish to see S-OFF soon... good for both canadian and american
Yes...if you have a rogers htc one x(xl) you can go to htcdev to get unlocked and s-off
confirmed

Care to back that up with a picture? HTCdev does NOT do S-OFF.
EDIT: Added a picture of my bootloader. You can clearly see at the top that although my bootloader's unlocked, I still have S-ON.
ANOTHER EDIT: I just noticed my bootloader reports the date as being April 2nd. Anyone else have the wrong date in their HBOOT? Or maybe that's not the current date, but the date which the HBOOT was built or flashed.
Its the date of the hboot creation

I'm just wondering as to the status of gaining root access on the AT&T 2.20 update. I just bought my HOX via a third party, and it came with 2.20, so right now I'm SOL.
I know ETA's don't typically exist, but will creating a bounty help move this along?

Bump
Hopefully someone finds an exploit because I want to install a custom rom so badly!
:crying:
There's nothing to report. My gut feeling is we will need to be granted sanctioned bootloader unlock to get root again.

sorry I'm not so good with rooting. Does that mean that we need htc to let us unlock our bootloader so we can install a rooted android os?

Yes or someone needs to find a new exploit for the new 2.20 to allow root.

Yes. At the very least we need unlocked bootloader in order to install a custom recovery so we can install root.
I found this just a moment ago. I have no clue if these would work though.

Lol that rom is from one of our devs it's his website the rom is in the dev section its a rooted version of the update without the hboot. It does no good to anyone who took the ota that was locked and had no root prior to doing so.

If you have a retail outlet around you (i.e. Best Buy, etc.), you can do what I did. Return the new phone and buy one from old shelf stock. If they received it before August then it's guaranteed to have firmware of 1.85 or older.
This is really bad!
any news or updates about being able to root 2.20? I have a HOX on 2.20 and i'm wondering if I should just sell it or wait

Depends in what hboot you have. If its 1.2+ the you will have to use jupuntobear to s-off. If you have 1.8- the use revolutionary to s-off. You can use htcdev to get an unlocked boot loader but you run the risk of losing your warranty. If I was you I would follow one of the jupuntobear guides by ganeship (I think that's him) but use the one that does not have htcdev unlock first. Once you are s-off you can use the super tool to root or flash a custom rom

Check your software, if it's running 2.20 there is no root. if your lucky enough to have 1.85 you can root.

You cannot root as you are on 4.0.4.
Also a bit of searching can help A LOT.

I plan on rooting a friends Inspire 4g and I was wondering which method should I use to root the phone? I understand there are 2 different ways. It's an HTC Inspire 4g 2.3.5 with the build number 3.20.502.52 cl380259. I can't seem to find any recent ways to find out how to do this except this on here:
http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=88
Is that the only way to do it now? I have experience with rooting. I've rooted 2 HTC arias in the past along with a moto back flip and atrix 2, so I do have rooting and flashing experience. Im just trying to get some more info before doing this. Thanks for any and all help.
Yes, you would need to do it that way for S-Off. You could also unlock the boot loader with HTCDEV only, but you will be S-On and get fewer options that way.

Well I plan to only flash one rom on this device and never mess with it again. Preferably CM9/10. I don't plan on messing with different roms after that. So if I root using HTCDEV, will I be able to flash one of those ROMS?
Yes. You will need to fastboot flash boot.img separately after the ROM.

Then you don't have an unlocked bootloader. You are S-OFF, which means that the nand partition security is off now. That allows you to flash anything you want...much better than an unlock bootloader only.

So if I just root and have S-OFF without having an unlocked bootloader, I can flash any ROM of my choosing? That seems like it's the best way to go or the easiest at least. Could you give me or mind PM'ing me the AAHK that you used Jrhodes?

Yes. If http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=88 applies read it. If not just use AAHK from the same site. I don't know anything about how the GS3 is unlocked. The link in my signature (to the thread in the DHD forums, which is the international variant of the same phone) will help.
