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.

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.

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.

If you have an international one x. Wrong forum.
If its just an unlocked ATT one x. You'll still be able to update. As for rooting 2.20 is not able to be rooted right now, maybe ever. So if you have it on a lower software you should leave it there.

Then there came a error with a error code 160. MID ERROR.
Well,then I read some materials and know that unlocking the phone need to root first...
Okay, now I have been totally confused with that.......
Anyone can tell me how to deal with that?
Oh, my version is 2.20.502.7 710RD.

If you really searched you would simply have to type HTC one x 2.20 root and find that it is unrootable yet
Hi lucentworld
You don't need root to get a custom rom onto your phone. Once you follow the HTCDEV instructions, then you can unlock the bootloader.
Once the bootloader is unlocked, the phone is unlocked to be able to put whatever custom recovery on it you want
Once you have a custom recovery installed then you can put whatever custom ROM on it you wish.
Just because 2.20 is unrootable, this means you cant get root on the standard ROM. But once the bootloader is unlocked, that ROM goes in the bin anyways.
The HTCDEV way DEFINITELY works. I did it on my sisters One XL telstra without rooting first, she was on the latest unrootable ROM.
Good luck

Thanks for your insult. Hope you get banned for your rudeness.
I did not know ATT blocked unlocking. Here in Australia, we don't have such anal carriers. I was able to unlock my sisters One XL by the HTCDEV way. I was simply mentioning the way that I achieved unlocking. Nice overreaction.
Damn, after reading the guides myself. It looks like you are pretty screwed if you have the ATT One X on that version. I was a bit thrown by the mention of One XL. Here in Aus, we have the One X (international tegra quad core) and the One XL (qualcomm dual core). Its a little less confusing, One X = quad core One XL = dual core. It seems in the states, you have ATT One X = dual core, Rodgers One XL, and International One X

Sorry I had to wake up to do hw and pretty tired...so both versions are in Australia? Why didn't you go with the tegra.?
seuppt hollow
LOL, no probs dude,
The Telstra ver. has LTE
And 3G coverage that covers most of the country
Vodafone, Optus and virgin are left with the One X (tegra)
I am happy with the performance and battery life of the One XL, the missus has a Tegra One X, and I really cant tell the difference. Both were just as hard to Root/Unlock
Good Luck OP :good:
So the only thing I can do is to wait for a method to root the 2.20?
Damn AT&T...00

Have been a long time loyalist to LG phones over the past 4 years but am getting frustrated at the trend of bootloader locks with at&t handsets. I originally owned the G1 Dream and then the HTC Desire HD from HTC back in their heyday... Both were great phones to tinker with for the rom enthusiast. I have not bought an HTC phone since, because I could not trust their flippant camera choices. I ordered the LG G6 and sold it for the t mobile model, only to discover it may be fully locked down for a while, even with the t mobile model (fastboot commands stripped from the handset for some reason).
Guess I'm looking for a next gen phone with a killer camera and ability to flash to stock Android roms when they're available. Who here knows if I can expect this phone to be fully available for bootloader unlock to TWRP and rom support? If not, I just may end up selling my phone and wait for the Pixel 2 to be released otherwise.

Bootloader unlock with HTCDev will definitely be available (except for some carrier variants). SunShine support for gaining S-Off might or might not materialize.

I agree its almost a given its gonna happen. Its just HTC's thing.
From HTC's website http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-u11-unlocked/
"The GSM Unlocked HTC U11 is the same great device as any HTC smartphone, but without unnecessary pre-loads or SIM restrictions. You'll experience more phone freedom than ever!
The GSM Unlocked edition on HTC.com allows you to pop in an activated SIM from the carrier of your choice* and change carriers at will, or to unlock the bootloader without voiding your warranty.
Your HTC warranty even covers bootloader unlocking on the HTC U11!
For more bootloader unlocking info, visit www.htcdev.com"
Also, there's been a working build of TWRP for this device for almost 2 months, so that shouldn't be a concern either .
Unfortunately you're going to have to find someone else to maintain it, though, since I can't afford to buy a U11.

Unlocked to put any SIM card you want, that's granted.
But, is there models that are bootloader unlocked out of the box ?

There are SIM-locked versions of U11 that are sold by carriers, Sprint for sure and maybe some EMEA carrier variants.
No version will be bootloader unlocked out of the box, but all (including carrier ones) will be bootloader unlockable through HTCDev. Usually, only Verizon / EE have their handsets blacklisted from HTCDev, but Verizon doesn't have its own version of U11, not sure about EE.

No there's no chance to brick using HTC Dev to unlock. Just choose the "All other supported models" option at the bottom of the list.
