I just cant stand out with my U11 plus without Root anymore!
But I must unlock the bootloader to root and the only way is to do that is via htcdev ?
I get scared when I read all the warnings on htcdev that the warranties "can" (?) disappear etc..
Is there any other way to root so I dont need to go through htcdev?
Best regards/ David
I contacted the support, and they confirmed that unlock the bootloader will void the warranty.

Hey guys I've read on internet that you can root(xperia arc) the phone without unlocking the bootloader using Gingerbreak. Is that real? And if you root without unlocking bootloader, will you void anymore the warranty?
Hello all,
I'm sure most if not everyone are already aware that we can unlock our bootloader through htcdev website. The only problem with unlocking that way is when you try to lock the bootloader again for warranty repair or w/e reason, the phone will have the status of "RELOCKED" AND "tampered" .....In other words, your phone will never be like factory condition again once the bootlocker is unlocked. That also means that we have permanently voided the warranty of our phone.
does anyone know another way to unlock bootloader? or anyone heard of any new development regarding that matter?
Thanks in advance for any inputs.
there are way too many threads regarding this.. as of yet there is no other way to unlock bootloader than by htcdev
having relocked on your hboot does not void warranty... having tampered can, however running an ruu will get rid of it so dont worry
run an ruu and relock the bootloader and your warranty in intact

THank you for your response I was trying to figure this out when I was drunk, totally forgot that I posted this thread thanks again for your response!
Hi,
Which is the best option for unlocking the bootloader on this device?
Specifically, which will not void my warranty and allow me to re-lock if I need warranty work done for hardware failure?
Thanks in advance.
All SuperCid does is to make your phone generic (non american). It does not unlock your bootloader.
If you are not in the united states, congratulation---don't bother, just go to htc dev and unlock. Choose "all other supported devices" for your one x.
if you are in the US, supercid your phone, and then go to Htc Dev and do the same thing.
btw, you will need supercid to flash american ruu (.exe) if you are Canadian (that's what occurred to me, odd...)

Any currently available unlock is flagged by HTC and MAY void your warranty.
Hi, I bought my Moto G from Amazon.de. While planning to test it out and send it back in ~ 1-2 weeks, to buy the 16 GB version of it, I wanted to know, when the warranty is broken. By requesting the unlock code from Motorola or by actually unlocking the bootloader?
Since it's possible to relock the bootloader, will the warranty back or better: is it detectable, that the phone was unlocked?
It's quite a general question, since it applies to Motorola and HTC devices which also have to be unlocked by requesting a code from HTCDev
Well to be honest you can't void your warranty in the EU by simply unlocking the bootloader. So it depends where you live.
Link: Once you REQUEST!!! the unlock code, your warranty will be voided.
Since rooting the device voids the warranty, and now the only method to obtain root with 4.4 triggers the tamper flag, if one is going to root, is there any reason to NOT request a bootloader unlock code from Motorola?
And if the bootloader is unlocked via the request, does that essentially turn it into an non-warranty Dev phone? (ie would we then have the ability to roll back from 4.4 to 4.2?)

You can only get the unlock code if you have the dev edition. And if you do, unlocking the bootloader won't void your warranty.

Non dev vzw devices are not eligible to receive unlock codes.
