Hi all,
I've just recently used the Z5 and wanted to try Lineage OS on it, but when I got the configuration info it is like this.
So does this mean there is no way that I can unlock the bootloader to flash a custom rom or is there a way around it?
Many thanks guys.

Hello All,
I just rooted my HTC One X (on ATT 1.85 software version). I have still not unlocked bootloader. I am looking for some good stable Sense based ROM since my wife is going to use the phone. I am also looking to have OTG and MHL support on the ROM. Can anyone suggest a ROM for this? I looked around and found that ElemantalX V3.0 has OTG support. Can anyone suggest me a ROM?
Additionally, do I need to unlock bootloader to flash a new ROM? What kind of precaution I should take while flashing? I am doing it on SGS2, so I know bsasics but not familier with the process.
Thanks,
Hey there! If you're looking for a close to stock experience I suggest clean Rom...and yes you need to unlock bootllader..with HTC its either bl unlock or s-off and we don't have s-off yet
You're either already unlocked and don't know it, or you're not really rooted. You can't root without unlocking first.
Thanks Guys,
I will check for unlock (may be I don't know and am unlocked). I used 1.85 one click unlock, but didn't use HTCDev.
I will also checkout CleanROM.
By the way are there any Jellybean roms? I wanted to have ability of transferring photos using NFC.
Thanks again.

With 1.85 and the one click you are not bootloader unlocked. You still have to go through HTC Dev. As for ROMs, if you are trying to stay close to stock then I would go with CleanROM also.

Yeah there are plenty of JB ROMs in the original android development section. But since you want sense ROMs I would suggest looking in the android development section, the top 2 ROMs there seem to be CleanROM and ViperXL. There is also a JB sense ROM but it is very unstable.

There is no bootloader unlock for this phone that's why you can't find it. All the information you need to get started flashing is in the development section. Most, if not all, ROMs have detailed instructions in the op of each thread. Basically you need root, a recovery app called Boot Menu Manager (or BMM for short) that is more like a boot hijack, the ROM zip you want to flash and some info on flashing an FXZ in case you get into trouble. Be sure to read the thread detailing how to use BMM successfully and follow the directions in the ROM thread as to which system(s) the ROM can be flashed on (you can multiboot up to 5 different ROMs with BMM). Be safe through reading/researching, have fun, and welcome to the community! :thumbup:
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
No.. We cant unlock bootloader.. Thats how we roll..XD.. But I think its a general.. Atrix 2 stuck with locked bootloader.. in development section.. Theres too many thread on custom Rom and how to install it.. Good luck..

Thanks guys, i was unsure about going about with the Atrix and you have directed me in the right direction

Looked around a bit and found out its virtually impossible to unlock the boot loader if you are Carrier Locked so now my question is can someone help me installing CWM on Xperia J Locked bootloader (ICS 4.04 / Firmeware 11.0.A.7.5). This is because whilst browsing the web I also found its possible to flash ROMs that are based on stock ROMs which is the only reason I rooted in the first place!
Thanks in Advance,

Hmm, i think you can't because your bootloader is locked. :silly:
so how am i meant to flash a rom? My phones well slow
Found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/tipo-clockworkmod-t2003069/ Would it work or what?
And if so how do I make sure a ROM is compatible with this CWM
Can someone post the download link for the xperia j Znxt Rom ive looked through the first few pages but cant find it?

I recommend you to flash AlienRom. Its compatible with locked bootloader. Just follow the instruction how to install it. Also the rom doesnt have custom kernel inside, so just flash the stock kernel after you install the rom.
