If I root to try and fix some of my problems and it doesn't fix them. Would I be able to return to Amazon?
Would they check?

Cant say for sure, but, I definitely would not try to fix it myself it I wanted to return it. They will think you broke it in the first place in much the same way that if you buy a TV that didn't work, then took it apart to see if you can fix it, put it together again and then asked for a refund/replacement.
In both cases I am sure they will say "Sorry, but you voided the warranty."
Just my view or do you all agree?

I kind of agree and understand what you mean mate, but what I was meaning was... Would Amazon actually check to see of its been bootloader unlocked?
Thanks

The company who sold your phone on amazon would probably check. Well I would if I had a phone returned. I would also check for evidence if it had been dropped then I would refund after.
I'm only guessing, but, it's not worth the risk if you think you might want to return it

I need to return my One X to Amazon as it has a long list of faults but I was just wanting to see what a Rooted one x was capable of first, so I was wondering if they would check this or not?

Yep, i returned my first HOX, they didn't care and sent me a new one, after this one was faulty, too, I sent it back to get my money refunded, the didn't care either
After this I bought a new one on Amazon, which is faulty too -.- haha, however, I'm going to send this back at the end of the 30-day replacement period. ALL of my HOX were/are HTC-Dev unlocked. The first one actually was even bricked XD
So go for it mate, they don't care!

you're welcome!
seems there is something wrong with the white One X from Amazon UK, it was taken off the shelf...
I have a one x two year contract with Vodafone UK. Correct me if I am wrong but if my phone goes faulty within the contract period is it Vodafones responsibility to repair/replace it. For this reason is it not likely that the boot loader will never be checked for locked/unlocked status, hence it is safe to htcdev unlock

And if they send it back to HTC to be repaired? I read on the Vodafone forums that they did sometimes. Also they will be quite aware of HTCdev unlock. Its a right get out for them to use along with their favourite "water damage" excuse. Ive unlocked mine but i wont send it back if i have a problem, ill use my insurance.
from my experience with the one x and vodaphone staff they wouldnt have a clue one of them told me to to a system reboot and then i would need to connect it to a pc as she had wiped the rom i said oh thanx for the help and hung up not very savy when it comes to the one x defo not

phone support staff are not the same as tech/repair staff. vodafone may even send it to a subcontractor/htc for repair or further tests who would be capable of checking such things

Its with my bank now and ive not used them yet. It used to be with Vodafone and they used to just replace with a new handset if it was beyond repair.
I´ve been reading, how to root, and it says you will lose, alter CID, so that´s an easy way to check if you unlocked the bootloader..
My question is, locking it again and run the RUU will get the original CID back?
And if so htc will not know it´s was unlocked in the first place?
thanks
Only problem is that it will say relocked rather than locked. There was someone who managed to get it back to locked apparently

I just decided to go for it and ditch the warranty. If I bricked the phone, there are loads of ways to fix it on here.
My only worry is I'd bring it to Vodafone and they would notice the CoreDroid custom icons.

In the 1st 6 months the seller must prove you caused the fault before denying a remedy. After 6 months its vice-versa
Unless they can demonstrate unlocking caused any issues, you're covered by the Sales of Goods Act

If it is under warranty, go to your nearest VZW store. They should hook you up with a replacement.

If they say no, then replacing it yourself is really easy. It took me 10 mins including reassembly.

I have the same problem. Luckily Verizon is sending me a new one under warranty. Seems this phone is more easily susceptible to that than my moto phones I had.
I have posted this in Q&A twice and no help, so forgive me for wrong section.
My One X has a very weird issue that no matter what I can't find anyone who has it. It has a screen flex on the right side, but if I press on the side or something else does, the phone shuts off. The only way to turn it on after this is to plug it into the wall. HTC wouldn't take it because of the bootloader. I just would like to know if there is anyway possible to fix this. I can't even put a case on the device because doing so cause the phone to turn off in my pocket.

The only thing you could do is to take it apart and search for the problem and then eventually replace the defected part
If you have the AT&T version, you'd be better off in that forum, this is for the Tegra version.
I'm.sure the States has consumer protection law, it's clearly a hardware defect. Put stock ROM and whatever else on it and insist your retailer deal.with the problem.

HTC has international warranty, but not sure it if covers US or not.
I can have a warranty in Turkey for devices which are bought in the EU. Better check with HTC support.

The warranty for all HTC devices is as thekillingroad mentioned is "INTERNATIONAL" and should cover the US as well. I had a problem with mine as well, a different one, but if it wasn't for the warranty provided by the carrier I've bought the device from I would've sent it in service under HTC's warranty.
You just have to contact HTC CS and they'll tell you the procedure you have to follow.
I wasn't satisfied with the quality of the repair my device received as it came back with more defects the than it was sent in with and contacted them by phone and afterwards got a complete replacement.
My advice: don't even hesitate to give them a call.
Best of luck.

Hi guys, after having a faulty Note 3 for about a month I have requested a new phone from Tmobile.
They have promised me a "Like New" device, not refurbished.
But I do not really trust them, I have a feeling like even my phone is not new.
I know that there must be a way to check if my phone is new or refurbished. I have 4.3 android installed.
All the standard codes do not work ... ##786# etc .... can anyone help? Maybe point me to some app?
P.S.
Nova launcher did not help either.
Thank you.
after a month, yes you're getting a refurbished device. new exchange is 14 days or less, everyone knows that. stop worrying if its refurbished, if it works better than your last one then all is fine... just focus on testing the replacement and make sure that it works for you. if it works fine then move on. its a refurbished replacement. its replacing your damaged device.
it'll be fine

My whole question is how to test the new device ....
Just regular check ... ? Or maybe there is some kind of an app.
And I do not think its fair that I should get a refurbished device if I received a bad one since day one.
No app can test a phone like fully. It is under warranty. Plus you won't have it long enough. Just enjoy it

Bastards sent me a refurb phone, basically i lost 400 bucks in value for nothing.
Also it has a minor scratch on the screen and the S-Pen doesnt get out without a fight. I have requested another one.
NEVER WILL I BUY PHONES ONLINE.
any phone you get from tmobile from exchangers are going to be refurbs. I got one but I'm not complaining. This refurb is better than my new one. No more Unstable wifi. And it can handle being uv so much better
Also all the S pens are hard to get out. It will get easier over time.
As for the scratch call and *****. They will replace it

I wonder if I got a refurb when I bought my note from mobile. I had an issue with the phone not wanting to boot after pulling the battery and replacing. I didn't notice this until months after. I recently left tmobile for straight talk so I couldn't take it back to them. So I decided to send into Samsung even though I tripped Knox. They fixed it (according to the service website) and its on its way back. I'll test out out to make sure, then sell it.
