Chinese HTC One X to UK RUU?

Hey guys i bought an HTC One X from a seller on craigslist. The phone was purchased from China (i think). Although i can change the language and keyboard to English, i cant help but wonder if its possible to flash my phone to the UK ROM
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251208_signed
If so, will it break anything? Any pre-cautions i should take before hand? Im in the US and use the phone on AT&T. Thanks!

Tried that 2 seconds after unpackaging the phone No new software found.

[edit]Ignore this post. Thought serialtoon had this version instead of wanting this version[/edit]
I don't think it is a retail One X purchased in China. 1.26.401.2 is generic European version IIRC. You don't need to do anything with it. You're fine just using that version and should get updates before any of the carrier branded versions.

I've included the version of the ROM I'm on right now.

Ahh. I thought you were on that version now. Sorry. Misunderstood what you were asking.
At the moment, all you can do is unlock the bootloader at htcdev and flash a custom firmware. You can't apply an official HTC firmware or change the baseband firmware as the bootloader is still in S-ON mode.
Once/if somebody does work out how to put the bootloader in S-OFF mode then you can alter the CID and reflash it with an official US or European One X firmware.

Re-lock bootloader
Hi guys!
I just got my one x today, and i really want to root it and install some roms on it. I know that you lose your warranty by unlocking the warranty and rooting it. But if you re-lock the bootloader and unroot it. Will you "get back" your warranty, can HTC see that I unlocked my bootloader prior to that?

If you root your phone with htcdev you loose your warranty permanently...

HTC can see that it's been unlocked; the bootloader will show 'relocked' rather than 'locked'.

Slightly different topic:
I bought my phone unlocked. Near as I can tell, the bootloader has always said *** unlocked *** at the top since I purchased it. I honestly don't remember for sure.
I did go through the process of using htcdev to 'root' it anyway to try out some ROMs. So, it definitely says unlocked now for sure.
I'm going through the process of returning it to stock now. If I relock, isn't it going to say "relocked" instead of unlocked? Is it even possible that my phone came saying unlocked?

Some clarifications on warranty after re-locking the bootloader

Hi guys!
My OneX has an hardware fault, the WiFi antenna doesn't work properly, so I need to send it back to the repair centre, but I've got some questions first:
- I've got the Nandroid Backup of the stock ROM and the stock recovery, so I can get everything back to stock. After the flash, the bootloader will say "re-locked" instead of "locked", right?
- If I send the phone with everything stock, but the bootloader is "re-locked", will be the warranty voided? I think no, just because this fault came from the HTC directly, it's not a damage from something I did wrong or from the rooted ROMs...
What do you think about this guys? Help me, I'm really frustrated of this kind of fault...

There is a big chance that (99%) they will not fix.
Unfortunately it is voided. I know what are you thinking but it is...
You will have to pay to fix it.
And yes, it will show re-locked and they will charge you for the phone transportation and work done in it (?).
But....... you can always try to fix yourself (cheaper) that sending it to HTC.
I will try when(if) mine starts showing off this.

Since its a hardware fault.. there is a possibility they may fix this.

But if it's their fault, why do I have to pay for someone's fault?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I've just restored my One X to stock, even with the recovery. When I turned on my phone, it asked me to upgrade the fw to the 4.0.1 and the Sense to 4.0. I did it. After the reboot, I thougt: "And now my bootloader will be locked, right?" So, I went into the bootloader, but it was Locked again... So, I relocked it with "fastboot oem lock". And now it's relocked...
Now, my question is: If I re-restore my stock backup now, and I'll re-do the official update to 4.0.1, will be the bootloader locked, or it'll be always "relocked"?
Please, aswer me, this hardware fault makes me mad! =.=

If it's an hardware problem they'll fix it,if it's software I would count on getting it fixed for free.
Anyway, unlocked bootloaders and warranty loss are only related in software issues.

So I can send the phone even with the relocked bootloader? The problem is the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688538 , so it's a production fault, it's not a software problem...

Another question... When the RUU will be released, I'll use it for updating the phone, will the bootloader be "Locked" or "Relocked"?

You need to relock it to install RUU, after relock, it will say RELOCKED.
You might be better off taking it to your retailer and relying on consumer protection laws rather than HTC warranty.

There are only hardware solutions [which don't make a lot of sense for a common end user]. lg(e) tool & riff box both offer methods for s-off on gsm one v. A local repair shop might have one of these tools. I have a riff box, but that doesn't do many ppl very good. No soft-unlock; I agree with previous posters there.

Sure, as soon as I get cdma support for same.. I carry a Virgin Mobile [as of today].
The sticky part is you have to have a jtag tool.. found out medusa box also supports htc one v. Then, possibly even more sticky, you have to disassemble your phone and use testpoint to disable your emmc. Lots of people have totally screwed their phones not following that hairy step.. The rest is quite easy should you have and read your respective jtag support literature.

I totally agree with you. S-OFF really is not needed unless you're a true developer. And by that I mean, unless you are wanting to look at and tweak your bootloader and/or radio.. why does one even need S-OFF? The HTC unlock should work just fine for 95% or more of the people out there. Those that dare to need more... they'll just have to pay to play [or take that risk].

Rob

CDMA ver should got S-OFF , GSM yet no S-Off yet.
S-OFF is super useful for who want to do custom rom/kernel without breaking the warranty because you can unlock BL without via HTC unlock and lock BL again at anytime when you want to send it back to HTC service centre.

1) GSM is supported T320e PK7610000 by riff box, lg(e) tool, medusa, and possibly others; CDMA is not PK7630000.

2) S-Off voids your warranty the same as HTC unlock. Talk to anyone who ever used the xtc-clip, and see how easy it is to S-On after S-Off.
You can customize both roms and kernels with HTC unlock. The only restraints are as I mentioned before: your stuck on latest bootloader and radio cannot be tampered with [or switched to another carrier]. That's pretty much it. The differences in a nutshell.

Companies, including HTC, do make a limited number of S-off devices [typically for qualcomm developers or the carrier development teams]. These have occasionally been shipped out in error to regular customers. It is like finding a golden easter egg though, not typical. In those rare cases HTC might take phone back [to save face since ultimately was a shipping error] but typically s-off will void a warranty. Truthfully though, if you have a s-off device, one would rarely need to utilize warranty. 99% of issues out there can be fixed with software [patches, replacing binaries, kernels, etc.] Only time warranty is needed is when hardware fails; which, hasn't happened to me ever i the many devices I've owned.
Rob
Only hardware faults I've seen with this particular model [HTC One V] are bad/fried emmc chips and/or bad resistor from emmc. These typically come from people that have tried to defeat the emmc write protection [purposefully or unwittingly]. Unfortunately, this is why with these devices test point must be used [which shorts the emmc disabling the write protection] or indeed hardware damage could occur to your device [if your determined to try but attempt to write w/o disabling the write protection]. Do I believe many will actually partially disassemble their phone for s-off? Nope. Will I still work on and publish [safe] method if I can? Yep. Hardware failures on this device are denoted by dropping into qhsusb_dload mode [w/o invoking it properly through test point].

I don't know GSM got S-OFF now. Can you give me the link?
However, I don't fully agree S-OFF voids warranty as HTC said the only way to loss warranty is via HTC Lock Website and they can have an official record about you agree to loss the warranty. There are little devices ship with S-OFF. HTC doesn't willing to repair them?
One more stuff about S-OFF. You can flash the rom with kernel together in recovery mode and don't need to flash the kernel via fastboot separately.

S-Off used to void warranty.. there used to be [probably still is] a checksum in bootloader.. you call a htc repair shop for rma and they will request you boot the phone to bootloader, run the test, and read them the numbers. That test tells if a device has been tampered with, and in my experience, s-off devices couldn't get RMAs ::shrug::
Ok links are to hardware tools [which cost money] but can s-off gsm devices:

Thanks for your links.
But with S-OFF, you can remove the tampered status in bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357624
I read it here from HTC One. You can even change it back to S-ON before you send it to HTC service center.

tampered flag not the same as checksum test, but yep [once s-off] should be able to remove tampered flag.
Some S-off solutions can S-on; Some cannot. For hope in the matter, always run a full dump [preferably on a clean, factory reset device] before you s-off.

[Q] Urgent Need to revert back to stock for warranty service

I made a Nandroid backup before unlocking the bootloader
Please guide me through the process
specs:-
cid-11111111
hboot-1.36
s-off

U can't get completely to stock. You have to install your main version RUU after locking the bootloader, but u will face the problem where the bootloader says 'relocked' instead of 'locked'
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

So will I be able to get warranty service or not

I don't think so dude.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Can anyone else confirm this fact?

You can easily return to stock and run any ruu because you have s-off
with s-off you can also LOCK the bootloader instead of relocked, so lock it and send it for warranty

Depends on what is the problem with Your HOX. If they need to replace Your motherboard then You gonna pay for it. HTC official policy... I'm from Poland and I sent it for repair 3 times. Everytime they needed to replace motherboard. And they did it two times even with relocked bootloader (don't know why, maybe they always repair phones with broken autorotation? common issue with hox. coz it was the case with first and second repair). 3rd time I got problem with screen backlight and bang - ~$300 . I tried contacting with HTC Poland and HTC Taiwan but same answer. If bootloader was unlocked and motherboard needs to be replaced You need to pay for it. Any other issue with any other part and they fix it for free. So hard to tell really. You may be lucky What is Your issue with HOX? You may also consider burning down the motherboard... They will not be able to tell if You had bootloader unlocked... But it's kinda cheating... I just read somewhere that some dude did it and they replaced his motherboard for free

An s-off hox also can show relocked only.
