I'm curious as to why everyone is so willing to use HTC dev to unlock their bootloader as opposed to wait/find for third-party solutions that don't compromise your rights to solid hardware?

Because I can't wait and so far I have no problem with Htc Centre for warranty claims for both my One V and there is no problem yet for my One X to send in to Htc Centre.
Boredem?
Like anything if you change your suspension on a car it invalidates some warranty . I did it because I wanted to enjoy my new one x. Y wait if something is already there.

This way is a fair contract between HTC and the user. That´s why i prefer HTC Dev. I know about the risks. If one rom damages my device, i have to take responsibility, like for all, i´ve decided in my life. I won´t hide me behind a bush
I unlocked with htcdev because my phones insured, if anything goes wrong I'll just make a claim saying I've lost it

Well, why not right? They already gave us one free step which can also be reverted.

Because my phone is from 3UK, so was only one choice to use HTC Dev and I unlocked bootloader. For me it was very easy and simple task.

Hi guys,
I bought a One x a couple of days ago. I had a htc Desire before, my question is are there root posibilities like using a Windows program to root? If not will be there a program to root the One x without needing to unlock it with the site of HTC.

Unlocking is only possible by using htcdev at the moment

Thats what i mean. Now you have to unlock the phone using htcdev. But will there be another method to unlock the One X? Because of the warranty issue using htcdev.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium App
I've been thinking of warranty issues as well. I'll wait a bit more, maybe someone releases a root method not involving HTCDev, but I believe it's quite unlikely. Let's hope when they get S-OFF, they won't be needing the HTCDev unlock to do it
Hi all.
So I recently upgraded from an HTC Inc S to my shiny new One X. I bought an unlimited license for HTC Locations Navigation on my Inc S as I use navigation very often for work etc.
Yesterday I emailed [email protected] with my old and new IMEI numbers thinking that a perpetual license should be transferable to a new device. Well, that turned out to be wrong. Naieve of me to think so looking back.
They replied this morning saying that's "not possible". Bulls**t, not possible... I get their reasons, just think it's a bit greedy.
Just thought I'd let people know if they were considering a perpetual license that it's non-transferable.

it is , or at least was between several dhds that i had, i haven't got round to it for one x yet, but if they refuse ill be going after refund!
Did you try writing to htc to see if they will help?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Licence transfer is done by HTC support. Just contact them, they transferd mine (licence from a HTC Desire running a custom Rom) to my new One X without problems.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Agree with kdsone above. I transferred my perpetual licence from my DHD, through two One S' and again on to my current One X. Drop an email to HTC through their website support. Took about 48 hours to all go through from memory.

Similar experience. I brought my device for servicing and the board was changed due to some defects and caused a change if IMEI. route66 was not being helpful and htc support immediately took action when I sent them a "complain" email..

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.

If all else fails invest in a couple of guitar plectrums and take the whole screen out, then reseat it. Plenty of YouTube vids showing how to do this.

I am really tempted to upgrade, however I keep telling myself that if I just let my 2 year contract expire, the phones that will be out in that time will be a lot better then the one.

I was really very tempted to get HOX when it got announced last year which I of course bought. Somehow I don't feel that about ONE. I guess that's because I am completely happy with my HOX, and prefer the way it looks comparing to the one. Not planning to upgrade anytime soon and the reason is not that I can't afford

There is a developer model available, ships SIM free with bootloader unlocked, I'm not 100% sure that it will be s-off but it does say fully unlocked, no mention about warranty but it seems there trying hard to give the community they want.

I would have seriously considered it, but i feel it is going to be let down badly by the camera.
Guess i will wait & see what the inevitable refresh of the design will be. (who said One+):laugh:
No. I have the hox.
No more HTC unless they remove their crappy implementation of s-off and locking bootloaders.
The only way I'll ever go back to HTC is if they make another nexus device. Barring that....I'll stay with Samsung (I have an s3 as well, as you can see by my tapatalk sig

tempted about the One, im not a big fan of sense 5 but the phone definately looks slick... and we 'should' get s-off since it's qualcomm and not tegra.
I think that the s4 has more to offer. But my pick would be the nexus 5

apart from the battery and the camera i dont think the s4 has got that much more.. good looking device but i think the alluminium unibody of the One is nicer. and probably most of the people here prefers sense over touchwiz. indeed two top specs phones!
definitely tempted with One. Also signed up for the supposely $100 rebate from HTC. Who knows...I might buy the One to get the rebate and sell it hopefully at a higher price. :fingers-crossed:...unless I decide to keep it

Don't try it, does not work. There is no method to s-off your tegra hox. Only certain shops can provide the service but you have to pay them, pay them a visit or send your phone in !
The article is a year old, don't you think xda would not have been exploding on how to s-off the hox with all sorts of info !
Even latest methods like rum runner won't work. A bit of searching would have brought you to numerous threads about this....
