Just received my One X after sending it back for repair after flashing a bad rom and my phone would no longer charge.Just been returned to me today and they have relocked the bootloader.Unable to check if its the same phone I sent in for repair until I get the sim reactivated.
Check the IMEI, easiest way
Does it say 'Relocked' or 'Locked'?
All my packaging at home will do that tonight.
Did you had to pay any additional costs for repairing? Want to send mine for the wifi fault, but it's unlocked and rooted as well.

I think HTC can give you a new MOBO with your old IMIE
Just says locked where it used to say unlocked.

I contacted HTC told them HOX was now longer charging did not relock the bootloader but removed all roms and backups they arranged collection/return foc,but did have it 2 weeks.
Sounds like they replaced the mainboard, and you can check the IMEI without the SIM card. Just boot the phone and go to Settings>About phone>Phone Identity
Or call *#06#
At work until 6pm will check when I get home all packaging still at home.
IMEI number has changed but serial number is the same.Inserted sim card nothing,onto Vodafone website to try to activate it and has to go to a store just been to store tried several cards no joy.Called HTC collection arranged for tomorrow.Worse phone I have ever had,selling when I get it back.
Naughty HTC.... how could they do that ... ??? ... ???

The first repair they have changed the motherboard thats why they have changed the IMEI number,I have emailed them to say I want a replacement handset but they have not replied to this.
HTC 'dun goofed, they should've also kept the same IMEI.
I think this handset is now defective and believe I should be entitled to a replacement not repair after repair.
You can also Check the imei without having your Phone on, just Check the sim-tray

Hi, i have lost my phone, believe its stolen. Is it possible for me to remotely wipe data or logout my facebook and google?
Anyway to locate it through GPS?
Last but not least, any good recommendations for a alternate cheap phone? Like maybe HTC one V?

Change all your passwords at least; it won't log you out but if whoever has it tries to access your account(s) it should ask them for the new password instead of just opening straight up.
Change all passwords
I can help you listen.
Your phone can be track through your phone's IMEI number. Just complaint about your lost phone to a police station or to the phone's company. No matter if a person change your lost phone's SIM card, your phone will located through IMEI number.

You have to report as stolen they will give a crime number then go to your network they will block the phone, will never be able to connect to a mobile network.

Depends where you are. In the UK it's standard practice (report a phone stolen to your provider and they'll blacklist the IMEI so it can't be used on a mobile network). In the US I think it's less standard and will depend on your carrier. Elsewhere in the world I've no idea. It's something they can do, you'd have to check whether yours does.
I bet almost any phone carrier will try to track your phone through its IMEI

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

What insurance do you use. Do they repair, send a cheque, or replace the handset

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

I'm just a little confused about what he says. Sorry.
his phone is blacklisted so basicaly if ur phone is stolen r that u can get it blocked. the term "expensive paperweight" comes to mind lol. changing the imei number or trying to is illegal as the link above shows.

Well strange thing happened. Received my SIM card replacement and when inserted in to the phone it asked me if want to install latest settings and services, so I hit yes and phone restarted and all my widgets were gone. Basically it somehow reverted to factory preset. Now, is it possible,that operator can "manage" the phone via SIM?

hi - i have a htc one x locked to orange uk, its totally original phone and never has never been rooted or modded before, i purchased an unlock code and the seller is 100% sure thats its the corrrect unlock code for the phone but it doesnt work, after several times of trying the code it still says " unlock code ir wrong".i thought perhaps unlock code was wrong so i bought another from another seller, it was the same unlock code....phone still obviously wont unlock...is this a deliberate ploy by orange to stop people using other sims in their phones.. I also have reset the phone to factory settings and tried with diffrerent sim like gif gaff, vodaphone etc but still remains locked and wont accept the unlock code. I have no reason to doubt the seller. im in the uk. Ive read somewhere that it may have something to do with the radio.zip whatever that is. To be honest im totally new at this modding lark so would be greatful if someone could walk me through this problem or help me in some sort of way. i would like to use my tesco sim in the phone. Thanks

That's the same reason I didn't get mine unlocked through T-Mobile (greedy @$$€$!) Got mine on eBay and it worked perfectly first time.
If the code isn't working for you and you got the same code from 2 sellers, it looks like your out of luck mate and you'll have to give your greedy network the money.
