Hello Guys,
I am a newbie here & would appreciate your help in following matter.
I bought a HTC One X from Bangkok and i m using it in India now.I am facing following issues.
1. I suspect that the phone that i bought was AT &T locked phone earlier and i might have been cheated by the seller in this regard. My question is how do i confirm whether this is an AT&T unlocked Phone?
2. The language of applications installed on the Phone is chinese and i cant seem to get rid of the language even after changing the language from settings page. How do i get it to be in English completely?
3. Indian carrier SIM apart from CELLONE does not detect or register on any network here. and the SIM slot is a normal one not a micro SIM Slot. Does this Phone require any special kind of SIM card?
4. Even Google Play is not there. whenever i try to download anything a page in chinese opens up. And i do not know chinese.
4. Will rooting of my phone help in any of these regard? I even dont know whether this Phone was a rooted one.
Please Help somebody....
Thanks & regard..
Nix.

Well i am sure that its not a chinese knock off atleast.. but this may be AT&T unlocked, that i am confused about...
Got to<settings <about<software information. Take a screenshot and post here.
here is the screenshot.. plz help dude.. i am all confused right now
Looks like it could be a really old build of HK firmware, but the kernel date doesn't make sense.
Try flashing the latest HK RUU (1.29.708.15) http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/
I'll leave it to you to find a username and password that works, but it's been posted in this forum more than once.
Strange, Also you mentioned that the phone takes a full sized sim not micro sim. Check the HOX's spec sheet and you will find that they were manufactured with micro sim slot only.
Maybe it IS a knock off OR someone modded the build.prop and sold you a Desire X?
i am uploading my factory mode screen. Please see if you guys can help
The number of speaker holes are less that the genuine one x. I think you have been fooled. The Hboot that you have is different. Check the attached pic.
Well this just gets stranger and stranger.
Doesn't look like a real One X I'm afraid.

yeah, it definitely seems that i have been fooled now. Any ways, is there any way to know the device hardware configuration, so that i may be able to flash it to atleast use it here in India.
Is there any ROM compatible to any handset?? If so, Then how do i go with it?

I was trying to be sensitive in my previous posts, and felt for you. Best you leave the rom as is, chances are if you try flashing you could end up with a brick.
sorry to bring this post back to life.. but need help.
my cousin from europe gave me his old HTC One X for my parents to use. but they need that to be in traditional Chinese language system.
can someone help me? I have posted up the SW and kernal version for your reference.
Thank you.

Hiya guys, 1st time poster so please treat me gently!!!
The crux of the matter is my younger sister returned from her holiday in spain to her dad's with a mobile she'd found near his house, a HTC Touch.
The phone itself had no SIM card in when found, and appears to be on the Orange network, with French language.
The phone itself, when you turn on, asks for (I think - its in French!!) a password or pin number. Apart from that its in full working order.
My question is, is there anything I can do with it? I looked on the HTC website and at the online manual. It mentioned "Hard Reset" which I did and assumed would restore the phone to factory default settings (the manual also said all data and passwords would be lost), but still, on reboot there is the prompt for the password. Unfortunately my GCSE french is all i can remember so looking in the French language manual probs isnt a good idea!
I know that IMEI numbers sometimes get blocked etc after loss. But is there a way round this??
I thought I'd defer to you guys superior knowledge as I say. Apologies if any of these questions break forum rules etc, as I said, this is all new to me and im not sure of the legality of using the phone now either, but otherwise its going to waste and never even had a SIM in when found. Is the phone now only worth scrap?? It would seem a massive shame if so.
Thanks for your time, and if you have any advice, id appreciate it lots
Well, I said I was a noob with all this stuff!!! Erm, I managed to hard reset the phone....my French wasnt up to scratch and guess what.......id pressed the wrong button for the master reset
****Very embarrassed smiley!!!!!!!****
anyway, this forum has taught me a few things already, so thanks.
Now, where to get a link for an English Rom to reinstall WM6 in Eng Lang (its still in french!! )
I can't beleive someone took his/hers SIM card out and threw away his/hers Touch. Everyone loves that device!

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. But it was my little sister who found it near her fathers house in Benidorm, and its in French. I can only assume it was a tourists, however the fact there was no sim in is weird.
But she brought it back to the UK now, and Im just wodering how to get it to work. Seems a great shame, especially when I did a bit research and saw what kind of cool phone it was.
I cant stress enough how much Im being genuine about this too, the phones not stolen etc.....i just dont think there'd be any way to find the owner, if there ever was one!!!
I'd almost bet the phone was stolen in the first place and the theif pulled the sim so that if the phone accidentally got turned on it wouldn't leave a trace on the network and then when things got a little to hot for them to handle they ditched the phone where your sister found it.

Quite possibly.
Well, at least the theif never prospered if that was the case.
I typed in my SN on HTC.COM and it's kicks back... And I searched here on XDA and google. I have a DIAM 110 U.S. 3G version.
I hard SPL'd, upgraded to SwiftBlade 7.5 and it was working good for a day or two. Then all of a sudden in the middle of last night while I had it charging it must have done something because in the morning it was locked up and HARD RESET itself! It also mentioned something about having an unsecure program or application or something like that... The screen was all fuzzy and shaking as well... I definitely don't want to risk it hard resetting itself anymore...
I want to go back to the original shipped. Just wondering thanks.

HTC branded unlocked I guess...? I don't know I ordered it from EBay unlocked NAM version... I appreciate any help you can give. It's pretty much the one they sell at Best Buy.
I do not know why it is not anywhere as I looked for it also, Every other Diamond ROM that has came out from HTC always gets posted but for some reason, the only way to get it is dump the ROM and radio. Here is the closest you can get, ROM only,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432496
yes thats the one
i was going to point you at that one too
Thanks guys will try that... I hope this will help stop my screen from bouncing and flickering after soft reset... Any ideas?
Did you try hard spl 193?

I haven't. It's not in the HARDSPL rollup thread. Got a link?
I'm also currently in emails with HTC regarding which shipped ROM came with my device. They don't know as of yet...
Hey all... just a quick question to set my mind at ease please...
Just bought a desire on ebay .. supposedly unwanted t mobile UK upgrade... brand New in box...paid 270 for itwhich I thought was a decent price...
I'm just a little worried about stuff on eBay though and wonder if there's anything I should check for to make sure its ok... any known problems I should be looking for or a reason someone would want rid in a hurry... as it was a 1 day sale.. many thanks for any help.
Nobody can advise what to look for? Is it at least possible to check how many minutes the phone has been used for ? (
Bought a Black HTC Desire on ebay.. £350.. box was still sealed - all good. But the chap selling it did live at the top of my road! LOL
Unlocked - just about to flash it!

thats a good deal, i got mine off ebay for £295, the main things u wanna check are the obvious, check the screen and the casing, check the battery for damage, turn it on and make sure you desire dosent have the pink screen tint problem, put it under some heavy usage and see if u get any random reboots ect and lastly plug it in while using it and make sure the device duznt get too hot, if your happy after doing all that ur sorted lol
If it's a stolen phone, it is possible that the IMEI has been blacklisted.
See here for more details.

When you get it use the dialler to type *#*#4636#*#* then tap usage statistics. This will tell you how long each application has been used for. Obviously if it's brand new these should read 0.
It should be wrapped in a cellophane type wrapper that folds in all weird ways around it! It's all one piece. I would do all the usual checks, and look closely at it to ensure it hasn't been dropped etc.
Don't forget if it's a Tmobile upgrade then it will likely be locked to Tmobile and require an unlock code if you aren't on the same network!
It should come supplied with a 4gb micro SD card installed in the phone, the battery, usb lead, wall charger that you plug the usb lead into, earphones, and a few wee booklets. All the leads, charger etc should be in sealed bags.
Thanks all.... I've been using it since last night and seems allls well... gets quite warm at the.base of the back .. but I assume they all generate some heat ...
Checked the timers.. and sense was showing 3 hours.. but as I been using it a day that obviously me.. was in box all cellofaned up.. and all bits in sealed bags..
What's the pink screen problem ? Is it very noticeable ?
The 1 thing o did notice is there was an option to have something light up on receipt of mail or sms. I assume its the center of the optical tracker but I haven't noticed it light up once... should it? And hoe can I check? Thanks again for all the advice.. had set my mind at ease. )
The light for notifications is the one you see when you charge. There is no light at the trackpad.

If it is the case, is it then possible to "unlock" it by flashing another ROM onto it? Just wondered cause I'm looking at one that might be locked to vodafone (upgrade).

No. A new rom gives you new phone software. To unlock it you need to go to Vodafone, or the cheaper and better option in my opinion, buy a code online!

If you have even flashed a RUU, then it may be a hardware problem. Try with another sim card. Same thing happening?

I don't think this old Desire could be repaired, especially in my country.
But you could give it a try, just make sure to ask for the price. Sometimes it's better to buy a new one :laugh:

yes thats the matter, if they ask for somehing huge then it will be meaningless not to buy a new phone. anyway thanks. i have already submitted it to the serice center. lets cee what they would say.
Can anybody tell me if this phone is capable of being unlocked? IF possible, please post a guide? I'm a new user to the forum, so I can't drop you a link. But they have the guide on softbank's English website. I think it's the best phone stupid softbank offers.
Always wanted a rooted phone. Please, help me out with this?

As for unlocking your phone their are third party sites that can help with that, usually the unlocking process is just a simple code entered after inserting a foreign sim card, which will SIM unlock your phone. As for root you can check this link in XDA fourm

I got a newer model: 301F.
Listen, this gives me hope, but I'm a total beginner at this stuff. What kind of third-party site helps with that? Could you send me some sample links that might work with my phone? Because it's really my dream to unlock my phone, man, and get sudo access--root it, ideally.
This is really cool. Thanks so much for writing. But I'm really hoping for something a wintard can figure out.
About the thread: it's for the F-X02, right? It's a slightly different model. It's also a different provider. I thought: "Maybe a custom ROM or rooting method needs to be made per each phone?" I'm not sure.
Thanks, again. Please, follow-up.

Your milage may vary, but you can check Ebay for unlock codes (they go for like 2 dollars or something) really cheap, so far i have unlocked 3 phones using this method, which is a sim unlock and works perfectly fine. If they cannot find a sim unlock code for you then they refund you your 2-3 bucks whatever it costs (still cheap) i would suggest you try this with an un-activated (or activated sim card) doesn't make much of a difference. you can literally just walk into any atnt store or (whatever provider you want unlocked) and ask for a empty sim let them know you want to unlock your phone to be on their service and they will be more than happy to just give u one ! By the way the unlock instructions are emailed to you when you order a code, they will ask for the proper IMEI number and what not, all of this is in their directions. Let me know how it goes
