Is it possible to HARD BRICK hTC One V on stock ROM.
My phone is not rooted + the bootloader is also not unlocked.
Will it be HARD BRICKED
I'm Planning a REPLACEMENT from hTC if it gets BRICKED. I purchased my phone 4-5months ago from INDIA, but the phone has some scratches on back and side part so planning to get it HARD BRICKED and get a replacement from hTC, IS IT POSSIBLE?
No you can't while its on stock ,root it and install a kernel for another phone,that will do the job ...btw how much will you sell it for ...ill buy it to test roms on it but only if its primou

Hey OP.. Actually some bad news. I think when HTC receive bricked phones they use a JTAG to unbrick them, so unless theres a motherboard failure I think you'll receive the same phone back, scratches et all... Even with a motherboard failure they might send u back the same case....
Whats a jtag ??

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

I imagine they would check, if you're careful and follow all instructions to the word they should never need to though

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

Will I be able to replace it?

For now, I just want it to die of old age

Hey,
This means that if something goes wrong then I've to just make sure that the phone is HARD BRICKED!
Then will HTC replace an Unlocked BL phone with voided warranty?

hey everyone.. but a HTC ONE X international off a private seller, and with my luck its a ht23.. the only real problems I've experienced with it is flickering screen and a dead pixel.
my one question is will replacing the lcd screen fix the problems?
sorry if this has been posted before. I've looked and really havent seen an answer
Well, it'll fix the dead.pixel, unless the new screen has a dead/stick pixel
Flicker was fixed with 1.29.401.11, although it didn't affect all devices.
How would I go about checking what version I have??
Thanks for the help! I p.s I'm a noob

Can I do that with an international version of the phone?? I I'm currently located in Canada as well
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
What benpope posted was the stock version number of the ROM. Since you are running a custom ROM, of course all the software versions would be different. Perhaps you should bring it back to stock since CM10 is still in alpha stage. And most likely you would need to put it back to its stock status if you were to send it to HTC for repairs.

I have an HT23 bought in Canada and no problem with it so far...
did you try a LCD revival software, sometime on new LCD this can be fixed search the market...
HTC should help, if not you can claim warranty from the seller since in Canada we have seller obligation to a legal warranty EVEN with an unlocked bootloader...
I also wonder why you installed another rom and unlocked it if you had a bad pixel, but you may have a bad vision as well (Just Joking...)
Haha I just may. I bought it off a private seller. So it was rooted when I got it. It's not a big deal to me anymore. I found a great price for a new lcd and digitizer and may just fix it myself.
Thank you all for your help

Hi there,
I have an HTC One X on the Orange network here in the UK.
I sent my phone off for repair due to a bad screen. When it has come back 3 weeks later it seems to have been reloaded with T-Mobile software! My old Sim card will not work as it says it is network locked, and is askig for an 8 character unlock code.
Orange say I need to send it away for repair gain to get this fixed, but I wondered if I could somehow change the software back to the standard UK Orange version suitable for this phone.
I don't want to jailbreak it or anything like that, just get the Orange software on it instead of the T-Mobile software.
Is this something I can easily do, or should I just bite the bullet and send it away for another 3 weeks?

If you really never UNLOCKED your hox, I say warranty. You can check it with hold your POWER+VOLUME DOWN button continuosly. And then you can check on top of the screen.

The top line says *** LOCKED ***
I've never flashed or unlocked the device.
Then like I said before, go for warranty.

Hello, I bought an HTC One X from Ebay and i found it really cheap. Anyways it is rooted as i see it has SuperSU app. But im afraid it was stolen as its price was so low. I wanna know if someone can block a rooted device? It was originally locked and the bootloader has been unlocked by the seller. At least thats what he said. Please I would be grateful if you could reply to my question. And if it gets blocked is there any way i can unblock it? Thanks
Did it work..?
I don't think that there's a problem
