Hello,

Depends on what the problem is. They may determine it was caused by whatever you did.
My USB port stopped working for charging or anything else and I had an unlocked bootloader with a custom rom and they didn't say anything to me about it.

What kind of repair? I guess if it's hardware related, you should get it repaired for free, although you might need to raise your voice a little.

My WiFi is not working and the case is cracking. So do i have to relock it?

Good luck if you are in the UK... I tried sending mine back for repair but was sent straight back to me due to it being relocked. After a few heated conversations and the issue being esculated I was told that "even if the volume button fell off, it would be out of warranty" because "illegal software" had been installed. Absolutely ridiculous I know and I'm sure not even legal, (against statuary rights).. I have to read up get some info and advice before confronting them again...

So, if you unlock it but it is clean, wiped every software you added, there would be no problem?

Nope, that is exactly what I did.. cleaned wiped fresh official stock ruu installed.. intact if I'm not mistaken its not possible to relock without stock Rom cleanly installed..

So if the law says that you lost your guarantee because you installed illegal software and HTC uses that to deny you the guarantee, but they can't prove it, you would win in the court.

That's the thing, I was told that because I used third party software to unlock it (they class HTCdev as third party) that voided the warranty.. when they say "illegal" software it isn't actually illegal in the eyes of the law, just htc call it illegal because HTC will void the warranty...

The minute that you go onto HTCDev, click the agreement and then flash it as per instructions is where you waive your rights to any repair within the warranty period. It seems that sometimes they will still repair it regardless (depending on the actual problem) but I'm not prepared to make that gamble just yet. I had a Desire prior to my One X and regularly flashed rom's on this since almost day 1 of getting as I knew that it could be returned to the state that I bought it in for warranty purposes. I'm not going to attempt to root the One X until I'm close to the end of its warranty period as I'm seeing far too many people having problems with them

Consumer rights are very strong in the UK, HTC are perfectly within their right to deny you warranty, but on top of that, you have statutory rights. Those rights are with the retailer, not HTC.

Screen issue need advice plz

Sup guys/gals, this is my first issue with hardware or build quality today I noticed my screen rocks side to side mainly when pressing the top 2 corners of the device I just updated arhd 9.4.0 with st and noticed a price drop on mc3 so I played that for 30min the device become extremely hot then I noticed the screen issue. I would like to hear if you've had this issue and how you got it fixed was it covered under warranty even with bootloader relocked? btw I'm on three UK

That is clearly a hardware / manufacturing defect, so they will most probably fix it despite the unlocked bootloader. But like the poster above me said, relock the bootloader and flash the correct RUU before taking it back.

Lol definitely shouldn't move I think gameloft killed my screen as I've never noticed any problem before I'm more worried about three saying I must cover the costs as they've tried several times with my n96, n97, x10i but I stood my ground and got all of these phones for free in one contract at no extra cost I'm guessing it wont be as smooth when they see bootloader relocked

The only problem is getting past those filefactory links for ruu last time they want £8 for 1 file

But its hardware fault not your fault I don't believe playing a game would make your screen move I could understand if it got hot and changed colour but it shouldn't move just try and see what that say if that say no go to HTC

Sent in my phone for repair on arhd 9.2.0

And I got it back.. had sent it on due to WiFi issue. I honestly can't tell much since I have moved to a new apartment. The WiFi issue (I think) is gone. I checked this by going to a room where the signal is bad and then pushing my fingers at the WiFi spot. Nothing changed, no connection improvement what so ever. If anything after pushing the area my connection has gotten slightly worse if that certain spot is pushed..opinion on this is welcome.
Just thought is mention that I had sent my phone in for repair with an unlocked bootloader and on arhd 9.2.0 and got it back without having to pay.
That's my story..

I have just arranged a repair of my handset due to WiFi hardware fault. Will be collected by UPS tomorrow. Stock ROM and Re Lock bootloader time!!

That was quite lucky shame some have completely got it back to stock and have had to pay. Its a shame its not very consistent.

Did they return it with the bootloader re-locked and the stock sense rom on? Or was it returned with the ROM you already had on intact?

It was returned repaired the same way I sent it.

Where you sent it? Directly at HTC service, or to your carrier?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I sent it at my carrier which is a a1 Austrian contract. As far as I have been informed it was sent to htc in Czech. @above, it took a bit less than two weeks in my case. Round 12 days. So two weeks

This is an information, all that we need. Because in that case you're right. Wi-Fi is a hardware problem and they should recognize the warranty. But unfortunately, not always and not everywhere be received correctly.

Exactly my point. I have a friend who threatened and actually wasn't lightly meaning that he would go as far as to suing them if they do not comply. They ended up replacing his nearly one year old phone with a New one. I think in this case it depends more on in which country you are in than anything else.
A.k.a the country is a major influence

hi
hi
actually feel the guys in my country India Bangalore not all that technically qualified they try the usual procedure just reflash the ROM and if we have not relocked,added the right boot.img and stock recovery they end up bricking it and then they just send it to HTC ho at India and get it replaced :good::laugh:
im 100% sure that the first thing they do here is just re flasher the original ROM
and i really dont think these ASPs in my county dont(at least the ones at bangalore ) know about locking the boot loader :laugh:

Haha true! Im from Bangalore as well and experienced a similar thing with my friend's HOX!
He sent it back in for the slightly yellowish spot on the display after rooting and unlocking the bootloader. They called him back and said they will give him a new piece He received a brand new one.
Thanks to to their stupidity, I think we Indians can still claim warranty

[Q] arc S LCD problem

Hello. I bought about eight months Gvshymv. You're just a tiny spot of white on black LCD door. But other colors right door. This is a very small point, I think it's a pixel. I want to ask is there a way to fix it?

No, send it while you have warranty

[Q] Can a rooted device get imei blocked?

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
