hi sounds like they sent you a unlocked phone does it have any Vodafone blot crap like start up screen or Vodafone apps? :good:
if not it may be a unbranded (generic) phone

This is pretty standard, my HTC Sensation wasn't locked and neither is my One X. Tends to be mainly PAYG stuff & iphones which are locked, although stock can be taken from contract and sold for PAYG from time to time as well
I got a HOX on Voda no bloatware my wife got one too and hers has the Voda craps on it.
When i first got the phone had all of vodafones crap on it but a custom rom solved that problem and i have a voda cid as well just thought it would of been locked to vodafone
Vodafone and orange don't sim lock their phones anymore but still come with all the crap on them though

Here in Germany, I haven't experienced sim lock on contract phones except t mobile. O2, Vodafone, eplus, all they give unlocked phone with bloatware.
P. S. If your phone would be simlocked, you won't be able to unlock it flashing custom Rom. So it was apparently unlocked

To sum it up, if you get the phone direct from Vodafone it will more than likely be branded which means it will have their Crap on it and you will have to wait for their updates if the h-boot needs updating but it will be SIM unlocked so you can use any SIM.

Hi,
I am just about to get a DHD but I have 2 Options of the Network either on 3 or Orange Uk, However I am on Tmobile UK but I ll be unlocking/debranding the phone for my own use.
I have come across a fried who got his from 3 UK and it came unlocked, so I am not sure if anyone else Knows if it comes unlock/unbranded etc..
Just need to know before deciding which one to go for.
Thanks in advance.
I am leaving orange to go to 3uk i have found the signel better than orange so far and lots cheaper, As for unlocked mine had no branding on it at all, after about a hour it was s-off ,sim unlocked etc.. with no problems at all.
I was with orange for over 10 years but what with there expansive talk plans , small internet useage etc.. i switched , But know i having problems get my number off them..
A work colleague got a DHD from 3 and it was branded, at least until I got him on the latest AR HD ROM and debranded it for him.
From stock you'll get branded splashscreen, bootanim and some 3 apps. The handset itself has no branding on it though. Dunno if it came locked as he got it on 3 to use it on 3 so I had no need to test.
Someone else at work had one on Orange and that has their logo on the rear casing. I'm not sure about software branding but I think it's safe to say it will knowing what Orange are like.
Thanks for the reply guys..
I have a HD on Orange and 2 of my friends.
There is no branding on the phone anywhere.
There is no branding on the ROM either.
It's about time Orange stop messing with ROMS.

Were they from from a reseller or Orange direct?
The guy here at work with the Orange branded DHD got his from Orange direct.
If you get them from Phones4U, Car Phone Ware House etc then most of the time it will be unlocked & unbranded as they just get one off the shelf and then give you a SIM card to suit the network you just signed up for.
Same with T-Mobile. I did my upgrade with them on the phone but they had no stock left so they said I could pick one up from a local CPW store, which I did. No branding for me
Wow!!
Think i got lucky with my DHD.
I got mine from a "three" store, It had the stock rom installed no "3" branding anywhere!
(was sim free too) ^_^
i got my dhd with orange online, the only branding on the device whas the orange boot animation, it also came with older software so it was easly rooted. another good thing about orange is the "your orange" app on the market, letting you view your current spendings, how many mins and data you have left and your current bill
I've been on Orange for years. The only problem I have is when I'm in a 2G area and a data connection is active - any incoming voicecalls go straight to voicemail. This is because Orange prioritize data over voice, and 2G can't handle both simultaneously. No problem on 3G. Vodaphone prioritize voice in these circumstances.
Anyway, at the end of my contract I said I want to go monthly SIM-only (having bought my dhd off contract and sold my Touch HD) . Orange offered me 300 any network minutes, unlimited landline, 1Gb data, 15 picture messages, and a Desire for £13 per month. I promptly bit their hand off. Now selling the Desire....

Hi all,
thinking of buying the onex in Australia.. the phone is locked to Vodafone, but i am a telstra user.. does anyone know if the one x will work properly on the telstra 3g network at 850mhz once unlocked from vodafone??
Also is it hard to do a rom flash ,as i havent been able to do this on an android phone(not real tech savvy) as i would like to remove any "inbuilt" vodafone apps/links/features from the phone completely!!
Yes. Provided your phone is not sim locked.

Im being told that it isnt sim locked by person selling to me!!
some will say all sorts just to get a sale!!
I'm using an HTC One X from Optus and it works great on Telstra. I'm not sure if Vodafone sells them unlocked but I believe you can get them unlocked by Vodafone.
Got mine from Allphones.

Yep, buy outright (SIM unlocked) and you'll be sweet.
I also bought at AllPhones and am running LiveConnected (cos Telstra bite big time ). I still get the Optus boot screen, but it's not a big deal, only pops up for a second.
Today i bought a one x from orange romania
When i put vodafone sim in it the phone asked for unlock code

Hi Z51. I'm Newbie tonight, seems great site and glad to find it. I've just bought an HTC ONE X + . Phone locked to Orange, though still waiting for a micro sim card from my Provider for years with Cable & Wireless then carphones charles Blunstone bought us over years with them.
Now Talkmobile who uses Vodaphone network equipment. This is an unwanted upgrade from thye seller and although I will try, I don't hold much hope with Orange for unlocking code. Please PSM in lieu of receiving a new sim.
I'll give you my number through there.
Anybody else for help, plse welcome to it.

Hai, In order to unlock your mobile you can use unlock codes. If you want unlock code for your HTC one x mobile you can get it from Unlocking4u.com . Here you can specify your mobile model, imei, network and country. Then they will send the code to your mail along with instructions.
No MTP or PTP options available
Hello, I am new to this form. I flashed with AICP - 3.5 - KK 4.4.2_r2 rom today. and noticed that I do not have MTP or PTP options available. I got to Settings>Storage and couldnt find the 3 dots menu which will have the USB Computer connection settings menu. Please help.
I have a HTC One X which appears to have T-Mobile UK firmware on.
I would like to know...
1. Is it possible to de-brand the firmware to a standard HTC One X one?
2. How do I know if my handset is locked without having to switch sim cards. If the handset is locked, is there a way to unlock this for free?

As far as I know it mentioned in the bootloader. Hold power and volume Down buttons for 10 secs.
Yes, it is possible to debrand, just flash custome Rom.
Although I haven't heard about SIM locked hoxs, but it wouldnt be possible to unlock it since we don't have s off

Guys
I have 2 HOX my wife and sister use both are locked to Vodafone and one has a Vodafone SIM the other a TESCO SIM.
The Vodafone SIM one got the OTA about 4 weeks ago but I have tried to even force the TESCO SIM one to update without success.
I even put a Vodafone SIM and tried and tried the Google Framework Wipe.
Any ideas why one updates and other work ?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Both are having the same cid? It doesn't depend which sim card you have...it depends on the cid... And often the devices with same cid aren't getting ar the same time the update

Could be a carrier issue?
Carriers have to approve the updates on their own networks before they are pushed.
Tesco could be really slow?

Yep - Orange / T-Mobile / EE are still waiting for it as well. I got sick of waiting & flashed ARHD onto mine this weekend. Orange & T-Mobile are denying the update exists, or just saying "your phone will let you know when it is ready." This morning I had a tweet from EE in response to one of mine - they said if I plug my phone into my PC a web page for the phone will open and tell me if there are any updates. Absolute b***ocks!
