Hello Guys,
don't ask why! I need a way to brick a HTC ONE X. It does not have to be permanently but at least enough that it can not be restored (besides by HTC themselves). Also it would be nice if it does not leave too obvious traces (so no physical damage).
I thought about a bootloader update (with unplugging the cable in the "wrong" second) but I am open to other suggestions.
I onloy know how to flash Samsung Galaxy Series, so please link to sources for needed software.
Thanks in advance

How you do it is turn the phone on and with a visean bottle slowly drop water into the head phone or sim card jack with the screen up be very patient but it dose the trick pm if you need help

i saw one on youtube. they are working. surely it will make your one x into a brick (literally)
here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk4adP2Pi-Q
You can disassemble the phone and using a piece of Aluminium foil or steel wool, connect all the solder connections randomly while the phone is ON until phone suffocates.
If your intentions is wasting the phone for fun then :
1- Look for the HTC logo on the back
2- Make a small "x" exactly 3 mm below the "T"
3- Through the "x" you marked, Drill using a fine 10mm drillbit until you can feel back of the screen
4- Continue drilling until you can see the drillbit on the other side of the phone.
I didnt see any moderators say anything but........ This is not an appropriate question to open post. Not trying to rain on your parade, Im all for getting new stuff. You dont want to get caught up in defrauding AT&T or HTC, google this you'll find alot about people getting caught. If you really need to get a new phone opps it fell in the pooper. Be carefull when asking stuff like this, you really should be asking someone you know via pm or email.

Hi my one x battery pooped out on me anybody out there send there phone in for battery repair or motherboard repair just trying to get a estimate on how much because I litteraly just bought the phone

The htc one x battery can be changed theres a thread somewhere with a video I believe of the one x+ battery being put in. If you still have warranty I suggest you use that though as I just got my one x and theres no way id contemplate opening it up yet Use the forum search feature to help you.
Good luck

If I was you I would try to scope ebay and hunt for a screen damaged wildfire and salvage the parts from that. I have personally never seen or heard of the wildfire schematics being "in the wild", nor have I heard of anyone replacing that part. I would request though that if you do find the parts can you take pics and make a how to? These kinds of things always help out the community I shall try see if I can find a schematic for you

Have been having a look around and have came across this. Its a strip down of the wildfire. But if I am seeing correctly then the phone they have stripped is bare in the same place as yours pal. http://www.formymobile.co.uk/wildfiredisassembly.php

Hi guys, I have htc one x for over a year now. it was working fine but recently it just gone dead. i haven't done any firmware update or root device etc. i gave it to one repair shop the guy said that it might have memory IC problem and other things (processor, power ic) are fine but memory ic is not available right now. i showed it to another shop but that guy said that its processor is gone dead and there is nothing you can do. i don't know what to do. plz help me, if there is any possible solution for y device??
Thanks,
Since, I'm having the same problem, I'm wondering if there's a reliable way to check, which component exactly is broken. Any ideas?
And secondly: Is there any way to gain access to the internal memory if we assume, that all other components are irrepairably broken?
My HTC One X has been dead for over a year. So instead of selling or throwing it away, I thought of taking it apart and used the components individually. But I don't know how. Can anyone tell me for example how to connect the touchscreen with a breadboard or an arduino?
