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

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

Guys have anyone of you tried to ask for warranty after you have rooted your one x?
Cause in some cases like samsung they also say that when you root your phone your warranty is void but in fact eventhough you rooted it and bricked it and asked for warranty they will give you the warranty?? Is it the same with htc?

So far, I've never even needed to use my warranty here in cagayan de oro. Bought it from davao, my two cousins bought for themselves too and no issues. I believe that since the one x was released late here in the philippines, the units are those from new batches so no issues, and no need to worry of finding out something wrong with your hox. HoX, more fun in the philippines :thumbup:

Ok when I got my my phone in July about a month after the wifi went bad and I unlock the bootloader does the warranty still cover that

You should still be covered for hardware defects regardless of bootloader status

if you have unlocked the bootloader they'll complain about this... if you're lucky they will repair it for you, if you are not you will have to do it by yourself, which is better and less time consuming (15 minutes)
guys i have an HTC one X and i want to sim unlock it for using it on other networks, any method for doing this?
Search eBay for remote sim unlocking service.

No, you need S-OFF, and that is not available for One X.

Don't be too sad, it only costs a few quid and takes a few hours, tops.
Unless you're one of the unlucky few that it doesn't work for, but cross that bridge if it happens.

You could always try the provider where the simlock if from, say you have to go abroad for a while and want to use a local simcard for that country your going to.

There are a small number of operators for which it doesn't work. It's a very small chance, and from what I hear, getting a refund from a reputable SIM unlock code provider is painless.
Im Still In My 14 Days Of Returning My Device, But The Bootloader Says **Tampered** And **unlocked** I Have S-On Tho.. And I've removed the red letters When I Boot The Device On... And if they find out it was tampered with , can they charge me on my bill?? im on my way to work and wanted to go after work (6pm, and they close at 8pm) Should i worry?
Thanks In advance and sorry for the question, i just really need help...:good:
? Anyone please...

Why don't you just try? It's not like they'll call the cops on you; the worst they can do is refuse the return. It's also very unlikely that the associates know how to get into the bootloader in the first place, so it probably won't even come up.
How do I return my HTC one m8 back to stock to exchange I'm having battery issues and I have rooted unlocked boot loader and am running venom Rom and am s-on still ??

You just have to look for a basic stock rom and flash that. As long as looks like basic stock, the reps in the store won't notice (or look for) evidence that it's rooted. Carriers (especially T-Mobile and Sprint) generally don't care.
Can I just flash my backup I did a backup before flashing the venom Rom?

Yep, that should work just fine. I did the same when I traded my Sprint M7 in a couple of weeks back.

I dont think that would happen, I have returned a few mytouch phones way back when after having custom roms and nothing has happened. That was many years ago tho and I am not sure if HTC has changed any policies on that since then.
I just went in to tmobile just to figure out if they had any in stock., spoke with a salesman about the restock fee...and he said there is no voiding it unless, they run a diagnosis on the phone but it's unlocked and tampered...should I take the chance and tell them to run it?

if its a hard ware issue the soff wont cause an issue.
