I've got a M8 from EE in the UK, which comes with some carrier additions in the software. It also tells me that I'm up to date, although I know there is a newer version out there. It's obviously not been approved my my carrier yet.
Is there anyway I can convert my device to the standard firmware, after unlocking on HTC dev?
I suppose I could just flash a custom Rom?
Would my carrier know / care if I did this?
Cheers
Stewart

Your carrier wouldn't know but HTC will know that you've unlocked the boot loader. If you need any warranty work or need to send it back to EE then even if you locked the bootloader it would show as re locked and not locked. If EE check this then they may charge you for any repairs.

unlocked what, sim, bootloader?
Im guessing when you say unlocked you mean the device is not tied to any carrier?
If your phone is not the AT&T branded version then all the methods for rooting and flashing roms and kernels will work for you as far as I am aware.
The AT&T version has been rooted now as well.
is anyone working on a software unlock for the att htc one x, so that the phone can be use on tmobile. tried many unlock site to get the code, none are available.
Hi,
I sent my one X back to Vodafone in the UK as it had a screen fault.
It went as an unlocked one that had the latest update (Sense 4.1 etc) but they have swapped it for one that says there is no update available (even though it's one Sense 4.0 etc) and has loads of Vodafone apps on that my old one didn't.
Is there any way I can unlock it and get the updates etc ?
Would I have to root to do that ?
Should I just send it back (again) and ask for an unlocked version ?
Thanks for any help,
Vodafone will only supply a branded handset, all you can do is go custom

Presumably I could flash a stock ROM and get back to where I was ?
Will that network unlock the phone as well ?
Just a bit nervous about warranty etc.
Sound like I made a mistake and should have sent it back directly to HTC.

you can yeah, you'll have to unlock bootloader etc from scratch.
i don't think it will network unlock the phone.
warranty will still be fine, if you bought it from vodafone, then your warranty is with them, they actually have their own repair center, so they don't rely on htc. aside from the fact its a branded handset, it probably was better you sent it to vf, as htc have a habit of sending back phones un repaired.
My One X is branded to O2 UK, I asked them for an unlock code so I could use any network, I revived it and unlocked my phone. My question is do I still need to wait until my network releases Jellybean or can I use an unbranded one?

I think its still classed as an O2 branded phone, its just SIM Unlocked now.
So probably will have to still wait untill O2 release their JB.
Unless you use custom ROM.
Hope this helps.

I have a T Mobile lock note 2.I was wondering what is the difference for updates between a locked T Mobile Phone and a unlock T mobile phone. Would I get different up dates with a unlocked phone.
Thanks

What you mean locked?
If sim locked vs sim unlocked, no diff
If rooted vs unrooted, no diff
If stock rom vs custom rom, then you cant update via tmobile unless you restore custom recovery and rom, but now you can use all the awesome custom roms out there (who'll incorporate all the updates anyways)
