Wait, so you're getting a new M8 cause you can't S-OFF the one you have? Or do you actually have a valid reason?...
(Yes, there's a chance the next one might work btw...)

Root options

Hi guys,
I bought a One x a couple of days ago. I had a htc Desire before, my question is are there root posibilities like using a Windows program to root? If not will be there a program to root the One x without needing to unlock it with the site of HTC.

Unlocking is only possible by using htcdev at the moment

Thats what i mean. Now you have to unlock the phone using htcdev. But will there be another method to unlock the One X? Because of the warranty issue using htcdev.

I've been thinking of warranty issues as well. I'll wait a bit more, maybe someone releases a root method not involving HTCDev, but I believe it's quite unlikely. Let's hope when they get S-OFF, they won't be needing the HTCDev unlock to do it

[Help]Sending my HOX to htc for repair

Well i am experiencing abnormal behaviour on my HOX....the network only show for 5 sec and then goes off....then again after sometime the signals come but again for 5 sec....so short story i want to send my hox to htc for repair...but the bootloader is unlocked...the phone is rooted and is running a custom rom...what should i do to make it look completely like stock....how do i relock my bootloader?? And which stock ruu should i flash..and after doing all this, will htc would know that my phone was ever rooted or the bootloader was unlocked.... Thanks..

I'm pretty sure you can't "relock" your bootloader, HTC keep records of which phones have been unlocked through htcdev.com so even if you do manage to go back to stock, they will still know that it has been unlocked at some point.
You can relock your bootloader, but it will say relocked so htc will know about it. Are you sure its hardware fault though? Have you tried flashing another ROM/kernel?

default if the phone itself will be fixed
I tried different roms and radios but no luck...it looks like my $600 phone will be turned into a high end android media device....any suggestions???? Is it worth to tell htc that my phone is unlocked and then ask what they can do to help me???

Have you tried asking the threads of the ROMs you have tried?

[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

HTC One X will not fully boot (water damaged many months ago)

I dropped my HTC One X in water months ago and though that it was well and truly dead. However, I recently thought it might be a good idea to see if it works, gave it a charge but it won't boot up properly. I can get to the screen in the picture by holding the power button and volume down combo, not sure what to do though, any help would be great.
Thanks guys
Try a factory reset, if that does not work and you do not have warranty you can try to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery and a new rom.

Will that be easy to do? Or will I have to take it to a repair shop?
Thanks again.
Nothing is easy, you need to read up on how to unlock via the HTC dev site, how to flash with fastboot and how a recovery works.

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.
