Finding out what was done to my phone - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So just got back my M8 from HTC after a repair, was having problems with calls and I called HTC UK to find out what was replaced or done to my phone but they wont tell me, anyone had any experience of this, as i find it quite shocking they wont tell you.
P.S i sent with S-Off, and now its S-On, so i guess they replaced the board, but would like to know for sure.

Do you know if is indeed the same phone. If so then they probably just reflashed the current stock firmware. I doubt they would replace the board for that because if they change the board and still have issues they wasted time and money. If it isn't the same phone then they replaced it. Check your imei and serial number. Call your service provider and have them look at your phone and they can tell you the numbers they have.

thanks for your reply, but reflashing wouldnt have fixed my problem, as i had the problem, on stock, on GRe and then back to stock. I think it is the same phone, as there was a very very small notch on the right side of the phone, and its still there. also when i spoke to them, they said it was in testing, then went back to repair. I would assume that new board was the only fix for my problem, as i cant see new speakers fixing it, and it was not software.

[Q] IMEI Number issue

I have bought HTC one x on monday. but it has got heating and lagging issue when I called in customer care then they asked IMEI no but both IMEI in the system info and on the box are different.
In device it displays 004999010640000.
First of all I don't know rooting or any custom Rom kind of thing. I'm currently using stock HTC sense 4.0.
Please someone get me out of this problem.
What I have to do now for claim the warranty?
Looks like a IMSI and not IMEI ..Please recheck ...and what sort of heating issues u toking abt ? While playing games the area around camera tends to get a bit heated ..Its Normal ...
I have this no by pressing *#06#
And my phone sometimes goes upto 55 while charging.
Yesterday it began to heat without using it and battery goes 74-9%.
And it restarted 4 times.
But how I claim warrenty with different IMEI.
Thanxx
Your baseband is corrupt or has been tampered with. That TAC prefix is a test one that shouldn't ever appear on a retail HTC.
All you can do is talk to HTC customer service and whoever you bought the phone from and give them the IMEI off the box whilst also explaining that the phone IMEI isn't valid.
But I m using custom HTC sense 4.0.
I never installed any Rom or something.
But retailer downloaded ics launcher,win7 launcher;and apple mac launcher .
Is it the reason for this ?
If it is then I have to talk with retailer.

If you've not installed a custom firmware then there is no chance you broke it yourself. Regular apps can't alter it at all.
You'd need to have the bootloader in S-OFF mode or alter the RIL in your firmware to make it report that number.
The TAC for the One X is 35918804 so your IMEISV will be 35918804xxxxxxx.
IMEI on the box is exactly this kind....but on device its different.
& what is bootloader s-off mode ??please reply because I'm new in android field.

The bootloader in HTC devices usually prevents you from using custom firmware and altering the baseband. S-OFF = Security off = The ability to alter everything in the phone including the baseband.
How to check s-mode is off or on ??
I have issues due to overheating also...like accelerometer and keyboard not working sometimes after restarting device and front camera is very noisy photo looks like thousand of ants running on the face and distortion also.
But I can't claim the warranty due to this different IMEI no....
Who/where did u buy the phone from and maybe you can send it back under the cooling off period. If the imei number is wrong just explain that it was how your phone came! Btw, you haven't accidently swapped with another one X Have you? My wife and I did that when we ordered matching HTC desires.
Hope this helps a little

How to check it is on or off ??
Please tell me.
I'm really worried about this issue.
Sounds like someone has played with. it in the shop.
To check for S-OFF turn the phone on whilst holding volume down key and report back the infor seen on the screen.
I once got a xperia, the first to come out. It had been opened and returned. They assured me it was ok and was the last one left in the shop (o2) . I really wanted it there and then so I took it. It had issues so I returned it and got a desire from the 3uk shop in stead.
Not sure what consumer rights are like in India but I say return to shop and at least get the phone swapped. I find it helps to go when the shop is busy, they will soon return your phone while they are trying to sell more.
Let us know how you get on.

Sure...I will post after visiting the shop.
Thanxx.
pls look in the back side of the sim tray
Hey everyone its a miracle or something .
Today, at noon my phone restarts automatically 5 times and keep restarting till battery is completely drained but and its overheats to 62 degrees.
Then after when I restarted and check IMEI then I was shocked to see that it was same as on the box.
I don't know why this happened.
I'm not joking...its true.
And now I have to think about issues only.
How it is possible to change IMEI automatically ??

Take it back still. Your phone is still faulty and never should have done that.

[Q] Dead HTC One denied warranty

Hello everyone,
Recently my Verizon HTC one stopped working. After reading around and contacting HTC customer support, I determined there was nothing to be done but send it back in for warranty. The phone would not respond to any inputs and could not be reset. The charging LED would not turn on when the phone was plugged into an AC adapter, nor would charging it for an extended period of time bring it back. It was dead.
After sending it in for warranty, I am now seeing that they are wanting $200 to fix it because I've rooted it. The included images show a picture of the bootloader which (I believe, it's a pretty small image) indicates that it has been rooted. My question is, if they were able to get it to boot into the bootloader does that mean I could likely refuse the repair and just fix any software issues my self? Has anyone else had a similar issue and solved it without having to pay the $200 repair fee?
Thanks
If they got it into the bootloader then yes, it should be fixable (if its just a software issue), I'd ask for it back and update to the latest firmware if its not already....or.....Get the decrypted RUU and take it back to stock and start over (or just leave it alone).......alot of this information can be found in the Android Development forum, hope this helps...goodluck
I was aware to believe that that Verizon did not check for unlocked or s-off status. Did they update their replacement policy in the past 2 years?

Maybe I screwed up, but this was through HTC directly. For better or worse I have requested that the phone be sent back to me. If it is still dead when I receive it, I'm assuming I can either send it back in again for repair by HTC or try Verizon (if that is an option)?
I'd ask if anyone has tried this before, but my guess is I'm probably in uncharted waters here...
You can't send it back to HTC as I am sure they logged all the serial numbers that's on that phone and has already logged the phone as having a voided warranty due to rooting. You can try Verizon and hope they don't have access to HTC voided warranty list.

I would not really expect them to take it back for warranty work, but would they not take it back if I was willing to pay their required $200 fee? Or are you saying they won't even service out of warranty phones for pay?
Yeah if you are willing to pay the fee to get it fixed then they will fix it.

I've never had Verizon give me an issue with rooted or unlocked devices.
More stupid questions.
I got the phone back, it turns on and seemed to work fine, but this morning it spontaneously rebooted and now the vibrate motor seems to be hosed. I have done a factory reset and a restore from an older nandroid backup, but nothing seems to make it work. I know for a fact it was working after I got the phone back. It just seems to suddenly have stopped functioning.
Is this something others have dealt with, or am I likely just dealing with a phone that has an intermittent hardware issue? I'm going to try flashing a different ROM, but thought I would check in with you guys here before doing anything too drastic.
Regarding Verizon, if I bought the phone at Best Buy, would it still be possible to go through Verizon and see if they would send me a replacement for the faulty hardware? Unless this is a known software issue, I'm really starting to think this phone has a hardware issue.

have you tried an RUU on it first. it could just be bad software if the thing turns on. i would try that before anything else is done. you'll need to be s-off to do so though.
Well, I flashed back to stock, locked, and s-on. Still no vibrate functionality.
What is the general consensus on Verizon's CLNR policy? I do not see any defects on the phone cosmetically, but what are the chances I'd end up being charged for a replacement? The phone has pretty much been in a case since I got it, and I keep it in a pocket by its self.
As far as my dealings is just as long as it doesn't look like it went through ww3 you should be fine. I sent phones back that had scratches abd a few nicks on the case. They never had a problem with that.

HTC Warranty Process

So I have an HTC One from Verizon that is having issues with the camera; it won't focus on anything more than a foot or so away.
I've tried alternate camera apps, and it doesn't fix the focusing issue.
So, I'd like to send this phone back under warranty. How is HTC's repair process? When they can't repair a phone (which they should be able to do), they will replace it with a refurbished phone.
So, I can either send the phone in to HTC, in which case they will probably repair it and send it back. If they are not able to fix it, which is unlikely, they will give me a refurbished version. I consider this option risky, because I either get my phone taken apart and
The other option is to get a new phone from Costco. I can't get another HTC One, because for some reason they'll only send me a refurbished one. If I'm going to be going for refurbs, I may as well just try HTC's warranty process. However, I am able to get a new LG G2 or GS4. I don't want either of these phones because I don't like the plasticy feel, but it's much lower risk. I don't want to be stuck with a messed up phone and I can't keep sending it in to HTC. My return period from Costco is about to end too, so I can't send it to HTC and then change my mind and get Costco to replace it after I've already gotten it back from HTC.
So the basic question is, can I trust HTC to properly fix the phone? I really don't want to have to get a different phone, but I don't want to keep having issues. Anyone have experience with their warranty process?
Return it.
If you read the camera thread, it becomes clear that people are returning their device multiple times and a number of them are getting a LITEON brand sensor that has a green tint.

The process is really easy. I just got mine back on Wednesday. You won't get a refurb...you'll get your phone back. And, if you have any gaps or anything like that in the build of the phone, they'll be gone too. You won't have to return it multiple times if you go through HTC (using a Verizon exchange you might since they'll give you a refurb...maybe that's what this guy is talking about?) If you're s-off and unlocked, just relock and remain s-off.

The worry is that HTC will replace the camera with a bad sensor or something like the other guy said. I don't want to have a green tint on my camera after I get it back.

I definitely don't have any green tinting. From what I've seen, most people have been pleased with the results. I haven't seen the thread the other guy is talking about though. Here's a low light pic after repair.

Late to the party...
I'm having the same issue and I went onto HTC's site to start a live chat session to get some info on repair/replacement process, but the chat window doesn't work in Chrome, Firefox, or IE. I then tried to use the email support form and that failed in all browsers too. Can anyone help supply info as I would prefer not calling in?

Updated to Lollipop. Mic-1 not working.

Hi
I'm running an international unlocked M8. just got it from the service repair center for a battery-related repair. Immediately upgraded it to OTA Lollipop. The microphone isn't working. Google Now & Phone calls just pick up static. Speaker phone works fine. Tried cleaning the grill to no avail. Tried factory reset. Nothing.
Do you think this is related to Lollipop? Can I count on an update to follow to solve this? Because I would really hate to send it back to the service center.
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
I would recommend you to try install the previous version you got and if the problem still exists then sorry mate but you have to send it back.
I know it sucks! :/
I guess there's no way to avoid it. Phone's going back not even one day after I got it back I was hoping it was a widespread software issue that would get a speedy patch but seems like it's not. Thanks for the reply.

I'd not only send it back, but I would also let them know that you are angry about it. They obviously sent you something that was sent in to them and refurbished. Tell them you want a NEW phone.

And yes they did send me the same phone I sent to be repaired. It even has the decal I put on the back. And you can see a small indentation from where they opened it up, and the screen is veeeeeery slightly wobbly when I touch it in a corner.
They told me they don't do replacements unless it is wholly beyond repair. Usually the carrier does that but I got this off contract. Though I have heard informally after the third repair they will just send a new one.
I really admire you for your strength . And I would love for this to be a tale of righteous customer overcoming the evil customer support. In my experience the person behind the desk just doesn't care and will only take it out on you if you disrespect him. Whereas being cordial seems to garner astonishment "wow he actually treats me like I am human". I've tried being angry and I've tried being kind.
Thank you very much for your reply.

[Q] Camera with purple fringing - ok to send to HTC for repair with S-off/root?

Hi guys,
So my trusty M7 finally started exhibiting the infamous purple fringing camera defect after close to two years. I thought I got lucky and got one of the original good ones, oh well. I've been busy with school and unfortunately haven't had chance to keep up with the M7 xda developments since I did S-off and root with the original exploit. I've been running the stock verizon ROM - never updated (blocked OTA update) because I need foxFi and I thought the more recent updates (kitkat) killed or crippled tether/foxFi operation.
Two questions:
1. I'd like to have send my phone to HTC to repair the camera module. A friend who did the same last fall had his phone updated to kikat and the latest official ROM. However, his was completely stock when sent in (no s-off or root, stock recovery). Is it wise for me to send in the phone as is to HTC? If not, what steps should I take?
2. I'd like to keep my existing ROM for the sole purpose of keeping FoxFi/tethering fully operational and trouble-free. Am I being completely nonsensical - do the more recent Android builds (kitkat and beyond) from Verizon really kill FoxFi/tethering?
Ideally, I'd love to have the camera repaired and keep my S-off/root status. Is this possible with sending back to HTC?
I did a search on the topic but didn't find an exact answer. If I missed it, I apologize in advance. Trying to finish grad school, and unfortunately just don't have as much free time to keep up with all the cool stuff at XDA as I used to be
I don't have any answer for you, but would like to know myself. The purple tint is the only reason I'm considering getting rid of my M7 soon.
Return to stock and lock/s-on. HTC may give you a different device, they may change the board out. If you send it in stock with s-off, it may invalidate the warranty on a worst case. If they honor the warranty, they will run their ruu and turn s-on anyway,, so just save yourself the trouble and do it yourself to avoid invalidating the warranty.
Edit: when you get your phone back, you can s-off with Sunshine and then use the old ruu's to return your phone to the old stock Rom and firmware.

My roommate sent his phone in for HTC to repair it. The CSR said for him to send it in and if they deem the camera issue is due to H/W malfunction they would repair it at no cost. He sent it in and it took over a month for him to get contact from HTC on whats going on with his device. He tried online chat, email, phone calls, and no one could give him an answer about whats going on. Another month goes by and he gets tired of waiting so he went onto his claim ticket and checked the box saying "just return my device". This is when he started to get emails, lots of emails, that they want him to pay $250 for the repair because it is out of warranty. I had him do another online chat with HTC and tell them, on htc twitter account they posted a tweet (that is no longer available) that the fix they had for the camera was software and that it WILL fix the purple hue issue. After about an hour or so the CSR wouldnt confirm HTC would fix the device so he requested for it to come back, as is and he would get just go insurance route. Another month passes and a box showed up from htc. It was his phone, or we thought it was. He hurried up and activated it and proceed to see if they fixed the issue. Once logging the IMIE into sprint site, it came back saying the phone was a Black HTC One m7 (the device is grey). Not a big deal, and we didnt think anything of it and tried out the camera. Camera worked great, and still does but now he is seeing the screen lifting off as if they forgot to glue it back down. you can almost separate the screen from the body with a finger nail or guitar pic. HTC wont offer to repair it because in the system it shows he declined the repair and wanted the device back. (they had to do something to the device because the IMIE is for a black phone not a grey one)
now i have the purple hue issue on my phone. I dont have a back up to let them have for 3 months as they figure out what parts they can pull to put into it. so i wont be dealing with their repair center. to much hassle to maybe get the phone fixed.
@synisterwolf
I find it VERY hard to believe in your story. (Trying my best not to sound negative... lol) Because I was one of the first people people to get the M7 and I got the Purple Hue as well. From the day I sent me phone, to the time it came back repaired at my doorstep... it was about 10 days. Including shipping. My HTC rep online was so helpful and helped me send it in with ease.

When did you send it in? Everyone has different experiences. If you read up in the international One section, you would see his story isn't too far fetched. If you used an unlock token or sent it in s-off and/or unlocked, they can in fact deny warranty claim and try to charge you for a new motherboard. (That is where the $250 charge would come from).

I did S-On when I sent it in, I'm sure that made my process a lot smoother. This was about exactly a year ago. My purple issue wasn't horrible at first, but it progressively became worse so after like 6 months of suffering I sent it in.

Well,, if you sent in shortly after the m7 was realised, HTC said up and down it was software for quite awhile. You must have sent it in after they admitted it was hardware.

it was easy because it was in warranty. Mine and my roommates are both out of warranty. Even though HTC did say they would fix because they acknowledged it was in fact hardware related. I was like pulling teeth to get it done. I understand they will be fast for warrantys but the could care less if you are out of the 1 year range.
My roommates phone was never S-off or dev unlocked. he still has it 100% stock (which is weird to me) and HTC still did what they did. I guess you need to catch the right CSR on the right day or you could end up like he did. I'm not trying to persuade you not to do so. i just wanted to share the experience he had. When i couldnt get HTC to tell me they would without a doubt fix mine for free i gave up. I do have bestbuys insurance and i get a NEW device if i pay the 150 delectable. So i might wait till the last month i have on contract and pay the delectable and get the new device.
Appreciate the feedback. I haven't contacted HTC yet. My phone is obviously out of warranty (got it aug 2013 I think), though I was banking on HTC taking care of the repair for free since it was a hardware defect. I don't have access to a backup phone, and at this point, I am starting to think it's not worth the trouble to send it in :-/
This is a bummer... I really like the M7.

its worth a shot if the devices isnt your main device. wait till you upgrade then contact HTC and have them fix it. i wish i could remember where i saw that they accepted it as a H/W problem so i have proof but i cant. only the part where they said S/W would fix it. :/

I said it. It is in the device F.A.Q. I will look up the support call as all calls are recorded for legal purposes. I will edit this when I get home and look up my ticket number for you.
Edit: sent PMs to you both with the support numbers as these shouldn't be shared publicly.

synisterwolf and uzephi thanks guys for the input! Got the PM uzephi. I'll definitely give this a shot whenever I do upgrade, although that might not be until August or September. The M7 is still pretty sweet even now, despite the camera issue. Honestly, if I could put in a new battery, I can see myself using the M7 as my main device for at least another year if not more.
Going on a tangent here, but it looks like I may have to with the mixed reviews of the M9 so far. I am guessing Qualcomm really messed up with 810 this time around...
