Warranty UK

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

charge port broken

i dropped my phone off a table while it was plugged in and now it wont charge with any charger. i have th VZW galaxy nexus that i bought used and its rooted. who should i call or where should i bring it?

If it is under warranty, go to your nearest VZW store. They should hook you up with a replacement.

If they say no, then replacing it yourself is really easy. It took me 10 mins including reassembly.
I mean it didn't solve the problem, my phone still won't charge but it was an easy install.

Let me know what Verizon says I have the same issue

They'll say no, guys. You didn't buy it from Verizon, and they know it, they will obviously look at your account.

I have the same problem. Luckily Verizon is sending me a new one under warranty. Seems this phone is more easily susceptible to that than my moto phones I had.

htc one imei block

i have a htc one brand new in box never turned on..
i kept the phone after being sent it by accident (under unsolicited goods act )
if i turn it on will it have imei number blocked ?
if it does what can i do about it ?

yes - since HTC blocked it on their end. there was no vzw update, it was HTC blocking it.
You can wait until the devs get a workaround. thats what I'm doing

I think he means like will he be able to activate it on a network.
You should be good since it's not stolen. Was it sent to YOU or was it delivered to the wrong address? You say it was sent to you by accident... The act you mentioned does not cover items sent to you by mistake.

as long as you didn't steal it, there is no reason for for IMEI to be reported stolen.

T-Mobile S-OFF

The APK name Sunshine and work perfectly. I use in my HTC M8 from T-Mobile. (Important) Use in a Stock (original rom only)
Search in google i can't post url : Sunshine S-OFF, by theroot ninja

fyi to other readers, it's a paid ($25) app. you can try to find an apk yourself, but if firewater is still valid, then just run that. works on most variants.

What is "soff"?

Here is the link its a lil crazy to charge 25 bucks for this though i didnt do it i can live with s-on for now
http://theroot.ninja/

What is "s-on"?
Why do I want "S" to be off?

s-on and s-off are lock states, you want s-off to change your bootloader etc.

Problem is people commit to making a bounty and they never get paid...trust me it's need eventually..should it be free...??not saying u are complaining...price is fair enough

15 is fair 25 is a bit too much in my opinion at least for me it is i switch phones out every few weeks to a month so

At lest you can use it again if u needed with out the extra cost... That's cool

Only on the same device its 25 per device so if you get an insurance claim and get a new phone you have to buy it again

I'm just waiting for a 'coupon' day.

While i agree with you, they seem to be the only ones who found how to soff so they can charge what they want... Hopefully someone else figures out how to do it and charges less as it is too steep for me (i would only use it to remove the red text which is not worth 25 buck for me)

I relocked the bootloader then took the ota and now I can't get the bootloader unlocked. How do I get it unlocked again? When I try to use the sunshine all again it say it can't gain root from supersu. What do I do?

No OEM unlock in developer options Htc One M9 Verizon

Hi everyone,
There's no option about OEM unlock.
I have an Htc One M9 LTE Verizon
Do you know another solution?
Thanks!

You need the Java card s-off method. There is an epic thread on it in the Verizon M9 forum.

If it's not in their, the carrier removed it and you can't unlock your phone without a Java card hack

So where do i get that java card hack ?

Nothing mentions carrier specific devices so i thought BINGO.
I guess those who are so smart that can hack the phone are not so smart to post basic information.
Its ok, i find my self just as dumb sometimes.
I have fallen into the same trap with NOTE 4.
It was DAYS after i discovered that to root NOTE 4 phone has to be developers edition.
Yet so many posts about rooting note 4, even here on this forum.

I meant the s5 man...there's a lot of phones locked up with no help on vzw anymore. At least the m9 can be completely freed.

I just want a similar performance phone with micro SD card support that can be rooted with no hassle.
Anything out there as such besides galaxy ?
i dont like galaxy caz its button are too close to the screen and they are too big making it hard to use with one hand.

NO, he meant "CAN".
Maybe Java card method isn't what you desire....but it does in fact work to completely free the Verizon m9.
Good luck finding any Verizon device which doesn't require some amount of "hassle" to unshackle.

I think you have a bad unit or get horrible reception(I lean more towards bad unit, it happens). I have 3 users with the VZW M9 in Long Island NY and all 3 of them get great battery life. In fact 2 of them are definitely power users and they only rave about it.
Good luck with the G4. It's a nice device to hold you over until the M10 drops!
