Mr. Bell,

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately, it looks like I will not have the additional info until the beginning of next week. I will communicate with you as soon as I have it.

Thank you for your patience,

Starting to hate AT&T more and more
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xandr115:
Could/should we post this in Android general to get the xda community as a whole to help us sign the petition?

https://www.change.org/petitions/at-t-htc-let-us-unlock-the-htc-one-x-bootloader
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rev1775:
I believe this will definitely keep me from buying this phone.. will see what develops but it isn't looking good at all..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tom_m:
Yes, I would. I would share it with everyone you can if getting signatures if your goal. If getting signatures from specific people who may actually own the device is the goal then I guess not...But I don't see why someone couldn't sign a petition who simply just disagrees with what's going on even if it doesn't directly effect them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xdp:
If this does not get unlocked I may buy the international version of this phone and pair it with Straight Talk instead. Anyone else considering this?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NextNexus:
I actually view this as good news. If they were not going to unlock the bootloader there would be no delay in announcing it. If they are planning it, they need to work out the procedure with HTC and organize a PR release etc which could take a few days. Could be the reason the representative couldn't update you yet!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rev1775:
The Sprint model isn't even available yet and their bootloader is not locked. I don't think it needs to take long to "work out" the procedure. Just my opinion on that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NextNexus:
You don't think sprint and htc worked this out a while ago!? Don't be foolish.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I still can't get my head around the fact that those of us who pay full retail for these devices are stuck with the same limitations as subsidized customers. i BOUGHT this device. It is MINE. I am not told by the manufacturer of my PC that I can't have root access.

I'm not restricted to a particular internet provider.

I'm loving this phone, but dammit if it doesn't get boot loader unlock soon I'm returning it and buying an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rev1775:
Not being foolish, I sure they had that worked out ahead. That just shows you AT&T has no desire to unlock it else they would/should have done the same. Again, just my thought, right or wrong! :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NextNexus:
Agreed, AT&T

HAD

no plans to unlock it but with all the backlash it's easily feasible that they are changing course. Doing so would take some time as they work out the details with HTC and their PR/communications dept.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Scott:
Nothing on Elevate from HTC...

But I did get my ATT One X today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rev1775:
Let's hope so, as it is what will keep me from getting the device. I looked at one today at the store and love the screen, just not at the expense of losing the true abilities this phone could have.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Toaster Strudels:
they can't get u in trouble lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rambo8987:
I know a lot of people won't, but I've decided to cancel my contract with at&t, the customer service isn't great especially for the price I pay each month, then throw this issue with the one x( and not just bootloader, but storage size as well meaning ill eat through data using online storage) its really sad that at&t has tampered with this device, it really could of been the ONE. I know sprint has the HTC EVO LTE coming out in a week or so, all pretty much Identicle to the one, my question is, has anyone ever experienced bootloader lock down with their devices?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] voluptuary:
If you are worried just make a fake account like I did... I'm not really Robert Dole.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
No internet police. Do whatever the hell you want.

Just tell people not to buy the phone

"WARNING: THE HTC ONE X HAS A LOCKED BOOTLOADER. DO NOT BUY IT"

or something like that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kevina90:
Looks like its time to boycott the device...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beez1717:
Be glad you are not on Verizon where keeping the bootloader locked is standard practice.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
Sadly it might have to come to that. I really don't want to though. I'm waiting for an official response from AT&T.

Also we need more people tipping Engadget.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
Who cares?! It's totally worth it! This needs to be heard!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] voluptuary:
^-- This! I've tipped them multiple times with both the original thread here @ xda and the verge article.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] F1reEng1neRed:
Cancelled my pre-order. May reconsider if they decide to pull their collective heads out of their butt.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
The Vivid took almost 2 MONTHS for AT&T to cave in and let it be unlocked.

I'm sure we can do better than that for this device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Toaster Strudels:
mister mushroom, you are NOT getting the gs3 like you said on the verge :) you are staying on this device because i like ur name and we need people to stay and not leave and just be patient and let the protesting get to their head. plus, we can just stay chill for a while after the phone comes out so we can explore the universe and have a nice day

edit: i think this protesting is getting to my head... lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
Haha trust me, I want this device badly. Don't worry. ;)

Better convince DG to keep his though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Toaster Strudels:
DG is supposedly giving it to his wife. hopefully he will yank it back when we get that boatloader unlcoedk lol.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Artimus009:
I wonder what tampering they are going to do on the SGSIII when it lands.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mikelebz:
Just posted a novel on AT&T facebook....look it up and comment if you wish:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tom_m:
AT&T is known historically for technology development as I pointed out in that petition in hopes that it would remind them. Things like the AT&T Foundry (I could walk to it literally) and AT&T Labs, etc. I think eventually if this does have enough publicity they will change it and as someone else noted, the delays in their response is probably a good sign. They need to figure out a way to deliver the message...Which could go either way, but I think good.

The fact of the matter is, I think other parts of the AT&T company as a whole will not want to keep this bootloader locked given their other initiatives. I believe that they will want to keep good developer relations and continue to be seen as leaders in this space...So I think eventually they will unlock it because of this.

Now, if no one said anything....Then sure they'd keep it locked. So yay =) Good job everyone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
Very nice! :D

Also thanks again for posting there.

But keep it up. More BBB complaints. We'll hear something soon.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jayv81:
Is there some kind of generic copy and paste letter I can send to the BBB. I'm just not that good at formal letter writing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pside15:
I don't understand why everyone is freaking out. Does it suck to be locked, sure, but its not the end of the world and definitely not a reason to return the phone, or not get one at all. I came from the Vivid and I had no doubt this phone would be locked as well. It's the exact same scenario, all non AT&T versions could be unlocked but not the AT&T one. The Vivid was unlocked after a short time and I'm sure the HOX will be as well. The situations so far are identical and I don't see why the end result won't be as well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
their just jumping ship for the s3
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] louis.b:
Just wanna confirm my theory: do most ppl participating in this petition hold off buying the one X and wait until BL is unlocked? and if ATT never allows it you guyz just dont buy it at all? (not taking account other reasons like bugs etc.)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mesasone:
While I agree it's ****ty, it's equally ****ty for people who got the phone on contract with subsidy. When I walked into the AT&T store and bought the phone for $199, I agreed to sign a two year contract for service in exchange for that subsidy. There are provisions in the contract for AT&T to recoup their losses if I break the contract, namely the Early Termination Fee. I'd didn't pay less because I agreed to have my device crippled. I have no less of a right to have full access to my phone than you do.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Bigjim1488:
Maybe if the phone didn't have as many issues as it does this wouldn't be a problem. :rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
It's ****ty for all of us but there's no benefit to us paying full price for a phone. An unlocked device should be a benefit IMHO
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xdp:
Correct. If it's not unlocked by the time the SGSIII is out, and if that is unlocked, then that will be my purchase. I won't reward ****ty behavior. If that surprisingly falls to the same fate, then I will buy an unlocked international version or stay with Sprint or something.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tom_m:
Subsidized or not, it should unlock. The subsidy is there simply because you signed 2yr agreement. The benefit of paying full price should not be that you get to unlock it if everyone else can't. I mean trust me, I'd love for you to be able to unlock it. We all want to unlock it. But the benefit for paying for a phone full price is to not be locked into the 2yr agreement.

...But my feeling is screw it, break the contract and pay the ETF. It's not that bad anymore.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] h8rift:
Something some of you don't realize....by buying the S3 from AT&T....you are still paying them. They really don't care how....while at the same time you are not rewarding HTC for having a great device, releasing source within a month of release (Samsung doesn't hardly do it after a flippin' year!), and are not telling them that you still want HTC around.

Best attack is complaints and/or buying international HOX. I have an AT&T HOX and I am perfectly fine with waiting for a bit for an unlock...everyone should really chill out on the flaming and should sign the petition and complain to BBB....then leave it at that.

</off soapbox>
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] filthyfnj24:
I have absolutely no faith in AT&T and doubt that they will ever officially unlock the bootloader. I do however have faith in the brilliant minds out there working their asses of to unlock the bootloader. Coming from an Atrix I learned a little patience and I think it will be rewarded greatly in this case. This is a beautiful device and a steal for $199 or below and I think it would be foolish to return it just to try and prove a point to AT&T. Lets face it, they don't care, they don't give a damn about us or what we want to do with or phones, we are nothing but walking dollar signs to them. So I'm going to keep the phone...let's be real here, even with the stock rom this is probably the best GSM phone available (only thing that looks remotely better is the new evo and that's only because of the larger battery and SD slot) And that's only been improved with root access and will only get even better WHEN our bootloader gets unlocked. In due time my brothers.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] h8rift:

And remember....Moto is the one who screwed the pooch on the Atrix. AT&T is the one screwing this pooch. We're complaining over unfair carrier intervention, not poor manufacturer customer service :-)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pside15:
What are you basing this on? The only other HTC phone in this same boat was the Vivid and it got an official unlock. Why would the HOX be any different?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tom_m:
I agree, patience :)

...And this is an amazing phone, even stock. The sense UI has been crash free.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] louis.b:
So despite the fact that this is clearly an ATT's decision and despite all of HTC's past effort to unlock BL for all of their devices and despite HOX's greatness, you punish HTC and the One x. Well for once only HTC can blame itself for not being a multibillion corporation like Samsung or Apple to have better negotiation powers w carriers.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xdp:
I see your point, I really don't want to punish HTC for something that is out of their control, I think this phone looks like an awesome device. And I know that by buying the SGSIII I am still giving AT&T my money. But if you purchase the device despite your gripe with it, why would you expect AT&T to ever change the policy? Likewise, I have to think about my own experience. I am probably going to want CM9 on either of these devices, so I should purchase the one that has the highest chance of letting me do that easily.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
Go to BBB.org.

It's more checking boxes than anything else. You only have to write a few sentences.

Just bring up how it's your personal hardware and how the AT&T Vivid is able to have it's bootloader unlocked through HTC Dev.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
complaint filed with BBB
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
filed a complain with the BBB with the following description

"HTC promised that every device in it's line up following September 2011, would have bootloader unlock capability. AT&T is forcing HTC to go against this claim and cast aspersions on their own claim by not allowing the HTC One X to be unlocked. I feel it is unfair that AT&T users of the HTC One X are made the minority because they chose to get the phone through AT&T. The U.S. Bill of Rights were intended to protect the minority from the majority. The minority here are users of the HTC One X on AT&T. I realize it is our choice to go to AT&T, our choice to buy the phone from them, and most of all, our choice to subsidize our phone purchases through them, but we shouldn't be made the minority because of that. All AT&T needs to do is give us a warning that if we unlock our phone, they're no longer liable for any replacement of our phones, and allow us the liberty that HTC would have granted us were they unabated. The One X will lose a lot of it's following as a high-end android device and I believe it would be in AT&T's best interest to allow the bootloader unlocking as to reinstate the HTC namesake in their company. This would benefit both parties."

let's see if I hear anything back.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:

i don't think at&t is going to care about complaints or emails. they've responded with "well you can buy from someone else :)" and that's that. maybe i should return this phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ExtractedDeath:
AT&T is so great at keeping their customers loyal :p

On a side note, I posted on their Facebook and got other people to sign the petition.

Even if it doesn't work, it'll be a list of a lot of the people AT&T doesn't give a shutttttttt about :)

Side note 2.. I love this phone. I could never return it..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] self.hating.att.slave:
yeah it's my first android/smartphone and i am pretty impressed, but i was looking forward to really customizing it. some people on here say that at&t will unlock it eventually, but it sure doesn't look like it. I especially don't like the lack of space for movies and stuff, i'm not renting or streaming on a 3GB bandwidth limit. I dunno, i've got another week or two to decide. I really hate at&t.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Check this article out.

Can We Unlock The HTC EVO 4G LTE Bootloader? YES

When I first heard that we could not unlock the Bootloader in the HTC One X, I started to wonder if the HTC EVO 4G LTE would have a similar problem, and I am happy to say that everything is good.

Android Central did the test and found that the HTC EVO 4G LTE's Bootloader was easy to unlock. That goes to show you that it is not a HTC issue when it comes to the HTC One X and AT&T. That is clearly a AT&T issue. AT&T can say all they want now, we know it is them. The HTC EVO 4G LTE has yet to be released and it already has the capability.

On May 18th, when you get your HTC EVO 4G LTE you can just head on over to HTCdev and Unlock that Bootloader.

LINK to original article

So it appears it is def. AT&T behind the locked bootloader :mad:

This phone is not even out till May 18th and the bootloader can be unlocked
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
I thought we already knew it was AT&T..HTC has said it was AT&T. And wouldn't another One X (Rogers) that can also be unlocked, be more proof to this than a similar EVO?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] belyle:
I filed a complaint with BBB this morning. Used basically the same text posted earlier in this thread. My concern is that there are still not very many people, even if we are vocal. It's discouraging to think that only ~600 people even care enough to sign an online petition.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] soccermon15:
I posted on the AT&T facebook page several times. I submitted a complaint to the BBB. And I signed the petition.

I'm really hoping the BL gets unlocked within the next two months or so. My T-Mobile contract will be up in August and I was going to switch to AT&T to be on a family plan with my new wife. I was really hoping to have a beautiful, unlockable and fully customizable One X to use once I switched over. Hopefully that happens.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] extol1337:
I signed the petition. I'm sure someone will eventually unlock the bootloader with or without HTC and AT&T's acceptance or not.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Loneeagle14:
When I contacted them I basically said this. I was respectful, but explained that it was only matter time before it happens anyways through unofficial means. We have way too many talented people on our side. Figured they'd rather pose themselves as the company that listened to its customers rather than the company that said "no" only to have it happen anyways. Oh well. They probably don't care either way..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SoberGuy:
While I understand that this decision is one made by AT&T, I do believe that HTC has some responsibility in this. They caved in to the demand, and did so after having promised to unlock all bootloaders.

If anyone is interested, HTC actually has a post on the One X on the G+ page, where a few people have commented about the locked bootloader. The carriers have far too much power, and I wish manufacturers would start telling them no.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Artimus009:

He posted on his Twitter with in the past day that he was looking to purchase a one x in the next few weeks so not sure if that means we won't see anything till he gets the phone or not.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
I've read over this whole thread I'm going to sign and complain with the bbb but I know from the atrix that att unlocked it 2 months later roughly. Plus having used to work in the IT for att I can strongly say that the locked bootloader is because a competitor of HTC requested/put att in a corner. My bet is on Samsung cuz of the note. Which means the locked downloader will be unlocked by 90 days of launch. I never saw it exceed 90 days. It's something about a user private rights law congress passed about 2 years ago.

Edit** I remember the law. Intellectual property law. Locked bootloaders fall under that now due to apple losing the jail breaking case. Us supreme court ruled if someone owns electronic property it is their right to make it how they see fit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I hope that's the case but as far as the law goes if it was true then Apple would have had to release an official bootloader unlock. If att is the culprit here and I feel that they are, then the only thing that will work to reverse it is public pressure. We were able to get them to set a better defined throttle policy because the media got to them. When Sheppard Smith complained on the air about the throttling it was a nightmare for them.
