I dropped my re-stocked device (BL clearly saying RELOCKED) off at a T-Mobile (Germany) shop and received a replacement phone the next day, never heard any complaints about voiding the warranty or "illegal" software (what a bull**** anyways!). That was for the Wifi-fix, btw.
[HTC One X] Ryan J Williams:
Pleased to hear this. Out of interest, how was it solved? Did they back down and agree to absorb the costs? If so, how did you accomplish this — did you play the 'consumer rights' card which I think many of us agree should get you your repairs regardless of what HTC say?

The originally quoted repair costs were outrageous. If I were in that situation it'd probably have been cheaper and less hassle to claim it as broken through my home contents insurance!

What are my chances

happy go lucky me....basically i have had my phone 3 months..i unlocked it and put the wonderful android revolution hd on this was great it worked well and then all of a sudden it started misbehaving lagging taking ages to load....so thought it might need updating so followed everything to the letter of how to install the newest version of android revolution hd and everything on the phone said successfully installed.....when it restarted it kept saying htc sense as crashed and then it would freeze and switch off...only to restart and do the same so finally i wiped the cache and other files ....WHOOPS think i just WIPED EVERYTHING...so i went in to recovery and did a recovery.not working....backup gone void......it is now stuck on htc quietly brilliantly screen...so left it a while to see if anything had happened...and the phone was off ...tried to switch on would not ...the only way it comes on is if i plug it in and then it's stuck on recovery...screen...so have managed to relocked it .....so i wrote to htc saying that i think i accidently wiped everything off my sd card ...plus its relocked so what you think my chances are anyone.and before i finish i would just like to say please don't unlock your htc as it's better just leave it alone and expensive now its cream crackered ...plus i ain't got no beats audio anymore...now that's bad.also i think htc should be sued for allowing unsuspecting people to unlock there bloody bootloader...in the first place...... fingers-crossed:

Got the same problem here in Belgium with Coolblue, they wouldn't repair my phone and wanted to charge me 455€ just five days after buying the phone, supposedly to replace the motherboard. i'll have to live with a cracked screen after paying 55€ jsut to have it returned to me. Shame indeed !
[HTC One X] Dr.Paul:
I sent in my htcdev unlocked device and they repaired it. I'm in the UK.
[HTC One X] AdamLange:
In EU they must fix it. No one cares here about unlocked bootloader :)
[HTC One X] mibikin:
I hope I can send my phone from the US. I bought my phone at a second handstore, and the boot loader came relocked. I bought the phone in Lebanon, so I can't return it now. But I hope I don't nav any problems..

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] Amicushia:
Coolblue is ripping you off, I send it to HTC directly and motherboard replacement was €223,36.
[HTC One X] manikm303:
I unlocked my phone using HTCDEV - and was worried when i sent off my phone for repair (GPS issues)

they repaired it no problem - UPS picked it up, and brought it back within 7 days.

So, it's official. Motorola, Google's h/w division, is following Asus and HTC and voiding warranties for unlocking their devices.

Motorola Unlocking Bootloaders Starting with the Photon Q

Posted by Adam Mills | 07/26/2012

Motorola, which has long kept its Android smartphones under lock and key, has said that it will start unlocking bootloaders on Android phones starting with the upcoming Motorola Photon Q, a device that is headed to Sprint’s 4G LTE network.

In a post on its official blog, Motorola details the long awaited policy change saying that it will allow users of the Motorola Photon Q to unlock the bootloader using an as of yet unannounced solution.

We assume it will provide a tool for owners much in the same way that HTC does for its devices. The process will also likely void the warranty on the devices once it is used.

Motorola says that in the future, it will start to unlock the bootloaders on other devices as well. The company did not specify which devices would get their bootloaders unlocked but we imagine that the list will include some of the more well known phones. The Motorola Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX perhaps.

Repaired

They repaired my unlocked OneX at the service center here in Singapore w/ free pick up and delivery. No questions asked abut the bootloader.
[HTC One X] mouzaihem:
All you guys who had your phones repaired with the unlocked boatloader making me want to unlock my phone asap. Waiting a little to see if any problems surface. phone only week old :o

Doesn't help that I'm in the US and any fix requiring the replacement of motherboard could cause me problems due to ban by customs. Maybe they would void my warranty if I had an unlocked bootloader to avoid the headache :p
[HTC One X] pokosik:
I send to repair my HOX two times width unlocked bootloader, they only said that only hardware issues can be fixed under the warranty because bootloader is unlocked. But exactly hardware issues is main problem on this phone, so everything is ok. But now I send it third time and wrote a request for replacement because its always has the same problem. It is creaking when I press left top corner or bottom glass under the home button. So I hope they will replace it...
[HTC One X] WiZARD7:
from the Hungarian (EU) HTC service centers webpage:

which means: Using the unlock service (established for the developers) voids your warranty. blablabla... Therefore the factory

won't

give hardware or software warranty for such devices.

:(
[HTC One X] AdamLange:
If HUngary are under European union law then this statement is a total b*****. They MUST fix issues that are h/w fault. Before 6 months they must provide you proof that it was your faoult. after that you should provide proof that your actions didnt break the device.
[HTC One X] SoulSmasher:
I just received my phone, which was unlocked via HTCDev, and then re-locked today.
[HTC One X] beshar:
Reading this thread makes me hope that my phone won't be needing warranty service for the 2 years I have it on contract.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
You guys can huff and puff all you want about whether what HTC's doing is right, moral, or legal. The bottom line is if your phone breaks and they refuse to repair it under warranty, at that moment, you have two choices: 1) pay what they're asking and get it fixed, or 2) pay what they're asking for shipping to have it returned unfixed. After you get it back one way or the other you can spend weeks or months fighting over what you understand your rights to be. There are at least a dozen stories in the Wi-Fi h/w thread that have ended just as I described is spite of the Sale of Goods act and all the other protections the Brit's talk about.

Some regions are repairing phones with unlocked bootloaders, some aren't. And where they aren't, some have sneaked through. To be safe, you should just assume HTC's not going to fix your phone under warranty after you've unlocked it and be prepared for a long and time consuming fight involving watchdogs, regulators, and other third parties to get their position reversed. If you put a value on people’s time, some have already invested more than they paid for their phone arguing with HTC over this policy.

It still amazes me that after this policy’s been known for a while people are still buying a One X, unlocking it, being refused repair, and then acting shocked that it happened. I'm really happy with my phone but understanding the warranty issues I'd recommend against it for people that want to unlock it and aren't willing to accept the consequences if they do.
[HTC One X] getrich:
Regarding the yellow spo,t my hox had it too in the same location but was gone after 10+ days of usage. You should wait two weeks before sending the phone or wait at least a month after you got the phone before unlock it to see if any issues occur. Don't jump into developer mode, even if its HTC, Samsung or any other phone. Furthermore .. I don't see any reasons to unlock the phone so early .. the original rom runs just fine .. there will also be updates in the future (JellyBean or 4.0.4 updates).
[HTC One X] ska:
How did they solve? Exchange? Repair?
[HTC One X] ViktorN:
I think that everyone (well, except you I guess) knows that unlocking the device and flashing a custom rom makes you warranty useless. It says clearly on every rom thread. I would rather die than not be able to run different roms. Well that might be an exaggeration, but I really love flashing different roms and I have been doing it for years. Just be careful and double check that you did everything right. Put a case on so it doesn't get damaged. Put a screen protector on so the screen doesn't get scratched. Just be careful with your phone and there will be no need to send it in for a repair.
[HTC One X] Eambo:
Not all issues are user faults however, and this is the big problem.

I've had my One-X for two weeks now, and initially I was very happy with it. Foolishly I've unlocked, and now issues are rearing their ugly head :( So far:

- Two yellow 'spots' on each bottom corner of the screen (weren't there initially)

- Wifi randomly turning itself off, then back on again (interrupting downloads, browsing etc.)

I'm going to send back to where I bought it and hope for a replacement and they don't check that it's unlocked, as it's a really new phone, but I understand I may have screwed myself over unfortunately :(
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Both issues you mention seem software related.

The yellow spot appeared for me to just after I unlocked my machine and flashed a custom rom (I was upset about it too). It disappeared for me after a couple of hours and I have never seen it anymore.

The wifi problem you mention could be a custom rom issue as well. Try another custom rom or return to stock and see if the issue is still there.
[HTC One X] pokosik:
ok so it is continue of my story... They returned my phone and interrupted my warranty because my bootloader was unlocked. So i went to shop where i bought my phone and said what happened to me. they scanned all my warranty papers and said that they will send everything for person who is responsible for such things and they will try to connect with HTC and to resolve the problem. But they said if HTC won't refund them they won't replace my pone. But if such thing will happen I will take other measures... but definitely i won't pay 600eur for crackling crap I got. to be continued..
[HTC One X] wally80:
The problem of the yellow spots is a well known hw problem. I had it on my hox. I sent it to HTC for warranty repair and it was fixed by replacing the display.

And yes, my phone was already unlocked via htc-dev. I just took the precaution to reinstall the original ruu before sending it.
[HTC One X] cmajetic:
companies always try that ****. in my opinion even the try should be punished by the law and should cost them thousends of dollars/euros/... every time. maybe then they stop acting like that...

i cannot understand that you have to write dozens of mails, make many calls, pay a lot of shipping costs because they sent you a device with a problem!

they should be sued over and over again just for the try, because it is always the same, when you complain and complain and complain they do what the law says...but i don't see why we have to do that...
[HTC One X] nech.q:
This is my last HTC device anyway, look at how they're doing their business, it reminds me why they made so many stupid decisions, bureaucracy, what Peter Chou told world about themselves.
[HTC One X] jamike77:
The exact same thing just happened to me. I had an entire row of pixels stuck on bright green, shipped it to HTC USA, they tried to "replace my motherboard" and charge me $240 for it, because it was unlocked. Get stuffed, I'm selling the phone on eBay for a huge discount and never getting another HTC again in my life. No way on earth a custom ROM can ever cause a bunch of stuck pixels...
[HTC One X] P4ULM4C:
I unlocked mine I just relocked it and sent it in for a WiFi hardware problem as long as it is not unlocked HTC will repair your device aslong as it is still under warranty
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
I think we have had enough conversations in this forum. please don't rant and start the mess again. HTC has been responsible enough and has performed the required action in several cases.
[HTC One X] Thant:
if you put the stock rom and relock the phone, they will repaier for free.

Simply unlocking and relocking the bootloader would not have invalidated the warranty

If you do your job they will do their job.Read carefully the first post and the mail in it.
[HTC One X] matt95:
Not exactly... HTC will discover that your phone has been unlocked through htdev.com, in that case they will decide if your problem is Hw or Sw related. If it is software they won't repair it for free... We do not have s-off so we can't hide the fact that we have unlocked the bootloader
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Go read the Wi-Fi issue thread. There are many, many reports of people who put their phone back to stock, but were still told they had to pay for a motherboard replacement before a known factory defect -- the Wi-Fi issue -- would be fixed.
[HTC One X] BlueSingA:
Indeed. That's why it remains "relocked", because they know you've previously unlocked the bootloader. That's why some are being insistent on S-off, with it you can lock (not relock) the bootloader. That said, I'm not sure if you can or can't remove the "tampered" flag when you S-off the device?

edit: Some people that got their devices bricked (stuck in read-only on all partitions) by Trip's kernel from almost two months earlier were able to brick the bootloader as well, causing it to get locked instead of relocked, but that hasn't worked for everyone affected.
[HTC One X] A Stoned Raichu:
Strange... My first one x had signal issues and it was running ARHD when i sent it with unlocked bootloader.. They sent me a brand new sim free handset back in may :rolleyes:

That was via HTC itself tho if that makes a difference..

Did you send it running CFW ? would sending it with stock make a difference?

- ASR
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
This is an endless discussion leading nowhere actually.....yes you void some warranty.... known problem. Some gets fixed for free some dont, depends on what day and time your phone hits the repair center and who gets your phone in his hands ! Is he grumpy.....couldn't climb over his girl the night before.....it will probably cost money ;) got his coffee on time .... He may let it slip. The phone is tampered yes, but we people tamper a lot more. Taxes, soccer even sickdays from work !

:D
[HTC One X] Von Ropen:
The title of the post is not true. My phone was unlocked by htcdev, later I had problems with my wifi and then I sent it to repair. HTC repaired it for free and the phone was unlocked. So the title is a lie it deceptive xda members. Please, change and respect others xda members of this forum who had a positive experience.
[HTC One X] BlueSingA:
You are a funny guy. Did you not read the post just before yours at least? In very normal circumstances, you would have been charged for the repair.. perhaps you weren't because the wi-fi issue wasn't related to unlocked bootloader/software and a bit of a good mood of whoever got their hands on your phone. Just because you had a "positive experience" doesn't mean the majority would too. "Please change and respect..." bro, get off your high horse please, how did the topic name offend you? lol...
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
The title is exaggerating as HTC do sometimes repair free anyway. It just needs the "will never" changing to "might not"
[HTC One X] Von Ropen:
Please be respectfull with the opinion and experience of other users and don't use the ironic tone of your reply. The title is simply faulse. Provide proves of your statement. As there are a lot of users that have unlocked and repaired for free the title is just ofensive and a lie.

[HTC One X] BlueSingA:
I don't need to provide anything to you, there's a whole lot of HOX XDA forum to go around, start reading and see for yourself. I'm respectful to experience of other users, and I say I'm glad you and some others got their devices fixed free of charge with unlocked bootloader, but I'm gonna use whatever tone I want when you act so superfine as if there was a reason to be offended by the title, which happens to be right in most cases rather than not.. deal with it. HTCdev states that upon unlocking the bootloader you may void your warranty, and respecting others opinions applies to you as well - actually read the forum and you'll see far more users that actually had to pay. Secondly, whether you're going to pay or not really depends on the nature of the problem too, and there's many, many other factors.. just because you found yourself lucky doesn't mean you're right and your attempts to make your opinions absolute, like no other opinion matters but yours, are in fact - ridiculous. Now get offended all you like, I'm not losing any sleep over your (over)emotions. Cya
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The simple fact is that the word "never" in the title IS misleading.

Anyway, consumer protection laws often override warranty, so losing warranty might not be such a big deal. The retailer may be responsible for getting it fixed if it's a manufacturing defect.
[HTC One X] Alex-V:
O2 replaced my phone...i was relocked and had strange display problems.....i´m now from variant 0 to a 1 chip....
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
And the simple fact that it is a lottery whether you get a repair or not means it is irresponsible to make it clear to users that there's a strong chance they won't get their phone repaired.

HTC need to provide clear guidance as to what invalidates the warranty, and abide by it.
[HTC One X] Von Ropen:
Lets go to keep an eye on Collins dictionary to see if the title is a lie or not:

verb

Word forms: lies, lying, lied

intr to speak untruthfully with intent to mislead or deceive

intr to convey a false impression or practise deception ⇒ the camera does not lie

noun

an untrue or deceptive statement deliberately used to mislead

something that is deliberately intended to deceive

See give the lie to

So, if you affirm that if you unlock your device via htcdev they will never repair your phone and there are A LOT of users that confirm that they have unlocked their devices via HTCdev nd they has been repaired for free it means that that the title is not completely true. And if it is not true, and you know that is not true because you afirm that there are users that have been repaired 4free, it means that it is an untrue statement deliberately used to mislead people. Or the other option is that you are a fool (as Collins says a persons who lacks sense or judgement)

I will recommend change the title for a true statement as:

Do not unlock your HTC one x via htcdev as HTC MAY NOT repair your phone.

And finally tell you that the only opinion matters you is yours as you not admit that Htc will repair unlocked devideces. And please, be respectfull and do not offend people opinions saying that are ridiculous.
[HTC One X] Flyinace2000:
I just moved from the US to London. Been using the One X now for about 3 weeks and have loved it. I still do some banking with ING Direct that has a new application out to deposit checks via the camera. But it says it isn't available in my country. Is there a good way around this?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Could try Market Enabler but bar that I doubt it
[HTC One X] fredo490:
My answer comes a bit late but it might be useful for others. I had the same problem as you except that it was between France and Taiwan (where one cannot download paid application even if you bought then before).

The solution is simply keeping your old simcard !

Since I've put my new local simcard in my phone, a Fareastone, I got the market restriction. But as I put my French simcard in it, a Bouygues Telecom, everything comes back.

It appears that even if my French simcard doesn't work anymore (I've canceled the contract), it still remove the market restriction. Hope it helps

★[KERNEL] ♪ ♫ TITANIUM KERNEL ♪ ♫ [Testers Needed]★

Hello,

I am a Kernel developer, and I decided to spend time and develop for Sony Xperia NeoV since there are many users!

I do not own the device, I will go slow

My first few builds will be very basic and simple,

Once people test and report back to me that the build boots, I will compile Kernels with more features.

My Kernel is based on the Latest Kernel sources by Sony.

Extract the zip and flash the kernel via fastboot.
