[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Neon01:
Seller on craigslist seems to be knowledgeable, but I've gotten some seemingly conflicting info based on what I've read on the forum. He told me he just bought the thing, so I suspected that it might have the newest firmware, and might not be able to unlock. I asked him if it was firmware 1.85 or 2.2, and he was only able to say that it was firmware 4.0.4. I linked him to the overview development thread on here talking about how rooting/unlocking 2.2 was impossible, but it didn't seem to help him.

After I told him that I was only interested if it was unlocked/rooted, he said he'd take care of it, no problem. Later he tells me that he got it done with no issues, and that it has SU permissions and whatnot. Even sent me some phone screen grabs that showed firmware 1.85.502.3_R2... and kernel "3.0.8-01155-gca24d1e root@ABM..." as well as a screenshot of Titanium backup that root access OK with a green check ("busybox...") So it seems like he's successfully done it, but I also read on the forum that if the phone had Android 4.0.4, that means it had 2.2, and that's impossible to root. That makes me worry.

I just don't want to waste my time going to meet up if the phone's not what I'm looking for. Not that I'm looking to back out on the guy if the phone is rooted though. I still want it, provided I can put custom roms on it.

Also, I've heard horror stories about stolen phones with tagged IMEI. Any way to check for that sort of thing

Any advice is appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Toaster Strudels:
Usually the whole tagged IMEI thing is for CDMA phones. They tag the ESN so that it cannot be activated. I don't think you should worry about that.

Ask if he has original box and receipt. I only buy if the seller has both.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
Sounds like the guy did what you wanted, so what's the harm in meeting up? Power on the phone, verify the info, make a few calls, visit a few websites, etc.

If it checks out then buy it. Otherwise your the one wasting his time.

Edit: and what TS just said about the box, and receipt (most of the time) is good advice.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Toaster Strudels:
And also, if you can, you should buy new. I haggled a guy on Craigslist to sell me a BNIB One X for $300.... LOL!! best deal ever.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Intub8:
I just bought 3 new from att all were still on the old firmware.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Neon01:
I still want to. One of the things I was hoping to get out of my post here is to see if there are things I can check when I see him in person to verify the root/unlock. On the galaxy nexus there's CWM recovery you can boot into to load ROMs. I assume the One X uses that too?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lazarat:
So you ask him to root and unlock then you say you have doubts about him? I would be pissed off if some buyer asks me to root my phine and then says no I wont buy it!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jayv81:
Just power phone into bootloader if it says unlocked, relocked or tampered you are good to go.

Unlocked means bootloader is unlocked

Relocked means bootloader was unlocked but has been relocked by ruu and should be able to unlock again

Tamper means its rooted but not necessarily bootloader unlocked unless that flag is up also
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raptir:
Most people seem to use TWRP, but it's similar to CWM. When you boot the phone, hold the volume down button and it will take you into the bootloader. If it says *UNLOCKED* at the top, then I believe you're good to go as you can always flash a custom recovery with an unlocked bootloader. If it sacks LOCKED, boot into the OS and check the firmware version (About Phone, Software Information). If it's on firmware 1.85 and Android version 4.0.3, you'll be able to root it. If it's on 2.20 and Android version 4.0.4, you won't be able to root/unlock unless it was already unlocked on 1.85.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Relocked does not necessarily mean you're good to go. If the system was relocked and restored to stock, with SuperCID removed, then updated, you would not be able to root again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jayv81:
Good point.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AJerman:
Actually, IMEIs are being collected now in the new database that they FINALLY built. Still rolling out though from what I understand. I don't know of any way to access this database though. You'd find out when you tried to activate it, but you can activate it over the phone as long as you already have a SIM card, so you could try to activate it before you leave.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Neon01:
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. It sounds like what you're saying is that the phone can be rooted without being unlocked. No? If so, then the question is, what can I do with unlocked (bootloader) access that I can't do with root only access? I want FULL access here.

The photos that he sent me show the firmware version of 1.85, which I would think means I'm all good, but he earlier told me that it's running Android 4.0.4, thus my suspicion.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SkookDroid:
Just go check it out for yourself lol no one on here is gonna know whats on that phone, its up to you man! :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Neon01:
Do I even need to activate it if I've already got a microSIM that I was using in a Gnex? I thought it was pretty much plug and play as long as you're not switching plans or anything.

Then again, my plan isn't currently provisioned for LTE, so I think you're right - that's what I'll do.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Intub8:
You can be on 1.85 and 4.0.4, custom roms don't change the bootloader. One of my phones is running an Asian 4.0.4 Rom and is on 1.85.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
This is what to look for

Boot the phone and hold down the volume rocker.

TAMPERED means it is rooted.

UNLOCKED means the bootloader is unlocked.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Neon01:
Bout to pull the trigger. It sounds like he's got it rooted but not unlocked. Just want to make sure I can unlock it myself. Here's the photo he sent
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jo3holl4nd:
Butters where's your recovery option?!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
I rebooted into bootloader lol.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jo3holl4nd:
Don't scare me like that!!!! I got really worried for you!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
On a slightly related note, if I just restart my phone and hold down the volume rocker, my phone doesn't go in to recovery. I have to power off the phone completely, then turn it back on. I don't think it used to do that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jo3holl4nd:
Wow never tried that I'm running the same ROM and can confirm the same thing. Glad you pointed this out.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lazarat:
Goes to the bootloader then you select the recovery option.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
That's what I meant, but nope. Does not work on restart. I have to shut down completely and then turn the phone back on. It may be the advanced reboot menu in CleanROM but like I said I don't remember that happening in the past.

Hey folks.

I have been toying around with Tasker a bit, and seen similar threads like this, even though they didn't provide any answers. I wonder if it's possible to make Tasker set the stock alarm 1½ hour before my first class of the day. The problem is that my scheme changes during the week. The changes are sync'd with the google calendar.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
I've found that adding "insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko # x8oc.ko" in hw works. Try that out and reboot. I also use an app (setcpu) for ocing. Give that a shot.

i install setspu. but still in 600 and no more 600.

i take a screen shot for u :victory:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
1. Did you push x8oc.ko to /system/lib/modules?

2. If it's a zip file, did you extract it first?

3. did you enter "insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko # x8oc.ko" in hw_config and save it?

4. Check again as a simple typo will cause it to not work.

5. Did you reboot or at least enter "insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko" as su in terminal?

6. Did you use setcpu's detect settings?

I'm guessing it's either a zip file you didn't extract first, or there's a typo in hw.

I see. Well honestly using xrecov or cwm for that zip never worked for me. So just do it manually.

Just extract x8oc.ko found in that file using an app like root explorer and move it to /system/lib/modules. Then enter the line i mentioned in hw_config. Reboot and you're good to go.

[General Questions and Answers] pockrunk:
Hey yall,

When I google how to overclock my Desire C I found out that I need a custom kernel? And some apps state you need the stock kernel..Im confused about this even needing to be done too since I found a youtube video stating that setCPU doesn't need any custom kernel at all..just root access. to to o/u clock

My phone should be rooted later today, Im taking it into a local shop to have it done since I don't own a home PC and have trouble with the PC I was borrowing lol...it runs windows 8 preview.. what a hassle. Also, what OS should I have them install? :)

Any tips on over/underclocking this Desire C? It would be REALLY nice if I could over and underclock it without having to use a custom kernel. Since the information out there is misleading I figure its because some is outdated.

But if this is my only option, does anyone know where I can find an HTC Desire C custom kernel?

edit: I found this on XDA http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1812583 ...is this what I need?

Thanks for being a really great community, I know I can get more out of this economic class phone!

[General Questions and Answers] the blind swordsman:
Hey matt,

You should have them install android I think gingerbread would be your best bet. And try a cyanogenmod rom and I say this because it has a overclocking/ underclocking feature baked into the rom. And all you need to do is go into settings > performance or CPU settings depending on the version of android then change the CPU frequency/voltage to whatever you want.

Hope you get it sorted out bud!
[General Questions and Answers] pockrunk:
hmm

Thanks and awesome suggestion blind swordsman, but it doesn't look like the HTC Desire C is supported by Cyanogen. I would love to try it!

Google didn't come up with much either as for desire c cyanogen.

Do I need the version specific to my device?

Any hope for overclocking my Desire C? :)

Thanks again for your reply!

[LG Optimus Black] optimusBS:
Also be careful getting fake, imitation sd cards out there, it would cause you instability problems like those gallery messing up, occassionaly read write errors when rom flashing or install apps on sd, and sometimes you already deleted this photo/video and will show up later on, getting duplicate copies on thumbnail galleries but actually its the same, so when you delete one, you delete both. You really cant tell the difference from fake to original, most of the time its logo easily fades. Also get those made in japan, korea or taiwan, not those made in china.

don't want to burst your bubble, but that is the digitizer only. i think its really really hard to separate the two from each other. that is why they are so expensive to buy. but hey, might as well try if it is already broke. i understand the lcd is fine btw. i replace screens pretty often and with Samsung, you usually have to buy them fused already. guess it couldn't hurt to try though. good luck to ya, you may need a heat gun and thin wire. keep us updated when it comes in. I'm sure we all would like to know how it goes. good luck
