Settings in rezound where it says phone name, mine says htc wildfire s ? Came this way from Verizon, just wondering if anyone else's rezound is like this

Click phone name and change it. I named mine PIE.
Just a screw up from Verizon? Makes me curious, anyone tried s-off method for wildfire s on rezound? Just a thought
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
You know, I seem to remember having seen "wildfire" somewhere, but I just looked and it says ADR6425LVW. I didn't do anything to it myself.
Mine had the whole ADR# as the name. I just renamed it Rezound!!
That is an interesting thought about the Wildfire and S-off.

btw... you might want to take your phone number off that attachment, and some of that other info might be sensitive as well.
No, and with the obvious ability to edit it, either you did it, or someone else did it to either play a trick on you, or before you got the device.
probably the dumb a's at Verizon
I made mine Vigor because I still don't like the Rezound name.

Nah, In fact you should add your American Express card number and repost...
You guys do realize that Verizon doesn't have anything to do with the names right? Comes that way from HTC...
The more I think about it the more certain I am that when I got my phone it said HTC Wildfire S as well. I remember seeing that, I can picture it. I was going through all the settings since this is my first smartphone and I'm fascinated by it and can picture it.
Also, I had never heard about another phone named Wildfire until googling that name after seeing this thread.
I never changed it and when I looked at again after reading this thread it had the model in there. I've since changed it to say HTC Rezound.
Go ahead and call me crazy, all my RL friends do.
Funny the wildfire s never had a software supported s off method. Hope its not a sign

So i really want to unlock but im worried about it still saying re-locked at the top if i ever have to send it back for any reason just in case. Maybe im just paranoid but i have already had 1 replacement and i don't want to have trouble if i need another. Anyways, my question is has anyone successfully returned a rezound BY MAIL. i dont care about if it worked in a store, i have to send it back by mail. Has anyone done it? If so, post your results
PS. I am not new to rooting, i had a Dinc and loved all the roms for it but you could always get it back S-on if you needed a replacement and there's no way to do that with this one.

You still have HTC's Warranty, as for Verizon.. A store Visit they won't really bother going as deep as checking the bootloader... A mail in to Verizon they would notice once they try to Debug it before selling it off as Refurbished and sending you another
But DO they check and debug that deeply. Going to a store is really just not an option for me and I don't want to be stuck with a defective phone if I can't get it replaced and its a hardware problem.
EDIT: Also, what does HTC's warentee cover vs. Verizon's?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
HTC claims they will cover all HW issues NOT related to unlocked bootloaders. Verizon is kinda up in the air. I can say plenty of people have said that they have sent multiple phones back to Verizon while still rooted and s-offed, so not just the rezound and have never been charged.

In all reality it comes down to the individual person at Verizon who checks the phone... Somebody might load up the Bootloader and See "Unlocked" and all hell breaks loose... Or some dude might just ignore it and flash a Factory Locked Bootloader and move on..
As for Warranty IDK.... Check the manuals that came with the phone
So, here's the better question, has anyone here actually been slapped with a fine for returning an unlocked bootloader?

I understand the dual core keeps up with its quad core cousin overseas, but why a downgrade in the screen too?
I really was hoping htc would follow the galaxy line and just basically change the name depending on the provider (plus a few other small changes) . Forget upgrades, as we all know about samsung and their upgrades.
I'm glad to see kickstand back, but it looks like a plastic pos. It has already been stated that sprints version will not be their big dog. I can't say for sure, as I have not played with it, but htc does not appear to be picking up their game when they need to.

Grounding the contact just forces the phone into download mode so they can unlock it. The only other way to get there (that I know of) is to softbrick the phone by breaking the hboot signature.
Damn. People had to get really clever to get to that. That's amazing. Hopefully our way forward will be simpler and safer. I'll bet many people traded the the rezound for something simpler to S-off

You all know that douche Dallasskater. He is NOT my friend and never will be. I created an account to prove everything. He was telling everyone that I modified my rez extremely. Which I did but not that drastic. Then he started making it sounding like it was fake and made a poorly Photoshopped benchmark which looked bad.
All I did was make it slcd to slcd 2, upgraded to S4 1.7gh. No I did not upgrade the battery. I just saw a slim battery on amazon which was 1950mh and was for Rez so I bought it. No I did not install imagesense chip which I think he said I did. Mainly SLCD2 and S4 Chip. Also upgraded 2 Gig ram.

I dont know what else to show you to prove. I can show whatever you want to prove I did except open up the phone. I had a hard time unscrewing the device the time I did because the grooves on the screws are bad and don't want to ruin them anymore.

Oh yea I forgot to tell you I work for HTC and I'm really not suppose to show you this or tell you about this. I suggested about a Rezound HD and showed it to rest of HTC but they decided not to and went to the One X+ because the original One X got more sales. I got to keep the prototype since I modded it.
I have a PhenomII X6, 26GB of RAM, the new LG Nexus motherboard and screen INSIDE my Rezound, and it transforms into the new 2013 Porsche Cayman. Also, because Android still sucks even the newest Jelly Bean, I installed iOS6.5 (The new developer beta version of iOS7, unreleased. I actually got this straight from an inside source inside of Apple
I am willing to prove it too, just tell me what you want to see, except for actual pictures. That isn't possible anymore because the phone is also now invisible, after I installed an invisibility cloak casing. Seriously though, I really did these mods. I'm super cool and you guys should all like me.

This is interesting because I read that HTC is throwing in the towel on tablets for right now because they can't compete in the market. But then again, they said they'd stop making a million phones a year, and they're still releasing phones over and over. So....
I think that was a fake... Someone released some leaked pictures of it or something and it was too ugly to be believable. And then HTC confirmed it was dropping out of the tablet market as well as dropping support for the first Flyer.
