I have to send my One Max back to HTC. The question is, since I did HTCDev unlock then rooted and S-Off'd but reversed all that and it is now locked, S-On and I ran RUU on it, is HTC going to know that I unlocked it and rooted when I send out back?

I would say that's perfect sir. But who knows whether its going busted or not. Lol.

Technically they probably know since you did unlocked it by HTC Dev, but chances are good that the repair department and the unlock department aren't communicating as efficiently as we think.lol

So, i have read that the only way that HTC or Verizon can tell that your phone was unlocked using HTC's unlocker was because when you relocked it, on the top of H-Boot it says relocked. I am wondering if anyone has found a way to hide this so you can send it back and have it appear as stock.
When you use the unlocker it also records your ESN so they have your phone on the no warranty list.

What if you have insurance? For example if I magically brick somehow after unlocking, will my insurance be voided or no?

I don't think anyone will truly know until someone has an accident.

I would think it depends if verizon has access to this list from htc. Anyone know if verizon can tell your warrenty status through HTC or if they just go by the date you purchased your phone.

They probably will have the info, we will have to wait to see what they do with it.

Hi,
I have unlocked HTC One X+ and the center part of touch screen stopped responding.
Will they accept rooted HOX+ or I need to unroot it?
EDIT: I live in EU.
you can send it
There won't be any problems (like. they will mail it back to me and I'll have to pay for this etc.)?
As long as you pay for it, there won't be a problem

How much I'll have to pay?
I've read this and I'm confused: https :// fsfe.org / freesoftware/legal/flashingdevices.en.html
I suggest You to relock Your phone and flash RUU to get phone to "stock" It will show relocked in bootloader but here where I live (in Poland) it looks like they still make repairs under warranty whn relocked.
You should call them and make sure

HI,
I'm from the Philippines and experienced the same problem you described (a portion of the touchscreen became unresponsive). I had unlocked my bootloader, rooted and flashed custom ROMs previously. What i did was to relock bootloader using the toolkit and revert to stock rom and recovery using a cid-specific RUU.
I sent it to the service center and they replaced the lcd and digitizer(they're fused together) for free.
It shouldn't be a problem if your screen was broken and you had your phone unlocked and rooted because the root doesn't do anything to break the screen.

So how many have seen this? What's your take on it?

Hadn't seen it until you posted it. Its interesting, i don't support the service but it really shows that we can achieve S-OFF, which is awesome.

They probably achieved s-off via jtag.. so it will be a while before devs achieve s-off. Not saying they can't do it.

wow interesting!
What exactly is jtag? I'm not a noob but I'm definitely not a dev... I also noticed the bootloader still said locked so I'm assuming they didn't have to use HTC dev first like my EVO LTE(just left sprint for T-Mobile). I'd like to keep from having to register my phone with HTC dev in case of warranty issues

Jtag is a service that can flash motherboards, they can unbrick them, root them, s-off, ect. Its only because they have the files from HTC them selves to do it. I have talked to them before in my HTC inspire 4g days.... Ide love to have an evo, 2nd best phone on the market

Ahh I see, makes sense... Too bad they won't release that to the public... I'll be selling my EVO LTE and nexus s 4g as soon as I clear my sprint account... I would have kept it if sprints data wasn't so horrible...

I recently sent my HTC one to HTC for resetting issues, I was issued an out of warranty fee. How did they find out my device had been unlocked at one point? I used revone to lock my device and I s on.. I'm running the new tmobile 1.44 patched firmware. Im wondering if HTC has created some sort of flash counter like Samsung??

That's actually pretty interesting. Why did you send it to HTC rather than T-Mobile though?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Maybe the unlock code being used and associating itself with the phone?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Was it a hardware issue? You should be able to call them and have that waived. They cannot legally refuse to honor the hardware warranty because an unlock code was issued... even if they could prove you actually used it.

Because my device was SIM unlocked and didn't want some crappy refurb..tmobile is hell to get a SIM unlocked pin

HTC is claiming it was overheating that caused the issue which is directly the cause of unlocking my device. I still deny the device was ever locked. HTC said there engineers have a way to detect if the bootloader has ever been tampered with..maybe revone leave traces?

yea i immediately call BS on HTC for that. even before i unlocked my phone it got REALLY hot. kinda an ass move though saying that because you unlocked it immediately made your phone overheat and magicly cause damage.
Somebody should sue them for being misleading. The website should say " it will void your warranty" not this may or maynot crap.

i wish manufactures would let users modify the $670 device theyve purchased. i mean its like buying a laptop but being told you cannot use the backspace key or you void your warranty....
but yes i noticed that too. it says "may void your warranty" instead of "will void your warranty"
I agree an unlocked device is almost impossible to hard brick...with the RUU it's impossible. So yea so long as you don't s off..but flashing roms takes money out of the carriers pocket and they can't persuaid you to purchase a new device to get that fancy upgrade.

yup cant really do much about it i suppose. and well i know a few ways you could brick the One but youd have to be intentionally trying to do so.
call BS on this and get your phone back from HTC.
what you should have done was go to T-mobile first, they have a one year software warranty, regardless of what you do to your phone (or so i was told). if you haven't paid the fee already i would highly recommend doing this now.

Apparently at this time without the RUU for tmobile, if you unroot and relock, the bootloader will show relocked. If there is a way to not show relocked on the bootloader, maybe you someone can share the info.
Will this happen to me if I'm sending my phone to T-Mobile? I'm complaining for the camera issue.
There is an official RUU for T-Mobile, it also removed the ability to revone. Ry how have a fix for that by dropping back to the .8 RUU. You remove the relocked message by having s-off, then using revone commands to change unlocked to locked. This is in the revone posts

Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
As soon as you unlock the bootloader to use REVONE you voided any warranty that isn't cosmetic damage to hardware pretty much, and you do say I understand this voids my warranty when getting that code to unlock through HTCDEV.... I'm confused as to your confusion OP.
I have the new AT&T version of the m8. In less than a week, I cracked the screen and called in my HTC advantage warranty to replace the phone. I have unlocked it and am using the venom rom. Is there any way to get it back to factory settings before sending it off to them.
Any and all help is appreciated
There are quite a few threads on this. Try a search and I'm sure you will find something.... Even your exact circumstances with cracked screen.

See theWarranty policy of HTC.
We don't have any RUUs yet so you'll have to find a way to Reflash stock rom + recovery, S - on and relock the bootloader.
