Some site is selling random phone and stuff and one of them is this phone. They said it's a HTC. Very specific right? I've owned a few HTC's myself but I can't guess which this one is. Can you guys?

Im wondering if there keeping a log of all users that are registered on the HTC dev. Due to the token and watermark. Because if they are they could tell sprint or asurion that you were rooted tho sprint would know due to the S relocked. Sprint really doesn't care tho most of the techs are on board with root.
Hopefully there is another method to root soon.
I know the C IQ thing was trackin stuff in the past and sprint shut it down wouldn't be something new if HTC snuck something in with the rooting since you have to set a account up on there site to root and the token and watermark and so on.
Anyone confirm yet that if you do drop your phone or it has hardware issues if your TEP still is good?
So what do you folks think?

HTC has setup their bootloader unlock method in a manner where they are able to track the device by serial number.
AlphaRevX, also required serial number for hboot 1.3/1.4 unlock.
Whether or not HTC actually uses the information, transfers the information to Sprint or Assurion, etc., I haven't seen any solid posts or indications one way or another.
HTC has set themselves up in a position where they do have sufficient knowledge to verify whether or not a device was or wasnt unlocked through their method, simply by serial number.
Hope that helps!

I got my digitizer replaced the other day, and the techs at Sprint seem to care less if you're rooted or not. I doubt HTC would transfer the information to Sprint or bull**** Assurion. I know plenty of places around me that don't even check to see if you're rooted or not.
I actually asked a Sprint tech in the mall near me if unlocking my bootloader would void my warranty with Sprint. He told me that TEP still covers your phone but my warranty with HTC may be void.
Hope that helps!

Thanks man been tryin to find more info on there root method.
Hi everyone!
A few days ago, as I had mentioned here, I had found faulty pixels in my screen.
I imediately contacted HTC Greece, in order to sent them my phone. I also informed them about the hiss noise issue, for which I had already sent them my DX a few months ago. Of course it wasn't fixed...
I asked them to either fix both of the problems, or replace my device.
The problem is that I just got my DX back.
According to the official HTC service in Greece, who found "no fault" in my device, "the device operates in accordance with the manufacturer's standards".
This means that NONE of problems is fixed. The screen still has lots of faulty pixels and the sound is still terrible.
This is totally ridiculous.
I have no intention to send them back my phone for a third (!!) time, because they don't know how to do their job.
I want to contact HTC's headquarter's but I don't know how.
In their site, I whenever I;m looking for a mail or trying to open a ticket, I'm asked for my country, which means that my issue will be forwarded to HTC Greece.
Any help??

Today and after recontacting HTC Greece, I was told that since my screen has hundred of faulty pixels, then my device's warranty is void!!!!
I really don't know why I am treated that way.
@ORA 1
Any more specific link?
Again, I'm asked to choose my country, which means (I guess) that my mail will be forwarded to HTC Greece, which is pointless. All I want is to make sure that HTC's headquarters will get to know my case.
Are there any official HTC forums?

Panos, hi.
This is how things with HTC normally work.
HTC will refer your complaint to HTC representative in Greece.
They will undertake the repair there.
Have you asked your service provider for info. Are you on a contract or pay as you go.
If it is a new phone a two year warranty is given by HTC.
If it is damaged, and not the fault of HTC, they will repair but charge for it.
Hi ORA and thanks for your reply!
To be honest, I'm not expecting to gain anything from contacting HTC's headquarters. All I want is to transfer them my experience from their Greek representative.
My device is not damaged. I change my smartphones every two or three years, so I treat them with respect and try to take care of them.

So I'm going to be getting a new phone here soon... I've narrowed it down to an S4, or HTC One. I've taken a lot of things into consideration and HTC One seems like an amazing device, it pretty much just has not sold itself to me because of the non-replaceable battery.
I understand most people probably change phones every year and the battery should make that no problem, but I'm not one of those people. This will be my first smart phone I'll be purchasing and I'm sorta going by what will last longer with proper care.
Basically, I'm looking for information on the phone's warranty in the event of battery issues. How long is the standard warranty usually if any? Also how does HTC take care of their customer's and handle the warranty? I plan to purchase the phone from T-Mobile in full. My reasoning is because of T-Mobile's version's available frequencies. In-case in the future I decided to use it unlocked on the AT&T network. Also what are some experiences of users here with repairing their HTC One?
Thanks
Warranty is 1 year on every phone I have ever used including the One. If you get the phone from T-Mobile they will honor the warranty and swap out your phone. I have had it since the release day and no battery issues yet other than it doesn't last long enough lol. Far as I know you cant take really apart the One without risking damaging it or without some special tool HTC has.
Hi,
I just got an HTC ONE T-Mobile and I unlocked it. But now I would like to delete all the T-Mobile settings and Apps. So I thought about flash the HTC ONE with a Stock Rom from HTC or Google. But I'm a little bit lost. I'm new on Android. I was 5 years with Apple products and now i'm tired and I fell in love with that phone. So I trade my IPhone 5 64go for the HTC ONE 32go Also the guy didn't pay his bill for T-Mobile so that's why I unlocked it to put my new carrier. I don't know how to fix that problem if a day I want to go back to T-Mobile (but supossedly he still paying for it).
Thanks for your time.
Eventually that phone is going to be black listed from all U.S. carriers. He's not going to continue paying for a phone he doesn't have anymore, and there is nothing you can do to the phone that will hide the fact that it's associated with that non-payment. You made a mistake. Never buy a used phone, especially knowing it it's not paid off.
As said above ^ . Once black listed by one company it will begun to get black listed by the others.
Cellphone cairries have really crack down on stolen/ non paid phones.
But as far as the Rom goes, your need to root it and then flash a HTC Google Rom.
I checked the IMEI and it's not blacklisted. I'll see with the time. Can I flash my HTC with a stock rom without all the T-Mobile stuff and the boot logo T-Mobile like a Htc stock rom with OTA or a Google version OTA?

Yes. You might need to change CID/MID to get OTAs though.
Anyone know a way to "erase" the At&t logo from the back of the phone without damage. I hate advertising for companies without compesation.
Guess not. Oh well, I'll have to find a way myself.
Use a case
