Recently I unlocked my bootloader on my AT&T htc one x
Did this void my warranty on my phone, because it seems to be having hardware issues, and I don't know if this voided my warranty.
Technically, yes. It voids your warranty.
Are you still within your 30 days?
I had a flickering pixel on my first HOX. So I backed everything up, relocked my bootloader, flashed the 1.85 RUU, factory reset to everything stock, made sure that there were no ROM or "hacking" files on the SD card (can't be too careful ), and brought it to the AT&T store.
They replaced my HOX without any problem!
I never mentioned to them that I unlocked and relocked my bootloader, and they never asked me either. As long as you focus on the hardware issue, you're good.
If you're part your 30 days, though, can't tell you what happens then. I don't know how thoroughly they look at a device with hardware issues, or how picky they are when you send them your device for warranty replacement. Wouldn't hurt to try though, IMO, if it's something that bothers you.
What's wrong with the hardware?

I am not getting any att signal at all no bars anywhere, I don't know if it's sim card or the phone itself.
By any chance can you send me link of how to relock bootloader.

Did you try flashing different radios?
Anyway, this how to relock your bootloader:

No, I didn't what does flashing different radios do.
Thanks btw for all the help
Here is the link to a collection of radios for the HOX:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694012
You may or may not have a hardware issue. Did you flash any ROMs after you unlocked your bootloader?
I would try to rule it out by either flashing one of the radios from the above collection (I would start with the ATT 1.85 radio), or by going back to stock completely if that doesn't help. If you're still having issues, then I would take the phone to the store in its "stock" and "relocked" condition.

Was there a point when your signal worked? If yes, then do you recall doing anything to your phone right before it stopped working?

I would think you'd need to contact AT&T for that, as xda does not handle AT&T's warranty exchanges.

Re lock the bootlader and run a factor ruu. That way it will look completely stock unless they reboot to the bootloader. I've yet to see them do that on any of my warranty exchanges, doesnt mean they wont. Guess it depends on your reason for returning it.
I exchanged mine at radioshack(that is where I bought it) and told them I did an update on the computer and it froze and wouldn't boot lol. Basically play dumb and hope for the best because I think when you re-lock it will still say 'TAMPERED' in the bootloader. Not sure on that though. Im sure AT&T Store is not much different, with in 30 days I got a free new phone lol.
If you have extra coverage then I don't know.

I don't work for HTC so I can't tell you. Are you paying for service? Or using your warranty? If you're trying to use warranty, it was voided the second the BL was unlocked. You may luck out and they might not check or see it. What's the worst that could happen? They send it back and say they can't service it?
If you bought it from AT&T, return it to AT&T. There have been a bunch of reports by folks on here that have had warranty honored by AT&T even though the bootloader is RELOCKED. And haven't seen any reports of AT&T doing otherwise.

It will always only say RELOCKED. Only way for it to say LOCKED is if the bootloader was never unlocked. Some think the flag can be changed to LOCKED if we get S-Off. RUU will only remove the TAMPERED tag. It will not make it back to LOCKED.
With s-off we can make it say biscuits if we want

Unless it's bricked, most carriers will still honor the warranty on an unlocked phone.

There isn't really any active work toward s-off for the One S. I think the hope is that anything the Att One-X guys come up with will work on or phone also. So there is still hope.
Also, you can unlock your phone without going through HTCdev. Therefore not losing your warrenty but you would need files from someones phone who is unlocked. The link below explains it but DO NOT try it with the files in the link as it won't work. You need the files from a One S.

Well, I think that an exploit for the one X cannot be used for the one S because of different chip used on the devices... We have a Qualcomm one while the one X has tegra. I would check the link that you have pass me but I think that it will be hard to find someone who would pass me the right files...

The AT&T (and some other NA carriers) One X (AKA One XL) has the MSM8960 which is also a S4 Krait+Adreno 225 combo, just with an LTE modem.

TAMPERED isn't such a great issue. It goes away by just flashing a RUU.
The real issue is the RELOCKED message you get when relocking the bootloader. To prevent this RELOCKED message, and to have it displaying LOCKED isntead (this way the bootloader won't appear to have been ever unlocked), you have to achieve S-OFF. That's what they're working on, if I'm not mistaken.

It would still show tampered. The only reason you would want to do it this way is so your phone wouldn't show up in HTC's database of phones they unlocked. When you unlock through HTC Dev you agree that unlock the phone may void parts of your warranty.
And as the other poster above stated even if you locked the boot-loader again it would say Relocked instead of Locked. So there isn't really much a reason to do it this way.
Well I hope that a way to unlock the phone without leaving traces will eventually cames out. I do not want to use htcdev because I have to keep this phone for 30 months as I have taken it with an operator contract, so if something happen and I have unlocked it then I would have no warranty.

It always puzzles me why do people on custom ROMs want to get OTAs?
AT&T JB isn't rolling out yet. When it does, it will get posted in Development in a TWRP-flashable rooted form.
I also doubt the OTA will feature much (if anything) that is not already present in the JB Sense ROMs already up in Development, plus all of AT&T's bloatware crap and other meddling. Possibly including a new hboot that will mess up even more stuff this time.
The microphone is broken on my phone and I got to send it in for repair. I was wondering whether there is anything more that I have to do besides a RUU to return the phone back to a completely stock state before I send it in? Im s-off running viper xl with a custom boot splash and radio and super cid.

Hey bro. Are u sending it to htc for repair? Or verizon? I would assume htc, since it is a "repair". If so, then u really dont need to return it to stock. They dont care unless its something software related, but since its hardware, u should b good. After u run the ruu, u should b stock anyways, no?

You would think incorrectly. HTC reserves to right, and has, voided warranties for flashing custom ROMs.
Its been discussed on the "international" One X forum, that some folks have had warranty claims denied due to having ever flashed a custom ROM, despite returning to stock. Apparently, they still have some way to tell, even if you RUU to stock. Although they will honor the warranty if the bootloader is unlocked, but a custom ROM never installed. Inconsistent and a bit strange.
But HTC warranty service probably varies a bit by region. So its at least worth a try.

Ya bro, ive had all positive experiances with HTC. Im on my third replacement DNA from them. All free replacements. One cracked screen, one bricked, wouldnt take a charge, or boot, and this 3rd, which im waiting on right now as a matter of fact. fed ex should b here any moment. It had a blue blotch, or "smudge, within the screen. But all of them i had absolutely no problems getting them warranted out.
If they get a phone which is s-off, for all they know, they sent out a dev phone on accident. Ive seen it numerous times.

Flashing a custom rom can cause some hardware issues, so I can understand why HTC wouldn't warrant it.
If I was returning to HTC, I would change the CID back and RUU but leave bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, this way, if they decide to update the software to the latest, you can still flash and whatnot.

If you're S-OFF you don't need to relock to run an RUU and since S-OFF doesn't actually give full access on the oneXL without an unlocked bootloader, best to just leave them both.
