AT&T Warranty replacements: 1.85 or 2.20? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Anyone that got a replacement recently from AT&T care to share if they are sending phones with 2.20 or 1.85? I was given this as an option to replace my phone with but if it's being sent with 2.20 I'm very reluctant to go for a phone that can't be rooted.

There are rhymes and reasons as to why there is a rooting snafu after 2.20, I would say hold on for a few days

Dropped mine in a swimming pool Saturday just gone. I did a claim with Assurion on Sunday and received brand new in box HOX on Tuesday. Shipped within 1.85. Today is rooted and unlocked bootloader and all is good in the world.

PROFIT !!!!!:laugh:

I had a defective screen and had to return/exchange for a new one on 8/22 and it has 2.2 on it. I am pissed and eagerly waiting for a solution to root. I am guessing they are selling off the 1.85 firmware first, so if you are going to take a gamble, the sooner the better.

Oh yeah, my refurb came with 1.85.

My Galaxy S2's USB port died on me and I got the One X as a replacement and it came with 1.85. I got it on Tuesday this week if that helps.
A bunch of us from the i777 forums ended up getting replacement One X's each have been 1.85 units.

Just a touch off topic, but since this thread is about warranty I thought I would post here.
I bought my One X about 2 weeks ago so it is still under warranty. Would just going into the ATT store and saying it's over heating qualify for an exchange? Seems like there is a chance that I can end up with a 1.85. I'm not really sure how the warranty/exchange program works though.
Also, first post! I've been lurking for about a week and will try my best to avoid the more common noob questions.

I did my warranty exchange by calling AT&T. Not sure how it would go by stopping at a store. If you are still within your initial 30 days you should be able to get a replacement in store just fine.

I'm going to stop over after work. I don't quite know enough yet to go through and root, but I want to learn and want the option to do so. I'll update later with how it goes at ATT and if I get something other than a 2.20
*Edit: Went into ATT and had a nice easy change to a nice brand new ...2.20 HOX. Guess it will give me plenty of time to learn about Android before I mess something up.

My screen was defective and just got a replacement phone (it was still under warranty) today. Software number:
2.20.502.7 ............****.
Question......I need to send my defective phone back to at&t for the warranty. Am I screwed because it is rooted/unlocked bootloader with cleanrom currently installed? The problem with the screen is that it seems to be stuck on sleep.....I can BARELY see it if I shine a very bright flashlight on it. I hope I don't have to pay the $500 or whatever it is (if I should be asking this question somewhere else, let me know)
Thanks

i just got a replacement from at&t and its 2.20 firmware. i too was unlocked rooted and had a custom rom, but my phone was completely dead. no charging and no turning on. flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager for htc one x (gsm). it saying gsm i thought it was for our but its not. wrote the recovery partition over m y bootloader partition. and to answer the question below, yes you just might have to pay for it seeing that they can still power on+volume up and get to your bootloader seeing it as unlocked and tampered. in such cases you should ruu back to stock rom if possible before sending it in.

something to check for since you get a refurb when you get a warranty replacement, see if it says locked or relocked and check if the CID is 111111 fastboot get var cid.

Sensation 4G Bricked?

Hello, I have an issue where I need to send my HTC Sensation in for repair. However, I had to re initiate S-ON, upon doing so. When I went to reboot, I get a blank screen with nothing showing. I can not even get into HBOOT. I know that if I send this to HTC for repair they are going to see I had S-OFF on this phone, and clockwork recovery. So they are going to charge me for the repair.
Anyone out there have any ideas on how to avoid this at all?
Just to let you know I just seen there was another thread on this and went to T-Mobile and they are sending me out a replacement free of charge except the $5 handling fee. Which is nominal at this point, they even let me use a loaner phone. This might be another avenue that people might be able to persue rather than wait the 6-10 business days for HTC to get done with their phone.

Yup,they are a lot easier to deal with than HTC.I bricked mine on Christmas eve trying to flash an ICS firmware,contacted T-mo and got my replacement 2 days ago.
Got my new one a day later. Thank God that I had insurance on my phone so they replaced it. I told them that an OTA update must have corrupted the Android OS data.

Did you flash the stock ROM before you put S-ON?
No I did not, that is the mistake that was made. Going to wit for the official launch of ICS before rooting my phone again so I don't have the same issue again.

Poor HTC... It wasn't their fault...
Bricked
Same boat. ROM worked great... Now I'm bricked. Got my replacement today. Gonna wait a few days before sending bricked one to T Mo... Can they tell if I have S Off? Or do I hope for the best... Also in their terms and conditions they "conveniently" sent me it says " tampering or modifying your device is a violation that directly harms T-Mobile which cannot be fully redressed by money damages,and that T-Mobile shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies available." Should I be scared to send it back to them...? Lol
They don't mind. I had dust under screen and sent it back. I sent them it with miui lol. It came back still s offd but with the latest ota

at&t GAVE me a skyrocket...

Alright so before you get to caught up in the title, let me explain myself. I have been doing some research on which phones that at&t and sammy would upgrade to ICS, the infuse was not one of them. The Galaxy S II Skyrocket however was one. I promptly looked up the cities that have at&t LTE, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my city there. I remembered back to when I owned the awful Motorola Backflip. I hated it so much I used the warranty department at at&t to switch the Backflip out three times before being sent an HTC Aria the fourth time. I decided to try this with the infuse and this time the phone they were willing to supply me with was the Galaxy S II Skyrocket. I thought that sharing this may help some of you who want a phone that will definitely receive ICS. If your Infuse is still under warranty, call up at&t give them crap till they send you an infuse (repeat 3 times) and enjoy your skyrocket the 4th time!

I only had to do this one time. I bought a captivate for $1 back in aug 2011. I got bored with it. In Oct I decided to call att and tell them i had all kinds of problems with the captivate and that i did not want another one and asked them what they could do for me besides me cancel my service. She offered me an Atrix or a infuse. I got the infuse and didn't pay anything for it. I just sent my captivate back in once i received my infuse. You don't have to do multiple warranty exchanges, you have to be a good talker.

The warranty department figures it's easier to deal with lying by just giving in sometimes.
Pretty slick lol
So I called them and told them I was having touchscreen issues which is True I have been. They sent me over to At&t warranty to verify my issue, told them I've done a master reset, I've done recovery and everything, They then stated I was in warranty for a replacement so here comes another infuse. lol
Edit: You DO NOT need the account holders last SSC numbers to get a replacement. Tell them you have a question and they'll say sure I can help you with that, tell them your problem and they'll have to deal with helping you. I advice before you do this, you put stock firmware back on your phone, factory reset it before sending it back as well, Don't bother if your phone has physical damage or water damage as there Warranty exchange seems to be very serious and they will charge you $399 which is the total cost of the phone.

They must have changed the whole SSC number deal then, because the last time I filed a warranty claim, mind you this was 4 years ago, they were very persistent about getting that number before they would help me with anything.
*Edit* Is it a refurbished? or new?

OK, sounds good.
I'm seriously considering trying to get a different phone. I love the infuse, but the support base for roms seems to be dropping off quickly.

Once we get an official expect to see better roms, Only a couple weeks till we see it.
Edit: I've been thru this process many times with T-Mobile and getting another phone, Refurbished phones are nothing compared to what you got now thats been used for months, Refurbished phones are phones used 30 days or less from purchase and when there brought back they cannot be sold as "New" anymore. Every refurbished phone I've ever gotten was in the upmost perfect condition.

Bestbuy and one x version at 1.85?

My return period end date is coming up and I have decided its worth returning my one x due to the 3 bad pixels on my screen.
Just curious if anyone recently has bought a one x from bestbuy and if it came with 1.73 or 1.85. All the bestbuys around me just got more stock in last week so I would think its possible that they are still on 1.73.
Anyone luck out?
Thanks
it is 1.85 I just got mine yesterday there.
Canada or US? FYI Rogers, Bestbuy, Telephone Booth, Wirelesswave all have the HOX with version 1.73. Just thought I'd let you the Canadian folks know.
are they ever going to release an update for Rogers HTC One X???
Easy answer ... No Rogers will take usually about 4 months after initial release before any update that's IN GENERAL. So maybe if were lucky September we should see an update.
They aren't the fastest on firmware updates. I'm rooted, bootloader unlocked and I've flashed one of the rom's on here. So I'm not holding my breath on Rogers releasing any updates. Also FYI their bloat software ruined the experience of the One X.

Warning to those with T-Mobile Warranty

Last week on Tuesday I decided to get a warranty replacement, now... I'm well aware that these are refurbished phones and that they can be damaged, etc. T-Mobile, however, assures you that they are to appear "Like-new". Well, the device came the next day as promised and what do I see? 10-12 dead pixels and... spotting behind the screen... like WATER DAMAGE! At this point I'm thinking... "Wtf T-Mobile?" So I give 'em a call, they tell me they'll send out another and that they are sorry for the inconvenience... Well, this time Friday rolls around and the delivery comes... I grab the box and get ready to open it with my Partner, jokingly I say to him... "Let's see how messed up this one is!" and I open the box... Well, the second one they sent has a LARGE chunk out of the MAO in the bottom left corner of the device... like it had been dropped. I'm pissed at this point... I call T-Mobile and because it's a defect in the "hardware" I had to take it down to the store to get a rep to verify that the device was damaged (also still in the warranty box they send out) and at this point they take $25 off my bill and offer me yet another warranty replacement!!! UGH!! So, the new one is coming today... If it's messed up I am demanding that they send me a new one. I'm so upset at this point... My device I sent to them to begin with was damn near flawless other than (from what I could tell) software issues.
What do y'all think? I'm starting to believe they don't even perform these so-called "Quality checks"
Been there done that I had to go through 6 phones. they offered me a brand new Galaxy S 2 . But it's backordered so I decided not to do it

If I even get one more messed up one I'm gonna make them give me a new One S... I bought this phone, I'm sticking with this phone. They WILL give me a new one. Heh. Also, I came from the GSII... Don't do it... the DPI is weird and everything is HUGE on the screen. Lol. I didn't like it mainly because with the default TouchWiz roms you can't change DPI or the UI is all diff sizes and messed up... Now... On custom CM10 roms, etc you can change DPI and it looks amazing at like 200 DPI or so... but back then the bugs were too much to stay on custom roms.
Went through these with my wifes amaze. I demanded a brand
New one s and got it.

what are you going to do if they tell you to go pound sand?
I don't understand why you are warning people about their warranty...they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. I understand the frustration of having to keep getting a replacement, but at least they are cooperative and doing it. ..sounds like a good warranty to me.

they sent me 4 defective replacement sensation 4g's until i demanded a comperable android replacement... after a couple of other rep's and explaining to them why a nokia lumina is not a comperable device then asking for a supervisor they sent me my One S free of charge, I offered to send my sensation back but they didnt send a box to return it in.... Thats a Win in my book. I did have to call back twice to get them to take the charge for the One S off my bill, which they did
Yea, I've never had an issue with T-Mobile warranty...that's how I got my One S...I had a Sensation, then complained enough, and they upgraded me to the One S at no charge. It might be a pain to go through numerous phones before getting a good one, but you can't beat the fact that they overnight you a phone with just a simple phone call, great service.

Agreed. Doesn't make any sense. You would figure that since he's on XDA, that he'd try to flash a new ROM, reflash the original, etc, to get it back to normal.
Then again, some people are hardcore about not wanting to touch their phone's ROM. I on the other hand, am absolutely disgusted by HTC Sense and all the fancy pants bull**** it has. Simplicity, minimalism, and speed are where it's at.

It stopped saving screenshots (not a big deal) however, it shortly after started saving all photos taken with the camera as 0byte files. NOTHING fixed it. I even put the phone back to S-On and unlocked, re-rooted, redid the S-Off... Nothing helped. Kinda useless if I can't take pictures. I also tried many different roms.
Also, the warning was to say that if you need a replacement... make sure you can deal with going through 4-5 before you get one that is fully intact. The last one they sent me (#3) had the screen popping up out of the device. You could see the button backlights fron the side if you looked at it, got yet another coming tomorrow.

Asurion Replacements?

Has anyone had to get a replacement recently? I haven't seen a post or discussion on this recently and Google only brings up the 2012 shortage. Just wondering if they are sending S3's or switching devices on folks. If they are sending S3's, are they coming with the 4.3 locked bootloader and Knox. If so does anyone want to buy a refurb S3?
I can count on one hand how few times I've dropped my S3 since I got preordered it. I dropped it in the grass in my yard, face down with the extended battery, and the screen shattered. UGH!

I've seen a few people who said they got a replacement. Only 1 said it came with 4.1.2 and the rest came with 4.3. I'd guess you'd probably end up with a locked bootloader.
Maybe you can call asurion and ask them to ship you one with 4.1.2.

After upgrading to 4.3 and its horrible battery life, I went and complained to my local Verizon store, and they put in a request for a free (yes, no deductible) replacement and it came with the MB1 firmware!! Instantly rooted and froze SDM
And this was within the last 3 weeks
Dang... Sounds like my only hope is that the local store doesn't suck. Either that or that someone eventually figures a way around the bootloader. I know there's the bootstrap method but I've had pretty miserable luck with bootstraps soft bricking.
Guess I'll look into the HTC One, their latest update to lock it down hasn't been pushing very long. Any mention of the S5 having Knox?

It turns out that if you have a white 32GB GS3, they are out of stock. Your picks are a 32GB pebble blue GS3 or a 32GB white GS4. I guess it really doesn't matter since the bootloader would have been locked down anyways. I wasn't ever impressed with the GS4 but maybe I'll be able to sell it easier than an S3. I'm done with commercial Samsung devices, especially with this Knox crap. I'll be sticking to Nexus or GPE devices.
I got a replacement and mine was 4.1.2, I was really happy it didn't have 4.3

S3 or S4 and how long ago? Maybe I screwed up going with the S4.
