I lost my one x I bought from the att store, and I neglected to purchase insurance. So I bought a new one from amazon 2 days ago. It arrived today with 1.85 installed. Havnt even put my att SIM in yet, cuz i'm afraid of an autoupdate.
I'll try rooting/unlocking/ROMing when I get home. Hope my misfortune ended up being a blessing in disguise.

Lucky. I bought a REFURBISHED and "UNLOCKED" HTC One X from a seller on Amazon.
It came in a AT&T box, with AT&T bloatware, and 2.20.
I think I'll return it. It isn't even unlocked...
EDIT: The screen also flickers every 30 seconds.
Cool

Ummm, it wasn't meant as a gloat, but rather to let people know that amazon has 1.85's that are not warranty refurbs.
Thought it might be helpful information for others.

Every refurb I've seen since around last month have had 2.20 on it. Idk if HTC is updating when they are repairing them or if Att is manually updating them.

True, sorry about that.
Seemed like you were boasting. Figured Amazon who probably not be as apt to update the units they have sitting around. I got my replacement from a company that deals with AT&T. So I was expecting it to come with 2.20.
i picked up a 2nd one x today from costco it has 1.85.
Got my One X last thursday from Sams Club with 1.85
Add best buy mobile to the list because i got mine with 1.85 from my online order
I received a $49 refurb from AT&T wednesday with 1.85. Needless to say its rooted, unlocked and sporting Venom now.
Costco sent me one with 1.73 about a month ago

Neither BestBuy or local Walmart sell One S lol
but Tmobile does, unfortunately I can only get full discount if I call Tmobile directly....so I cant buy in stores for another 10 day.
Phone is great though.....I haven't noticed any pixelation on pentile display....compared side by side with my G2x and zoomed in text looked the same to me
edit: tmobile offered me $250 with $50 rebate or $210 without rebate....and 5-7 day free shipping. all returns or exchanges have to be done through tmobile.com. I pass, will wait 10 days and pick it up in some local store where I can at least return or exchange it.

I'm considering doing this later today after work... How did it go? I've never purchased a phone through WalMart so I'm curious to know how it works. Will they process upgrades?

They do upgrades as long as their full upgrades and it took probably a half hour or was pretty painless.only problem was we had to call T-Mobile to activate the new micro sim card because my sensation sim card did not fit

amazon is a big ole warehouse. They don't do anything but get products in and send products out. Any changes are coming probably straight from HTC when shipped.
I'm in the same boat. Got one from an att store after they got released from customs. Happy with the phone so far, but hopeful a root method is found for 1.85.
i will be getting mine in about 2-2.5 hours from now.... excited cant wait and im sure ill have 1.85 on it will update if found other wise
Got mines from the my local att store, first shipment they had since custom. And yup came loaded with 1.85.....pissed but I'll wait.

I got my gray One X from a local corporate AT&T store yesterday. Came with 1.85 preinstalled... Hopefully there'll be a root before my 30 day return expires, I like this phone but I NEED root and custom roms. Otherwise I'm returning it and going back to my Inspire with CM.

Same happened here, i returned my white one that was rooted and unlocked and all so i could get a grey since they just got in and i look at it and derp 1.85!!!
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
cant you just "upgrade" to the leaked RUU 1.88 then root and do what you want?
As far as I know the 1.88 won't install as it isn't meant for this phone.
I got a grey rooted & bootloader unlocked. If anyone is really serious about root, I can trade for a white one, I really don't care much about root n bootloader. pm me.

Have a replacement phone coming in, will AT&T charge me for my current damage? Pics
I have a replacement due here tomorrow and I dropped my phone today. Will AT&T charge me ($504 i think) because of this body damage?
Hope not
Nah, I think you'll be alright. The most expensive parts are the glass/digitizer. Insurance claims are 200 bucks, but they'll probably just chalk this up to normal wear and tear, replace the case, and be done with it.

they may just deny your warranty, because there are physical damage on the phone.

Not familiar with return policies with the American carriers. Thought it was useful info for you guys as the 2.20 firmware seems to be testing the loyalty of some users.
Well it doesn't surprise me really. I moved back to AT&T two months ago after a long long absence and was surprised that they had a 30 day period. I actually started with an Atrix HD, found out there was no root so pawned it off on the gf so I could grab a One X. Thought I could root it but didn't realize I would get stuck with the 2.2 update so I'm with everyone else waiting for root.
Trying like all he** to find a way to root it myself but don't have a whole lot of free time to devote to it so I do what I can when I can. Still happy with the phone and with moving back to AT&T thoiugh and I know root will come eventually.

I dropped the damn thing and broke. I've got insurance through my credit card but I refuse to go back to an unrooted phone.
Sooo, short of living with the crack, I believe I have 3 options,
1. Find a rootable replacement to buy
2. Repair the screen myself
3. Buy a SGS3
#1 would be the cheapest for me, the easiest, and would be my first choice.... I just need to find one. Unfortunately, the way the insurance works, I cant buy a used one.
Thanks,

Buy a new one from wherever and transplant the new phone's screen into your old phone if it happens to be one with the newer firmware... The One X is extremely easy to take apart.
