Backstory: My friend gave me a One X that was his son's. His son tried to root it. Messed it up real bad, flashed EU versions of stuff and could only get into the bootloader. I fixed this for him about a month ago. His dad told me fix it, don't root it, he will just mess it up again. So i flashed stock RUU, this one I think, and gave it back. Sure enough he gives me the phone yesterday and his son tried to root it again. This time it is stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. I tired the the instructions at [WIP] Unbricking evita but no partitions ever showed. I got the Qualcomm. Inc. to show for about 2-3 seconds and spammed $ ls /dev/sd* then but nothing ever showed. Tried the tool at unlimited.io and the toolkit here and that didn't work either. They told me I can keep it if I can fix it. Well, I'd like to keep it since I'm using a MyTouch4G right now that is showing it's age. Any help?
I thinking it's toast now that it's on 2.20 and before I recovered it because it was on a much lower firmware.
Also, if it is bricked is there anyplace that can fix it for cheap? I don't really want to put money into this and if it's gonna cost me I'll prob just ebay it.
Happened to me a week ago. As of right now there is no way to save the device. Be patient as they are working on a fix for bricked 2.20 devices.
HTC will fix it for $130.
Hope I helped!

Damn, that's what I figured. I may just shelf this until a fix for 2.20 comes out.

They usually can get the job done...but send josh an email first explaining and ask him if its fixable
Called HTC on a whim, they said send it in and it's fully covered. I told them what the issue was and they said they'd take care of it and send it back to me, as long as there was no physical damage or water damage they'd fix it.
Seems too good to be true? I got a RMA # just in case.
It's worth the $5 to ship it to Texas. If your lucky that $5 will turn into a nice $250 phone in 1-2 weeks.

Kk, I'll box it up and ship it out. Figured the worst I would be out is $5, but wasn't sure about HTC's RMA process. The CS person was very very nice. Didn't really expect that.
Thanks guys!
They are good and fast over the phone, not sure about anything further than that but I wish you luck. Probably the best ROI you can get for $5 these days

Side note: I won't have to unlock this again will I? I think it was unlocked during his first try at rooting. I plan on using this on Tmobile to replace my myTouch 4g. Worse comes to worse go on Ebay and grab a unlock code for $5. Or maybe try ATT chat and get a code free, but I am not a customer so I don't think they'd give me a code.
If you do, the same unlock code should work. I don't think they would change the imei but not sure

Kk, I kept the old IMEI # so I'll check it when it comes and see if it's diff.
Keep us posted, according to my conversation with them they just repair and do not replace.

Bootloader unlock =| carrier unlock
In all likelihood, it was never carrier unlocked. You'll need to get an unlock code
AT&T might just give you the unlock code even though you are not a customer. Might be worth a call unless they want you to hold forever or jump through some silly hoops. Like you said the sim unlock codes online are all about $5 so not a huge investment to use it on t-mobile. If you need an older t-mobile sim card to cut down and use to get data working just PM me.

Every phone I have had to SIM unlock, AT&T asked if I was an acct holder.. Luckly I am, but still.. They might ask for an acct number.
It was a few months ago and I admit they don't seem extremely helpful especially when you tell them you are not a customer. Luckily my phone was s-off and sim unlocked so I never had to unlock it

I brought this mytouch off Craigslist by trading with my G2. The phone is starting some problems as with not turning the screen on when after a phone call and I got the bad screen on it.
Now I don't know if this phone is stolen or not or the person got it from the insurance by claiming Its lost.
Now do you think T-Mobile will exchnage it? I can't deal with the screen not turning on anymore so yeah.

I am sure this is the reason the owner sold it in first place, I bet the person gave you lame story about how he changed carrier or got it as gift or some BS and he already has something lol so he didn't need it.
This is why I warn folks about buying jack from eBay or Craigslist when first batch came out month ago that means alot of inferior device that shouldn't have passed QC got though. Your best bet is going via HTC device warranty as TMo itself will not honor yours as they have no proof of this device was valid transaction linked to your account. Also the remorse period is only though TMo not by 3rd party individuals.
Thanks for the reply Mr.HKM, He told me he had 2 of these and he wanted to get rid of it so I'm guessing he used the insurance company to get another by saying it was lost.
Is it worth a shot with T-Mobile? or Should I call up HTC tomrrow and see what they can do? The thing is, I don't want to be left phoneless though, that's the only thing that's going to be bad for me.
Would my best bet be selling it back on Craigslist and getting another one?
I bought my HD2 off craigslist and transfered my insurance to it by calling tmo and asking them if I could. It was originally the insurance I had on my touch pro 2. My nexus one was insured by that other company.
I never had to use it on the hd2 so I don't know how that would work. After I bought the MT4G I had the guy at the store transfer my insurance to it.
Its worth a shot calling tmo. From my experience they are wing willing to work with you.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Maybe prick got it buy one get one free though adding family members with contract. Best place to buy it now is though TMo as like you I also considered buying it via CL/eBay but after I saw the rate of bad display, ffc, creaky buttons I decide it to just shall out the full $450 and get it without contract. Didn't want the hassle as I lost my HD2 and was left with dumbphone lol trust me its no fun.
Well this is what you can do just skip it all as TMo will not help you so just contact HTC rep and request RMA for it. While you are sending it go to local TMo store and get "loner" phone while its taken care of. You can contact the seller but I am sure the prick will ignore you as kid will be like its your problem now.
Update: Do as MvP77 said then first with TMo it won't hurt long as you get it taken care of if not then you become the prick and get it of your hand ASAP by selling it to someone else lol
Ugh I looked at T-Mobile website about device warranty under T-Mobile and it looks like you cannot transfer warranties from another customer. Pretty much bumed out at this point.
Should I post of on Craigslist asap and get rid of it and buy another one and risk getting a **** screen and or just keep this?
I flashed iced galicer on it and the screen comes on after a call so I'm just worried about the screen for now.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I have known and helped people who bought through ebay or craigslist get a replacement through T-Mo. It's not a fool proof way but it has worked for some.
First thing is hopefully you are a T-Mo customer? Then don't use the online chat, call them on the phone. Just ask for Tech support. Here is what you are trying to accomplish, you need to get your IMEI # in their system to have a chance. So since this device came out with a OTA (Over the Air update) the same day it launched it is a plus for you. If your IMEI # is not in the system you will never get the update. So when you call and get to the rep just explain to him you are having some problems with very poor battery life and your video chat is not working properly, poor signal etc. Tell him you knew there was a OTA update but you have never received it, and you want to see if this will fix your problems first before deciding on a warranty replacement. If they ask you where you got it tell them you got it from a T-Mobile Store and you bought it full price. Whatever you do don't tell them craigslist. Stay firm on you buying it in a store no matter how many times they ask. Now the above might not even come up but be prepared in case. Noe tell the tech support rep could he please make sure that your IMEI number is correct in their system as you have never received the update. Your number might be in there and it might not. Likely it is not. I had one that was wrong for a whole month from when I changed from my G2. They will ask you for your number and give it to them. If they don't find it they will try to put it in. If the IMEI number is not in their database they will tell you also and ask where you bought it. Stick to the plan. Tell them you don't know why it's not in their system all you did is buy it in their store it should be in the system and you paid full price for it it better be in the system. now I have actually had this happen on one of my early replacements. And I really did get it from a store. They finally said they could manually enter it and override the system. Now if you get this done your almost there. Tell them thank you and you will be waiting for the update and hopefully it fixes the issues if not you will call back. Wait a day or two. The call back and when you here the automated attendant say cancel. This gets you to a higher level rep. Tell the about the problems and you are disappoint that you paid full price and now you have all these problems and the OTA update did not correct them. You are loosing data connection and they stay off for long periods of time. Tell them you have already been to a store and they changed your SIM card and that you have already talked to tech support and factory master reset with them twice and they said it is defective. You said you would give it another chance but it did not get any better. Now hopefully they will process you a exchange and send it to you and then you send yours back..
I hope this help and you get a good one. If all else fails go through HTC.

I've bought a few different phones off Craigslist and got them all exchanged through warranty. As long as its still under the manufacturers warranty they should exchange it. All they did was look up the imei to verify its still under warranty. This is my experience with T-Mob, so I don't see why you shouldn't be able to exchange it. Now, if its a stolen or lost phone, they might not. Let us know how it goes for you. Hope you get a good one.

Alright, I'm going to give it a shot today.
This took ne at a surprise, I went and logged on to my T-Mobile and it shows the white mytouch as my phone... so I'm guessing they already know I have a mytouch?

Lockeskidney not everyone sells there soul by signing 2year contract and having to pay more than its actually worth. Now lets say this as I never considered insurance. I usually buy the device without contract at full price from valid vendor now if I lose it how much is the deductible? I am sure everyone ATM here some how doing insurance fraud false claiming it as lost.
I just picked up a bell sensation and I can't find any company that has an unlock code for it. Anyone know how long it takes for the unlockers to get the codes from htc?
Try Cellunlocker. I got 2 Sensations unlocked from them for 19.99 each. Got the unlock codes within 4 hours. Mine were the T-Mobile version but they unlock the Bell version as well.
So far it seems no one has successfully unlocked the Bell versions. I spoke to a Bell rep today who said their HTC Sensation would not be issued unlock codes like their other models.
Is there any other way to unlock the device?
Can you confirm that the bell sensation has a protective lens for the camera. I went to the source and they have a dummy phone for bell sensation and it had a lens so that the camera is not recessed. Can you confirm this?
I went to cellunlocker and tried searching up my bell sensation IMEI that starts with a 35644 and it did say it had the unlock code for it. I also did the same with htcimeunlock but they did not have the code for my IMEI. I have no experience ordering from cellunlocker so i have no idea whether or not the site was telling the truth.
Sent from my MZ604 using XDA Premium App
Many sites are selling the NAM sensation as "unlocked" and some have already shipped to buyers like Nergi Electronics. I can't imagine that they would have sold theses unless they were unlocked. I am waiting for mine and I called the place I am getting it from and they told me it is 100% unlockled.
I tried both those sites and they couldn't unlock the phone. I was told it would take a couple of days to get the updated tables. I really hope they can unlock this phone I can't think of any htc phone that didn't have an unlock.
Eventually there will be an unlock, it may be a bit soon as the phone was just officially released today (Bell) and mitigating factors like Bell are probably getting in the way.

It seems Rogers has burned some bridges (particularly the one with HTC). Bell has great phones out. I'm actually amazed... I switched to them for a few months and their coverage in my town was out of this world.
I reluctantly switched back to Rogers for the amazing retention rate plan and features I had though. I hope they take a page out of what Bell's doing though. They've stepped up their game considerably.
Any update on this? Wanting to unlock my Bell Sensation to use on AT&T!
Has anyone tried Mobile in Canada? According to this page, it looks like they should be able to do it.
https://www.mobileincanada.com/1550-How-To-Unlock-code-en-HTC-Sensation-4G-Bell.html
You get an error saying they can't unlock it yet when you submit the IMEI...
im waiting for someone to confirm they have unlocked their bell sensation until i buy one. i hope its soon
Hey Everyone,
I sell alot of Unlock Codes on eBay and to other reseller websites online.
The current HTC Database is out of date and the next update is expected sometime next week.
Once the DB is updated all BELL HTC Sensations will have a code. For now there is no point trying different guys/websites, because in the end it is ONE database that everyone checks against.
Here is my HTC Sensation auction for unlock codes, but BELL IS NOT SUPPORTED RIGHT NOW.

Thank for your info Fr0Z3n
But the main question is still when will the servers be updated..
I tired of carrying around a phone that I cannot use. Not that I don't like my Atrix,
I just want a bigger screen.
By the way I tried mobileincanada.com and they don't have the code and they gave me a refund withing 2 hours without me having to ask for it.
I ** highly ** recommend them as another option when the servers are updated.
I also tried gsmconnexxion and have not got a refund yet, it's been 2 days and i'm still waiting.
Well lets get back to the main question again
*** On what day do the servers get updated??? ***
you tried gsmconnexxion? That is me and i don't have any refunds pending.
I am guessing you are just here advertising for mobileincanada? Anyways if you REALLY do have a refund pending send me a msg.
oh well and the htc servers get updated next week!

Thanks for the update fr0z3n. It gives me hope that Bell won't be locking down the device forever.
@fr0z3n: Thanks for the info, please keep us updated as to when the server gets updated.
I noticed that in your eBay link that you are selling the codes for $25.99US each while mobileincanada.com is $20CDN even. Are you willing to beat the mobileincanada.com price? Please note that I do realize that selling on eBay carries extra costs for the listings/final price fees, but what if we were to purchase from you outside of eBay? Is a group deal possible if a bunch of us get together and make a commitment to purchase a code from you when they are available?
Yes if it is a group deal then I can do $19.00 CAD (NOT USD) or $20 USD.
The margins for HTC codes are very low, but for a group deal I can certainly provide that.
???
You'll need an unlock code, which you'll need to purchase. There are a bunch of reliable sites, I got mine from www.cellunlocker.net
there is no way we can do it for free ???
No one here has posted a mod or script to do it for free, and the question has come up many times. But I'm sure it's possible and maybe no one's really tried hard enough.
It's my understanding that if you live in the US and have AT&T you can get a free unlock code from them, but a lot of users have reported that they give you a hard time before they give it to you.
I'm just mentioning this because maybe it's the reason that there hasn't been a high demand here for a sim unlock mod.
Please lost back here if you do find a free way.

I just got off the chat with AT&T They said they can not unlock my phone because I am in contract. I told them I bought it out right, then they wanted proof of purchase. I yelled at them a little then they said I would have to call samsung to get the code. The reason for that is a updated policy.

I just got off the line with AT&T and they told me that codes are not available at all for the Skyrocket. Some line about Samsung being under agreement with AT&T and they haven't released the codes to AT&T yet. I smell the distinct aroma of bovine fecal matter on that one...
I think I will be calling them back soon and yelling at them a little bit.... It's amazing how often that seems to work when you're calling customer support and they're being belligerent....
EDIT: Well, got back on the line with them, and now they want my receipt. I bought the phone a year ago. If I have the receipt, there is no telling where it would be. A whole lot of run around.
I spent a week trying to unlock my skyrocket for free, gave up walked into a flea market, walked out 15 minutes later and $25 lighter.
Yes, you can unlock it for free through AT&T. I was able to do it. It is a pain, but it will work. You need to use the online help, ask for a supervisor, and ask for a "OKCQSubsidyUnlock" case to be opened.

I use Straight Talk now and I absolutely LOVE it. You can get an ATT sim card from them and you don't need to unlock. I have tried several pre-paid networks and they have been by far the best.
I agree, I've had straight talk for over a year using my Nokia SIM and this is my third android phone using the work around. No problems what so ever. Just plop in my e-71 SIM and put in the new apn and I'm good to go. I've never had to unlock any phone.

Interesting... swapped my second SGS3 out for a One X yesterday, and it was already on 2.20 (as were both demo units, for whatever it's worth). Wonder if I might be able to swap it out for a 1.85 model. It's that or hope and pray we can find a loophole in 2.20. Friggin' HTC and AT&T, ugh.
since its coming from asurion that makes more sense. Is it worth the deductible to get it replaced to a rootable phone? i bet it is to many..
Dammit, wheres my phone? Somebody took it..... Damn i'm mad. Replacement time? J/k I'm rooted already. If i was stuck on 2.20 without root i'd have a replacement here tomorrow.
hopeful!

I don't know about "swapping" exactly, but I had two refurbished phones in the span of two days, and both of them were 1.85. I live in California, if that helps you spot a trend? I was wary too of getting a 2.20, but somehow it kind of worked.
Maybe if you go to a repair center, you could ask them for a specific firmware device?
I'd kill to have a repair center nearby. I always have to call customer service for warranty issues.
I just purchased a BNIB HOX on Craigslist. It was originally purchased 8/22 and it's running 1.85.

Been considering trying to trade mine with someone on Craigslist for an older one that's running 1.85. On the fence, since if I do that I'm now SOL if something goes wrong with the phone. At least with this one I can return it or swap it for a new one if I find a defect. I'm assuming even if I buy one NIB, AT&T knows the serial number of the phone or something so I wouldn't be covered, would I?
The phone has a 1 yr warranty regardless.
Just got a insurance replacement.. its running 1.85.. just rooted and unlocked the bootloader.. now since the wife went back to her iphone she gave me her x but its running the update.. might sell it..

At least with this one I can return it or swap it for a new one if I find a defect. I'm assuming even if I buy one NIB, AT&T knows the serial number of the phone or something so I wouldn't be covered, would I?

I don't believe Asurion goes by serial. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

They go by whatever is currently tagged to the account.
got mine from a AT&T service center and it's on 2.20.. took me a bit to have it exchange so doubtful they would do it again. HTC last week offered a repair (battery issue..) they did not offer an exchange + who the heck goes without a device for 7 - 10 business days
Asurion has all the device info for what you have insured i believe. But if you trade or buy or whatever, once you call at&t to have them change devices on that line the information also gets updated with asurion and the insurance continues on the same. Id say im about 96% on this so please correct me if im wrong
i'm using a Mac so I will have to wait until later in the week to root my phone. I have my upgrade but didn't want to use it as I think i will go with unsubsidized phones from here on out...
Just got a HOX today (returned my Moto Atrix HD) and checked that it has 1.85.
Ordered my HOX via AT&T call center on 8/24 and received on 8/31. Box was already opened and SIM card already installed. Fortunately, firmware was 1.85 so all they did was install the SIM. Already rooted, unlocked, and on my 3rd custom ROM. Props to Scotts ROMs.
Lucky people Just got mine today and 2.20...fml

Lucky. I already went through two S3s before getting my One X, so I'm not sure what else I can throw at AT&T at this point to justify them giving me another One X. And even then, I feel like my luck is such that I'll just get another 2.20 out of it.
Confirming their are still 1.85 hoxl out in the wild as of yesterday.
Completely shattered my screen in an accident yesterday (worse case i've ever seen on a phone and i've replaced many a shattered screen) costco agreed to replace it but I was worried the new one would come with 2.20 and was considering just buying a new lcd/digitizer for 130 online so I could keep root. Well I risked it and got the phone replaced and it came with 1.85. They guy at the kiosk tried to update it for me but I luckily warned him not to just before doing so.
It seems a lot of stores/kiosk like updating the phones before sending their owners home with them. Make sure you specifically insist they do not. I don't know how willing to listen employees at at&t stores will be but I do know most kiosks/3rd party stores/costco/etc won't give a **** though and kindly skip updating you to rootlessville
I ordered a white one off costcos wireless store and it came with 1.73
rooted and unlocked it right away so their is still hope for people within the 30 days still
Hi
I'm in the US for my Masters degree, and wanted to get a L920 or 8X from AT&T, no contract. I'll be returning home(India) for Christmas, will they let me unlock it for international travel? I heard many L900 users were refused unlock codes.

A few years back I was on AT&T and had a Motorola RAZR V3xx and I got them to unlock it by telling them I am in the military and will be traveling overseas and needed the MSL so I could use overseas SIM cards. They insisted that I didn't need it but I insisted that guys in my unit were having problems with overseas SIMs and I didn't want the same issue...You could probably do this too

That's promising, thanks. Did they get you to relock it to their network when you returned?
I tried Googling this and all I got was iPhone unlock procedures, so I was kinda scared that the other phones would have to be kept for a longer time before unlock. Because in this case I'll need to unlock it in about a month after getting it.

Good luck talking me into "relocking" my phone to your network I never relocked it and ended up selling it a year later for a few extra bucks...unlocked phones sell for a little better used.
Oh and for the record I never actually went overseas...I wanted my phone unlocked so I went online and asked in modmymoto and someone who I probably should remember but don't, suggested that I tell them that story...So not my idea, but it did work

If they won't unlock it, then just buy an unlock code online.

Just google this, thanks. It seems there are many, many sites just for this. A bit expensive but helpful if att dont agree.
Really???

Is it better to pay $39 bucks or Lie and be ashamed of yourself. Come on now. If your really traveling, this method always works, but lying just to get an unlock code, how unpatriotic. Is this how you mom taught you?

Phone companies and ridiculous data plans pretty much robbing you? Now come on... surely that is a crime! How unpatriotic!
P.S. way to revive a 2 month old thread just to be a wise guy
