Companies like HTC allow you to do as you deem fit - you can unlock the bootloader, a painful 15-20 step procedure. The firmware has certain NAND memory settings that once unlocked, even if u relock it, it says RELOCKED and not LOCKED. So technology allows them to satisfy user requirements.

Lastly, its like a car - I bought a device, paid a fat bundle to use it. Now it is my darned wish to tune the ECU, swap out the suspension or chop the boot if I so deem fit.

This is not USA where the contract stipulations can be bypassed (some try to charge for tethering access etc), and hence rooting a contract phone is illegal. Hence illegal is not really valid in India.

But car companies also void warranty if ECU is remapped or even a wire is cut for audio system.

Point is about limiting liability what if you flash a custom kernel which has socket hooks to send your data to another server? If company does not deny warranty then technically and legally it needs to own up consequences of unknown software.

Lastly my contextual definition of illegal is - You'll lose warranty - illegal, not - you'll go to jail - illegal !! :eek:

I am thinking of gifting the HTC One X+ to my wife. However, I have read at many places that the phone has a peculiar problem of not detecting the SIM. Even on the HTC official page, multiple people have reported this issue. So i am concerned.

S3 is also a great option at the same price, but S3 lacks the build quality and One X+ has 64 GB storage by default at the same price as S3.

Anyone here heard or seen this?

@ Clevermax. I think I have guessed it. It is HTC One X Plus. Am I right?

That sounds like HTC ONE X+.

Finally, got the device. It is just HTC OneX guys, not OneX+. It was a good deal for me as I got it as a replacement phone for my faulty Galaxy Nexus, from the eBay seller. Just had to pay him 4K additional. It is a fresh box, manufactured in 2013 March itself.

The seller had given me 'seller warranty' for the Galaxy Nexus. When the phone became faulty, I had sent the phone to him for service.

Couple of weeks back, he called and told me that the service is not possible because there's no replacement motherboard. Sticking to his seller warranty commitment, they gave me an option to select a phone of my choice (from their listing of course) and they would ship that to me. Assuming full refund for Galaxy Nexus.

I selected HTC One X, and asked him how much should I give as additional amount, they said 4K and the deal was done. :)

The issue is, I'am unable to update any firmware as i'am getting a small yellow triangle whenever the device is restarted.

I want to unroot the device and upgrade it to 4.2.1 jellybean. Can somebody help me on this please?

So zero depreciation for the Nexus? I'm impressed, mind sharing the sellers link?

Yes, zero depreciation. Even I never expected that.

The seller is Sarf Trading, Chennai. The ebay seller name is shabbeerhf1.

And he sends me this in whatsapp after I set up my new phone:

This seller focuses on importing phones and thus provides seller warranty?
