Warranty

[Renniks]

Hi All

I am in need of a bit of advice. I have seen a HTC One X on EBay, and it states originally on T Mobile but now unlocked via a HTC unlock code......

Now would the unlock void the warranty? It states that it comes with the 12 month manufacturers warranty, would/how would I be able to register the warranty? As obviously the proof of purchase would be in the sellers name......

Any help on this I would appreciate guys

Thanks as always

Lee

Using the HTC unlock code permanently voices the warranty as per HTC.

As per the HTC site.

Unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty (sorta, they should still repair obvious H/W defects), but removing a SIM lock doesn't (I think).

Does the seller make a distinction?

Will try and and have a look Mate

From the HTC dev site re unlocking boot loaders;
-----------------------------

It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty. Please note that unlocking your bootloader does not mean that you will be able to unlock the SIM lock. Unlocking your SIM lock is at the discretion of your operator/carrier and is not part of the bootloader unlocking scope.

Our devices have been designed with our hardware and software specifications in mind and unlocking the bootloader will change the software and may cause unexpected side effects. It is impossible for HTC to ensure the proper functioning of your device after this. In the worst case scenario, it is possible that your device may be physically damaged due to overheating or the behavior of your device might be altered including, but not limited to, hearing aid compatibility (HAC) and specific absorption rate (SAR) values.

Some content on your device may also be invalidated and cannot be accessed any more because of invalid DRM security keys. This includes content that you may have purchased through a 3rd party vendor and through HTC. Furthermore, although you will still be able to receive updates to your device via FOTA (
