WARNING!
Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page.
You only are responsible for your device. We won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components.
CHECK DEVICE MODEL NO.
To make sure your device is eligible with this, you must first confirm its model no. in ‘About device’ option under Settings. Another way to confirm model no. is by looking for it on the packaging box of your device. It must be S720e!
This procedure here will work only for S720e model no. of HTC One X. This is not for AT&T HTC One X. And do not use the procedures discussed here on any device of HTC or any other company. You have been warned!
