Boot loop - Insurance & HTC wont fix

Hi, I have looked everywhere to try and get this problem fixed, but haven't found anything to help.

I have a HTC One X which is absolutely stock. I got it on contract last September and have never rooted it/played with it/etc (I wouldn't know what I was doing!). My problem is that it is on a boot loop and I cannot get it to to get beyond the first HTC splash screen. If I hold down the volume down button to get to the boot menu then it runs for around 1.5-2 seconds then reboots again. The details below show where it gets to.

I contacted my insurance company and sent it in and they have told me that the phone has been water damaged and they will not fix it. I am covered for water damage, but as I didn't declare in my insurance form that this was the cause for the failure they will not accept responsibility! The thing is that while I accept that I have used my phone in the rain on a number of times (I'm a keen walker despite the weather), I have never immersed it in water. I can only assume that the indicators have come up because I've used the phone while out walking in the rain. Despite what I say they will not fix the phone and HTC don't want to know because of the indicators, just referring me to my insurer as the water indicators are red. I am obviously hacked off, but surely if the screen isn't a problem and it's booting this far then surely I can get the phone to work?

The display is as follows:

*** LOCKED ***
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.39.0000
CPLD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-5.1204.162.29

When I try to charge the phone it just enters a boot loop, lasts about 4/5 seconds then reboots, so I can't see how to get it to do anything else.

Can anybody help me get the phone back up and running so I don't use it as a frisbee?! I am still under contract until September 2014 and would hate to think that I've got to pay for a phone I can't even use!
 
Thanks, I've posted over at XDA hoping to get advice from there.

I work from home and was by myself on the day this happened. I was sending a text at the time and it froze, so I tried to force a reboot and it's been trying to reboot ever since.

I put the phone in a sealed box full of rice in the boiler cupboard for a couple of days too, but it made no difference. It did get wet around a month ago when I was out walking in the severe rain and sending a text, so I guess this activated the stickers inside the case.
 
@people who are running venom sense ROM

Can you properly change the theme to a stock android look, not just the notification bar, but the notification tray, settings panel and I mean a true stock android theme, not slightly modded?

TIA :)
 
My appeal is being considered by the insurance company at the moment, so I'll let you know what happens benwoodcock when they get back to me over the next couple of days.
 
One of my One X has developed a yellow mark down the side of the screen, sounds a bit like some of the early problems. Will they need to send it off to check if its faulty if its a common problem that can be seen without any investigation required? If so will they do a replacement or will i have to be without a phone for a while?

Depending on when you got it, who you got it from and what their procedure is (for example under 28 days you may get a straight swap in store). Chances are it will go for repair to HTC and you'll be without a phone. If it's a handset from Carphone Warehouse you may get a basic phone to tide you over (calls and texts).

Going directly to HTC, it may get repaired but in the meantime you'll have to find a phone to use with your SIM.
 
Mine has started to not bring the home screen up when I press the power button to unlock it.

It turns on and works ok when I can unlock it but most of the time the screen doesn't come up to unlock it.

Sometimes the screen will look like a Spectrum loading screen. Started happening a few days ago and seems to be getting worse.

Anyone had this before? I'm guessing I'll need to get it send away for repair?
 
Am I the only one who finds that wireless can be very "hit & miss"?
I've had my One X since release day and I'm now running the latest Android.
All has been relatively OK. Some more battery life would be nice, but generally OK.
However the wireless sometimes just fails to find access points. I'm currently sat in office that has a "building wide" multi-point wireless setup.
The guy in front of me with his 2 year old Sony phone can connect to it. The guy to my left with an old HTC Windows phone (which has had Android shoe-horned onto it) can access it.
Yet me, with my One X get "Not In range" when I try and attach to this network - one I have been able to in the past.

At home my wife will always connect to my wireless with her Google Nexus, whereas I can get "No wireless found" when I try.

As I speak I've just rebooted the phone and now I can see the work Wi-Fi and I can actually connect to it (eventually). But now I've got no internet. Play Store won't open. Yet everyone around me is having no issues at all.

Usually a reboot of the phone seems to fix it. But to say it's annoying is a bit of an understatement and as above, the reboot doesn't always fix things.
Known HTC issue, software or hardware?

wifi probs especially weak signal or generally hardware, which was common on earlier handsets, maybe yours was ok at first. You can try gripping the sides in a certain way (youtube or google should tell you how) and if the signal increases you know its a hardware problem, it is fixable however if thats what it is
