Looking at ebay, i found this: http://cgi.ebay.de/XDA-bzw-MDA-VPA-...131668105QQcategoryZ70766QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It's german but i think anybody understand what it means. He sells a program for unlocking BA/Magician/Him./Wall. etc.
I think he sells the xdadev_all_unlock and i think there are many more auctions like this one on ebay.
(BTW: Who was the programmer of that great tool? Machinagod, vijay, buzz?)
Well that is normal.
We have seen the WM5 Roms on Ebay, the unlock tool just to mention a few. There is not much one can do about it. In one thread we emailed the biders to tell them were to get it for free.
Its sad and on the other side fun. Here we are with all the search engines and people still need ebay to buy stuff that is free.
Thanks for the post.

Greetings,
Could anyone help me please.
I need the following for an XDA
Stylus
Headset
Carkit.
Thanks
ireland
hi..u can order a stylus in any o2 shop, and by headset do u mean bluetooth, or wired?...their both available in o2 shops. readily available from installers, just ask for details in a shop like carphone warehouse. where are ur originals gone?.....i sincerely hope u dont possess a stolen item!
What would make you think it is stolen just because it lacks certain accessories, many items are sold on ebay and through adverts without the other bits.
Need to source headset for XDA, due to the fact that I damaged my last one while trying to adjust the clip. It ripped the wires apart. I have tried the O2 shops and they only stock items fro the XDAII. They are no longer holding stock for XDA. Also they only have stylus for XDAII, I am presently using an XDAII stylus and lose at least three a month. and at 20 Euro a packet, would like to cut my losses down.........
And to confirm I do not possess a stolen phone, thank you.
Silverki, I dont know if you wish to take this route but ebay have lots of cheap stuff for xda, just log on at www.ebay.co.uk and search xda.
my apologies
hey..no offence meant....its just that i despise ppl who deal in such, particulary an xda, which are usually much loved and coveted by their owners!....and, its good to see some more irish ppl here, welcome, and if i can be of any assistance, just ask..
Thank you for your help. I was last looking at www.my-xda.com and they use to have a link for accessories, but alas I cannot find the link on the web site and more.
I have not traded on e-bay yet but maybe now is the time to try..
Thanks again for your replies....

By the way, my family is from Waterford city.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
hehe... definitely not me...
buzz
:!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
isnt it illegal to do that?
We should send a message to every bidder letting them know they can get it for free.
i contacted the people and i informed eBay.
That shmuck!!!
the XDA crew does so much and this guy belittles it!!!!!
DOS him
I cant see the guy making much money on this really .... Microsoft are very renowned to shut down sites who allow downloads etc of M$ stuff , so i bet he'll be done too.
Im actually suprised that this forum still remains with all the hype on 2005.
i really hope it doesnt though, this forum is great.
...coz we are Bill's beta testers....
good one bzzz
(its the truth)
maybe someone can buy it and upload it here :twisted: 8)
duh... that guy is even showing my boot screen there!!! and selling also other xdadev stuff...
i wish i had eBay login to write something there...
odd how many pictures of smartphone 2005 he shows as well :lol:
I don't think it's possible to send e-mail to ebay users, but someone should inform the highest bidder that it's for free over here! That 'll sabotage this **** trying to make money from someone else's work.
Maybe through the "member feedback" system?
Correction: it is possible to contact ebay members. Should I tell the highest bidder to come looking here first?
@buzz_lightyear
you should put a signature on your creatations from now on.......... or i will sell your SwitchIT program on eBay .... loool just kidding man
i already contected the members and ebay
DOS him!!
I just emailed the current high bidder too. This jerk should be allowed to get away with it. I told the guy the address to the thread that has all the info this guy is selling, CURRENTLY AT US$77!!!
well even though that charging others for somebody else's work and charging people for something they can get for free
is very very poor taste
then if we yell to loud there will be a storm of people wanting to download from this site
and asking questions in the forum if that version of 2005 could be installed on their old ipaq 3750 or something like that
so in the intrest of this forums bandwidth and ms not releasing a heard of lawyers on everybody
it's good in some ways that some people get their rom from other sources then this site
It's not the first time, someone is selling some XDA-Developers tool at ebay.
But normally the prices weren't as high as in this case....
I would say, a person who isn't able to search the internet and get those things for free, isn't clever enough to use the xda-developers tools... ;-)
Maybe we should ask ebay, if they could make an extra moneypart to spent to the xda-developers..... ;-)

What gets me is that this guy is a member of this forum, reading this thread and shamlessly playing with his big balls.
I have just made a contact through my company where i will be able to get accessories for the xda2s and other HTC devices at a good price.
Im that fed up of searching for things for the xda2s and only getting a couple results off ebay so i decided to do something about it.
i haven't got prices but i should be able to get some deals on:
GPS car kits
Car kits
Batteries
Cases
or anything else which you might want
the only thing is that i will have to buy some of these items in bulk so i just want to get a feel for what peeps want.
PM if you want a specific item i can get a price for you
please don't delete this post because im technically selling. Thinking about it im not selling anything I haven't got anything to sell at the moment maybe think of it as a service for those hard to find accessories.
your comments welcome
Rob
I don't even know if what I want exists yet. But you can see what I want in the following thread:

If you have anything like that (or can get it) let me know...
Hey why don't we have one???
I recently found someone on this site that got a Jam from me. I would rather give the great XDA-Developers.com members a chance before trying to sell it on eBay.
I totally agree!
Me too. I've had a lot of help from this site, and have recommended it to friends who also have found it very useful. I posted this a couple of days ago:
"I know that this is not a selling forum, but I've had a lot of help over quite a long time from this site so would like to help out fellow members if I can. If this is not acceptable to the moderators I'm sorry, but here goes:
I've got an XDA2 that has been dropped. The screen is fine, but it's permanently locked into "Calendar" mode and cycles through all the calendar views and options. In all other ways it is in very good condition. It receives and makes calls, and all the functions are available, but I can't always turn it off. It's boxed and complete with cradle, charger, earphones, case, software, manuals, etc., and I'm sure that someone with a bit more time than me could make use of it. It's not stolen, or from any other dubious source - I've upgraded and just don't have the time at the moment - I wish I did, but that's the way it goes".
I think that the whole XDA-developers community could benefit if, for instance, the seller donated, let's say, 10% of the agreed selling price to the site. I think that's fair and gives XDA-developer members the chance to benefit rather than the auction sites. I looked at eBay in order to sell the item I've mentioned above, and I'm new to Ebay, but it looks over-complicated for what I want to do with an item that I know is faulty.
There may be other issues that might make things difficult, but if people are honest in their descriptions I don't see a big problem. Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware - if you're not happy about something, don't do it.
I think there's room for discussion on this matter.
Being a pda freak, I'm always looking for a better device. Having just sold my JAM, I am inclined to switch to the HTC Universal-based model. However, being unlucky to be based in Kazakhstan (the notorius "Stan"!), I have found it very difficult to talk to the online stores such as eXpansys or MobilePlanet. They simply do not make deliveries to this region.
However, I found this website, www.qtekuk.com which, after I wrote to them, responded that they would be able to deliver to Kazakhstan.
My quesiton is, has anyone dealt/heard of these guys? I need a second opinion before I make a money transfer.
Replies at soonest are much appreciated as I need to make up my mind (there is one guy in town waiting to sell me the item but his price is not as attractive).
Thanks and regards
Try some other sellers too.
Hi I noticed you didn't get answer yet to your question. I can't tell much about that,but my advice would be ,that if you're planning to buy a gadget like that,you could also spend a few extra dollars and actualy call them to make an idea about the company. Also,read throughout the forum and you'll find a lot of sellers especialy in uk from whitch people bought already.
Good luck.
qtekuk.com = SDD
"qtekuk.com" are none other than SmartDevicesDirect. I don't know if they have become the official distributor in the UK, or if the domain and site are just designed to look that way. (qtek.co.uk still redirects to agbglobal, Qtek's parent company).
Search the forum if you want other people's experiences of them (good and bad). Personally I prefer not to put my trust in companies that use mulitple identities, or that charge credit cards up front for stock they haven't got. Plus I hate web sites that play cheesy music as soon as you land on their home page. YM, of course, MV.
Hey striker_69, sorry I missed your post before. I would say don't bother with this firm. £610 is outrageously expensive. You could buy one from someone trustworthy on eBay for around £150-200 LESS than that. Since you are in Kazakhstan you would need to pay via bank transfer probably (a lot of PayPal fraud occurs in Eastern Europe and also in India, Thailand, nigeria, etc as I am sure you are aware).
Hmm, can't really comment, but after seeing that guy on the intro to their site, well, 'I wouldn't buy a used car from him!'
Hope it works out for you
Gareth
