I have a TMobile Vario II which has been fine now for over 17 Months, it is unlocked and flashed. recently the phone has been coming on with a white screen which normally would go after either switching it off or after a hard reset.
This is now not the case, and no matter what i do the phone starts up and may display briefly a screen and then just goes white.
I have reflashed the phone with different wm6 roms and all seem to work fine on the flashing part but all come up with a white screen.
Now my question is after ringing t-mobile they say the phone is covered under a 24 month warranty. Now is there away that i can get this back to a factory default before i send it back ? or wont this matter ? the phone is in a pretty bad way as the casing is dented. Will they just send out a refurbished one or will they actually repair this one ?
Any help is appreciated.
My friend had this same problem with O2, he send it and ge tback new without a problem. And this same just happend to me, I will go to T-mobile on monday.
I vad previously send back unlocked Vario and they send me new one. Just flash orginal T-mobile system and you shouldn't have any problems.

I've got a QTEK9100 (T-mobile MDA Vario) for a couple of weeks now.
I have used Lokiwiz to remove the sim lock and the ROM lock. So formally the guarantee is gone. I've added QTEK ROM and alle seemed to be working fine.
A week ago Bluetooth complety stopped working (hard resets, new software etc all didn't help). I've now placed the latest t-mobile ROM on my Vario (so back to the t-mobile software again).
I want to put the SIM and ROM lock back and give it to T-mobile for a repair (is this possible to put the locks back?).
Is there a way for them to see that the locks have had been removed (and so the guarantee is no longer valid) or should this be possible to claim a guarantee repair?
I am convinced that the bluetooth problem is hardware related. But i guess i have to deliver a valid t-mobile mda in order for them to accept and repair it.
Any suggestions or experiences in this area?
Ive been using the virtous fusion rom, overclocked the rom to about 1.2 the highest. Cat, dropped the phone last night. worked afterwards. this morning the phone screen wouldnt turn on. charged the phone to max, took out the batt a million times. nothing. seen the actual screen maybe twice from doing the above things. dont know what to do. currently in DR.
Same problem as this one?

Yes exactly same problem, without the whole part of that user sending his phone back to htc, and wanting to brick his phone. I want to get it fixed. thought maybe i did something wrong by overclocking it. I dont know and I paid too much for this phone to just throw it away. Im in dr, without a tmobile plan, and calling htc or tmobile is out of the question because I live in DR, and brought this phone off craigslist. Avid xda-dev reader. willing to do everything to fix my phone back to how it was!
lol just realized you where the one who had the problem. what did you end up doing?
Warranty the bugger or send it to a phone repair store.
IM IN SCHOOL IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, just gave the phone to a dominican phone repair shop, told me to come back in the morning, dont expect them to fix it tho
WOW, i have the same problem. Please some1 help!!
First off being in DR or anywhere else, reguardless of where you purchased it, its still technically under htc warrently. The reason is the phone has not been out for over a year, so all they are all still under warrently. Just call htc and say you bought it cash at tmobile store when it came out in usa, and have since moved to DR. They will have you send it to be replaced.
Before you send it in, follow my post here to unroot:

If you don't want to do that and fix it yourself your going to need a new LCD screen, not digitizer.
Goodluck, let me know how it goes.
Hello I bought an M9 in a local online store. When I received it today it was already opened! When I checked it is already in Marshmallow with 3.41.651.4. A quick google search says this software is from Sprint? But I bought I bought an international unlocked model.
So I checked the bootloader and it was locked, but already S-OFF! I then went to recovery and to my surprise TWRP booted. Also going to recovery I get this black splash screen with HTC logo on it. Is this normal? All the videos I watch entering the recovery they get white splash screen with green HTC logo.
Also the reboot menu is different. I have attached some images.
I also can not get 4G signal with it! will this work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-...vices-t3135401 I think since Sprint ROM was initially loaded maybe I am having different baseband/modem? When I set it up it asked me to contact Sprint customer service?
Anyway I have successfully unlocked the bootloader, with this is fake?
Thanks!
That doesn't sound like a new phone to me. Probably used.
Unlikely to be fake based on the bootloader screen. You almost certainly got a refurb being passed off as new.
I agree, used.
Htc black logo isn't normal if not being flashed or reset.
Return it as previously opened or second hand device. open a dispute as a last resort but don't leave it more than 24hrs for the sellers reply as you need to claim before they do.

Hi guys just a question is they a way of been able to tell if it's new or refurb like a code with the info etc as I think I've been given a refurb instead of new from the repairs centre
No way to tell other than physical damage or "unexpected software discrepancies".

Needed a phone to fill the app-gap coming from Windows(don't judge) until contract expires, and bought a H791 5X on ebay last October. (more on that). Works very well for about 8 month, then it started bootlooping. Searched XDA and found thread by xcnathan32, managed to revive it. Yesterday it was updating apps(not OTA security patch), dropped dark, and won't turn on at all. Held power+vol down until fingers turned blue, and maybe 1 in 20 chance it will light up, warns that bootloader is unlocked, then stop responding and drop dark again. Twice I got it to get to recovery screen, but it froze on one occasion, and on the other occasion shows a weird orange line towards bottom of screen, and I wasn't able to flash anything before it froze again.
As I'm fairly certain this is a hardware issue, I tried chatting LG support. Gave them IMEI, and they say this is a international phone, so LG USA won't support it. chatted with Google, really nice service, but when I gave them IMEI they couldn't bring up any warranty option since they don't have my IMEI in inventory...suggested calling LG support. Just called them, and they checked IMEI and said the same thing from chat(they even greeted me by name without me saying a word), but they did tell me my IMEI belongs in JAMAICA. YeahMan. Or...NoMan?
So I'm running out of options - what should I try next? give up? Go the Chinese route for repair?(and 4GB upgrade?) new ones are on ebay for ~230 so repair in US doesn't make much $ sense...
TL;DR: got international 5x, bootlooped, no repair from LG/Google, what do?
Hi all,
A couple of weeks back I had to have my z2 repaired since it suddenly lost service. Since I bought it abroad there's no local official support and I had to trust in unofficial service. They supposedly changed the antenna board or something like that (they were very non-specific on the description of the fix). The phone was working correctly afterwards.
However I started to notice that, when not on wifi, the phone looses signal periodically, not only internet but phone and sms as well.
I'm planning on sending it back for repair though I don't look forward to doing it so. It just occurred to me that maybe they put the replacement part from a different model (mine is xt1710-09) and that my current stock image has problems with this spare part, baseband configuration or something. Is this really possible? I've already wiped completely but it remains the same.
I'm thinking on flashing a different stock version for another model (retail us, or retail br). But don't know if that's a good idea though.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks!
