Well, most bad esn's are that way for a reason and a very good reason. I have heard of clearing the esn before but I think it has to actually be done through the carrier. I'm not 100% sure on that but if I remember correctly that was the only way. If you came across this phone by "accident" you might go in to a store with it and see what they say. I've returned phones before and got discounts and credits.

Shhhhh....not supposed to ask that.
That has to be done by someone at Sprint
As some else said why is it bad, is it stolen? If it is I would return it to Sprint so the rightful owner can have their phone.

If you used insurance they may not have reported to sprint. It may not be bad.
In other country carriers work with the bad esn?

It will be illegal because you told sprint you no longer had it, as in fraud. Smh.... I by no means am perfect, but that's not how I would have dealt with it.

you paid for 1 phone,and sprint gave you three.send the other ones back.where are your values
now i know your first reaction will be to post some smarta$$ reply to belittle me,but if you can hold onto that urge for a minute and think how you would want to be treated

It is people like you who cause wireless companies to raise prices for customers. Like everyone else has already said: Where are your morals? Sure you pay for insurance so you feel entitled to use it, but your scamming only costs everyone else in the long run. Damn how I wish there were ways that things like this could be reported to Sprint. O well karma got the best of you in the end, because that "lost" phone is worthless in the end. Have a nice day and don't bother coming back to XDA posting about your cowardly actions because no one cares to hear about how you think you outsmarted Sprint.
#1: ur english is HORRIBLE. please use peroids (.) to end ur sentences...
#2:dont use caps, it means ur yelling...
#3: yes, u can flash it to boost. How? im not exactly sure. a quick google search came up with people offering the service but no how to guide.
EDIT...after reading his previous thread, seems as if this phone is STOLEN

What a looser .
Hello, today my baby just got stolen by a bunch of ********! somehow after an hour in gym at school, i look and my phone isn't there. I called it and it sounded like a jerk *****. Anyway, i tried to install Plan B but looks like he shutdown the phone or that my stupid gps isnt locking like it always does because of ICS! is there any chance i can track it? I'm a prepaid consumer so insurance is impossible.
You should call the cops and tell them its an iPhone 5 prototype and I'm sure they would get a swat team involved like they did last time.
If Gps isn't working it looks like you might be out of luck bro.

Invest in the app on play market called gotya I swear it works they try and open your phone and put pin a wrong key bam takes a silent pic of them send it to Facebook and sends you a location GPS spot in your email that you can give the police then you get your phone back

OMG LOL!!! the guy who stole it told me ill never get my phone back. now after i went home and tried to install stuff, the school called me and they told me they found it in the floor. Looks like the guy didn't like Face Unlock! in his face!
What if they know the buttons to hard reset the phone? I mean its not really that hard but the only thing you can do now is call tmo and let them know what's up. Get a police report and file an insurance claim through ASSurion. Assuming you have insurance.

98% of people who own a smartphone are complete buffoons and really don't deserve to have them. The only reason the average Joe gets an expensive piece of hardware is to have bragging rights. Most iPhone users don't know what a jailbreak is nor do android users know what a root is.

Hey guys,
I am having an issue with my phone. I had CM10-M2 running on my phone and I didnt like it that much because I missed some of the stock features so I decided I would flash the foxhound 1.3 rom that just came out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708371 that one.
I followed the instructions and did everything that was recommended.
The phone turned off and now won't even go into recovery or anything. Just a black screen.
Please help!
ps the phone is on Rogers and is an i747ma
Thanks,
Zach
Edit: I dont know what this means but when I take the battery out and plug it in the red light comes on but still nothing else

I can't get anything to come up on the screen at all.
If I cant get the screen to turn on at all should I be getting a USB jig or getting JTAG service?

Is there literally nothing I can do if the screen isnt turning on?
Odin isnt recognizing the phone but when I plug it into my computers it stills chimes that something has been plugged in. Also when I connect it to a power source without the battery in, the LED turns red.
Any tips?
Thanks so much,

Welp ****. I took it to Rogers but since I bought it off of kijiji they couldnt do anything. It was bought on October 2nd and they said I couldnt even send it for repair because it wasnt registered to me.
I called Samsung and they said to ship it for a repair but even if they can't repair it, they couldnt replace it. The lady said she would have to tell Rogers to replace it but Rogers already said they wouldnt.
What do?

hey i screwed up the same way you did before flashed a international rom of wanam lite. all you have to do is send it to samsung repair they fix it for 70 dollars!! mine had a big scratch at it i was OOW and had to pay 100 extra but assuming you have no scratches or anything they should do it for free for you!! try again just blame samsungs software update screwed ur phone up and for sure they should take it and fix it for free

Did you actually get it from the Rogers store? Because when you do they can issue replacements but when you buy it from somebody else they said that they couldn't do it.
Update: Got JTAG servicing in Toronto (at mtechservice). Took 10 minutes, no soldering, and everything is back to normal. No more stupid mistakes and a lot more reading. Thanks for the help guys.

haa d2att bro all u need to remember
Seems like you should research more before flashing roms. If you find out how to fix your phone be more careful next time. If you aren't sure always ask in the Q&A section. A comment from a user can save your phone.
Hey Question did you even try a JIG ? that is the only thing that will get you into DL mode when soft bricked

Depends on the insurance. Need more info. Also a diff between rooting and being caught rooting. If it is working enough for them to tell you rooted on a claim it is working enough to reverse before you send it in. Some insurance don't care either way.

If you shatter your phone and they replace it I don't think they will have a problem replacing it if its rooted.
Besides, if your really paranoid just tell them you dropped it in a lake, (It happened to me once).
um I have asurion as insurance i dont know if by more info this is what you meant.

Warranty yes, insurance no. Rooting voids your warranty, not your insurance. Insurance covers physical damage, so if you hard brick your phone, just to be safe you "accidentally" dropped it in the bathtub.

I think you'd win in small claims if Samsung denied you warranty because you rooted your device, assuming there is a product defect.
To be honest there's also a choice DONT ROOT. It seems like it's all new to you, and believe me Samsung phones are way easier to brick than LG or HTC if you don't read carefully. Look if it's worth the risk playing a android game with a ps3 controller or loosing your phone for a period of time. If you go ahead and do it make sure you BACK UP YOUR EMEI, many times that gets overlooked when it's really the most important thing in your phone.

Just read, read, read. Then read some more. Make sure you fully understand every possible thing that can go wrong (I.e. Losing imei) and how to fix it. If you know what can happen, and how it happens, you will know how to avoid those things. Never have the "I will cross that bridge when I get there" attitude. Almost everything that can go wrong is 100% preventable/curable if you know about it ahead of time. If you don't feel like you can explain to someone else how to root or fix their phone, you're not ready yet.

No problem haven't rooted mine and I rooted every other phone I have. I just feel android is android it all looks the same. Not much difference between roms apart from the speed with build props and bloatware free. While you can always prepared yourself 100 percent there's always that random encounter that you can get with electronics that is not your fault and just happens.
