Anybody have any ways to make my Evo faulty???? I'm trying to have it replaced and need a good way to have it replaced under the manufacture warranty. I know this sounds wrong but I am in a timeframe where I would be able to replace it with the S2, seeing that Sprint has the release set to late July early August. If this is "bad" question to ask I will drop the post if I start getting negative response..
Their only going to replace it with an EVO, you'll still have to buy the sg2. So sell the EVO and use that money to buy sg2
brought to you by the little voices in my head
If your within the 30 days, all you have to do is pay the $35 exchange fee, otherwise you have to buy one outright.

Same reason modding your car voids your dealer warranty, but is still legal. They don't want to fix your fk ups, but you can fix them yourself.
Dude just brick it. And I mean fully brick it where it won't turn on, charge, recognize usb or anything. This way the techs have no way of knowing It's rooted and the phone looks like its just faulty. I'm not telling you how to brick it though, you have to search the forums for that. Happy hunting

depending on your current hardware version, the 11 month old one may be "better" I have 002 w/novatech and wouldn't want any other. Go on ebay replace battery door/cam lense cover etc. to get that new feel back - imo

As to hacking your phone...I can hack my phone all I want as I own the hardware and a license for the software. The only thing that is illegal is changing the ESN on your phone.

A warranty is not law. A warranty is an agreement between two parties (you and Sprint or HTC) that says if there is a manufacturing defect in the phone, they will fix it or replace it within a specified timeframe, provided you follow some conditions set out in the warranty.
Just like cars...did you know if you put an aftermarket part on your vehicle and the vehicle malfunctions, the manufacturer can void your warranty since it isn't one of their parts, regardless if it caused the malfunction? That doesn't make it illegal to do it, it just means if your vehicle breaks, you're on your own.
Same with the phone.
I think we've covered the legalities of hacking your phone. As long as you aren't doing anything to obtain a service free that otherwise would be paid for you can do whatever you want. *cough* wireless tether *cough* (which is legal to have but not use lol)
As far as trashing it..... throw it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Call in and say it was fried when you woke up.
I have a phone I acquired from my work, no its not stolen its been sitting in my office months, my question can I root it and port a number to it if it has been locked, our if out hasn't been would there be any issues I may run into
how exactly is that not stealing if its been sitting in your office for months? and what are you talking about Sprint?
Galaxy Nexus isn't on Sprint yet.
I work at a bar we have phones from a year ago they are lost and not reclaimed, hence not stolen eventually we just toss them unless you have some pertinent feedback how bout not wasting my time

Here's some pertinent feedback for you: regardless of your standard practice or how long the property has been there, once you take it, it is stolen, you have committed a crime, and depending on your state laws and the value of the phone, that crime could be a felony.
There are legal requirements for handling abandoned property. Just doing what you want with it is not one them. You may find that all you have to do is run an ad in a local paper and that if no one answers, you can claim the property.
GR
lol relax detectives...no need to accuse of felonies. but just go to the carrier who sells the phone and ask your questions. say you found it and would like to use it as just something to mess with if your not activating it. and if they have to take it. so be it.

That sounds reasonable. If nothing else they should be able to tell you the proper procedure for being able to claim the property as yours, if there is one.
Well i went back to stock (at least tried to) for the preperation of ICS and the maintenance update. That was a disaster. I have had over 25 android phones but i guess i thought it would be a good idea to check re-partition in ODIN cause i thought it would be an *extra good* flash. Ya now i have a FULL brick. Before i tried to reboot download mode, it said PARTTABLE missing or something like that. And yes it was a full brick there was nothing i could do.
Whats even BETTER is that TMOBILE told me to shove it! "Oh this phone is not part of our replacement program." WTF. So they directed me to call Samsung which i did and it is now on it's way there. Since when does a phone i bought on the account less than six months ago not qualify for an exchange. Bastards. Well hopefully Samsung fixes it in a timely fashion and sends it back!
My wife recently broke her screen on her GS2 and they replaced it...
Geeze man, that's a major screw up. It's posted everywhere not to check repartition. and tmo has been replacing these phones for people.

So Tmobile has con another person. I think that you should tell Tmobile to shove it again and again after the lie they told you. The are the practical joking wireless company, don't be fooled by one representation of Tmobile, you have to keep escalating the situation until you find the hard to get truth with Tmobile.

For future reference you cannot and should not ever check re-partition with out a valid PIT file. It will always result in a brick otherwise.

I agree with you. It was a very very dumb move. But i was pretty sure there is a pit file in the same folder as i have odin and i put it in the correct box.

samsung had my device back to me in 5 days. i mailed it on a Monday and got it back on a Friday. brand new device not a refurb.
dude I have done two replacements on this phone You should never ever ever call tmo on the phone to get anything done period. Go to a corporate tmo store not one of those dealers a full tmo store and deal with them face to face. Those idiots over the phone are stupid and they dont care, but when you are face to face they will respect you more and try harder. And they dont just call the same number we call when you go to a corporate store they actuall get to the right people. Hell I dont even call them to change my plan I go to the store. You know how many times I just wanted to make a small change in my plan and they gave me a problem or they did the wrong thing and then I went to the store and they fixed it without a problem. I know it might be a pain in thew ass I work 70+ hours a week and I dont have a car but I still find a way Thats my two cents
If you gave tmo warranty call again they should replaxe it.

I am currently on my 4th S2 since NYE when I purchased the phone, never have I had issues getting a replacement. The only issues ive had have been trying to go around the.$20 fee since I dont have thr insurance but even that can be waived easily
My first replacement had issues so I quickly returned till I had a decent one then that one stopped charging after like 6 months.

That's funny, we've had the reverse experience.
The T-Mobile store people have frequently lied to us. When we signed up during their Valentine's Day deal they lied about the plan requirements, they lied about transferring our old phone numbers to T-Mobile that day, they told us we could downgrade from unlimited talk and 5GB data in two weeks, then two weeks later they said we couldn't.
In the end we just called T-Mobile CS the next day who transferred our numbers and changed our phone plans with no fuss at all. Now we never bother dealing with the T-Mobile store in person, my girlfriend gets pissed off just thinking about them.

Ok so I flashed a ROM for an International Galaxy S3 and I have a Sprint Galaxy S3.
The ROMs I found all being on the same forum really messed with my head...
But it will not do anything. The screen is black. If i plug it in nothing happens. If i press buttons nothing happens.
If I take it to Sprint do you think they will be able to get it to work again?
They won't be able to check if i am rooted since it doesnt show anything...
I already looked at the whole JTAG REPAIRs everywhere and I dont want to pay 60$ to fix my phone if Sprint can do it for free
Also I dont want to buy a USB JIG either.

Sprint won't do it for Free if you are out of warranty. Maybe $35 with luck, $150 if you have TEP.
But you can try... Play the "it just stop working" game.

The primary option you're looking for is a JTAG repair.
I believe you can purchase the materials yourself to do it, but if I've read correctly, you'd most likely have to solder stuff to other stuff (technical answer, I know!).
If you don't mind paying someone to repair it, you might want to try out Mobile Tech Videos. I haven't used their services personally and their website looks a bit on the low-budget end of the spectrum, but other XDA members have gone to them and they gave them a positive review.

I'm gonna stick with what The Root said, and say the following:
You done messed up, son. You flashed a ROM knowing full well that there was a chance it'd brick your phone. Now it's bricked because you didn't read all the information available to you. To expect Sprint to pay for your mistake is, if I may be frank, irresponsible. I know $60 may be a lot to some people, but you were messing around with a $500 piece of technology. But I'd say it'd be much better to take this situation as a learning experience, and in the future you'll never brick your phone again because you'll make sure to do 3 or 4 google searches and really do your due diligence before flashing something on your phone.

For what it's worth, I just paid the $150 TEP on my phone because I was trying to upgrade my TWRP to 2.4.2.0 and something happened that caused me to brick my phone.

It depends. Do you pay the monthly TEP fee for your phone? If you're enrolled in the program (and pay the monthly fee), you can walk into a store and (for most situations) get a new (or most-likely refurbished) phone the same or next day (for the low, low cost of the $150 deductible). Typically no questions asked.

They can't give you a new one, they can only send you the 'certified replacements'......it has to do with agreements they have with Samsung. You can get a swapped brand spanking new one provided you are within the 14 day post purchase window.

Ah, I stand corrected. Also, I just remembered that you don't have to go into the store, just file a claim online.
I have only used the TEP once (for my old EVO 4G). Do you have to return the old phone?

Hi guys,
Yesterday I purchased a Galaxy Note 2 that didn't boot for $90. Thinking, as the **** that I am, that it would be fairly easy to repair I tried to enter download mode and it doesn't do anything.
I have done all the button combinations and cannot get it in to download or recovery mode, is there any hope for it?
AT&T should replace it under warranty since it is not 1 year old, but they are being a**holes and telling me they can't repair it as it was not registered on my account.
Any ideas? Worse case scenario I sell it for parts.
Thanks!!
You could try a Jig to kick it into download. Not 100% sure they work on the note II but they do on most Samsung devices

Yes, people tend to forget that all phones (at least AT&T ones) come with a 1 year limited warranty. If there is no evidence of physical damage (huge bumps and cracks) or water damage, they will exchange it.

Ok cool, thanks. I guess I have to get a chat session underway with AT&T then.

I was pretty sure the warranty was for the original purchaser. Seems really shady to me. . .

You know I was thinking the same thing but figured if they are allowing it then what the hell...
You know the other side to this is if they get it back and determine there was tampering with it that caused the defect he might find a 600+ charge on his bill. Just a thought.

This sounds remarkably similar to my deleted comment...
I just felt the cost of my note 3 go up after reading the outcome...
So be it I guess...
But I would never accept the new device...(not how I roll)......g

Me neither. But I won't share my comments past that . . . you already understand.

Not worth the trouble.
I missed it. I hope it wasn't a lesson on integrity.

No where does it say that it covers ONLY the first consumer, it specifies that the warranty coverage starts AFTER the first consumer purchased it and that it lasts for 1 year.
The AT&T rep was in complete Knowledge of the fact that I did not purchase the device on an AT&T store, and funny thing is that he went as far as to tell me that the phone had another 100 in warranty in case I needed anything.
I think that the fact that Samsung explicitly says First Consumer validates my argument that subsequent consumers can enjoy the warranty, obviously under the 1 year established upon purchasing the product.

I suppose its because it says first purchaser so that leaves you out.
Time to move on. I'm sure you're going to enjoy the phone. Mine is broken so I'm saving up the $240 for the repair.

Think you should letter to read contracts, if it doesn't say "the warranty covers only the first consumer" then anyone with the phone can have it serviced under warranty if it's under the one year period.
Also, and what I have stated before and you seem unable to understand, AT&T is well aware that I'm not the initial buyer, I said that to the rep at least three times in our call. How do you explain the fact that Att is exchanging the device if you say the Samsung warranty only covers the first consumer.
