Ahem, sooo I'm am strongly considering trading this phone for a thunderbolt (for the root) and I am just scared that if something is wrong with it, Verizon wouldn't give me a replacement. Anyone know whether this is true or not?
I just don't want to be stuck with a defective phone.

Wait, is your phone defective or are you just wanting root? If its defective (as in something is broken) it would depend on your warranty. From my experience, verizon only replaces a phone with the same one or of equal.
Where are you planning on getting the thunderbolt? If through Verizon or a certified reseller, then you have nothing to worry about. If you buy off cl or eBay, then it can go either way, but most likely they won't help.

If you have asurion then all you have to do is pay the deductible and they'll replace it.

I noticed you posted in another thread asking to borrow an XTC Clip. You should search on Craigslist for people that do business unlocking phones, a lot of them have them in their arsenal of tools.

Thank you so much for suggesting this! Immediately went to craigslist, and found this guy in my area:
http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cps/2538712939.html
Sending him an email now, and hoping to have S-OFF by the end of the weekend. If you're looking for a clip and haven't tried this, do it. This guy charges 20, which is what I would expect to throw in for use of a clip anyway.

I did this and found a place. I asked them if they used an xtc clip to unlock the bootloader. The lady swore up and down that you actually don't want to do that and that their software will work just fine and that if I unlocked my bootloader I would loose my recovery. Something tells me the just put z4 root on some phones and call it a day, or just install Su

So I'm guessing you don't have the warranty anymore?
Would the phone still be covered under manufacturer warranty? Like if the phone itself is defective, can I still get a CLNR?

What do you mean? It should have warranty.

I am 99% sure that if you trade you phone for another phone on craigslist, you will not have any warranty on the new craigslist phone. Warranty will only cover the original owner. I can't possibly see Verizon condoning people swapping their phones with one another on craigslist. The whole thing just seems real sketchy to me.
From Verizon's website:
"IX. OTHER CONDITIONS:
A. This Warranty or Service Contract is extended to the original subscriber buyer only and may not be assigned or transferred to subsequent subscriber buyers"
[ http://support.vzw.com/terms/products/extended_warranty.html ]
This would indicate to me, that if I traded or sold my phone to you, even though I have an extended warranty on it, the warranty eligibility would NOT be transferred to you. I would highly recommend NOT doing this.

So this mean no Asurion or manufacturer warranty? I sure when Verizon does CLNRs they're from manufacturer and not Asurion.

Does anyone have the hook up when it comes to getting replacement devices? Long story short I filed a complaint with Sprint because I was hung up on and disrespected by customer service because my device is not fixable, noone at Sprint is comprehending what I'm telling them. So they tell me I'm "sh*t outta luck" and yea they actually said that to me. Any help please??

Same thing happened to mine, I took it into Sprint. I told the tech guy that my charging port was loose and it wouldn't charge. As I started to go into further detail, he told me it was a known issue, that it couldn't be repaired, and that he'd have me a replacement the next day after 3pm.
It was my first real one on one experience with customer service and I was impressed. I do have insurance, which he said was why I was getting a replacement free of charge, which is confusing since so many people say that insurance is only for things that require a deductible. I think insurance has a warranty of its own or something, but I'm not sure about that.
If you have insurance, just take it into the store and hopefully you'll get the same service I did. If you don't have insurance but it's still under its one year warranty from HTC then you can go that route. If you want to place a complaint, you can email Dan Hesse's office directly. I don't know the email address but you should be able to find it via Google. A lot of people have had issues resolved by doing so.

There is one of three reasons you're blacklisted.
The phone was reported lost/stolen to Asurion and a claim was made.
The phone is a T-Mobile demo device that was stolen.
It was purchased on a Value plan and the customer defaulted on the bill.
You can try tinkering with the efs but no idea what trouble that will get you in or if that works on the GS2. If you can find the craigslist ad or money order receipt they may reverse it but it might have to go to risk assessment and take awhile.

I was wondering if they considered a difference between lost and stolen. But again, i was told they blacklist for reasons that directly affect them - fraud, theft from a store, or not making payments.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I thought asurion required that you file a police report if you told them someone stole it before they filed your claim? If you say its lost and found it later they may not blacklist it assuming that most people will . I have heard that at times asurion will allow you to keep your found phone if you claim lost then found it later. Not 100% sure on that.

yeah I don't think tmobile or asurion will blacklist a phone if it was lost because if found, it can still be used. However, if someone purposely stole a phone from a store/person, then it would be blacklisted. Not 100% sure but sounds about right.
well the phone is brand new condition. no scratches nothing. you think ill be able to sell it for only $200?

Seconded like in every other fraud or stolen phone thread
I'm currently having some problems with my charger staying plugged to my phone. It's very loose for some reason and constantly unplugs overnight even with the slightest touch.
My screen has been cracked for quite some time now (prior to this issue) but I was wondering if this would restrict me from filing an insurance claim on my phone. Would they hassle me for a broken screen?
Thanks,
basically got 2 options at this point, pay the fee , send your phone back, wait for replacement,
or claim it lost, pay the deductible, keep your phone an let them send another one to you, up to you, not promoting this way,but you do have these two options
for option #1, what exactly is the fee?
I'm considering the option of saying that the phone is just suddenly slightly defective (the charger port) in order to get a new refurb one. I've done this multiple times before and got a replacement for free but never with a broken screen.

Filing a claim and getting a refurb will cost you $130. I wouldn't recommend the 2nd option mentioned above, but I'm not going to tell you what or what not to do.

You can't claim warranty exchange with Tmobile with a broken screen. They will charge you restocking fee $400+. Its better to call insurance which is $150 I believe.

I agree. This has been my experience. Pay the deductible and keep both phones.
Don't say it's lost and keep both phones, that is insurance fraud.
File an insurance claim on the Asurion website for the honest reason. The fee is $130. They will send you a new phone with free next day shipping, THEN you send your phone back with the provided packaging and prepaid label.

Yes that is exactly correct. You can't keep both. If you claim it "lost" they'll blacklist the imei of your old when you get your new. There's no way around it. Don't cheat the system op.

But that doesn't cost the company money and cause rates to go up
Returning to stock, the companies are getting the phones back to refurbish and sell again. Lying and saying you lost your $500 phone to get another $500 phone is no where near the same thing.

Huh how It doesn't cost the company money, shipping cost that they pay.. Hard bricking devices or soft bricks that some don't even bother to fix and send it in.technically a phone is not a phone when you can't call or do what a phone is for when the IMEI is blocked. Also rooting may bring hardware issues etcc so if the phone is malfunctioning people are going to send it in. that's also insurance fraud because you caused the phone to not work and you want to get a new one or refurbished. I get your point though but I still think rates will go up either way, just like gas does when the economy us bad .

With insurance it doesn't matter if you hacked it and fried the processor. That's what you pay for insurance for. Using it to get a second phone is not what it's for. I see where your point could be valid for a warranty exchange though.

My understanding is you pay your deductible after submitting an "affidavit" about what happened, and they ship you a replacement phone the next day, so it's not a one for one swap, so your little brother can use it as an expensive mp3 player. . Just curious, did you try putting the phone in a bag of rice for a few days before giving it up for good? Might save you 100 bucks. Just sayin' Good luck! :thumbup:

No problem. It's even noted on the site when filing a claim. I go through phones like crazy and I read everything. It goes something along the lines like any found devices claimed through Asurion are the property of Asurion and must be returned yada yada.. Something like that, it's been a while I lost or had a phone stolen lol
Ps: I had two claims this year. I would gladly screencap the email they sent me thanking me for returning my liquor damaged EVO LTE that was completely fried. So if they would take a liquor damaged one with a fried motherboard why not a water damaged one which still powers on?

I used them once and paid the $100 deductible which pi$$ed me off because I had been paying them $9 a month over the past 4 years- enough to cover the cost of a new premium smartphone and the $100 deductible. And once I got my replacement phone (refurbished, not new) the first month or so were covered by the Sprint warranty yet, I still got charged me $9 for the "Asurion".
They want you to believe the replacement phone they are sending you cost them the same retail price you'd have bought it for from Samsung but that's bull****. I am sure they get them for buy them from sprint for whatever sprint pays for recycled phones., probably $50 then they mark it up 100% and viola $100 deductible. And if you tell Asurion you want a new phone instead of a refurbished phone they'll lie to you and tell you Samsung doesn't make the D710 anymore. But one visit to the Samsung website suggests otherwise.
In short I wouldn't think twice about getting over on Asurion.
And no it's NOT Insurance fraud. Insurance fraud is a crime when committed against a real insurance company which is regulated by the state.
Ask these people if they think you should stick it to Asurion.
Take the phone apart and hit the board lightly with rubbing alcohol and a soft tooth brush.
Before you do tho take a few pics of the board and post them and ill let ya know the extent of the damage

I just went ahead and reported the phone water damaged and I'm just going to pay the 100 deductible I did get a call from assurion saying they do limited these forums and advises against fraud and they do monitor these forums.
