Yes, I know the title might seem weird, however I've had my Desire to repair 2 times now, and if it breaks one more time, I can get my money back, and eventually buy a Samsung Galaxy S2, so I somehow need to brick the phone, without it being traceable by the shop... Is that possible?
OMG OMG OMG HAHA, ok flash pb99img.zip and pull batt out when its flashing the radio,
But lemme tell you this: YOURE SUCH A NOOB

Why do you think I'm a noob? For choosing the SGS2? I always likes to try new stuff...
Haha. Well, get some mud. Make sure its sunny out. A mold would help. And um, just tell it all your wants.

LOL nah Well, I know I might be stupid bricking my Desire, however I've had so many problems with it now, and I just wants to try something new, I've had my Desire since release in Denmark, I've had the AMOLED version, and if it comes back with a S-LCD from the rep, I'm gonna be so pissed
Just sell it and get the money and put some money of your own and you can buy a sgs2..
I dont think the shop would just get you trade the desire for a SGS2... their not stupid and you probably have to pay sum to trade your desire for sgs2

HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade
Hi, I dont know where to ask this! I put this upgrade to my htc desire form htc developer site, and now my sd card does not work at all! I tried few other micro sd cards and nothing! The software can not read the micro sd cards!
What should I do?
Isn't this technically fraud? Id be careful asking these kinds of questions on a forum like this
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Not only technically. I hope HTC notices it and he doesn't get sh1t and is left with a dead desire and no money.
If you want a new phone, buy one and sell your old on ebay or to a friend or something.

I can only hope. I've used your ROM's, top notch. My Incredible's USB port just quit working today. Took it to VZW, and of course. Out of warranty. So I have to buy something else at full price. Lucky for me, my friend got an Incredible 2, brand new condition with a 32GB SD card. Said he'd sell it to me for $400. So I may be joining you guys over here soon .
Thank you so much!
Hopefully we can get a permanent root for Inc2 soon. I replaced my first Incredible with an Inc2, and I love this phone. Now all we need is root and some good roms

I'll probably still be here, until I can afford a replacement. Figures that the USB port would stop working (besides charging) just a week after the one year warranty expired. Which means I'm stuck being stock. I ran the RUU and S-ON to take it to Verizon for a replacement. Forgetting it was just out of warranty. And now I can't root, can't run Unrevoked. Sure, I can temp root with Z4root. But where's the fun in that? No ROM's etc. This sucks .
But, once I have the funds. I think I'll just jump here to the INC 2. The thunderbolt is HUGE, and there's no 4G here anyway. At least until the end of the year or 2012. By then I'll actually have an upgrade anyway. Hopefully we'll see a permanent root, either here or for the Incredible S.
So htc just bought a Dinc 2 and I'm itching to root it, I know there's a temp root for it, but since its been such as long ass time since I've rooted my Dinc OG, I forgot what to do. So I have three annoying questions, one: how do I temp root it and/or where can I find this info, two: is there an eta for a perm root and if so, anybody working on ROMS, and three, help lol

Yeah, its the same cord I was using. I've used different cords, different computers. Took it into VZW with their confirmed working ones. Didn't matter. Even hboot doesn't recognize it. Usually it would say "HBOOT USB PLUG". So, something hardware related. At least it charges. I'm considering just keeping it as is. Unfortunately I can't root now either. Permanently that is. So it'll just stay stock. At least we know we can expect Gingerbread for it OTA.

I don't think he was referring to you... I think he was trying to say that Admin should make a sticky that people should really check the phone's imei at tmobile store to see if they're blacklisted.

its not new if its "blacklisted" its call buying it used, you would not have this problem if you bought it new.
either way eventually tmobile gonna track you down. keep us updated if it work
i also was scamed i bought a amaze from Clist called Tmobile with imei # and thy said it was good.i used the phone for 3 weeks, then i droped it broke the screen and call insurance to get it replaced thy said the phone was reported lost and will not replace the phone. the insurance company had the phone black listed but tmobile did not.
so now im stuck with a amaze with cracked screen that still works on tmobile but is black listed with insurance.
moral of the story is you have to call tmobile and asurion with the imei # before you buy a phone from someone other then Tmobile
Return it and get your money back. You have been scammed.
It seems that this kind of thing is happening more often since T-mobile started blacklisting phones that are reported list or stolen. Also they are blacklisting phones that have been purchased on a payment plan and the owner terminated the contract and never paid for the phone or the ETF.
Good luck

I personally stopped trading/selling phones on cl because there are just too many kids and immature people to deal with. plus now with all this there is no guarantee that you are getting a quality product. Just contact the person and demand your money back. Tell them you'll take them to small claims court. You have evidence from Tmobile and Ashton that the phones were reported lost/stolen. And you were not aware of that at the point of sale.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
One way to protect yourself is checking the database at http://www.checkmend.com/us
Ask the seller the phone IMEI before buying. If the phone is not legit you will never hear from the seller.
Which phones are these ???

Sucks that it's pretty much not remotely safe to buy phones from craigslist anymore. I have been doing it for years and always got the latest and greatest cause some idiot had not idea how much their phone was really worth. But with all this blacklisting now at tmobile, i think i am done with that practice .
Sell them to me ???

Hi, first off sorry if I am in the wrong section. If so can a moderator please move it? Thanks.. Anyways I got my Wildfire S from T-mobile back in November for free because it is on a 2 year contract. I like the phone but I just would like to upgrade to something better. (I can't stick with a certain item for long lol) Right now it's running Cyanogenmod with the bootloader unlocked but I think I have to switch it to stock. I'm not sure lol. How can I do that if I no longer have the stock rom backup? Can I just leave it with a fresh install of Cyanogenmod? Also am I even allowed to sell it? Would I have to notify Tmobile or can I just sell that phone and use my Tmobile Sim on a different unlocked or Tmobile phone? Last question, how much can I sell the phone for?
Sorry for the list of questions lol. The phone is in great condition with no scratches and it has a black case I bought from Amazon for 10 bucks that I will include. Also a 4GB Micro-SD Card and the wall/car charger. Also have the original box.
I would appreciate all answers. Thank you!
PM Me and I will help you return it back to 100% stock with downgraded bootloader and radio.

Oh, trust me I know.
But I also know there is a difference between doing something for free and money. Trust me on that one that there is .
Rooted, flashed my fair share of roms on buddies, colleagues phones, and never ever one of them came to me, that something is bugged.
I even had to hear from a third party that they had some issues. They never said I was at fault. Never.
However, repairing a computer and been forced, money put into my pocket with angry looks and going away, no matter how much I said I don't want it. Or getting a chocolate ...
this equals to a next call with "you know, you repaired I know, and its for sure not your fault, but could you come and have a look?"

Buck up your ideas man! XDA is an open community where people of like minded interests try to help better their phones and their lives etc...
Asking if you should charge someone to root their phone for them when the whole process was originally created by someone who released it for free is just dim witted imho.
I can imagine that with an attitude like yours you wont have these 'friends' for much longer.
Give me a tenner and I'll tell you how much to charge.
XDA is a free and open community. Send him here or do it for free.
Discussing how much money to scam from your friend isn't exactly what XDA is all about.
