My phone is blacklisted - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

so my phone i bought off craigslist is blacklisted. what do i doo? can i delete the efs folder and it will work? or like unlock it and it will work on att? what do i do!?

You may be stuck. Did you get any type of proof of purchase off the person. Anyway to prove you bought it from a legitimate owner?

i bought it off craigslist so i have to proof and the person wont pick up. what do i do!?

Without being able to prove you bought the phone in a legit deal probably nothing. Craigslist is full of this. I also got my phone from craigslist but had the guy meet me at a t mobile store and got a t mobile rep to verify the transaction.

You may be stuck. There have been three other posts that I can remember about same thing happening. Unless you can providetmobile that you bought it feom that perso. And show he purchased it and didnt steal it, they may be able to take it off blacklist.

Something i have been wondering lately... So far, i have only seen documents of the sk4g (my own personal experience) and gs2 being blacklisted. Do all phones now qualify? Only samsung?

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.

WTF??? blacklist? there is no such thing, I'm currently using a GS2 that was "lost" by my GF, claimed on insurance, and "found" by me.

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.

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.

I wasnt sure you existed

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?

no, keep it as a tablet, or file a police report, and hope to get your money back

Don't sell it or your just as bad as the person who sold it to you

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.

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.

Sucks that it's pretty much not remotely safe to buy phones from craigslist anymore.

Doing it at a T-Mobile store won't stop the phone from being reported stolen. All the person has to do is call customer support after they leave the store and claim stolen.

The receipt doesn't matter either. If you buy it from someone and they don't pay their bill or report it stolen it doesn't matter if you have the receipt or not or did it at the store or not.
If the person you bought it from can't pay their bill for the phone or service why would T-Mobile let someone else use the phone?

Unless you know the person, yes. Ebay wouldn't be a bad idea because of buyer protection but I wouldn't buy one off of CL unless you can prove the phone has been paid for, but even then the person can just call in and report it stolen.

If they do T-Mobile will switch the phone into your name.

[Q] MY Samsung Galaxy 3S stolen,HELP?

Greeting
I have a Samsung Galaxy 3S, stolen from me , from about 3 weeks ago or more,
Unfortunately, I did not activate tracking process on my account in Galaxy site!
But I have a serial number to my Samsung Galaxy !!!!
Is it possible to track mobile by serial number???,
If possible Can anyone help me to tracking my Mobile by serial number?,
Or tell me how can i do??
Please help me,
Thank you very much.
No it is not possible to find a a phone using serial, if you got it from your carrier then the best thing you can do is notify your carrier and and tell them you lost it, they may tag it in the system so it is not used on their network...
Pretty sure there's nothing you can do. If you already reported stolen it can no longer be used on at&t. Sorry man...sucks.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
If you happened to have made an imei backup you might be able to get your imei number from it. If the phone is ever turned on and logs onto a network then the carrier may be able to trace it.
If you have renters insurance (usually no deductible) you should be able to file a claim.
Homeowners same thing but u would have to pay..
Last I checked att doesn't care about stolen phones though.. They won't block the imei...

3 weeks is too long to do anything else. Had it just happened I would recommend going to "play" on google.com and installing "Android Lost" to the phone remotely. Then you could take pictures from the camera and see what the bastard looks like. You could then turn on the GPS and find out where he is. Then you go to you local walmart and purchase a nail puller from the hardware section........well you know the rest.

You could remotely install the app called Plan B if they haven't wiped your phone yet... it's from the makers of the security app Lookout.
Carrier can only block, they will never tell you if they find it because of liability issues (so you don't go to someone's home and shoot them for the stolen phone and the carrier gets sued and you find out the poor guy paid for the phone on Craigslist from someone else who stole it, etc etc)
You can file a police report and tell the carrier to notify the cops but cops won't care much because they probably have better things (things with higher priority) to worry about.

What Should I Do?

On Nov 6th I met up with someone at Starbucks from Craigslist to purchase the Galaxy Note 2 for $450 with box charger and instructions. I checked the esn number and it was clean. I inserted my sim card and was able to use the phone. On Friday Dec 28th, my phone all of sudden couldn't go on the web using 4g and I couldn't make and receive incoming calls. I called T-Mobile using a landline and they said my imei has been blocked. I went to the T-Mobile store and paid $50+ tax to use a loaner phone because I can't be without a phone. Today T-Mobile told me that this phone can't be activated due to equipment installment program. What should I do? Should I sell this phone on eBay and specify that this imei is blacklisted? Maybe someone from around the world could use this phone unlocked. Right now the phone is LOCKED. Should unlocking be my expense or should it be the buyers expense to unlock this phone? Should I use the money I get from selling this device to buy a brand new galaxy note 2?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Track down the creep who sold it to you and get your money back. Call him and let him know you have contacted the police and they are reviewing the tape from Starbucks and you fully expect to get your money back. Have him meet you at the police station for the refund.
Hey, may not work but worth a try. I'd rattle the hell out of him and would not leave him alone. He knew what he was up to and essentially stole your money. That's not ok.
Outside of saber rattling, it's now your problem. If you like the device enough, just pay whatever T-Mo needs to get it turned back on. You got a good price so whatever they need should still be cheaper than buying a new one.
Edit: well, who knows what T-Mobile needs paid. It may be worth it to just sell as blacklisted and call it a day.
The person who sold me the phone is the only one could make payments toward the phone. Its a lady that sold me the phone.

Just do it yourself... follow instructions from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982
This is the second time I am hearing of this. I blame tmobile. If you call them to ask if the phone is clean to purchase and they tell you yes then it's their fault for not making sure it doesn't have any outstanding balance. To the Op you have yet to explain why you haven't contacted the seller. The other poster didn't try to contact the seller either. So either you are both idiots or maybe you are trying to figure out how to unlock a stolen phone. And please don't say you can't find the owner because tmobile had there information and with a push from the police they have to give it up.

So instead of dealing with the person that sold you the phone you are going to unlock it? Once again I am calling BS on this and now you have people helping you unlock a phone that is not legally yours.
....... But unlocking won't unblock the IMEI o.0 Unless you're planning to use it on another carrier than Tmo, unlocking won't allow you to use the phone.

I have to agree with this. Tmo wouldn't just tell you the phone was clear & then turn around & say "Oops, we meant to say it's blocked!" If they actually made a mistake when the OP first called in, he needs to escalate until they either unblock him or credit him for a comparable new phone. This whole story just smells funny. I know that if I had just dropped hundreds of dollars on a phone that I couldn't even use thanks to the seller's negligence/fraudulence, I'd be sitting in the police station filing a report within minutes of finding out it was blocked. I can't even imagine just saying "oh well, guess I got scammed!" about something like this. The OP is either incredibly rich & $450 is just pocket change, or else something is fishy here.

I agree with those who say you should hold the lady responsible. Contact her and see if she will make it good. If not, small claims courts is the way to go. I've done two small claims cases. Its easy and not expensive. Sounds like you have a solid case. Of course once you get a judgement you may have a problem collecting if she's a deadbeat. But if she's got an income you can force her to pay up. My 2 cents. Good luck.
Could this phone be activated on Straight Talk? Might be able to get most of your money back via CL if someone wants to use it on prepaid.

[Q] HOW TO Purchase 3rd party phone properly

So I might be purchasing a new phone through Craigslist, the guy doesn't have a receipt but claims to work for T-Mobile, and has the phone bought out right paid in full... If I just go to a T-Mobile and have them check the IMEI and the dudes plan, they can pull a receipt for him and me showing that it is paid up correct? Also, how can I go about preventing him from calling it in stolen or lost, and then me having a IMEI corrupted phone? Any word of advice fellas?
He will have to be present to give them permission to access his account. Then he will have to ask for the specific info and let you view it with him.
Then ask a store employee, not him, to remove the s3 from his account and make note of it in yours.
Make sure you view either an e-receipt, or his last two phone bills. Check if he's paying on an eip.
This is just what common sense would tell me to do. Not sure if there's an actual transfer of ownership they can do or what. But I would have to be highly satisfied with the info before handing over my cash!
Its a little extreme, but you could have a bill of sale written up, kinda like when you buy a car from an individual.
Just be comfortable with the situation and seller. It doesn't matter what steps you take, if he does something to get it blacklisted, you'll have no recourse w tmobile I don't think.

Almost exactly what I asked from him and the second I did ask, he backed out and said its too complicated and furthermore removed the post from CL... I didn't think about the last two bills but will if I decide to try again on another seller. Doubt I will though. Will just wait to see if someone buys my s3 or til next paycheck. Thanks Doc.

I'm in az and I personally carry so not too worried. Most wouldn't do a thing if the situation arises to it, all sneaky crack heads lol.
People are super sketch though,I had a conversation yesterday with the person not wanting to meet up at a T-Mobile and wanting my address to come buy my phone lol, they refused the idea of meeting public haha. Ya I resorted to just wanting to buy it at a store instead now. Still wanna sell the s3 though.
