So YOU bricked your phone and you are expecting to benefit from it? Take the refurb, stop trying to scam the system.

What happened to stolen phones?! HELP

my galaxy s ii was stolen today at school and i was wondering if they will give me a new phone for free or will i have to pay full price again for a new one, I have insurance. Or can they like use the Satellite to track the phone down so they can give it back to me?
you will have to pay the deductible which is like $140 or something like that...
if you have the higher insurance it has remote tracking...i have never seen anyone go that route though and i would imagine the chances of recovering it are slim to none
If you call your number 69 times the phone will self combustion, causing severe 3rd degree Burns to the thief. Simply wait at the local ER and take the next burn victim to your local authorities.

the good thing about tracking through the tmobile insurance way is that they do it on their end right? its not reliant on an app that you downloaded...but i doubt that they will recover it though..its probably more if you left it somewhere, they could remind you of the area you were in or something
ive never used that method so im just guessing here

yep...the basic one is like $5
so you should probably call them asap and ask them about tracking it and see how that works
and the deductible is $130..i just checked
Try loading prey on it. You can do it from your cpu and it will tell you where the phone is.

why not call tmobile and track it already? you already pay like an extra $2/month for it...and if its an even half-way decent method of tracking...it should be just as good if not better than most of the locator apps you can download since you are doing it through the carrier

Easiest way to brick?

Ok I know some of you are probably wondering what type of question is this lol.. Last night I had a few drinks and dropped my phone, now I have a cracked screen at the bottom right of the phone. Called my friend (works at sprint) he said he can't swap it out just because of the screen but told me if I brick it he can swap it out, all I have to do is blame the new ota update when I come in so his manager gives the approval. So what's the fastest way to get a BLOD? Would removing the wire while running a sfhub OC do it?? I just can't live with a cracked screen ima go crazy!!!

Someone is jealous they don't have a hook up at Sprint I see.. You'll get over it! And it's *your mistake* Not you're! You're = You are :thumbdown:
"Hook up" at sprint is not equal to the "right" thing to do... I don't think he was jealous as much as he was pointing out what you are attempting to do could be considered/is fraud... I'm not passing judgment on you but perhaps if you're accident prone you may want to consider adding insurance to the line, which is the route many of us around here take... additionally no one is forcing you to live with a broken screen, replacements can be found on eBay for reasonable prices and to change it it's just 9 Phillips head screws and 3 cables to unplug/ replug... not super hard to do... lastly I hope I didn't accidentally mispell anything in this reply as I wouldn't want to feel the wrath of the grammer nazi fraudster...

Yes, I'm jealous because you lack the intelligence to figure out something so trivial, I'm also jealous because "YOUS" to broke to pay to have a screen fixed. Also....I'm jealous that you have a friend that works for sprint, actually extremely jealous. I only have a brother and two close friends that work for sprint.
How does one go about getting only one friend that works for sprint and then begin to radiate this sprint branded swag that clearly creates uncontrollable amounts of jealousy because of said friend?

I think some one needs to calm down. I don't have any friends at sprint...any more. I use to work for them but not as a phone tech but cell tower maintenance. The guy is looking to get hooked up. Good for him. I don't agree with it but to each their own.

"YOUR" absolutely right. Myself and others don't mind the cost of insurance going up because of false claims.
That's the problem with this world instead of holding people accountable for their actions, their stupidity is excused with acts such as these (eg. Ins cost goes up). Same concept as welfare. How many of us are ecstatic that our stolen tax dollars go to funding that?

I'll just keep my fingers crossed that he has rooted and flashed a ROM, so when he does brick and thinks he's pulling a fast one they see the binary and tell him to go orally stimulate a goat.

I don't hear Sprint *****ing about all the money they have taken throughout the years for insurance I hardly ever use. Or how about these ****ty 3g speeds they give us? I don't hear Sprint saying they would give us a credit for all the money we put in their pocket for data which is barely usable.. Some of you are too funny!

Hardware warranty with AOKP

Thought I have seen somewhere that if the phone has a hardware issue and you send it back to Samsung they will still honor the warranty? My USB plug-in on the phone broke so I could not Odin back to stock before I sent it in. What are my chances of them fixing the plug under warranty? That's the only reason I sent it in to them anyway, but it did have AOKP on it. Thoughts? Experiences?

I dunno.. I am pretty sure rooting voids the warranty so its going to depend on if they look at it close enough.
Yeah I knew rooting voided the warranty, but I thought I read on one of the bad screen/good screen threads that some people got theirs replaced even with custom roms on them because it is an obvious hardware issue and nothing related to rooting or the like.

Thats like saying you knew a few guys who ran a red light and didn't get a ticket, so it must be ok then right?
I am not being rude, but if you knew it was voided from rooting then you shouldn't have sent it that way.
Fingers crossed they take no notice of it and just fix your hardware.
I suppose there is a chance they will fix your phone for you if it's rooted but there are no guarantees

To be honest I don't care either way if its covered. I can just as easily buy a new phone. The point of this thread was t see if it mattered or not if it was rooted when it was going in for hardware issues and not software. I'm also not saying anyone has cheated the system in the past or has even tried to. I actually thought Samsung didn't care about software if it was a hardware issue with the phone.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA Premium HD app
Should it be covered no, however whenever they get the phones they just flash them with the stock rom anyway so they probably wont care. Technically speaking though remember the yellow droid whenever you were rooting how he said it would void it so yah
From personal experience... sent in a T989 for warranty exchange. When I bough it, it had a rom installed. I sent it I'm due to water damage. Cost me 120$ for the replacement being water damaged. But never was stated anything of the phone being rooted or " customized".
Last but not least, that was done in 3 days. Before I knew anything about flashing or rooting phones. So just gonna have to hope they don't do nothing about internals...

Probably not, just sounds bricked...what happened before this?
Plugging it into the charger if it doesn't turn on likely wouldn't do any good, as the phone technically needs to be "on" to charge the battery correctly. Even when off, the phone is still in a pseudo-on mode when plugged in.

Yup solid blue was when I bricked. Gave em the phone and they thought it was an LCD issue so they replaced the screen. Obviously no joy lol. So they ordered me a replacement and since I had TEP, it was at no charge.

Unfortunately, though, our M&P regarding rooted and ROMed phones has changed recently, and we do now have to cover hard bricks (provided they're not caused by liquid, physical damage, etc.). Doesn't make sense...but it is what it is.

If you have the blue light of death and can't get into Download Mode or Recovery, then you can just go to a Sprint store and pay $35 to get a replacement, even if you don't have TEP. This is what I did when I was hit with the emmc superbrick bug back in February. They will probably give you a refurb though. Sometimes the techs can be uptight though so it may help to act dumb and claim you were accepting the FF18 OTA update when something happened to your phone.

lol wow okay most people learn from their mistakes. Doesn't matter what the tep covers you still pay hard earned money for it.. i'm a tech as well and yeah very rarely i reject exchange requests when I know the phone was bricked because of flashing. If it's at the end of the month i'll maybe reject it because of my AE rate but beginning of the month i'll help happily And you educate urself more after these silly mistakes. Sprint makes way more than enough money from new acts, so considering the cost for insurance, shouldnt be a problem. Deductibles and insurance cost is going up anyways for these new phones with a higher retail price of $550 and thats BS.

Howd your return experience go? Did you talk em into letting you keep the battery like I did? :victory:
I had to get the white too cause no gray. .I thought it was going to suck..Now I'm glad cause it looks so clean and every phone I've had was gray anyway.

It was pretty easy to return just had two go to a different sprint store to get the phone. I went to the store at the main campus in overland park. I like the white one it looks ok and no I wish I would have thought about asking for the battery I was just excited to be getting one that worked i didn't think about it. Would be nice to have an extra one. But when the lady was activating my new phone she asked if I had the charger, headset and box and everything and I don't have it she said don't worry about it so I got 2 chargers and 2 headsets now lol. Also yea that sucks the stock image is out now
Lol just saw that lame o well got extra stuff out of it and I really like the chargers they have longer cords than most of my other chargers.
Yeah, it would be nice to have extra charger. Ive been looking online and nothing. Sometimes I go spend the night at my moms or we go out of town and its nice to bring an extra one with without having to grab my own.
