Hi,i have been trying to revive my phone for about a month and tried a lot of debrick images,with 2 diferrent SD cards,the second one was a "top of the line" samsung Evo that cost me about 40$,and i f*ck*ng give up.
Anyways,do you guys know any store or site that does Jtag services,and that are 100% safe,even though my phone is a brick i still want it with me.I live and mozambique and they dont have any stores that have that service,so my only option is shipping it to fix

I have a serious problem. My tmobile g2 is rooted and has virtuous rom installed. It worked fine for a week but then all of the sudden it died. Completely shut off as I disconnected phone from the charger. Now I can't get the phone to turn on. I have tried volume down and press power button. No response. I took out the battery and sd card and put them back in. No response. I even tried battery from a different g2 phone. still the phone refuses to turn on. Did I brick my phone or what?
I bought the phone on craigslist so I can't go to t-mobile for a solution.
I have just spoken to HTC repair line and given them all my info. They have asked me to send in the cell for a repair. If the cell has no out-of-warranty damage then it will be free. Now the problem is, out-of-warranty damage also includes modifying the software in the cell. Now mine is rooted and has a custom rom on it. You guys think they will find out or care to find out? I mean the phone is totally dead and will not boot up at all.
Please give solution before I sent it in. Is there anything I can do on my part to revive the cell? thanks.
It is really depends on your luck!!
maybe the phone is totally **** and they will give you a new one so will not
know it was rooted .or maybe they can fix it and will find out!!
this is a long shut but try to connect it to your computer and see if you can
you ADB shell by any chance??

Then how will tmobile be able to find out...
I bought a motorola cliq off craigslist and it had scratches so I called tmobile and returned it for a remanufactured one np. They don't know where u got it, u may be the original owners family member... there is a 1 year warranty from tmobile from the purchase date from tmobile. They don't care who u are, unless u were dumb enough to tell them u got it off craigslist....

Umm, I am not sure if its that simple. I remember we took a phone to tmobile for repair and they asked for receipts etc. It seems each telephone is registered to your name in your account and they know if this phone belonged to you or not. So lets see, I will try it and see if they can help me out. I will play dumb.
Thanks for the help.

if its that simple? I wasnt saying this is how it "should" happen. I said this is what happened with me. I dont understand why they would treat you any differently. They have a manufacture warranty for a year, fact.
But you are right, just play stupid... they should swap u out.
I swapped the cliq right when i bought it and then i swapped it again about 2 months ago (a week before the year was up). Swapped it then bought my wife a g2. so we have a brand new (remanuf) cliq in the closet just in case.
Hey guys
To make a long story short, I just had a Bell Optimus LTE that's doesn't boot. When I plug it to the charger or the PC all it does is blinking its soft buttons about 15 times. Tried to enter download mode but no dice... Guy who sold to me said he bricked it when he was trying to upagrade it to ICS.
I suspect it to be hard bricked since all what I see on my Device Manger is "QHSUSB_DLOAD"
I did a search on the board and I found 3 or 4 other cases looking for answers...
Question is can I save it or I just bought a paperweight?
I'm willing to paypal some money if it can be recovered
On a side note the guy who sold it to me didn't have to bill even if he had the box and all the included accessories. Will LG canada take it under warranty?
i would try to see if bell will send it in for repair...it's worth a shot, right?
if not maybe a seasoned developer might be able to help you out

well it boot up i cant get no signal wifi works, its on three network, i contact three and they started asking me all questions about were i got it from, i hanged up in case its stolen, or think maybe the bill was not paid
I assume that you put in your own sim and that you payed the bills ? And WiFi should work even without a simcard !

Sounds like you bought a stolen phone and the imei is blocked
No ROM flashing will sort that out, unfortunately. It's barred in the country you're in. It should work in other countries, but I reckon you've been fleeced with that one, I'm afraid.

Might be worth ringing 3 to see if they can do anything, but potentially the block will be the police block that permanently kills the phone.

Sadly this is the danger of buying phones via eBay and other online auction sites.
My advice is to file a dispute with PayPal (please tell us you paid via PayPal) to recover you money. Take the handset to your local police station and inform them of the situation and ask for a reference number, use this as your PayPal proof.
You will get your money back via PayPal and if the police cannot trace the original owner you should also be entitled to the handset if it was reported as lost, not stolen.
AFAIK IMEI bans cannot be reversed normally.
Always ask the seller of handsets on eBay for the IMEI so you can check that against blacklists. If the seller will not provide it, its stolen.
You can verify the info sellers provide using this service --> http://www.checkmend.com/uk/
Sadly thats all the advice we can offer. Talk and discussions on how to circumvent IMEI bans and changing of IMEI's is strictly prohibited and illegal in many countries.

Yes this is the best option for you, ebay will refund you and they will be held responsible about the fraudulent seller. (especially if it was covered by ebay buyer protection)
just bought a phone from a friend that he has not finshed paying off to Sprint . is there 1 a way to remove the sprint software and either leave the samsung software or to load the tmobile stuff in its place and 2 how can i unlock it to use on tmobile.
No. I am on sprint. Until financial obligations are met, its sim locked to imei.
no method can circumvent it.

Sorry, but nothing can be done to help. Also XDA forums doesn't allow these kinds of discussions.
Return the phone to your friend and get your money back... If he/she is a real friend this shouldn't be an issue.
dang i will check a local phone shop that said they could do it . if it dont work that was my next plan . its a close friend so have no issue returning it to him . i just couldnt pass up when he offered it to me 200

I'm sure eventually it might even be restricted since it doesnt sound like hes going to pay it off with Sprint.. not worth the troubles imo.. even if u could find people to circumvent Sprints policies (can be considered fraud) they might charge an arm and a leg as well as Sprint could lock it again down the road due to unpaid balance on it.

We discourage members from posting about things like this. Yes there may be situations where someone gets screwed and bought a device that was either financed and sold, or reported stolen, or the person stole it and is asking for help to unlock it, etc. We have no way of knowing what is or isn't true so we just don't allow these types of discussions. That being said you have been given some options by some people here so there is no need to keep this thread going at all. Best of luck, thread closed.
Long story short, GF and I broke up, she didnt pay the remaining balance of our trade in, I had no idea she did that and now my fold 3 has been remotely disbled by Samsung, is there a way around this ?

Samsung would have entered in to a contract with only one of you. Rather than "our" trade-in, it would have been your girlfriends, I assume.
So, you could contact Samsung and see if you can take over the contract - or start another one?
But, it sounds like the phone isn't fully paid off, so isnt owned by either of you yet.
Thats my delima, its under my exes name and when I called Samsung they refused to talk any further. I tried to pay it off but they dont want to hear me. Is there another way such as rooting ?
Pisses me off, im out a S21 because of this for trading in and using a older iPhone which im no longer fond off since I switched to Android.
Long story short, send it back to your GF as it's hers and get one for yourself ...
Can't places like Cricket Wireless activate them? I guess I'm thinking of a device that's carrier-branded, with it being that Samsung locked it, not sure.

You should check the IMEI against blacklist database. If it was purchased through a provider, chances are it will not work on that carrier, but should on others. If Samsung has it blacklisted, you're basically screwed.
Really frustrating, im trying to pay the balance owed so it can be reinststed, trying to avoid buying another one altogether since I gave up my last phone as part of the trade on this. Samsung doesn't want to talk to me.

Ummm I didn't send my trades in and before samsung sent me emails saying they was gonna disable it i signed out my samsung account before they could disable i aint stupid i just been doing this to save money on phones for years samsung aint getting 2000 out of me and then i crossflashed to verzion rom bc my z fold 3 is unlocked us version and i can prove it that also i am using my z fold 3 to type this now and all i paid samsung is 169 so i got a z fold 3 for 169 bucks

and when you got the email that Samsung was going to disable it you should have signed out of your Samsung account bc you don't need it to get the phone to work bc you can sign in to your google accounts that's a loophole i figured out how on my own bc I didn't know about it until Samsung sent me the emails bc its gotta be signed in on a Samsung account before they can disable it bc its gotta be log in on Samsungs server i got the email in late December and been using it since i have gotten my z fold 3 and also verzions rom splits the iemi number up as it does on Verizon phones bc on gsm the iemi number is all into one and then Samsung can only disable it when your signed in
they can remote lock it if they don't have Samsung account signed in and i also think its doesn't matter what Samsung account i think it only matters to the one that the phone was bought with but i ain't gonna test it tho i don't want a paperweight

I like how you think. Thanks for the info
I'm pretty sure your EX GF the owner of the phone is the only one Samsung can and will talk to.
If you can still reason with her I think your best bet would be to contact her and try and work something out
its in her best interests other wise it's just going against her credit. Maybe she'll let you take over the phone and payments.
