its a shame everytime i start a new thread, its usually about mishaps. i have only been lucky with my still kicking HTC TYTN. i luv and respect u a lot. anyway, just paid £300 for a brand new Ameo(HTC ADVANTAGE) yesterday. and just this morning, its been BARRED. tried ringing the seller, but i guess he know he pulled a fast one and his phone number is unreachable. i love the handset still. if anyone is interested in buying pls PM me. never buy a phone off anyone on gumtree. there are all dodgy.Tmobile Customer service has been quite helpful and they did say the will be waiting for the man to make an insurance claim before they deal with him.its a shame they wouldnt gimme back my money. i am guessing this phone wouldnt work in UK.
take out the sim and then change the imei number then put a different sim back in. it should would work

That won't work, the Ameo uses completely unsupported hardware unless I'm mistaken. I hate scumbags like that and I'm sorry to hear of your plight.
My Ameo's on Ebay if you wanna buy a cheap one with extras.

Your phone CAN be unblocked by T-Mobile by authority of the owner, so it might be worth coaxing them into putting pressure on this tosser.
[email protected] is your best port of call.
EDIT:
YOU might not be aware, but despite its blocked status you can still use the handset for Internet browsing. Blocked phones are only blocked against using voicecall/SMS functionality.
i think i just bidded on yours.. that is if its on ebay. So, vodafone texts work, and internet works? just calls that dont?
rory

yeap, its the same handset. you can only send txt with Vodafone but not receive. if you make a good sensible offer, i wouldn't mind ending the auction early for you. the only reason i am giving you preference is because we both belong to the same forum. like state b4, it wouldn't make or receive phone calls.
220? or wait til' the auction ends
for £255, we have a deal. its been unlocked with Olipro thingy and its got the official wm6 tmobile rom on it. its ur call mate. am already losing money on it if i sell it for £255. out of curiosity, how do you intend to pay?

Here's Hopin and will post news
Cheap EBAY car charger from Bargaincell.com fried the charging circuit/sync/USB connnector on my brand new 8525. The guy tells me he won't do anything about damages, so I'm stuck needing a replacement motherboard. Other than this my device is in perfect condition, so I'm not looking to part it out either.
If you have an operational motherboard, Please email me at:

THANKS!
Have you tried putting the phone in for warranty?
Well, I got the phone 2nd hand off of ebay (No Warranty). Shortly there after, another ebay product killed it. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1443395&postcount=22
I would still try and get it replaced through AT&T. I bought my 8525 through eBay and had an issue with it and AT&T still replaced it under the manufactures warranty for me. I've done it numerous times with phones over the years. The number you should call is 1-800-801-1101. It's definitely worth a shot...
Hmmm... I suppose the worst thing they can tell me is "no"...
I'll be damned... I didn't think that would work... A replacement is on the way! Thanks for the idea, TheBrit and ahfunaki!!
No problem, glad to have saved you some time and money...
And the nice thing is too, the phone you'll receive basically is brand new...
Bah... Cingular/ATT sent me a unit with the White screen issue. right out of the box... *sigh* A replacement for the replacement is on the way...

Or charge you for the new phone after they determine the damage wasnt due to a defect. You gotta be careful as they try to find anthing to make your fault. I got a couple boards if interested
LOL Just called them again tonight... Time for the replacement for the replacement for the replacement . The rep tried to talk me into taking a different model in exchange. "Sir, since you've had the trouble with that model, how about a different model instead? A Blackberry 7100, perhaps?" LOL. He didn't seem too surprised that I asked about the Tilt, and it seemed like he checked stock and said that there was none so far. We'll see what happens.
omg.....really>? if i would of known this i wouldnt of opened my phone and voided it....do you guys think that they will accept it?? i got my 8525 from ebay
to ahfunaki:
Can you write all procedure step by step, because I don’t live in USA but I have couple friends in USA with ATT account? I can ask for help but their don’t realize how to do it, because I was send my device couple weeks ago but in ATT local store refuse to help because of ebay purchase. A can call to ATT via skype and organize everything.
Sorry for my poor English.
Hi all, Im new to this Forum, I have a real problem I bought an HTC HD2 phone from the local free ads paper the man who I bought it off delivered it to my house face to face I give him £200 cash its brand new. It was working perfect for 5days now I think its been Blacklisted, I live in the UK and its illegal to change IMEI numbers here I dont want to do it as I do not want to be in trouble the number that was advertised in the free ads is no longer vaild, it dont ring so I cant get hold of this man. I just want to get my £200 back
Any advice will be great I dont want to contact the police becuase I dont know where this person live and they will surly take the phone off me and I will defo be down £200.
Ive listed it on ebay anyone who wants the link can contact me on msn. My question is that it if I sell it to someone who lives in the USA will the phone work for them as a friend told me it will becuase this phone is only blocked in the UK.
I really like this phone to and im real gutted whats happend to me any help or advice would be great . Thank you all for viewing my post and I hope to here some solutions to this problem
ok i bought a samsung galaxy s2 from gumtree(online advertisments) phoned up met the guy at his work(so called) payed 300 cash anyway 6 weeks later i cant make calls or send texts only use web. i phoned up my network they said imei is black listed. i seen him take a three network sim out so i phoned them they said the phone belongs to three but and its not registerd to anyone so they might beable to unblock for me anyway no luck they said the person was on an 02 contract with this phone so phone them i phoned o2 they said no were not unblocking it plane and simple.
so what options do i have?? i have the guys number but it goes strate to answer message is ther away round this problem. or am i pretty much fcked
if anyone can help or advice me a solution would be really gratefull i have made
Its blocked any method of unblocking IMEI is up to the contract holder /network .
You are in effect at the mercy of the seller who looks to have defaulted on his phone contract and sold the phone to you .The network has blocked the IMEI until the balance of the contract is paid off .
Any methods of faking an IMEI would be illegal and this board does not deal in illegal stuff .
You can use the phone as is no phone no internet or sell it for spares .

I think you may have to report him to the police as he carrying out insurance fraud. Basically that's what he has done.

I agree, but it would be your word against his, unless you have some type of paperwork, like a receipt.....
If you don't have a receipt, then the only leverage you have is the guys phone number, so phone records should show that you guys were in contact.....
Scumtree is full of scammers, and although I bought mine of there I made sure it I bought one that was sim free or PayNgo. Luckily an old mate advertised his that was bought on O2 PaynGo for £450, and although he advertised it at £350 I managed to bag it for £280
Scumtree is owned by Ebay BTW.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, first time poster here.
In December I purchased a nexus5 off of some guy that was selling one in my local area. He seemed like a good guy, the phone was in the original box and I was pumped at getting one for a bit cheaper than they are on the play store. Although this last week it randomly could not connect to the network, so I called Telus (my Canadian provider) and after a half hour of troubleshooting they told me that the IMEI is blacklisted as a lost or stolen device? I feel pretty ripped off and disappointed. I found the guys email that I brought it from and tried to contact him but he wont answer his phone, texts, or email. So I don't know what to do? Am I just screwed and forced to buy a new phone? is there anyway I can change the IMIE address? Or anything that anyone can recommend I should attempt to do? Thanks in advance for any help that can be supplied!
Always check before buying. If it is stolen (instead of lost) then you should turn it in to the police. But there is no way to tell and the provider will never tell you which.
It also isn't unheard of for a telco to incorrectly block a phone. I'd try arguing your case since you used it for a month before they shut you down.

Thanks for the input. Who would I contact about arguing it? I talked to someone at Telus for a good half an hour, and they just told me that they have no control blacklisting the IMEI. They would if say i was under contract and I didnt pay my bill. But I am off contract and just put their SIM in my unlocked device. The person told me that say for example if the phone was stolen from BestBuy in novemeber, it could have worked this entire time because it took bestbuy this long for them to put the numbers in there system, and it finally just caught up with me. And also, my SIM works in my friends nexus4, so it doesnt have anything to do with Telus, its an issue with the phone not getting access to the towers. And if it is blacklisted on the national list for being lost or stolen it wont work on any of the carriers in the country... So i dont know what to do
