Where to look for a soft bricked vib for sale - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've been looking for a vibrant for my gf (she has a cliq xt), but I'm trying to figure out where to go to find one. I thought for sure we would have seen some from the kies update as most folks are to antsy to wait for things. Any ideas?

So you are hoping some innocent person soft bricked their vibrant but is too stupid to know that it can be recovered? In turn you hope they sale it on ebay thinking it is a total brick, so you can turn around and purchase it and just Odin it back to life?
wow gotta love 2011, society has really gone down the drain. Everyone trying to pull one on eachother.
What happend to the days where people say hello to strangers in grocery stores, you help out your fellow citizen, and everyone isn't out to get eachother.
Crazy

What if someone has no idea how to fix their phone, they will sell it for half price of a used one instead of throwing it away? Guess it depends how you look at it. Now if they knew someone that asked them to fix it but instead low balled them that would be wrong. BTW I got mine off craigs list for 250 In working order he needed to pay off his contract. Did I screw him or did we help each other out

Lol. Deep breath bud. First to be completely honest I would ask if they know how to fix it (look at some of my other posts here and you should see I am not out there to tape and pillage a great deal. If someone had already bought a new phone and is trying to make a dollar on a phone then yeah I'm going to try to buy it.
Didn't really think something so simple as asking where a spot to buy a phone would turn into a panty ruffle spot. Thanks for the what's and craigslist options I really forget about craigs.

Hands on a Touchpad

Alright fellas, since I have already got 12 of the TP's I will give you all a giant tip. There is one store that has at least 3 in every store I've been too. The price is higher but the do price match and come with a carrying case which best buy TP's don't. Head to your local Aaron's Sales and Lease. Do not tip them off that you want to buy all their stock if you call to check on quantity otherwise they will just say they have one. Aaron's typically will lease these out at $50.00 per month for a year and they like to make money just as much as the next Joe. I personally made the mistake at the first store but learned my lesson after this.
Please do not ruin this for everyone by calling every Aaron's store and telling them you will buy "their stock" and tell them the price drop over the phone as they are oblivious to it at this point. Once the employee learns of the drop in price they will magically end up reserved when in reality they will buy them and sell them. I want to see my awesome devs here on the Evo 3d forums get them before others, hence the post in these forums and not the HP Touchpad forums.
Good luck, and once again call and ask if they have "1" in stock. Drive, walk, fly, and or skip to the store, but do not ask total stock until you are in the store and ask them to price match Best Buy or you will fail (i experienced this in the first store).
My local Aaron's only had 1 in stock and it was used and heading back to a "shop" to get it fixed.
Almost.
Called and they had some coming in but retailed at $899. I assume they price match? Because that is ridiculous. Went ahead and put my name down and figured it is worth a shot at this point.
Unless you are in a small town there should be plenty of stores. I just realized also stores similar to aarons like rent a center may carry them also. It's worth a look.

Sorry this is a dumb question, I called my local Aarons and they have some, so I'm going to head up there when I get a chance to get away from my desk, but I'm confused at how this place works. They charge you monthly if you wanna rent-to-own, but can you buy them flat-out too and they'll price match? So I should be able to bring in a print-out from best buy or hp.com and I'll be able to walk out with one at $149 or $99?
I just called and placed one on hold for tomorrow. Aarons is a rent to own store, correct? They will just let you buy one outright for 99.99? Will they price match even if best buy is out of stock? I always thought they would have to at least be available for the competitor to price match.

Just a warning for you guys. I called three Aaron's around my city (phx, az) and it seems that they have become wise to this price drop and are now bundling them with computers. If your local Aaron's is selling them separate then jump on it!

I found some stores by me that have stock. Some of them are in more "rural" areas and lemme tell you, those people are a fack ton nicer and polite that the dikheads in blue at worstbuy. Very helpful. They def have no idea whats gong on with the fire sale. They said they were out but unloading a truck as we speak and 6 are on it. They are even holding some for me! Hopefully it goes through. The toughest part is going to be price matching. Here are links to online retailers sites if anyone is interested..... (I'm not trying to sell or solicit anything with these links MODS, just posting them as leverage for fellow XDA'ers to use in price matching, no banwagon plox)

Looks like I have a very slim shot the guy from Aaron's says he is getting one in tomorrow. Took my name said he would call then it shows up. He said they would price match. Sounds too good to be true.

Ps: Ty, I pmed you
I am heading to my local aarons in a little while. I will report back with results. They have six in stock. They are holding one for me. I didn't mention anything about price or matching price on phone as I thought that would mess it up.

I think you got lucky with the employee you spoke with. When I called the woman I spoke to was trying to get all my info over the phone to start a contract on the touchpad. She seemed kind of aggressive. I hope she doesn't give me a hard time. I just want to purchase one, not all.

My Galaxy S II took a faceplant :(

I'm officially a Go Phone carrier now. My phone off the bed this morning and face planted right on my tiled floor. LCD is demolished, glass perfectly in tact. Man it sucks so bad. iPhone 4 is off at the shop having it's battery terminal soldered back on and I really wanted to use my GS 2 but the LCD is like 150 bucks.
Anyone had any luck with AT&T giving a one time warranty replacement for issues like this?
That's why I get insurance for the phone

With the deductible being $150, I really saw no point. I can't afford to shell out that much every time something goes wrong with my phone.

I'm not going to. Not just yet. I'm about to graduate from college so I'm hoping I can score some cash to get it fixed from that or hopefully i'll get a job sooner or later.
The deductible is $199
Suck man. Same thing happened to my Captivate. The SGS2 came out 2 days later thankfully.
Maybe you have an upgrade lying around somewhere and can get a skyrocket for 199?
If I were you, id be hunting around for someone who broke just the touch layer and is wanting to part with their paperweight. Also, I was under the impression that AMOLED's are on a metal plate or some such, not a glass screen like an LCD? maybe I'm wrong?
Save up and just buy a replacement screen.

They're bonded digitizer and lcd like the iPhone 4/4s. So no way to replace the one without the other.

You could check out MobileTechVideos for help. The owner, Josh, has a profile on XDA I believe. He can replace a lot of stuff. Maybe he can help! I can't post links yet but just google it.
Samsung screens are super easy to replace. Just really expensive.

What kind of credit card did you purchase it with? Some cards (american express comes to mind) offer like... 60 or 90 days of accidental damage/theft protection for purchases made on it. So check with your credit card company.

Note may not be new

I bought my note outright from best buy and noticed has doodles and pics of customers and employees.
I didn't know.i was paying fall price for what could possibly be a display model.
What should i do? Can I get a discount?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Take it back and get a new one. They either sold you a floor model or one that has been opened by the guys in back. Of course once you're out the door they could say it was you that did all those things...are there any photos of people in the BB stock room or anything that are obvious? Or demand a discount since you got a used item. I would be furious if I paid full price for something that other people had been pawing at for who knows how long.
Also, after this is resolved, if you're still using the same device, hard-reset it and start fresh. Who knows what free apps and malware may be installed on it. Obviously don't do that first or you'll destroy the evidence that the phone was used.
I looked at the photo details and they're from February. I didn't buy the phone until march 10.
Only thing keeping me from taking it back is i dinto want to simply unlock it again.

I'm sure they'll exchange it for you, but if you don't want to unlock it, you could (depending on how much of a negotiator you are) go back and see if they'll knock a few bucks back to you... Clearly the phone was either a demo or used in some way, even if briefly. Keep the photos on there if you want to prove it was as you say.

I dropped my Note

So to make a long story short my note fell out of my pocket today while I was helping out at a fundraiser car wash. No major damage done but just a small nick and scratch on the top right corner on the screen and outside. The actual functionality of the phone is fine and I can probably live with it but this small damage is going to eat away at me. So I want to know if I call att and complain about something wrong with my phone will they replace it? I have ensquared insurance and I don't want to use my $75 deductible yet.
And I've had the phone for over 30 days too

That's what sucks, I had the portfolio case on it because it was a gift, but I've been holding out for an otterbox case because I have a $50 coupon.
I think I might take the plunge because with my Atrix I had a legit issue that couldn't always duplicate but the speaker part was dented plus was unlocked and I was able to swap phones

First of all I was heading up the car wash to raise money for kids to go to a summer camp. I actually brought my atrix with me to swap sim cards but I left it in my car parked across the street. While running across the street it feel out of my pocket. Big picture I am grateful that no major damage was done but also that we all should be mindful how big this phone is and how easy it is to forget. Either way I've decided to just ride it out because any case that wraps around the phone will cover it up.

I cracked my screen I believe by sittiing on on it while in my back pocket. I called Samsung and they would replace the screen fro $197.00. Since I have a Square Trade warranty, I caledl and they could not fix the display so they gave me the full cost to replace it minus $49 decuctible.

[Q] Cracked Screen

Hey guys, so i am probably the first to crack this screen ..fell out of my pocket getting out my car....nearly cried...screen unresponsive except a 1x1 inch area... I think phone works okay otherwise from what i can seee
No insurance obviously why im posting... Does anyome have any experience sending back to lg to get it repaired? I got a quote from a place in chinatown ny for 200... And lg wont quote me until i send it in...was wondering what others have done or recomendations.... I have an upgrade on my plan i can steal so i can also sell the phone ebay...but not suring how well that would go.....
What ya'll think?
Dunno, what version is it? Maybe you can make a dev very happy with it, if you give up on it.
Selling it for parts might only work later in its life cycle

If you got some spare time and nifty fingers you could wait for replacement screens to be sold. Or maybe use it as a htpc or something.
I have insurance with T-Mobile because I just joined them and their Jump program includes it but when I was with Sprint my ex broke her S3 and we had no insurance, I just called them up and asked for it on the phone and they added it and then I waited a few days and put in my claim and got a new phone after paying deductible. So give it a shot and call and ask to add insurance, maybe you'll get lucky.
List it on eBay you will be shocked as to what you will get for it.

Add the insurance if you don't have it. You have 30 days to do it and the phone hasn't even been out that long so you can definitely add it. Wait a couple days and make a claim. It'll cost you $199 on most carriers, maybe all of them, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new one. And if you want to keep the old one for some reason or donate it to a dev somewhere as suggested earlier then report it as lost or stolen. You won't be able to use it on any carriers but for development or WiFi functions you could still use it up to you.

my octopus box will make short work of the imei lol
It might be difficult to replaced the screen yourself. I remember reading somewhere that LG fused the LCD screen and glass together to make the display clearer.

thanks for all the replies, i actually tried adding the insurance but made the extremely dumb move in filing the claim the same day cause i was really anxious about it and had to switch to my old gnex cause i needed a phone...
LG quoted me for replacement anywhere from 100-180 not including shipping it to them...but i have 2 extra upgrades available so i think im gonna try to sell it on ebay and use that money to buy the replacement....
if all fails i would be happy to give it to dev team, better than a paper weight here..
gonna def get a case and screen protector for next phone....
