I'm thinking I might be forced to sell my HTC Thunderbolt. Right now I am running the latest BAMF 2.1, and my question is, can I sell my phone and be able to meet someone at a Verizon Wireless and have the rooted Gingerbread Tbolt activated to whoever the buyer will be? Or do I need to flash back to bone stock unrooted 2.2? I'm hoping to leave it as is and just do a data wipe so that perhaps mine will have a little bit of an edge over the other phones I'm seeing posted now. I hate to sell it but times are tough. Thanks for any advice! -Phil
Most of the phones I have sold I have left rooted

Cool, well I guess its worth a shot... I guess I'm overthinking it but I was concerned about reactivating the phone if it is on the GB radio and running a completely un-factory rom... Paranoia I guess

To be honest most reps who set it up won't even notice and if they just do the *228 the computer system won't even be able to tell I used to work at Verizon and did this all the time

I'd leave it as is, custom rom & all. Whoever buys it will most likely appreciate it. If they've had a rooted HTC before, they can figure out how to swap roms/radios.

Just wanting to get a FYI. I may by default try for a replacement before my 1 year is over. Whats the process I should go through in order to make sure its a valid replacement.
What ROM should I go recover to?
What process should i go through to unroot?
Is there anything else i should make sure is done before I send in my phone after getting replacement?
All help is much appreciated.
Do you have phone insurance?

Unless you have insurance and there is a major problem with you phone Tmo isn't going to replace your phone.
Unrooting is easy its basically typing in a few commands to unroot it or you can do it via OCLF
As far as putting the stock rom back in place you can use ODIN
T-Mo is very inconsistent. If you call one time, you can get someone that is Super Rep and will go by the book and make it hard to get a replacement. If you call again, you can end up talking to someone who just sends you a new one no questions asked.
I've had 4 vibrants since july, and have swapped them all at my t-mo store. Theyre not supposed to do that, but they do, sometimes you just gotta ask nicely and look like a victim.
Uh how have you gone thru 4 vibrants....crazy

Someone at tmo isnt doing their job. After the 3rd exchange within 3 months they are supposed to force you into a different model phone, and release you from your contract in case you want to leave them.
Because after 3 exchanges, you're costing them more money than you're worth to them.

Okay, I was trying to get some clarification here. My wife has the Evo 4G and is eligible for an upgrade. I have the 3D, and we both love the hell out of our phones. One of my very closest friends has Sprint, and wants the iPhone 4S but is not upgrade eligible. Would it be possible to upgrade to the 4S online, and when the phone arrives not activate it, and sell it to my friend for the price that I had paid for it? My wife and I have no interest in an iPhone and I am not looking to make money, I am just looking to help out a good friend, and we don't care if we lose the upgrades, we are very happy with our current phones.
Any clarification if this is legal, or possible would be great. I don't want to do anything that could be considered illegal, etc. Thanks!
U can do it. Nothing wrong with it but they will activate it on ur line and then u have to take it off. That is if u get it from the store. Ive done this 2 times.

If you don't activate it first, they may require you to have it released from your line. Its just a simple call to CS asking them to release it. Also, be aware they may charge you the $36 activation fee after getting the phone and then charge him again when activating it. This may be the case if you don't activate it first. Be sure you guys don't get double charged, they have been doing this alot lately.

You still have HTC's Warranty, as for Verizon.. A store Visit they won't really bother going as deep as checking the bootloader... A mail in to Verizon they would notice once they try to Debug it before selling it off as Refurbished and sending you another
But DO they check and debug that deeply. Going to a store is really just not an option for me and I don't want to be stuck with a defective phone if I can't get it replaced and its a hardware problem.
EDIT: Also, what does HTC's warentee cover vs. Verizon's?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
HTC claims they will cover all HW issues NOT related to unlocked bootloaders. Verizon is kinda up in the air. I can say plenty of people have said that they have sent multiple phones back to Verizon while still rooted and s-offed, so not just the rezound and have never been charged.

In all reality it comes down to the individual person at Verizon who checks the phone... Somebody might load up the Bootloader and See "Unlocked" and all hell breaks loose... Or some dude might just ignore it and flash a Factory Locked Bootloader and move on..
As for Warranty IDK.... Check the manuals that came with the phone
So, here's the better question, has anyone here actually been slapped with a fine for returning an unlocked bootloader?

So last Friday i went to my local att store with the full intention of getting the Note but naturally i wanted to try having some fun with the reps. I told them i was wanting a new phone and then asked them what is the best phone. Turns out the iphone 4s is the best. When i asked why i was told it has siri and a retina display. (no one there could tell me why the retina display was so amazing) At that point i decided not to attempt to troll them as it would have been pointless. Fast forward and im at the checkout buying the Note. While checking out the rep tells me how the phone has a 1080p screen. At this point i couldn't help myself i asked if it was better than the iphones retina..short anwser no it is not. Anyways im now a proud owner of the only 1080p galaxy note. lol

Best part was when i was walking out someone was complaining to the rep about being throttled. I noticed he had the infuse and after the rep told him they couldn't do anything about it i made it a point to tell him how to fix it. Once again the rep told the man what i was saying wouldnt work and against the tos. Needless to say he is no longer throttled lol.

I was at a corporate one. I don't mean to sound like an ass i just think its funny. To be honest if i worked there i would recommend iphones and act ignorant of cell phone tech. The vast majority of people would just get confused otherwise. When people get confused they feel dumb and when they feel dumb they get offended and end up leaving and making their purchase elsewhere.

AT&T corporate store employees make more on iPhones, indirect agents (authorized retailers) make nothing on iPhone sales.. not even the data plans. So it really depends what type of store you're in. Personally I enjoy when someone knows the tech they're talking about. Although it is quite funny watching people try to convince me the iPhone is better than everything else.

You have some more research to do. The skyrocket & note are unique in this way.
Just remember that for most people that work at those places they could give a **** about most everything there, they are just trying to do their job. Those stores have high turnaround in alot of cases and employees aren't required to know everything about devices.
And technically going by ppi the 4S is better. He couldn't tell you why though. And i would rather have the Notes screen that the tiny iPhone any day.

First I would like to thank all the DEV's for all the great things you have done for many, many phones over the years. Second I see a lot of people getting pissy over the 2.04 FW for the DNA. I updated before getting the unlock.bin, I was a day late and a buck short on finding out I could not unlock the new bootloader, whose fault was that? Mine and mine alone. I bought this phone in the first place because I liked the specs and kinda figured XDA would have it figured out, and you did. I have always appreciated everything XDA has brought to the table for me since hmm since a boatload of phones ago, I did then and do now. Some people here need to be reminded that you guys put in a lot of hours and work for the mods and write ups you bring us on your own free will and most likely are not making a ton of money for doing it.
If you guys are working on it then great and thank you, if you think it's time to move on to a new project and those of us that updated are SOL then I DO NOT hold it against you or take it personally and still thank you for all the great work you have done thus far.
Thanks,
Shane

These devs just happen to have some know how and willingly spend (a lot of) their own time working on tweaking things. Then they're nice enough to share that work with the world, often asking for nothing more than sharing their work and credit where it's due.
And I know of a few who are doing that... I understand who your are speaking to and I agree.
I'm just saying it's understandable that they're upset. Me, I traded it knowing I'm gonna have to wait and am trying not to cry about it. It may get cracked or maybe not, still a great phone!

Says the guy who is probably rooted? Haha.. what if you bust your phone and they send you an updated phone and ur screwed?
Why don't u mind your own business. If you don't have anything productive to say, please move on.
Is that too much, Moderator? Or is it true? I'm tired of hearing people who are probably rooted, run their mouth.

I'm not rooted, I was then bricked doing something, hard bricked, got a phone sent to me with the rootable FW BUT I did the update before I unlocked. MY bad. I would love it if the DEVs figure this out and make it so people like me and who ever else can root again. If not I read some where I can send it in to get JTAGGED or I could always look for a non updated DNA or just wait and buy the HTC ONE, but I really love the DNA, I would love it alittle more if I could do a few more things that a rooted DNA lets me do.

Any word if sending it to someone to be jtagged is actually an option? My DNA is my spare device, so I could definitely send it off for a while.

All the info is there. Is your spare DNA upgraded to the 2.04 FW? If no then you do not need to send it away.
If you do this would you keep us updated please. I have a spare phone I could use for awhile if I take that route.

Yeah a store rep took the ota right in front of me after he gave me a new sim.. Was pissed. Definitely looking into this. Everyone feel like this is legit and think they won't just keep my phone? Haha
Edit :
I just reached out to him on twitter. If it's reasonably priced, I'll take the dive.

I don't think this is a keep your phone scam. I fix and build PC's on the side and I have strangers give me laptops, desktop, ipods, phones, and other junk all the time to be fixed. And when something needs parts they give me credit card numbers. Maybe they can send you some sort of email contract or receipt or something.
Yeah after wagching the video and reading through twitter a bit, it seems legit. I'm definitely going to send it in if the price makes sense.
