Trading in Rooted EVO? - HTC EVO 3D

Hi everyone! I will be trading in my EVO 4G at Radioshack on Friday and I was just wondering if I should unroot or not. I don't think it will be an issue but I want to know what everyone else is doing who is trading in their rooted EVO. Thanks for all your help!

I can confirm this as well. If you are trading it in at radioshack.....the store rep said all they care about is if it powers on and works. They give the phones to to battered women I was told.
But if you trading it in to Sprint I would likely unroot the phone and flash back to stock.

i unrooted mine just in case they do check for that. Trading mine thru sprint. Sprint gives 150 n RS gives 100 trade credit fyi

Does no one else think they can do better on eBay? I listed my rooted evo to start @ 150 w/ a buy it now of 250 as soon as I bought my 3d at 12:30am ET and I have two watchers and over 20 views.... I know that means nothing really, but it shows interest...
.........at 8 am today someone poisons the coffee....do not drink the coffee. More instructions will follow.
Cordially,

I took my Evo into a Sprint store for them to check out and tell me how much my trade in would be worth. I was running CM7 and gave it to the guy. He took it in the back for a few minutes. Came back and said it would be $150, but said I should probably flash to stock. I said "oh yea, of course" and grinned. Ended up selling on Craigslist for $200. Currently using a ****ty BB 8530. Tomorrow cannot come soon enough

Does anyone have some instructions on the best way to unroot?

I sold my year old rooted Evo 4G on eBay for $250 a week ago. You're getting ripped off big time if you give it to radioShack for $100.

Yeah I would agree it is definitely worth it to sell it on ebay, I put my 9 month old Evo on ebay with a buy it now price of $250 and it was sold within a day, I did unroot it though, this is the method I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141&highlight=unroot

Pre Order At Best Buy

It official, Best Buy is taking pre orders I called my Best Buy and they confirmed. This is going unannounced for now according to a Best Buy letter. Here is the link.

From my Gingerbread Hero.
BB is now my first stop when I get off work.
Still trying to decide between this and NS4G....
It sounds stupid but software wise the nexus will be dominant but Evo's Hardware kills.....
So im not pre ordering till i find out everything is unlocked and isn't encrypted like the boot loader

E3D Is where its at
Finally realized that.
That's what XDA is for right? I think a few devs are moving from Evo to Evo 3D, so there will probably be quite a few stable roms after the release.
As far as a bootloader, maybe someone will crack it? I only hope HTC and Sprint aren't going down that road.
I'm wondering what they are going to want you to put down on it.

I've got $10 gift card to use towards something there! How much is the phone when you pre-order? $200 with 2yr contract?
Sprint is also doing the instant rebate until June 4th, and i think the E3 is comming out on the same day? I guess my safe bet is just to go with Best Buy.

Really??? I only thought that T-Mobile was the only one that did that (at least in Puerto Rico, T-Mobile lets you get any phone and split the total cost in 4 payments that get added to your next 4 billing statements). If Sprint does this, then this is a no-brainer.
Pre Ordered Last Night
Pre ordered my EVO 3D last night from the Best Buy on 23rd and 6th ave in NYC.
The store on 62nd and Broadway hadn't heard about it and were a bit ignorant (told me TMO Nexus S works on any carrier, including Sprint and Verizon. Argued it had GSM and CDMA radio in it...)
The pre order cost me $50, which they put onto a gift card and had me fill out a small paper with name and phone number which they entered into their system.
Also, they didn't check my current sprint account.
Hope that helps anybody curious about the process. Very quick and simple when the store is aware of the EVO 3D pre order!

EVO 3D trade in value?!

Wow, Sprint really nuked their trade-in program. I was considering buying an EVO 4G LTE at full price (I am not up for an upgrade yet) in exchange for trading in my EVO 3D. But they are only giving $90 for the 3D! Wow. I traded in my EVO for $200 when I got the 3D. Did they gut the program?
I also considered Radio Shack. I know that last year they were also taking $200 for the EVO. But they are only offering $13! Insane.
It's valued for $120 at radioshack
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Should've bought your phone from bestbuy. They have the best buyback.
Up to 1 year you can get 40% back from price before carrier discounts (that's $280) and 30% back after one year.
So I'm planning on using my wife's upgrade on the Evo LTE which will be -$200 but then selling the phone back so I get +$280, ending up with $80 of money I can spend on whatever I want.
I basically got $80 for buying the Evo 3D...

When I traded in my OG Evo for the 3D on 7/23/2011, they were giving $150.00 since they were still selling them at the time and were going to sell for the immediate future. Since the Evo 3D is already EOL for Sprint, they really don't need them so they are priced low.
The 3Ds are still selling on Ebay for $150.00+.

$150 is probably what I got, not $200. I am just misremembering.
i can't post links yet, but check the best buy mobile phone page & look up their buy-back program. It looks like you could get around $100 from Best Buy even if you didn't buy it from them originally...

Its better to sell this phone solo than Sprint buyback.
$150 is a decent rate for a stock, great condition 3D,
+$$ with any extra hardware (SD/Cases/MHL).

Just sold my 3D for 150 and that was mint condition. Tried getting 185. People were offering like 100. Had it on craigslist and a few other places for weeks. Had one offer for 150 initially but turned down cause figured I would get more. Should have taken it and saved time. Oh well. 150 was best I could get.

2nd for buying it from Best Buy. Buyback program is quite handy for those who would upgrade often. I can get at least 150 for mine and I've had it since launch.
Feh, I don't get an upgrade until November. Might as well wait for ICS.
I think it's just this phone. It wasn't that big of a hit and the value on it isn't really good. There are Evo 4G's selling on CL around here for just as much as the 3D's are. When I sold mine I wasn't getting any offers more than like $140 or so because that's what everyone else around here was selling em for.

The E4GT is probably going for more than the 3D right now on ebay and stuff. Call Sprint retentions, have them give you an upgrade, sell your sammy and buy the evolte at $200. Make it happen

I am in the same boat as well. I've cracked my second Evo 3D within 2 months of each other. I haven't cracked any of my previous phones over the past 9 years, but I've had bad luck with my 3D lol. I am also about to drop Sprint for Verizon due to coverage at and near my house, basically non-existant. I moved from Hawaii to DC because of being Military and where I am at now sucks big time. I've been here for a while and have tried the airwave thing, but my area sucks in general. I have a Verizon blackberry for work and it always has reception where my Evo and Evo3D does not. Also, has anyone else had this happen to them?

I always do the same thing with every phone. I buy it brand new, then when I can get an upgrade, I sell my phone for the upgrade price of the new phone. Bam, free phones for life.
Selling it to my cousin, its in excellect condition. $150 is fair.
My buyout was more than expected ($165) so it'll be $15 once this week is out.

Sell It
Will sell it. Normally keep a decent phone spare in case phone is stolen/broken, but as wife just got a Galaxy Nexus replacement for her stolen Nexus S, we will keep that instead. I am hoping they come out with another 3D phone in the next couple of years as I quite like the 3D feature

Worst case it goes in the drawer with the rest of my old phones. I have legacy devices all the way back to the Motorola StarTac.
It will be my new TEP or insurance policy.
The rate goes up to $132/year + tax+ $150 deductible. Or every bit of $300 if you exercise the policy.
The first year defects are covered by the manufacture.
I believe the sprint buy back on the evo 3d is $110. Not $280 stated above.
Down time is shorter to activate the 3d. I'm not sure if there is an activation charge. I guess there is.
There always seems to be tear down instructions in the sticky sections.
As usual people probably abused the system. And those of us that played by the rules get screwed.

When I got the 3D last year, I got Best buy insurance, because I got their insurance they offered me a buy back which I had to purchase. So I paid them 30 last year to buy my 3D for 280. They won't give you that much if don't have their buy back.

Getting my EVO on Sat, Sept 1...Where should I purchase?

It's been a long grueling last year with my OG Evo and it's time to part ways. I've always been and HTC supporter and I will continue to support their product. I will be getting an EVO LTE but paying the full $199 just seems outlandish especially now that ATT and T-Mobile dropped the One X to $99.99. I have some other options rather than buying directly from Sprint but I wanted to know other people's experience. Radioshack and Wirefly will ship one to my house, FedEx next day (which means I wouldn't get it till Tuesday), for $149.99 even. I was wanting to know any drawbacks to purchasing from these two providers rather than going through Sprint. I do have full insurance through Asurion so accidental damage isn't my concern but more of what happens if there is a manufactures defect? Also, anybody heard any news of Sprint reducing the price so they can compete? I would hate to pay $199 and then have Sprint drop it to $99 in the next month or so.
I could also go to Best Buy and get it for $149.99. I think this is going to be my first option considering my patience with my OG is running really thin. I am also selling my great condition OG with a ton of stuff so if anyone want to shoot me an offer, I would definitely think about it before posting on eBay.
It's too bad you didn't get it last week bestbuy had it for $99 for a week. I just got mine this pay Friday paid $104 out the door

I would check the price on Amazon wireless last I heard it was $99 and that would be worth waiting a few days to save $50-100.

I got my 4G LTE at Best Buy Mobile two days ago for $107 tax included.

Should check amazon, got my phone a week ago for 0.01 and free activation don't know if they still doing it though. Got told it'd be on for a couple of weeks.

Ya I just checked and it is only for brand new lines. I need to upgrade so it would be $99 which isn't bad. I may just have to do that. I may walk in to best buy and see if they will honor last weeks price because I'm technically not eligible until Sept 1st and I've tried everything to get my date pushed up. Once again I am upgrading and not starting a new line or contract. The prices vary drastically.
Amazon wireless will have the best deal. No tax.

I think that the most important part for you is to get evo with 1.12 hboot. If you go to the big stores or sprint corporate store you may not find it. You need to go to small stores that sell sprint phones, that way you may get lucky.

Yah absolutely. The problem is small stores that sell Sprint have to abide by Sprint's pricing. I fell like if I order one online, it will come boxed and I can do whatever from there. I'm sure there will be a LazyPanda updated for 1.15 but who knows when. Having radio S-OFF isn't the biggest deal to me as long as I can get root. It sucks not being able to sideload firmware but what are you going to do about HTC and their bootloaders. I think I'm going to go through Amazon. It seems to be the only place to get the upgrade price of $99.99.

So get a new line and shutdown the old one. You'll get it for $99 then.

I'm on a family plan. How does that actually work? Would I have to get a new number?

Yes to a new number. Sucks a little but saves some money.

If you have a Sam's Club membership, it's $98.
