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

Basically they are selling iphones way more than any other phone so I am sure some of their inventory is starting to collect dust.

Well this way doesn't involve trading in an EVO 4G.
That 50$ offer is really making me ponder upgrading from my Hero, but can't decide if I want to wait for the GSII Epic Touch to drop in price instead.
Wow supersale.imagine when it first came out.its expensive,they made lots of money like 6months ago.LOL

I have a hero right now, upgrading as soon as I can get the login info for the family account.
Just took advantage of this deal. Hard to beat. Hope the 3D is as good as the hero was. We shall see when it arrives.

I got my 3d for free technically. My local Walmart has it for 98 bucks and at the time (i think theyre still doing this) they are giving 100 dollar gift cards to anyone that gets a smartphone... So basically they paid me 2 bucks to take it off their hands. Being that this is my second one i was scared itd be hboot 1.5 but apparently back home no one buys sprint phones because coverage is spotty at best..... So i ended up getting it with hboot 1.3
And to they guy debating on epic touch or 3d... Id recommend the 3d if you like custom roms. There are a lot more options with roms, kernels, and overclocking with the 3d. I had it and wasnt overly impressed except for the gorgeous display. Damn i love those amoleds.

That is probably exactly why my brother just picked up a 3D for $49.99 from the Sprint Corporate strore here with hboot 1.40!
yeah i had to jump on this offer also. I just couldnt let it pass, I would have kicked myself in the ass.
Don't you have to renew your contract though? I mean it's not like you can just buy the phone for that price without renewing or signing a new contract....?
So looks like Sprint is going to run a lil upgrade promo for 2 months starting next week....
http://www.sprintfeed.com/2012/02/sprint-to-offer-early-upgrade-buyout-program/
Odd timing to do this imho.
Maybe they plan on releasing the nexus phone during this time and want people to buy it?....

so I talked to sprint yesterday. They told me that I could trade my evo3d in and open a new contract for a galaxy nexus and receive 99.00 credit for my evo 3d, and cancel my terms on my 3d for 61 dollars + new contract price of the galaxy nexus being 199 or 299?

I don't believe Sprint reps until what they say happens.
yeah either way, until galaxy nexus is out, I wont really know anything.. I'm getting that phone no matter the situation.

Same here.
when is the nexus supposed to be released on sprint's network?
this sounds like a huge trap... d3rp.
"oh yes i will upgrade early! i have been wanting a SGS2 zomgzorz!!!!"
1 week after this promo is over.... nexus hits shelves... customers who upgraded their plan now have to pay full price if they want another phone within the next year or two.
sneaky bastards. i hate the way they do business.
They are just trying to swindle people into a new contract because most people are waiting for LTE and LTE phones, and will move on if they don't get them soon.
I mean I get the promo as it kinda sorta makes up a little bit on the whole losing of the yearly upgrade gift for Premier gold members when they kicked that program out the door.
BUT that would only be the case if it was a permanent program instead of a temporary one....
Well, I hope this is still around when the Evo 3d successor comes out. New better evo coming this summer? I had og Evo, todays Evo 3d. And eventually ill have the this years Evo. Hopefully this will help me get it.
May use this for the nexus. But I'm only 10 months in.

+1 on that. would be nice to beable to do this anytime.
I won't jump on this as appealing as the Galaxy Nexus is. For one, I know there will be some beast ass phones out in August when my contract expires. Second, Sprint has to prove to me that their network will get that much better with their network speed. I won't believe this whole "network vision" till I see it. They claim they have been making some upgrades to their 3G network already according to their network tower map but I have seen absolutely no increase in speed or coverage. I want to have faith in their LTE network but their current network really has me in doubt.
So unless they REALLY get their **** together I'm switching to Verizon. They have excellent coverage around here and a blazing fast LTE network.
Does this mean we have to trade our evo 3d's into sprint or can we sell them on ebay or whatever and use that cash to pay for the fee and the new phone we get?

No you don't have to.
I would take the early upgrade to a gnexus if lte had been confirmed for my area at all. I will stick with my 3d until lte is available or my contract is up and I have to go somewhere else

Wow the nexus is not that great. It's sammy so I prefer htc anyways but pretty much same specs but no mass storage slot. Def not a flagship imo. I would save up and wait March or July for the quads coming out. Tegra and such. htc has some pretty cool stuff planned. Just be patient. The 3vo is still best in the market hands down.

The great part about the galaxy nexus is that it will always have the latest android updates and you won't have to wait for the manufacturer and carrier to release the update.
I am interested to see what quad core phones come out.

This is pretty much how I feel, The Rezound, the Nexus, and the Note are the only thing that gets my attention, and the Rezound is what interests me, but its just my 3D with a higher res screen and LTE. The Nexus has the a larger screen but the same resolution as the Rezound, still has a 5mp cam like my 3D and is a samsung. The Note is cool except it is AT&T (I know Verizon's coming.) So it comes down to OS. I want asop ICS in one form or another, so thats the selling point. I'd go for a rezound if I had a nice cm9 or such with everything working including LTE, but still I would wish for a larger screen size, since I would feel like I still have my 3D...

One yearly upgrade has been extended to all those affected by change, but only on main line. They have a 20 month cycle for upgrades now. My theory os ir has something to do with iPhone being more available to customers because this change went into effect shortly before launch un September.

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?
