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

Considering *228 doesn't work on this phone they probably won't notice at all.

I'd try to get a few extra bucks out of it rooted. I mean in the city they sell "unlocked" phones and what not for more than sticker price.

Lol. The ones I've talked to. Don't know much about the devices they sell. They've seen launcher pro on my X when I had it and didn't know what to make of it. Didn't want to help me cuz that was the reason my phone was acting funny

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.

Thats a striking contradiction. You wanted to be rid of your Epic, but you are gonna get an Epic 2?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Why buy a used one? With all the discounts and offers available at Sprint, just about anyone can get one for $50... many times FREE. Are you concerned about the contract?
Mike
Wellllll, first order of business, not a troll thread. I am genuinely interested. Secondly, I can't get any other offers because I only qualify for the $75 off credit on Sep 1st. I also have the Epic, it is breaking and so instead of paying the cash for insurance I would rather put it towards the 3d, which I want... I will look on craigslist and elsewhere. I just would rather buy from xda member because I feel like I could trust that the phone was taken care of. Thanks for all the replies.
There are 3 for sale in the market I believe
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Do what I did. Add a new line, trade in your epic and get the 3d at the discount price minus the trade in. Then put the new line on seasonal hold. They kinda of goofed mine up and I think took the new line off ha-ha.
I got a 3d for 50 bucks and I'll be paying like 100 or 150 to have the line taken off if it does show up on my act.
Radio shack was offering a trade in, was to be 100 dollars but hey gave me 165 for ny EVO shift.

Epic 2???? Let me put it a different way. Wanted to be rid of the extra bulk of the physical keyboard which I never use and to have a slightly larger screen. Also something a bit faster. After getting the 3d, I actually love it, but I still may use the upgrade for the gs2.

So when I upgraded to my 3Devo ok launch day I got my full $150 off, and I noticed the next day my account still said eligible for $150 off new phone. Figured it was just playing catch up, but today I looked and its still there! I guess come september I will be dual wielding my 3vo and my GS2

+1. You should use your upgrade on a phone that isn't slight better (or worse) than the EVO 3D. I know I would wait for the prime or possibly the quadcore phones of next year , if that's the way android is going lol. But you can do whatever you want with your upgrade.

I was a brand new customer in Feb. I got the white og evo. First time I logged in it told me I was upgrade eligible.
I figured they would catch it but they never did. When the 3d came out I figured id better snatch it up just in case they did eventually figure it out.
I wanted to try to hold off for the nexus prime, but figured I better jump on the 3d rather than possibly nothing. Then I sold my og on Ebay for 235 since it was rooted. Took my extra cash and got an otter box.
The guy @ my sprint store said he sees people who got lucky like that more often than you'd think.

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
Yes, I agree totally.
And would only like to make it known that I'd be willing pony up the donation to make it possible for us too. As I would hope many others would also...?

People need to realize that a lot of these guys have families or are in school and do this for fun. One guy had posted up that he was super sick and wasnt gonna be doing much and people still blew the thread up asking when he was going to work on it again. What these guys do is great and it is leaps and bounds more amazing than the iOS community I came from. (Prior iphone owner).

I'm sure that's EXACTLY how the devs feel. </sarcasm>
While normally I might agree with you, so what, this is just a general forum, and there a still plenty of people who need to realize that these devs are random people just like them. 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!

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.

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.

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.

From my understanding of the conversation I had with them at the store giving back your phone is an option but it's not mandatory! I think they will give you an additional discount if you trade in your old phone.

It turns out you can't do that. I went in yesterday and asked a lot of questions. It has to be the device you are currently paying off, as they charge differently for the phones now. You pay it off monthly, with the cost split over 2yrs/24months, around 25$. Then, after a year, you can trade it in, and they zero out the payments, and you start over with a new 'non-contract'.
What I don't like is they are going to start having tiered data plans. I told dude that I like the unlimited data, will I keep it? He said, yes, but said they sell smaller data packages now. Which, by default, makes unlimited more expensive. What a joke!
Bill is gonna go up. The 3 lines I pay for now are 149$ ish on paper, about 190 after taxes. To keep same level of service, on paper would be 240ish, god knows what after taxes. P1ssed off.
If anyone knows differently, please correct me, but this was my understanding after talking with a rep for about 30min.

Does anyone else think the new "Framily plan" is needlessly convoluted?
I mean why get rid of the One Up program?
I won't use either but I was reading over the "Framily plan" and I just tend to think it's gonna be a bust for Sprint. It's going to be hard to manage and most people are going to have a difficult time understanding the details of it.
