I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but can I legally sell a rooted nook tablet on ebay? I don't think I need it anymore, and I think I can get more money out of it if I sell it rooted.
Yes, you can sell a rooted nook. You could even take a paint brush and paint white and black bumble stripes while praying over it and selling it as a "rooted blessed bumble bee nook". It's yours fully, you are free to mod and sell for same price, profit or even a loss...
By the way, how much are you asking for it? Does it have CWM?
Sell It.
Absolutely.
Ebay doesn't discriminate against rooted tablets.
And for now, it is not illegal to root your android equipment or jailbreak your iDevice.

Nope, its just rooted and has homecatcher. Basically I just followed indirect's thread from a few months ago. I actually got a micro sd card stuck upside down in the slot, so now it just kind of pisses me off because I can't get it out. I think I can get like $200 out of it still though. Maybe.

If the stuck SD card is the reason you're selling, don't, haha. You can take the back of the device off completely and have easier access to retrieving the SD card.
In this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423009, you will see detailed pictures of getting the device taken apart.

Guys, I have my rooted Eris for sale. Just got a Droid Incredible, so I don't need it anymore. Nothing wrong with it, overclocks to 710 just fine. Any questions?

How would I pay for this if I don't have paypal. I'm a dev on here, I have 2 ROMS out and just recently dropped my phone in the ocean so I really would like to have another Eris but I can't have a paypal account.
google checkout have options to send bills like paypal?
I don't use paypal either so if you want to send me a money order that would work fine
Western Union is always an option or better yet
http://www.usps.com/send/waystosendmail/extraservices/collectondeliveryservice.htm
COD by the US postal service. He does not pay you get it back in the mail.
I'm open to anything. Mailing a money order seems easiest, but makes no difference to me
No offense to you but the only problem with this is he might send the money order and never get the phone. With COD he gets the package at his door before paying and you don't have to worry about him stiffing you.
Very true, again, I'm down with whatever

I think i'm going to have to stick to craigslist. I'm in the Army and as some know, you cannot go very long without some type of contact method or you can get in serious trouble. It was a good idea at the time because it's a really good deal. However, buying a phone from someone on the "mainland" means waiting a while for shipping which is something I don't have enough rank for lol. So sorry if I seem like an a$$ but I think i'm going to just get something on craigslist that way I can get it locally on the island and have it almost instantly. Thanks a lot though man, I really appreciate you willing to work with me on it! Now let's hope this tsunami doesn't sweep me and my family out to the ocean! LOL
Don't sweat it, stay safe!
Bump.... this thing is still available. Make me an offer, please!
So is it still available?
So is it still available?
It is not, I sold it
I should have caught this when it came up, but ANY sale of devices belongs in the marketplace.
Well, as luck would have it, I saw a tweet today about being able to go see the transformer prime at select Gamestop locations. There were two in Colorado that were supposed to have them to demo.
I called one of them in Denver, they said they had a display unit and a unit to sale. Well, hop in the car, and now I have an Amethyst Grey 32GB sitting next to me, completely sealed.
I wanted the 64GB version, and I think I will hold for that from Amazon. I'll probably just sell this one on craigslist.
I know I'm very lucky. The first time I've ever had anything like this happen to me.
Pictures of the Prime that I bought can be found here:
http://www.chrisdos.com/transformer_prime/
Congratulations! Hope you"re ready for a flood of "can you try this...." and "does it....." requests!
Gordon
I'm keeping it fully sealed. Gamestop won't let you return it if it's opened.
Thanks for the UPC & SN! I'm off to get my virtual Prime registered!
WAIT A SEC! I JUST FOUND A REBATE! YAY!
Edit: Hey ya OP.. can ya put the receipt back online.. I just wanna make sure you got it fer real..
Edit 2: NVM! Found it in my cache!
Put it on eBay right NOW.
You'll get tons of cash for it

Stuck it on Craigslist. Some of the people on IRC are saying I should take a dump of the rom before I sell it. However, if I open, I can't return it. Decisions, decisions.
Just called a gamestop about 75 miles away from me & they have the 32gb champagne gold one (purple) but i'm thinking i won't ever hardly ever be looking at the back of the thing anyway lol.My Xoom stays in a gel cover or either the folio at all times..so color really shouldnt be a big deal.

Take a dump of the rom. If you are going to sell it the Gamespot "warranty" isnt going to worth much anyways.
I just came from my local gamestop and they had it on display
played with it but they wouldnt sell it to me

Man, you have no idea how lucky you are! Most people on here don't even have PRE-ORDERS for it and you own one... SELL THAT *****!
You are wicked lucky!

Lucky Mofo. If you don't plan on keeping it, smartest move now would be to put it on eBay. I'm sure you could easily get $800 or more for it. Since it's so rare and not even officially out yet. You should contribute by dumping the rom to developers so we could have a nice headstart on developing. The sooner the better and faster we get custom roms, CWM recovery, n over clocking.
Do a system dump dude listen to them then sell it on ebay I'm sure even opened you could still get Atleast 600! Just leave the clear plastic stickers on
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Aftermseeing this thread I called around to local gamestops to see if they had it. They said only the big store ones around here would have it. I found one and they said none in stock yet but they will have it on the 19th. Only thing is he said they only taking pre orders on it so once they come in, they pretty much all will be accounted for. Especially since demand is so high. He said everybody been calling like crazy and going bananas looking for that tablet. I was like I know, it's the first quad core android tablet..LMFAO
Wife won't let me open it to do a rom dump. Shame really.

Hi Mr. highway, my name is Tom and I'm an alcoholic.
What size nook tablet do you have?
What do you like about it?
What hacks have you applied to it, if any?
That's all for now, don't forget to write back or i'll be depressed and have to call the suicide hotline like usual. I think they blocked my number.

Im just the moderator around here, tom.
I don't own the tablet, wouldn't mind owning it though.
Ok, fair enough. I got mine for 125 on craigslist and threw cm7 on it via sd card. Unfortunately I can't really get a stable custom rom on the internal because it's an 8gb model. I really don't like the nook tablets vanilla firmware, it's really ugly and not intuitive.

I will break the metal part from the top, I already ordered a screwdriver and took the whole back portion of my phone apart. I just can't get the sim card out because the battery is in the way.

1. Open back cover from release switch on bottom.
2. Turn off phone and remove battery.
3. Push out SIM card from the bottom end.
4. Profit?
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using Tapatalk 2
its always difficult when your phone is a vi... *cough cough*
the sim card will slide out if you remove the battery. you dont need to open the metal holder that it slides into
Stop messing with me guys, the battery on the amaze is non-removable. Stupid heads. You can't take the battery out of the phone. Everyone knows that. So stop messing with me or else I will cancel my 100 dollar XDA subscription and get you two fired. This isn't acceptable
WillClay, seeing as how this site is primarily volunteers, you cannot get anyone fired as they are not employed. According to HTC's own site, MidnightXZ was correct:
(from HTC's support site):
How do I remove the SIM card or memory card?
With the back cover and battery removed and the phone face-down, pull the SIM card or memory card out of the slot.

This guy actually isn't a troll, he messaged me a little while ago about how to take pictures on the phone, and he told me he is a schizophrenic suffering from demensia and is handicapped, so either he is a troll, or he's seriously disabled. The best thing to do is let him get banned from the site, because nobody can tell if he is legit or just trying to get some giggles out of it
He's a troll check his profile info

I have a Samsung Galaxy III, and I LOVE it, there is only one Problem, it is not eXfat/SDXC compatible, I've heard there are a number of ways to fix this (one person suggested Rooting it, another suggested some sort of unofficial Patch, there were few other suggestion suggestions that I can't remember )
I was wondering if someone could advise me as to what the best option would be and/or point me to a how to guide

AFAIK the only way you can make any modifications is to have root permissions, so you would need to root. All the guides and tuts are in the General thread.

don't worry, I'll stress test them for a few weeks before I start selling them, at this point SDXC micros only go up to 64gb on the "official" market so this is the only way... Want me to let you know when/if they pass the stress test? I'll give you a special deal.
