Ok, so you have now stolen two phones from AT&T to replace the ones you bricked because of laziness and recklessness....got it.

It's "they're," not "there." And I'm sure they're "still making a. . . profit" since the rest of us are paying the price by subsidizing the entitled, cavalier attitudes that people like you represent. Put whatever face you want on it. It's despicable and it's theft. You could at least have the decency not to boast of it here.

When you flashed, you voided your warranty. So, by using you warranty after it was voided, you committed fraud.
Why u all gettin so mad. Do you all work at att. Hows it theft. The damn phone stopped working and he is using warranty. Isnt that why he is paying.

The damn phone stopped working because of his damn recklessness. The phone didn't break; rather he broke it.
Also, you mention paying...paying what? We're not talking about insurance here; we're talking about a warranty. You don't pay for a warranty.
This type of reckless and unethical behavior is one of the reasons you see locked bootloaders on devices.
So unfortunately I didn't know that the DNA had lost its capability of being rooted unto after I Sold my old phone. Should I return my phone and get one tat can be easily rooted or should I stay steady in hopes of a new root method, well s-off. Or if I can should I try to put in a insurance claim and get a DNA that maybe hasn't had an ota update?

Good luck with insurance. Got 2 - new in box not referb - DNAs after much *****ing n threatening to bounce within my 2 weeks. And one from Amazon. No luck. The kernel source will be out eventually. Trust me this will be rooted n s-off. Its time at this point. Our devs rock. Without the source, cracking this is like figuring out what makes potato chips when all you have to go on is a finished product. Sometimes u get lucky

Will AT&T warranty services replace my phone for a hardware defect?
I've had my phone since release and the glass is raised on the left. At first it was something I could deal with but it actually seems to be getting worse. I feel it every time I pull down for notifications.
It's been too long to get a replacement from the store I bought it from so I'm wondering if AT&T will help me.

I am pretty sure they will. Call up AT&T and complain about it. They more than likely will send you a replacement unit.

One more time, since it seems it's never clear:
Warranty is for DEFECTS, like the gaps, raised screens, etc.
INSURANCE is for **** that you do to your phone, like a broken screen, liquid damage, fire, theft, etc.
AT&T covers your phone with a 1 year warranty regardless of if you have insurance or not. The insurance extends the warranty past the 1 year though.

I don't think you should do that. You said you called AT&T, but I was told by the repair department that going to a store and reporting your problem would get you a new phone.
That's not always the case. Every time I've gone to the store after the initial return period has expired, I'm told I have to deal with warranty services. In fact I have had sales reps in the store call them for me. Store reps have little to no power unless you are dealing with a store with a repair center on site. There isn't one of those within a hundred miles of me, so I just call warranty services.
Btw. New phone arrived yesterday and it doesn't have any problems.

Absolutely not. Maybe if it's a repair center (which are relatively rare), but outside of those shops all AT&T warranty work is done over the phone.
Ok, so I'm an impatient little bastard and I want to get my phone s-off, but I took the OTA. So, I'm considering "accidentally" dropping my phone in the toilet or bathtub or something, and getting it replaced through the insurance. Here's the only problem: does anyone know if the phone that will come from Asurion will be brand new or "refurbished", and will it already have the OTA preloaded on it, or will it be just a fresh phone with no updates?

ohh damn.... dont do that to the poor phone .... just wait a few days, i sure u will be able to S-off with the new OTA, just give it a few days , this is XDA, everything is possible, but dont do that to your phone man, its a great phone, and dont think u will be getting a new one, THEY ONLY SEND REFURBISHED PHONES... so just keep the one u have...
I'm on the .11 firmware...if I knew more about the intricacies of Android I'd try to find an exploit but as it is, there isn't one and I don't know how long it will be until they find one... otherwise, I do love this phone

i'm not too sure about this. i asked a t-mobile rep on the day i was buying my One about the insurance. he said something about you receiving a one warranty for the software, regardless of what you do with it; but i have no idea about the hardware.
So here is the long story short, I bought a Verizon lg g2 back in November 2013. 4 days ago my phone stopped picking up service after I put my sim back in it from the gs3 (my g2 had died that's why I switched to my gs3). I called Verizon to see what was going on, they told me they didn't know. They asked where did I purchase the phone I told them and then they said that the phone was reported stolen on a fraudulent account. So my Question is is there any place I can sell my phone to try to get something back for it?

You might want to try unlocking it and use another carrier. Who ever sold you was probably doing insurance fraud. But usually when a phone is locked like that its only locked to the carrier. I had a S4 locked for tmobile. I unlocked it and used ATT . couldnt use tmobile no more

Thank you for the tip I just remembered that the Verizon g2 is unlocked default. I'm going to try a friends Tmobile sim and see if it works. I don't know what that person was doing but sounds like that is what they could of been doing because he had a lot of g2 and was selling them cheap. He is still active on swappa too.

I've tried by emailing them and they just suggested to talk to the seller, another swappa mod told me to fill out the required form in order to he helped. I honestly am not satisfied with how swappa treated me and will not be buying from there again.
EDIT: Success! The phone works perfectly on T-Mobile. Calls, SMS & Data even though I was on Edge it worked.

If this guy knowingly sold you a phone he has or had reported stolen then you do have a solid leg to stand on. I would begin with you local law enforcement. IMEI numbers, IP Addresses and subpoenas to devuldge info on the Swappa users account will gain them all the info they need to proceed with filing charges. What's even better is I'm assuming most likely the phone you bought came from out of state so crossing a state line now opens the door for federal statutes. You might be surprised how willing and eager your local law enforcement might be to handle this for you, especially if you have your ducks in a row and necessary info on hand prior to your meeting with them.

Swappa checks all of the IMEI's to make sure they're clean as well, but from what Krazie1 is saying it sounds like the phone he bought was reported after he bought and activated it. Even Verizon would have told him it was clean.

Yah, I'm very well aware that Swappa checks the imei# for each listing. Plus, I understand what krazie1 has stated about the phone being reported stolen. I'm not doubting the phone was reported stolen. I'm just saying that, if you just slip your SIM card into the phone that's not yours I'd feel there's greater risk then if you take it to Verizon. I know I'd have a better chance of having the situation resolved if I took my phone to them. Especially, after it was reported stolen well over thirty days. The part that is unsettling to me is that the phone was new. I sell and buy often on Swappa so I'm not happy to hear about krazie1's situation. The seller has sold over a hundred phones. I feel, if I went to Verizon, I'd keep bugging them because of the situation. If I just slipped my SIM card in then I'd feel like I didn't have a chance. That's just my thoughts.
