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.

Unfortunately I am broke as a joke and I need some cash fast...
So I started with a RAZR when it was the buy one get one free. Had 7, Verizon offered me a nexus, had 3 of those. Trade the nexus for a htc rezound and a ps3, had 2 rezounds, traded that for a Droid 4, traded the Droid 4 for a RAZR. Biggest circle every of phones for me! Lol. And I might have a gut that wants my razr for a nexus, but I don't think I'll trade.
Just thought I'd share my trading cycle.

I like it, I've been dealing backups. Flashing them then sending then back out, but not my primary which had ben a droid charge, but verizon now traded that for me by sending me a razr as a retirement. Hope I like it!

I've bought and sold multiple phones on CL without issue. Not everyone on CL is out to cheat you. It's not that difficult to figure out if someone is trying to cheat you either. I've walked away from cheaper prices because I had a bad vibe from someone on CL. Always go with your instinct.

I won't even bother to go into the store, you can check their IMEI# right from VZW website. http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/estore/certifieddevice/cd If they aren't willing to provide the number, I move on to the next one.

Found a girl on Craigslist that is selling me her Galaxy Nexus on Verizon and a Droid Incredible for $175. Amazing deal considering the Nexus is selling for $350-400. And I can get at least $75 for the Incredible.
Now, what to do with the Resound...lol

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Well the rezound has the old larger sim, while the nexus has a micro sim. So unless you have a micro sim with an adapter in your Rezound, I don't think that will work.
It's just easier to be sure by having a Verizon store verify the phone.

Your rezound one won't fit. You need to meet at a vzw store so they can give you a microsim and verify the esn/imei.
I agree with everyone. Either meet at a Verizon store or give them a call to verify whether or not the phone is clean. Craigslist is notorious for scammers.

I'm getting close to saying goodbye to Sprint and sadly my Photon. Going to be making the jump to Big Red here soon, probably to a Galaxy S3. Price points just finally got the best of me. Huge thanks to Joker Bill and the rest of the devs, as well as everyone who has even remotely contributed to how far the Photon has come with the lack of support from Moto. That all being said, anyone have any personal preference or thoughts for android devices on Verizon? Far as I can see its basically the S3 or go home.. i want something new and fresh, with backing here on XDA, and please don't ever mention the word Motorola. NOT going to happen, no more Moto for me.
New and fresh you say? How about the N4? That's what I am going to switch to.

Nexus 4. No it will not. Thats why I am leaving it as soon as my contract is up. Amd getting the Nexus 4 as a secondary phone in the meantime.

Even if this was a great phone, there was no reason to stick to 2.3.5, had to sell it
A Pantech Burst with ICS is far better than the Photon with GB and for 100 bucks, no reason to miss motorola.

I abandoned ship too. My job gave me a Blackberry an unlimited plan that I can tether with, and as long as I keep away from illegal and porn sites, I'm good!

I've had guys ask me to help them setup their DNA and I had taken them under my wing to teach them more advanced things with previous devices.
They got some AMAZING deals on DNAs through eBay and craigslist. So there are deals to be had if you can wait on one of those perfect deals.
One of them bought a Verizon presidents cabinet employee edition for about half what s regular device usually goes for.

I just a week ago purchased a Droid DNA from craigslist for $150!! Brand new in box never opened it was a insanely awesome deal.To be honest I hate it coming from a nexus 4 HTC sense feels way to lagged down for me. If anybody is interested I am planning on selling it listing it on swappa but if anybody is interested in here could work out something. Much rather have this phone go back into the android community rather than selling it to somebody in Asia who is just going to resell it for a higher proffit.
