I had my phone for a lil over a month . its was in perfect condition i had it in a case with a screen protector since i day i got it. then i lost it . i will admit i was a lil drunk when i lost it and for the life of me couldnt find it. So I reported it lost and my insurance replaced it. Well last night my girlfriend comes over and tell me look what i found in back of the couch. So now I have 2 Notes . I want to know it the Note I lost is still good will it work? can i sell it and not get introuble. I know what the right thing to do is. I just want to know if there are any other options.
Unlock the IME# and see if it'll take a different SIM card. If so, then just sell it as an unlocked note. Should bring you decent cash.
On second thought... don't. Um... it's rubbish, just mail it to me. I'll um... take... care... of it.
Unlock it and sell it.

How do I make it a poll. That would be cool.
Thanks for the tip. I'll do the same. Lol
you have seen the articles about the carriers getting together to track, lost, and stolen phones, right? The IME number is like a fingerprint. You use that one, or sell it, and they will find out, and probably find you. Be smart, and tell your insurance, or be stupid, and get nailed for fraud.
Sell it for a quick 500 have the phones lost or stolen will take any aim card trust. I i have connected phones I found with no problem just called at& the and told them I purchased on ebay and they got it going

That's paranoid. If they do find it, all they can do is track it to the person using it. Just sell it on craigslist at a random public meeting place and don't tell the buyer any personal info.

what exactly is "unlocked"?
thought you could throw any sim in the phone and it work
when you report lost/stolen they block imei #'s or something?

Unlocked means you can use any sim card. AT&T does not block the IMEI# for whatever reason. I was reading a article about [email protected] being investigated for activating phone that have been reported stolen. I have had phones that i bought for really cheap from people who where kinda shady and im sure they where stolen and t-mobile & AT&T hooked them up with no questions asked.

By the terms of the insurance you are supposed to send it back to them. anything else if f faud and will not be dicussed here
not looking for a fight but wow there are some dishonest d*****bags on xda...
the easy way out is why the world is in the mess it is in...
Hello..
as i post in a thread and some optimitic guys ( thanks for them) they just blocked any hope for me to fix my galaxy note which i think it is bricked...
( the story goes when i flashed a ROM and when i rebooted it stopped responding totally to anything )...
i searched at the internet about solutions and i read about USA JIG and i tried it but it didn't work but i'm not sure if i did it wrong or it doens't work for my phone.
i need a hope that will be fixed in any possible way before i take a dicision to dumb this one and buy new one.... i really don't want to hate samsung products. so this time i think i'll move into the HTC X ONE... but i really wish to be able to fix this one becuase i newly had it no more than one month. and it's not under any warrenty or insurance " as it doens't apply for my country "
if anyone can lead me to a way please let me know..
and thanks for your time.
don't open new threads...your other one was more than enough, now you've just cluttered the forum.
Yes it'll work, go back to your first thread I gave you a link to a trusted and reliable repair service. In fact this is a link to that post, just click anywhere here and it'll direct you to the post I'm referring to.

Yes we were and are optimistic but we all informed u that there was really nothing to do other then insurance or warranty. U tried to flash a from that went for international other then states or vice versa. Take our advice and try the options we stated in your last thread. Mods can we close this thread?

I just got my note back from Samsung this past Thursday. I just flashed it with Liquid Jelly Bean and the newest Gapps. It won't reboot but when I hook it up to my computer one drive in Windows Explorer goes on & off repeatedly. I do think it has life but there is no video, sound or vibrations? Can I handle this or will it need service again? Thank you in advance for any help given!
Personally I think you should man up and send it to Jtag. I assume since you sent it to Samsung, that you have one fraudulent claim already. Why would it be the fault of the manufacturer that you bricked your phone (twice)?
Take responsibility for your actions. And if not, please don't post about it.

I clicked the download link in that article and it started downloading the d2ATT version which is the galaxy s3. Sounds to me like that article has some very wrong links that will brick a phone and require JTAG
I know. I wish I had noticed
So there is no question ... You take reasonability ... Send to jtag this time ... Learn your lesson ... Read better from now on. Right?

Would it be safe to say, that 99% of device bricks are user error?
And the other 1% either bad files or hardware failure ?
I think so, and wholly agree that if you make a mistake and damage your device, then take responsibility and pay to repair the mistake.
Making another party (Samsung) pay for the mistake just drives up the cost of new devices for everyone.
This device is nearly a year old (ancient by device standards) yet the retail price is still $500.00.
Personally, I already paid for mine, and I really don't want to pay for device repairs that I didn't cause, due too people not doing the research they should have when I buy another one.
Now I get it, and I'm not a heartless azzhat, but if your gonna lie, don't advertise it here....g
I'll add one last thing .. If your going to screw around with a device that is this expensive, don't trust a link from an email. Do some research. Come to xda ... Ask questions if needed, read all you can, and read some more. How many junk emails did you delete today alone?
This is 99.9% your fault. Send it to Jtag ... Take your lumps. LEARN. Accept that it's not Samsung that failed. I for one will think more highly of you.
When you get your phone back ... Before anything else ... Go here:

Whatever turns you on. Just remember when you dig one grave you better dig another one. I can't see the problem of exercising my rights to warranty. Sorry y'all are all Scrooges. Why should it bother you how I do it. Whatever u chose to do wouldn't cause me to harass you.
But still in my Christian heart. I wish all of you a very blessed Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!!!!
In your lying thieving Christian heart.
you are committing a crime. You void the warranty by just rooting it, you tired to install a custom os, and failed. The only right you're exercising is your right to commit fraud...again.
It's your fault your phone doesn't work now.
Why should we, the modding community as a whole start to jump through hoops to get access to our own devices because manufacturers and carriers want to lock down devices because people are stealing from them?
That's the main reason why New devices are so expensive and Verizon forces locked boot loaders... which has set a precedent, and if this continues I see other carriers following suit.
OK guys point well made.
OP,
You already used your warrenty on something that could have been a device defect or an issue caused by something you did that caused the part to fail. Either way this time was fully your doing. What you plan to do is a big problem and is not condoned by this site. Man up and get it fixed yourself.
Lets leave religion where it belongs and this site is not it.

now the Note won't even turn on or go into download mode or do anything at all. I made a total noobie mistake and now the Note is bricked. I guess there's a first time for everything, never bricked a phone before in my life. I did some search and I hear there's a thingamajiggie called "Samsung debrick jig?" I guess I need to try it, got nothing to lose at this point. Any suggestions?:crying::crying:

If your under warranty you could get ahold of Samsung and see about sending it in for repair. Turn around time is roughly 3 weeks. I doubt that a "jig" is going to work (from my previous experience.) You could send it out to get it JTAG repaired. Which is more probably what your thinking of. Either way your looking at between a couple days to a couple weeks to get it fixed.
If your sending it in to Samsung, you could tell them that you were installing an app, and then the phone turned off and wouldn't turn on or anything.
You need to pay up for the mistake and get jtag. It's going to cost you about 50 bucks. Sending it to Samsung is considered fraud since this is not a warranty issue but user error

Agreed. And returning it for warranty should not even be suggested here on xda. Once rooted the warranty is void.

www.mobiletechvideos.com website will be your solution. And fifty dollars.
I guess you ignored my advice to educate yourself. You're getting off cheap. Slow down.
thanks guys, I've ordered a repair service with Josh Groce at MTV as mentioned in posts above, paid $50 through Google Wallet (you can also pay through Paypal but they are evil), now I just need to find a postal office near me.
Just to make it clear, I never said I was going to return it to Samsung for warranty repair. I didn't know Sammy offered a 2-year warranty on their consumer mobile products, you learn new things everyday especially on XDA!!! (sarcasm)
It shows there are two kinds of people here: one group wants to really help people in need to the greatest extent including legal and possibly illegal means, the other group just wants to sit on their asses and go "I told you so, you should be more careful and do research first"
I did my basic research, including asking newb questions on xda. Based on what you guys said, I bought an i717 instead of the t-mobile version. Because I was carrying out a research, I had dozens of tabs on open on Firefox, and that's a contributing factor as to why I mistakenly flashed an international kernel on my at&t note.
Before you jump in, fingers waggin, saying useless things like "do search," please realize that an older device like the original note can have a long and sordid history of development. I was overwhelmed by the variety of "guides" and "howtos" and questions and answers when I first started reading about the Samsung Galaxy Note. Please be kind to semi-newbs like me, we are the silent majority here. (ranting)
One more rant before I go back to sleep (it's 6:25am here in rainy Southern California),
kernel developers should NOT be allowed to name their kernels "UNIVERSAL" I was suckered in to flash a "UNIVERSAL" kernel on my ATT Note I717. That UNIVERSAL kernel was only for International Note N7000.
I know, I should've known better. Well, a lesson learned, and as someone said above, it only cost $50.
If you are referring to me in your rant, I never even referred to you in my post. I pointed out that the posted suggestion above to return to Samsung for warranty was not only fraud .. But also against xda rules to be talking about. As for the post I agreed with ... If you've been reading around here lately you know there has been a rash of "help I've bricked my phone"threads lately. Some were due to a bad link to a rom outside xda. For some reason ... a lot of users here think that Samsung should replace under warranty for their mistakes. It's not the case. Simple fact is ... once you root the phone you have no warranty. That said, I believe that there is a grey area ... a know hardware failure ..I think it is fine to revert to stock to warranty.
I'm glad you've worked you issue out and wish you luck in the future. But instead of going on a rant to people who you may need help from in the future ... ... Just saying .. don't burn any bridges.
Have a good weekend
Edit:
In rereading ... I really don't think anyone was that harsh. Some of these have gotten quite ugly.

Allright, got some needed sleep, got up and went to the post office to mail off my bricked Note to [email protected] in Texas. Priority mail to Texas from Southern Cal cost about $6 plus insurance cost $4, so all told about U$10 to mail my Note (sans batt, back cover, stylus, sim card and sdcard). According to the MobileTechVideo site, it will take about 4 business for Josh to repair it. So I'm looking at about 2 weeks before I can get mine back. Kinda wishing that I had sprung for express service for another $15-20.
I'm now regretting the rants I spewed out earlier. However, I believe I made a couple of valid observations. I am grateful to those who pointed out the jtag repair, specifically sending it for repair to mobiletechvideo. I know I can attempt the repair myself but for $50 it's well worth it for me to let a seasoned pro handle it.
One of my pet peeves is the "I am holier than you" attitude, you know the kind who goes around saying "I told you to research, make a backup nandroid, do md5 hash check on ALL your downloads, etc..." You know what, things have happened and now you're holding a brick in your hand due to whatever you did. No sense in kicking a man when he's down. How can you call it a help? And to those of you who clicked on the Thanks button to these kind of people, you know who you are, Fie on You!!!
To Bubbajoe,
Cool, I didn't mean to refer you or anyone else in my regrettable rants in my previous posts. I thought I needed to clarify that I never thought sending my bricked note to Samsung for warranty repair was an option. Thanks for pointing out that it would've constituted a fraud, had I done it. Having said that, now that the cat is out of the bag, I now know I have an option. I am sure other people who read this thread have now seen the option of sending it back to Samsung for repair under warranty. I don't want to judge people, what they do with their stuff is their private matter, I can only hope that you would do the right thing. I believe in karma, what goes around, comes around. If you gloat over other people's misfortune, your turn will come.
It seemed harsh to me. I was down and instead of helping me get up, some people were taunting and kicking me: "I told you so," "you didn't take my advice," "why didn't you read", etc, etc, etc... Do you call these advice "help" that deserved to be thanked???
From just reading the title your gonna need jtag. Its like $50-$60

Sir if your rant was directed at me I never said you were implying you were going to send it to samsung. I was only pointing out that that advice that someone else mentioned was not a good idea.
I am glad that you got in touch with mobiletechvideos to get it repaired. He has helped many people out with hard bricks around here. As for doing the repair yourself you need a riff box to do jtag and the cost of that is a lot more than what you ended up paying for Josh to do the service.
Hope to see you back up in running around here soon.

You saying they should make a retraction?
He flashed a kernel for a completely different phone. You don't need root privileges to do that. So, no, this doesn't contradict the xda position.
Buy a new gasoline fueled car, then go and put diesel fuel in it and destroy the engine. No dealer will cover that error under a warranty. You pay for your mistake and learn to double check next time.

Bricking sucks, but thank goodness we have an out, unlike the old days where a guy just throws the phone in the trash and starts over.

While I highly respect Adam's opinion .. If you look at the attached post, you can see the statement copied directly from the Samsung website. Adam may be right ... Maybe not... But since it's Samsung we would be dealing with .. I would say the statement I made holds true. I'm not willing to fight my way to the supreme court to find out. If you are .. Let me know how it turns out. Also if you can gain root privileges without modifying or altering the electric circuitry .. Let me know that as well. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36727175
As far as xda .. If the official opinion is that rooting doesn't void the warranty .. I have to wonder ... If we do have a rooted user .. Say with a hardware issue that wants to claim warranty .. why are we not seeing everyone post that it's no problem .. Just send it back rooted. We see responses on how to unroot to claim warranty. Why bother? Why aren't the mods closing these threads stating that the unrooting is not needed? Additionally if I'm denied warranty, I'd venture to say that xda would not replace my phone or help me hire an attorney to fright Samsung.

Ok, so my last post was moved to a thread where it may die..lol
Anyway I have an android device (doesn't matter at this point which Android device it is) and it is bricked. There used to be a guy/company I could send a bricked device to and he could fix it and would send it back. I know this because I had a bricked device once and I used him to fix it long ago. I'm not sure if he is still in business or not, but I would love if anyone knew. I'm going through old email messages to try and find him but this was at least 3 years ago... Anyway, if anyone knows who I'm talking about I would love if you could post the info. =)

haha yeah I know, but a couple/few years ago he was a bigger deal I guess. I had bricked a phone back then and someone sent me to his info.. I know it seems like finding a needle in the amount of 20 hay-stacks, but thought it was worth a try.
I'm still actively looking for a way to at least flash a rom to this, hoping it would take. I called both my carrier tech support and the maker of the device tech support, neither would support the device so I'm here talking to all of you and hoping....
I know who you are talking about but he was long ago banned. You will need a jtag box to recover the device. To be honest you will spend more getting it fixed ten you would getting a new device.

Yes. No device is truly completely dead as long as you have the right equipment and know how. You just have to remove the board and Jack into the mount points on the board with a jtag machine.

Well, I'm not sure how or why he was banned, but he basically fixed bricked phones. He fixed an old Galaxy S3 for me when I bricked it. Cost me like $60. He was fair and fast. That's all I know about the guy. Sorry
I can't get into why he got banned. If you search for unbricking some of the older Galaxy devices you will find him easy enough.
If you are interested you can look up if on Jtag systems. They are what people had to use before you could flash a device with a pc. They allow direct loading onto the board.

I can't get into why he got banned. If you search for unbricking some of the older Galaxy devices you will find him easy enough.
If you are interested you can look up if on Jtag systems. They are what people had to use before you could flash a device with a pc. They allow direct loading onto the board.

Well can you at least tell me the guys name so I know who I'm looking for?? I'll search for unbricking galaxy devices, but it would be awesome if you could either post a link to directly where he is or tell me his name? =)
EDIT: OOps is his name Connexion2005 lol???
