Time for geek squad? - HTC Droid DNA

Dropped phone at work, broke glass. Possibly more. I have the $10 a month at best buy. Do i need to go back to stock? Im going to guess there is a way, i just need to search. Bad luck day, thats not all that has gone wrong. Thought about really crushing it, lol. Get a new one.

I gotcha. Its was actually very easy to relock, unroot, and go back to stock with correct "flag". Really easy.

I really don't think so. But I always suggest to people never root your phone until after 30 days return policy is up. Cause you never know if you have to return it.

If that was the case Best Buy accepted the phone back and not HTC.

Local Craigslist draws more locals that may be interested. Just meet the buyer at a VZW store to do it.

Craigslist is definitely the way to go. I don't even mess with eBay anymore. When I got rid of my Droid X I posted it on CL and it sold in about 20 minutes.

Here in Albuquerque they're going for 200-275 depending on condition. And considering unlimited data is on its way out you can tack on a bit more. Couldn't tell you how much cause a data plan is a difficult thing to put a value on.

Try http://swappa.com/ and also the Market section of this site.
Don't think you can sell on this site anymore. Seen somebody getting warned about it. Said marketplace was closed. Gonna try swappa.

For those with the new update

Does anyone know if someone is working on a possible root method for it, I'm dying to root again. Had to get a replacement device and came with the update already on it.
Thanks

They are working on it no ETA but they said they dont need anymore testers so maybe thats a good sign.

Yes, but most people want their phone to be opened up, voiding the warranty and whatnot.

Purchased a Note 2 off Craigslist... need to Rom it but have questions

The phone has superuser on it already. I downloaded ROM manager to check the recovery and it has CWM and TWRP. Is it safe to install custom roms or is there other steps that I need to take? The baseband is vraljb.... Android version 4.1.1
Thank you in advance.

Have you booted into recovery at all?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
If you can boot into the custom recovery, you can flash a custom rom.
Great idea I will try that. Thats why you guys are the best.

I did a trade for my iphone 5 for the note 2.
Seems like an even trade. Although I feel like the iphone has a better resale.

Awwh man I hope not... That would really suck, especially after getting used to the size of this screen.... nothing else would compare. The guy seemed straight up though. If this comes back to bite me them I am done with craigslist for devices. I'll keep you guys up posted.

If you do an insurance job and get another phone. They don't ban your original for weeks. So he could activate it. But it's still on a list to be banned.

If its legit, then you got a killer deal. The cheapest GN2 that I've seen was $350 but it had a cracked screen. I see some for $200-250, but I am sure those are scams. The next time you buy a Verizon phone, call *611 and verify the ESN status before handing over money or trading phones. A legit seller will not mind at all.

Will they take a phone with a custom rom? Or does it need to be stock?

I flashed my phones back to stock or at least visually stock looking before I traded it in (just to be on the safe side).... but the fine print didn't say anything about not the phone having to be stock. I did have trouble even getting the $100 at one store so if you run into an issue with the custom rom, try another store.
They took my old inspire with custom rom. At first they were only giving me $36 bucks for it. I told them I called customer service and was told to just take it to any Corp store and they will credit my account $100. They couldn't do it, but ended up giving me a visa trade in card worth $100.
I'm happy.

Nobody is going to care. As long as it works, the screen isn't broken, it has all its parts, and nothing else on the phone is broken, they'll take it.

They probably will be unloading them on ebay or something anyway. They won't be reselling them themselves I'll bet.
The guy said it didn't matter. Didn't even trade it anyways.

It shouldn't matter. My Dell Streak had CM 7.2 on it.
