Hi all..i got myself a rifffbox and the jtag kit which cost a little alright as i was thinking of doing some unbricking of my own for the mega or maybe some other phones, now if anybody else has a riffbox do they want you to pay $79 USD to get a license to use it as that is kinda steep on top of the cost i already spent on the items..just making sure this is true as the cost seems high..or is there a way just to use it...or is the license required..as if i have to pay this in the end i will. :silly:

Hehe at this rate going to be enough money in the pot for someone to buy a tablet
count me in for 20 dollars as well
So we're now at $160. I'll throw $20 in the pot too. Let's hope this is incentive enough for some clever dev.

Wow that's very generous of you mate!
OK NEW UPDATE: with tbird.hokie and crpaulino's generous donations and the rest of us all pooling together, we're at $330!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's insane, honestly, that's literally almost enough to buy someone a tablet at this point.
Is there a way for the developer to know for sure that they will get the money? If they spend $400 and buy the tablet and the people "forget" about the money, they would actually lose money.

Which is why, honestly, it would be better for somebody to send me there device for a couple of days to mess with. Blind developing root is possible its just going to be harder.

Well, if trust is the issue, why would someone mail their tablet to a stranger? I think what we're all hoping is that someone has their hands on a tablet and has dev skills and could mess around with it. You're right - blind rooting is close to impossible; we just want to say that we'll contribute $15, 20, 50, or 100 each once someone can successfully provide us with root. I'd part with my device if it was someone local, but I take it with me everywhere now and whether or not it gets rooted I'll use it just as much, I'd just like root for a lot of fun things I'd like to do with it. That being said, if anyone wants to send bubby323 their tablet, he stands to make over $300 if he gets root and s-off on the tablet S!!!
Can someone access using ADB "/cache/ota" and/or "/cache/download" and/or "/cache/recovery"? If you can, please make a dump of these folders (the ones that exist). Also see if you can write to these folders. If you can read these folders, there a chance I know how to root it. If you can write to these folders, there's an even greater chance.
Also, if there's anyone who knows how to use adb, add me on google talk or something. I need someone with access to a Tablet S for some of the stuff I'm doing with the Play that I want to test.
put me in for $20 so that we have a total of 350
Hi i would like to buy an carrier unlocked I777 without any marks,scratches or blasemis.
No need any special accessories just the phone,charger and usb cable.
I'll pay 325$ plus 40$ shipping costs.
Im from Israel.
Any suggestions will be posted in this thread only or in P.M.
Regards Israel ben david
I'll sell it to you for $US650 plus shipping and taxes, no less!
Otherwise Im sure you can get ogsgs2 with that ridiculous iphone home hardkey for very cheap these days!
Thats a suggestion from Aus!
Regards
Flashmore from AUS!
650$ ? No thanks.
There is no reason for pay double on the same phone
With the same spec.
Thank you for answering
They are 550 new or 520 at walmart
from my i777 on MIUI

Not double. I777 is $550 if purchased outright off-contract. Add sales tax and it can be as high as $600.
It's unreasonable to expect people to waste their contract subsidy to provide you a discount. If you get a device for under $400, it's going to be a used item with cosmetic blemishes.
Anything showing up for less than $400 in Craigslist is likely a scam.
Got one last week off of Craigslist for $350, had a minor scratch on the bottom right corner bezel
It seems like the wrong forum to post it. Why not try the MP (Market Place) under "Want to Buy"? While I doubt it, someone may be willing to unload his/her i777 for dirt cheap and go through the hassle of shipping it internationally.
Any reason you are looking for the US only i777 instead of the international I9100?
If you looking for mint condition you would prepare to dish out at least 400+ imo

Dont know..looks pretty to me i dont mind geting an i9100 in this price..
I have a virtually brand new sgs2 (white ) its only been used as a spare for my girlfriend until she got her new phone,so its about a month old. It has been rooted but no custom ROMs as she just needed the temp sim unlock which I have now removed again but kept the root enabled. So I would like now to sell it and was wondering how much these are worth today?. Its 3 UK carrier with all leads,headphones etc and boxed and has a screen protector under the original over covers.
Looked around but the variety of prices makes it unclear how much I should sell for,any ideas.........

eBay will give you a guide as to what they're going for I would have thought.
Edit - Scrub what I said about Marketplace. Seems they closed it a couple months ago. Or sites like this. I'd be surprised if you didn't have them in the UK (Google = friend).

Mmmmmm I wanted a community perspective on pricing because like I said I have looked but the variations on pricing are so different everywhere I look. I want to give somebody a bargain/fair price but I don't want to get ripped off either. The phone was free to me and I have a nexus 4 so I don't need the s2. Thanks but no disrespect I don't need links to here and there but would appreciate a comment like.....
" I would not sell it for less than ? "
" I think they are worth about ? "
Kindest regards

i made a research on the used price of the s2 for a friend of mine, and it goes from 250€ to 350€.
i think around 300€ (or 257.55£) is a fair price
Always go a little higher than what you want to sell it at ( 250 = 270 etc.) because people always wants to go down in price .

Well If you're thinking of selling it...do it fast, samsung might drop the price of SGS2 anytime soon, coz its already doing that for many phones like S3 and note 2 etc..
Well it should go for about british 250 pounds(shouldn't go more than that) if you have all required stuff and accessories...
depends on buyer how much he's willing to pay..
Youll get nowhere near £250.I sold mines for £205 on boxing day,and a 3 month old note for £250 the day after that.Done it via eBay and that cost me about £50.
I believe Orange were selling brand new s2 for £199.99 not long after that.
You list the phone for whatever you think its worth and see if anybody bites.
Thanks all
So if I say £200 then that's a fair price yes ? Give or take a few £
Like I said its virtually brand new with I would say no more than 30 hours use.

Well in India you could sell that for about Rs.18000 to a dealer who deals second hand phones... Coz its only a month old...
That guy will increase the price to Rs.19-20000(220 pounds) and sell in the market... That's all I know... confirmed..
Plus markets are pretty different from places to places... Idk whether it's a good or bad idea selling it online...
Better sell it to a friend or someone...coz that person will feel a sense of security and already knows how less you've used it so will be willing to pay more..
Now u shouldn't be selling it nowhere below 170 pounds... Coz am already getting a 4 month used galaxy S2 in that price here...
Rest is your choice..
Sorry I was saying 250 pounds cox I had got conversions wrong..

The price would totally depend on where you want to sell it... Ebay is one thing, local Craigslist is another. As always, it's not what you want to sell it for, but what someone is willing to pay for it. In my local market, my target would be somewhere around $220-$250. $200 would be the lowest I'd sell it for. I bought my SGS2 a month ago for $140 on Craigslist. The only problems with it were the crappy battery and a scratched lens cover, so I had to buy a replacement casing and a new battery (about $30 worth in total)...
Duty free shop:
S II Brand new: $ 640 bucks
S III brand new: $ 740 bucks.
crazy right?
Sell it as Brand new.
i need some help finding a website that changes glass on these phones. I have a absolute budget of 100 dollars. Thanks guys

The cheapest I found when looking this past week to replace mine was $120 local. I also saw a reputable website http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/ that offered $125 to send off. I was also recently given the website of http://poppaphonefix.com/ that can do it for cheaper, but I have no personal experience with them. I'm very happy with my $120 replacement. Whatever you do, don't try and fix it yourself.
Hello,
I've managed to crack my screen (jut took the phone out of my pocket), and of course, Sony blame me for this, so they won't honor the warranty. No matter if I showed them the pages where Sony is repairing this screens for free on other parts of the world.
They want to charge me $600 USD, so obviously I'm trying to buy a new display/lcd combo online, where I can find prices varying from $150 to $250 USD. The problem with this approach is that most of the vendors are not well known for me, so I don't know if they are worth of my trust.
Do any of you have a recommendation for an online vendor?
Thank you very much for your help. I've been without my phone for one month now, and I really miss playing with it.

I haven't personally used it but try etradesupply, they're selling the Z ultra display for $204.
Erica Griffin from Youtube has used them so at least they are trustworthy i guess if she recommended them.
