I have a question about an HTC Magic for sale on ebay.
Does this look genuine? The fact that it is coming from China has me a bit concerned as well as it seems to be selling cheaper than the others, but maybe you guys can tell me if you think its genuine or not?
The person said they are OEM phones. Sorry I can't include a link, but as a new user I am not allowed to just yet.
You have given pretty much zero information that somebody would need to help you. No link (you can't post hotlinks, but there are ways to obscure links), what the auction says, not even the sellers name.
Can't help you.

so what happens if i lose my wizard and i didnt have IIWPO on it. i have my IMEI. is there any way of tracking it down or not???
What is IIWPO?
Unless you set your owner information to show up on resume, setup some tracking service, or affixed your information to the housing of the device, no. There isn't a tracking system built into the HTC Wizard (or any phone to my knowledge).
Unless someone uses one of those previously mentioned methods to contact you your phone is lost. You could, of course, backtrace your steps to find it, but these are commonsense things you should be trying anyways.
Nothing anyone here can do to help you, cept maybe sell you another.
Not really, you need (AFAIK) operator level equipment to track a phone by IMEI. And frankly, given that the IMEI changer is available on this site for free, it probably won't have the same IMEI for long. Just report to your operator and buy a new one.
Sorry for the loss tho!

hey I hope the admins don't get mad at me for posting this here but I cannot find a buy/sell section either.
Here is my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1065022&postcount=3
and my ebay listing:http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29296...site=0&ver=LCA080805&item=200053332070&lk=URL
Not sure if this is against forum rules, I read through the guidelines and didn't find advertising forbidden. please feel free to delete this thread if it is inappropriate though.

I have three faulty hermes devices that I thought some of the people here might like to pick up for cheap, to fix or use for parts etc. Follow the link for details, I will be happy to answer any questions you have.
may you sell just one?
I had a problem in one component, and have to change the motherboard
No, sorry, I do not want to break them into seperate auctions and I have already received bids from people who want to buy all three
Hey guys. Let me first start off saying I hope I'm in the right section here. This seems more plausible than the Q&A to me for some reason.
I was just seeking some information (for me and all other US potential buyers) on how/which/where/what to get this device? If anyone could just even attempt to answer one question, I would GREATLY appreciate it. My questions are not simple "do you like dis device?!", rather, they pertain to development:
1) Is there a difference between the International version and the 'US' version (if there are different versions)? I will not be buying this device on carrier contract and was wondering, when I buy it online, should I be aware of different versions with different radios, etc... I will be using this device with a microSIM on T-Mo USA HSPA+.
2) What are the odds of achieving S-Off? I understand HTC is offering a 'dev' edition but does NOT offer S-Off. Kind of a stab in the back for 'devs' if you ask me. I know this is SUPER early in development to even wonder, just throwing it out there wondering how well developers may support this device in the future. My main purpose of buying a new device is for a strong future in development (both stock updates and 3rd party support) in the long run.
3) Where/when/how/what? If that didn't make Sense?!?!: I noticed the 'dev' edition will be priced at 6hundred something USD (article linked above) and was wondering if this would be cheaper/more expensive than the regular unlocked man? I hope they don't retail this bad boy ridiculously expensive like Sammy over there with the new Cosmo 14 or whatever that device is.
Thank you so much guys! Any help would be super appreciated as mentioned before. Peace Please don't ripe me a new one if this thread is out of place!

Its not as much as the websites but more about the seller. One good website is fastcardtech (Google it), or you can try e-bay. You can never be 100% sure especially if they are from china but at least with e-bay you have Paypal to cover your back .
I would suggest looking at some popular you-tubers as well to check how the phones are in real life. But I would rather buy from a proper shop with popular manufacturers. The moto g is pretty good and pretty good from the UK ~£100 or you can try a lumia windows phone. Just to let you know Chinese phones aren't fully supported or popular on xda.
I'm a totally new to this was hoping someone can guide me in recovering my unit.
It was working fine until one of the days it just boom no longer boots into the OS.
My seller has indicated that I have a chip with All Winner T3
Since I can't get in there, I don't think I can give much info other then what's below.
Appreciate your help!

Saying that I'm new somehow excuses me from any effort. Come on 'people' fix it!

I feel so privileged that people care and answer me without any effort at all.
Here's my pitch:

I'm going to say the following because I'm talking to an audience that I believe will respond to me, because I am privileged, so people will answer. Of course.
Appreciate your help!

you want others to watch videos to solve your problem, is that correct?
If the unit is defective an in warranty, what does the seller suggest?
Apart from taking videos, what have you found and tried so far from reading the forums?
Why do you think posting here to get answers and then disappearing because your cheap Chinese headunit has problems and the seller won't help (because you wanted to save money instead of buying a reputable branded unit despite having zero skills to fix problems) and never to be heard from again after you have your answers, you think treating XDA like paid support is OK?
Did the 4pda guys say the same or perhaps not reply at all?
Curious. Really. I could be wrong. You're not alone. Your response could answer alot of my curiosity, having read so many post in the same way you have.
"Here's my video, please watch it and tell me how to fix it". Totally curious. I could say wtf, but I haven't.
lol not at all, I have been reading the forms a bunch here & other places. those pics you see should indicate that I opened this unit in hopes of finding some info with no luck for me..
Yes I know how this works it's a community not a charity club, however when your in need your in need it's as simple as that.
I have seen people here providing the needed files & it seems like they are all pointing towards MCU & firmware?? That is needed in order to provide the correct files.. how do you even get to that without entering recovery/OS
