Sent my bricked xoom in to Motorola a few weeks ago, they called today claiming it was not repairable, they are sending it back tomorrow. They didn't mention anything about it being rooted, just stated they will not cover it. I guess I asked for it.....

It's a sad day for you
This is why I got my 1 year warranty from Bestbuy. They cover it regardless of what I flash.
I wonder if there is any way to pull that off with the best buy warranty, any idea how long it is till you can no longer buy a warranty

Wow..that must be sad..and that's the reasn why I didn't root my xoom yet even I am eagerly want to root it and upgrade it with android 3.1..cause u know..things might get unlucky...

You can purchase the Best Buy PSP (their black tie service plan) up until the day you can return your Xoom for a refund (30 days / 45 if you are a silver rewards member). With the Best Buy PSP you can literally trash your Xoom and they'll give you another one (stupid policy IMO). This includes rooting/hacking/flashing/doing whatever the hell you want to it.

You're making a smart decision. Unless you are 110% comfortable with development tools I would always advice against rooting and flashing custom software on your Xoom. In almost every single instance where I've seen someone come post about their bricked Xoom it was obvious that they didn't have the first CLUE what they were doing.
It was bricked by clockwork SD partition for some reason now they say they can't fix it

To OP, sorry to hear that. I had the same issue as you and the whole process from the day I called to the day I received the new Xoom was 7 days. I was kinda suprised, was thinking that I might have to pay for the repair. Maybe too many bricked Xoom sent in for repair with the same issue.

Can't or won't?
I wonder if it would be worth your while calling Motorola and explaining exactly what has happened, mention that you'd be willing to pay for a repair subject to cost? It would be a real shame if they can't help you out.
Motorola had my xoom for 3 weeks. Just got a call.from the customer advocacy office telling me it is not repairable and it is not covered under warranty, I offered to pay and they said no,
it is stuck at MOTO dual core, volume buttons are unresponsive

At this point if you got it covered under homeowners whats the point.
PS: I'd like to know how you got it covered for only a $50 deductable. Is there an addon to your insurance that covers electronics?
Yes there is a home computer and electronics add on for 15 bucks a year. Pretty much equivalent to best buys black tie warranty only better!! I didn't even know I had it till today. I pretty much wanted to post this as a warning, Motorola seems to have had enough but who knows. I figured they would replace it so they wouldn't get any bad publicity since sales are somewhat weak, but I was wrong. Oh well live and learn I guess

So you were hoping they would honor a voided warranty cause sales are weak? Don't want to be dickish but thats the risk we run rooting and flashing. It's like if i bought a new car put a blower on it and blew the motor. I couldn't take it back and say fix it. But glad to hear you found a way to get a xoom.
Not honoring a voided warranty is one thing; we all take on that responsibility the moment we unlock the device. Refusing to repair the device even if you are willing to PAY for the repairs is quite another. Hard to believe the thing is just a throw-away.
I have liberty mutual insurance, I sent it to Motorola not expecting anything but it can't hurt to try, I work in the auto business and we warranty a lot of things that are or should void the warranty but in order to keep happy customers and no bad press we just warranty it, I figured they might just fix it like they have for others, oh well, maybe ill post a YouTube video of it stuck at the MOTO screen and use it for Target practice Haha, or even start a site called WWW.trashmyxoom.com. Haha only thing to do now is laugh it off ....oh and don't do it again!

I have always heard some good experiences with ebay although I cannot speak on the amount of money you would get based on how you configure your sale. I personally always go for craig's list because it allows you to work out an arrangement that you both can agree on instead of settling. Works best if you use the built in auto forward email feature so that you do not have to disclose your email address to potential buyers and leave the possibility of being bothered later when the Nexus is long gone. Good luck!

Craigslist for me too, so I can deal locally and in cash. If you have a problem on eBay there's nothing eBay will do to help and you will be out either your money or the device...
I sold my HTC flyer within 2 days on craigslist. While there are still crooks on cl, by dealing locally and in cash, I've never had any problem. I also use the email forwarder and provide no personal details until I can smell that all is on the up and up...

I think eBay will get you more money as far as "hey, I sold it for $175" but then when you pay the fees and the shipping you end up with $125 in your pocket. Craigslist will give you cash instantly (no gaming playing with PayPal), and you will probably get more in the end if you sell it for less money.

Yeah but its not like you'll be out of anything besides time. You don't send the product until they pay. Some jerks will bid on a item with no intentions to pay but its not like you take a loss financially. Ebay will refund all fees associated with listing the item if the buyer doesn't pay. But it does suck if you have to go thru the hassle of relisting it again lol.

I second this.
my vote goes towards Amazon. this is where i sold my Asus TF101.
and 2nd to Swappa.
I go craigslist. But if you use craigslist post a number if you actually want to sell. Myself and everybody I know skip over adds that don't post a number, when I actually want to buy something I want to talk to you now not wait for you to ignore my email because your to lazy to take 30 seconds and delete your add (which really is that easy from an android phone) after a sell like a previous reply implied.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I would try another tech forum like Hard OCP or Anandtech or similar. Both have established markets with few incidents. Make sure the user can verify themselves, uses Heatware, etc. If that failed, I'd try Craigslist, meet publicly, cash-only, etc. The hits from either Paypal or Ebay alone is OK but NOT both. I only sell things on ebay if I know I can't sell it elsewhere (needs bigger market, niche item).

No, warranty is non-transferable in normal circumstances. Call Google for clarification, though

Why should it? If he owns the bill everything should be okay. Sold a phone once wich still was in warranty period. Just copied the Bill and everything was OK.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Might work that way in the US, but in the UK a warranty isn't always transferable regardless of having the original POP because the device is technically 2nd hand and most warranties state it's for the original purchase only - definitely that way for the company I work for. If the original owner registered the unit for warranty then you're screwed. If not, you might be able to get away with it
I live in the us. Any way to check online?

Yes you can...I had a similar issue...bought off craigslist...screen had major flicker issues....if you get a hold of the person who sold you the phone and have them give you the receipt..then you can RMA it only through LG because its from t-mobile...mine was bought from google so google has the RMA processed.
Ya bought one from kijiji Toronto on wondering the same thingHe bought his from the play store...
Okay so let me update this so i can get a better answer. The phone i am needing a replacement on is a phone i got from craigslist. i don't have the receipt but the phone had never been turned on before i was the one to open the box. I don't have the receipt for the phone. So please someone who had been through this before can you give me some insight

If you did not purchase the device from Google Play you'll have to contact LG for warranty service. http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGE960
If its from T-Mobile call customer care and get a warranty exchange if your phone line has the the device warranty.

How did others get theirs fixed? I have it insured by AT&T but it will cost another 200$ I only bought this a little over a month ago. Any other cheaper alternatives besides trying to fix it myself?

from the reports i've been hearing, fixing it yourself is actually more expensive, the $200 charge is cheaper then what the amoled is worth.
I would call samsung for just warranty repair. If internal is damaged but external has no sign of damage, they usually honor the warranty.
This is what I did, I called for warranty repair, they wanted the description of damage. It was pretty much as same as OP problem. They wanted me to send pictures via email both on and off screen. I guess they wanted to see if the glass was undamaged. After few email exchanges, they honored the warranty repair.
I always be blunt and frank with them but try not to be a ****. If you show respect and tell truth, they will be nice to you too.

I didn't pay any. Make sure you tell them external has no indication of any damages. Just keep teeling them that. Tell them digitizer/oled started making weird lines.
AT&T also has 1 year warranty as well so I would try both. But I always get better result straight through manufacturer than carriers.
I hope this helps and good luck.
