Hi all,
I am looking to sell my gen8 A101 so I can upgrade to a more powerful tablet (possibly a gen9 in a couple of weeks).
Here's the low-down:
I have all original packaging, cables, documents, etc.
The unit is still in "like-new" condition cosmetically.
I did root with churli method (but I left the android firmware on as well so you can still boot to stock android if you don't want to run the developer edition). I will remove the custom kernel if you want me to.
It is running on the latest firmware (2.3.26).
I will do a full reset of course before I send it to you.
I do currently have Zagg full protection installed, but I didn't do a very good job so it kind of looks bubbly. I can rip it off before-hand if you want, or I can just leave it on and you can decide if you want to get another screen protector or deal with my poor install job.
I prefer to do it through an eBay private auction w/PayPal so we both have the buyer/seller protection that comes along with that. I would also prefer to ship within the US but I am not opposed to ship outside the US, I would just need to research on the cost. I've never had to mail anything out of the US before.
Original cost was $299 from Newegg. I'll accept the first reasonable offer, but don't forget that if you are out of the US you'll have to pay for shipping as well.

Finally decided to move on from the Shift, love it, but I now have to carry a work laptop too and can't be bothered carrying both.
Selling with brand new additonal battery (2 batteries included) and a international power kit.
Comes with recovery USB stick. Hope it goes to a good home.

My guess is that he is in Great Britain as the ebay listing is in GBP.....
Location
Correct UK, This is a UK English Shift.....
As it turns out I was already watching this in My Ebay before I saw the thread. Sadly as stated previously though, only shipping to UK.
Best of luck in selling.
really need one, just lost my x7500 today..
please let me know if u can ship it to Canada, thx
International
Buy it now and as long as your paypal address is certified i'll ship it to canada.
We may need to adjust the postage (I've stated £18 in UK, i think it'll be at least double that to canada)
maybe i just bid on it? thx
I am international attorney and have interest. Would you consider shipping to USA? (At my expense of course) Please advise on USD price if this is possibility. Also advise as to whether swaps or trades would be in order as feasible alternatives (e.g. I have 3 HTC TILT (Sprint-compatible) phones I would be willing to part with or augment within such a transaction.
SORRY!!!!
It's sold...... Thanks.....
If anyone is interested, I am selling a NEW HTC shift. I only bought it on the 21st Jan 2009.
I bought it for a friend (I do IT work privately) and he now says that he doesn't want it.
I am selling it for €600 (plus shipping) which is the price that I paid for it. I will include the invoice to prove this!!
The device has not been used other than to check that it works.
If anyone is interested, please contact me. nicholas at cross dot lu
Forgot to say... the shift is UK version, and I will ship worldwide so long as you are willing to pay for insured delivery (will be approx €30).
Here is the link to a certain site that I shouldn't mention: item n°: 140298568640

Hello,
Im thinking about buying Universal, but i have some questions about it.
1.Where to buy it, i would like to get it in good shape/now, not some old cheese.
2.Has it any defects or easy brokening parts.? Warranty after buying via. internet is a pain.
3. I read somewere that there are some fake models avabile?
Is it real talk or some WomensInSaunaToldMe story?
Your best bet would either be eBay or the Marketplace. I think the latter is a better choice because you'll probably find it much cheaper with details.
Just looked, at the ebay.
I could get for 350$ from there.
Now i need some info abot the fake thing.
And one question more:
Is this mobile still sustainable (this may be wrong word ) or is there a hope for support in XDA nexr 2-3 years?
But yeah, Wallaby is much older
Do not hessitate on buying an Universal!
Is one of the best devices ever!!
Thanks to the Chefs and Devs here you´ll have Universal for a long time!
Have a look here to see another buy options

Haven't heard of this "fake" business you speak of but i'm pretty sure eBay is safe. I'm also sure you can get one for much cheaper than that.

Cheaper than the Ebay?
Where?I think 350usd for that kinda High-End device is pretty cheap.
All im worried about is, that maybe it doesn't fit into my pants pockets, because im only 12 and my pocket's arent very big.
edit: Orb3000 could you please fix the link. I like'd to read it.
Enter here and do a search with the word "Universal"
You´ll see many options:

Hi jaank.
On Ebay in the UK, Universals are selling for £100-£130. that is 1840-2390 Krooni (you live in Estonia, right?) You could probably get a better deal on this site in Marketplace.
If you are worried about the size for your pocket. A Uni is 130mm X 78mm X 23mm. Maximum. make up a cardboard one and try it out. that was what I did before I bought my Athena.
A Uni is pretty tough but so is school.(at least mine was) you need to be careful. You already have a Wizard so you know that. Best of luck. let us know how you get on.
Oh, cool answer
But, has Universal some weak spots?
Like the screen turning system or so?Im thinking about some other mobile, at the weekend.
Im in Middle schoool , so im pretty peaceful and im pretty peaceful at all, but im sportly active and so having second phone is pretty good idea I think.
And the point for buying Uni IS school.
Im a boy, so i sit at the back and our school has wifi.
And as you all know (I hope) is school pretty booring.
Thank you for the help, and sorry for my English.I started learning English in third grade and Im going to Six't grade so I'm not really experienced about english.
Thank you, and i love PayPal.
EDIT: Where did you see NEW uni for 2000eek. I talked to my parrents and it's have to be new
EDIT2:About future Is there some roms wiht the latest Manila as in the Touch Pro/Hd
SorryForDouble
Looking for the Cheapest NEW uni.
My old mobile battery is diening so needed fast.
Uni's can be bought cheap at the German eBay. Current prices are at about 100 Euro, I saw auctions finishing at 90 Euro. This is madness, for such a great device.
You need to search for "MDA PRO", as this is the name given by the German phone operator.
I actually own two of them, so that is a good sign on how much I like this phone!
Drawbacks: whilst driving, my phone holder does not allow the Universal to be placed such that the keyboard is accessible. This means, I can't type while driving (one shouldn't do that anyway). Also, Internet Explorer will render quite small fonts.
When I am driving, I do prefer the form factor of my VDA GPS (like a Motorola Q9).
Other than that, this phone is simply great.
No known issues.
You should consider:
- new battery
- screen protector
- proper car holder
Cheers,
vma
i got mine about a month ago. i got it off ebay germany, i paid 88eur for the universal g3, plus a 3200mah battery, a tomtom mkii sirf3 gps receiver and a docking station.
that was about the best 90eur i ever spent, although i didn't get a stylus, a case or a handsfree, which i thought, was standard accessories, the gps alone is priced at 75eur in germany
VMA:
- new battery- IDK, I'm scared about weight.
- screen protector- Shure
- proper car holder- Dont have a car so not needed.
If you buying MDA Pro than you can still flash it?
EDIT: Is MDA pro software in germany?
Hi,
With new battery I meant the fact that most MDA PRO's sold nowadays at eBay are over two years old, so you should not expect to much from the shipped battery. You certainly will need to purchase a new one soon to get a full day of heavy usage out of your device.
I agree that the extra capacity batteries increase the size and weight of the Universal beyond reasonable lilmits (for me at least), so I would stick with the normal sized batteries.
Basically I wanted to alert you that you should not spend *ALL* your money on the Universal - save some for an extra battery...
The German MDA PRO will in most cases come with a German falvour of WM5 and with a SIM lock.
You can, however, unlock the SIM by following the procedure of the Unlocker (search forum) and you can certainly flash a different ROM. I personally like Tomal's modified WM6.1 ROM's a lot.
The only remaining issues you will have with the German version of the Universal:
- MDA / T-Mobile logo on the inside, T-Mobile logo on the outside
- German keyboard: essentially you will have the "Y" and "Z" keys swapped - and no, you can't physically exchange the keys, because they have different size
I can live perfectly well with both issues and they don't affect the usability or the value of the device at all.
Cheers,
vma
Now it's about Ebay safety.
How to chose seller?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-O2-XD...trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1205|293:1|294:50
What do you think about that?
Check on marketplace first!
I saw yesterday a great Uni selling from a trustable member
There is always a risk involved in any internet related purchase...
At eBay you should look for:
- sellers with more than a minimu of 5 feedbacks
- sellers with 100% rating - in case of 99.x% rating, check what was the cause of the negative feedback (sometime's it is not the sellers fault)
- check what other products the seller has been selling
- pictures of the real device, not just standard marketing images
- ask the seller a question and see how long it takes him to respond - avoid sellers who dont respond
- avoid sellers accepting Western Union or similar payment forms
- don't relay totally on PayPAL - it is not that secure
- check shipping costs
- check taxes - specially in case of imports from other economic areas
If nothing is strange so far, nothing fishy, then you can take the risk.
Regarding the Marketplace here at XDA-DEVELOPERS: I have never purchased anything, but would do so from respected members. Check how long they are registered and how many postings they have. No crook would be wasting time with hundreds of posts over years just to sell you a broken Universal...
However, in case things go wrong and if you bought something from someone on the other side of the world, there is nothing much you can do.
That is the price you pay, for getting the device with a discount of aproximatly 50%.
Cheers,
vma
OK - sellers with more than a minimu of 5 feedbacks

So look's pretty good.

there's actually a market folder for selling, but i really haven't seen mods enforce posting there in any of the subforums i frequent.
Is anybody selling a 101 in the San Diego aria? I'm looking to buy one but I want to inspect the unit first, ie: no shipping.

I could set up a webcam for you and you could have me do whatever you want to check it out and if you like what you see we can do some kind of paypal arrangement.
Just to be clear, I'm referring to showing you the 101 on camera. Anything else will cost a lot extra.

I'll 100% guaranty the unit is in excellent condition, I'm so certain, I'll even pay the return shipping if you can tell me what is wrong with the unit. If you're serious about getting a 101, send me an email @ [email protected] and I'll send you a link to the pics and a short movie of the unit working.
Hi, i found a Nexus 7 (2012) in an electronic container, the tablet seem to boot after letting it charge 30min and holding power on for 10sec. I cannot be sure if it's 100% working but the upper screen seem to have gray bar moving until 3min later when it stopped (booting until lock screen). The screen's totally unusable since it has a big shatter section in the center. I am looking for a recommendation of the cheaper screen replacement i could get on any website. Ebay at the moment seem the best at $26 USD, i live in Canada.
Thank you for your recommendation.
you do not want to buy the cheapest display/digitizer combo that you can find, because those are chinese parts (not OEM), you should buy your screen from reputable US/CA based vendors, and try to buy used screens in good shape. two years ago I bought a display/digitizer/frame assembly for my nexus 7, from the ebay seller FoxPcParts, and it arrived slightly scratched (this is a good indicator that it was removed from a nexus 7, so OEM quality). you dont want to deal with chinese knockoff parts, so try to limit your search to local or US vendors. if you want the link to this vendor, PM me (xda does not allow me to post outside links because I'm a new member).
Might be a little too late, ordered from the cheapest seller who has a ton of good feedback and sold 300+ unit of replacement.
Now i tried to activate adb from fastboot, idk if it's still possible but it don't sound anymore since it was from Jellybean time. It seem i can access the internal sd card when it has booted in android. Gonna wait some time for the delivery.
If anyone know a method of using this device from my computer screen or something like that when adb's not activated, just let's know. Thank.
