Basically, they somehow know that I am rooted and I have never even taken my phone in before for anything. I don't know how this is possible as I rarely even touch the hotspot feature. Not sure what I'm going to do, but they said that I have 72 hours to restore the phone back to store bought conditions or my service will be terminated. At least there wont be an ETF fee..

No disrespect, but I won't believe this until I hear it myself.
That, or there is more to the story other than just rooting.
I have never heard of such a call...possibly a practical joke. My question is all the phones rooted..ehu not a mass email ....sounds phony...
I'm with sirmx on this one. It doesn't say anywhere in the contract with sprint that you can't root/hack your own phone. It does say something about excessive data usage and roaming. So if you have been using your Evo as a modem (tethered via either usb or wireless), it's possible that they have caught ya
All of the phones in our house are rooted.
Sorry, I just don't believe this and I find it more than convenient that this post comes the same day as this one.
So, if this did happen, it's not because you were rooted...it's because you did something like excessive, abusive data usage or some other contract violation.
Rooting is NOT a contract violation.

Clearly this is not true, as company policy clearly allows 84 Hours, not 72 to return it to stock. This is company policy #100%BS.
Lets not forget that the feds ruled within the last year roughly that it is not illegal to root your device, but your carrier still had the right to deny you services, so they can't force you to unroot, but they can cancel your service.

If you're comfortable with your legalese, here's the official statement:
http://www.copyright.gov/1201/2010/Librarian-of-Congress-1201-Statement.html
I wouldn't unroot.
What number called you?
I'm with tomh1979 on this one. I though the fed decided it was legal with the iphone jailbreaking. Wouldn't it be the same with android??
Did they also threaten to kick your dog?
Have fun with it
Give us the number that called and that will reveal the truth behind it.
Whether thay actaully called him or not is wierd.
As far as illegal, rooting is not illegal.
However, SPRINT can reserve the right to terminate your service for any reason, it's their company. Just means that you won't get any criminal penalties.
But, I also call BS on this. I don't think sprint give s hit about root.
But those people that root and play PS3 or xbox or P2P, why do they wonder why their service is disconnected? Don't be stupid and do that.

I was told 84 hours, 12 minutes ... the extra 12 minutes on account of being Sprint Premier. True story. This is company policy #100%BSX2.

Exactly. It voids your phone's warranty, but sprint has no right to force you to unroot or cancel your service. There is nothing in the contract that says you cannot root your phone. It's YOUR phone, you bought it, you can do what you want with it.

What do you see? Here is my screenshot in case the page disappears. I see that it should be UNLOCKED but you get an additional discount if you sign with AT&T, right?

I went through the entire thing .. stopped before paying .. it NEVER says ANYTHING about AT&T only.
Maybe there are unlocked units out there for sale. Going to try and buy one and get the discount ...
THIS WAS THE FIRST PAGE I WENT TO I am typing this and now it says "early sign up no longer available." but I have completed everything EXCEPT, paying for it. The price changed back to $549 .. but still .. Shouldn't it be unlocked ??
Here is the ORDER LINK that does NOT say it is LOCKED .. If you began your order from there you never saw anything about LOCKED ... Couldn't you tell them UNLOCK MY PHONE NOW !!!
This was the second page .. still .. does not say ATT ONLY ... I got that order page from a Dell guy on Twitter ..
I think its still locked. I dont think Dell is legally obligated to spell out that the Streak is locked on every page. If it wasnt, it would be all over the net by now. Would be cool if it were true though. Try it and see
One more thing and I will shut up ..
I ordered from here - So did others that thought they were getting an unlocked phone for $549 ...
http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/mobile-streak?c=us&l=en&s=eep&cs=6099
There was another order link ... That was for the AT&T only people ..
http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/mobile-streak?c=us&l=en&s=dhs
OK .. I am done .. I have traded my AT&T locked Streak for an UNLOCKED Beta. I am happy. STILL .. I want to speak to Dell again .. I feel that they owe me ..

Why don't you just return it back to dell and either get your money back or a credit to use when they sell the unlocked version later this week, month or whenever. I have a Texas beta and ordered one of these for my son thinking it was unlocked. I am just going to call them on monday get an RMA and send it back. No Harm, No Foul. If you need an unlocked one right now go to Ebay...What special people do you mean? The people in Texas, or just random special people other than you?
#1 Why don't I get an RMA and send it back ?? I spent 3 hours on the phone today trying to get an RMA. After being on the phone for 40 minutes and then getting transferred to the FINAL person I needed to speak with about the RMA I was on hold for 7 minutes and it disconnected. When I called back and spent I don't know how long with them I got to the Sales Return Specialist .. She said someone will call me back and discuss this with me within 48 hours. You may find that hard to believe but you will see for yourself what it is like calling Dell for anything.
#2 Special People. Everyone got an email saying CLICK HERE to pre-order your Dell Streak. On that page it says the phone is locked to AT&T .. On Twitter someone posted a Pre-Order link .. A different one. When I showed that link to one of those "chat support" people I said .. Was I or was I not on a UNLOCKED Streak order page. He went from the beginning next >> next >>> to the end and he agreed. My phone should be UNLOCKED ordering from there.
So that has nothing to do with Dell putting a disclaimer on every page. That order link was for an unlocked phone ..
I told my friend with the Beta to hold off a bit .. I am either going to get a Dell UNLOCKED Streak, not Beta, or I am going to return my phone and forget it. That is if I can get an RMA number .. Good luck getting yours. And yes, I totally believe there are people who got unlocked phones .. but I was not one of them ..

About 10 minutes on the phone, RMA issued and Prepaid UPS shipping labels emailed to me so I do not have to pay for that! They tried to get me to keep it by giving me $50.00 back, but have Tmo so I said no go.
See No harm No foul...easy. Good Luck!
Just finished talking to someone name Shaquellar in the Dell Mobility department. She confirmed that the unlocked Streaks will be out this week and she also said "we don't have a way of giving you an unlock code today but we will a little later this week." maybe if enough people call and speak to them in DELL MOBILITY they will put a rush on it .. But you gotta get to the Mobility department .. sales or orders are NO HELP AT ALL.

I recently sold a metropcs andriod smartphone to an white man early today, he went to metropcs store and pay the $50 monthly bill to get the phone working. 2 hour later he called me and told me that metropcs internet is very slow and ask for his money back because he is very frustrated and angry. White man who is an AT&T iphone user and totally brainless about smartphone because the only phone he know how to used is a iphone. I told him no on the refund part, so he left some threatens voicemail that he going come to my house and do sh** to me, well he actually don't know where I live, he might go to metropcs store and get my address from them and come threatens me. Should I call the cops on his ass if he really do come and threatens me...lol..
Can anyone give me some inputs on this subject, the phone number that the white guy pay to activate is under my name, will he be able to obtain my information such as house address from metropcs? Will metropcs disclose my information to the white guy? if metropcs do disclose my information to the white guy and he came to my house to do whatever he say he was going to do to me then can I file a lawsuit and take metro to court for violating my right? I don't want to meet him again and give him a refund because he threatens me with some crazy voicemail..lol..

dude, wtf? is this a serious post?
There should be no reason any carrier can activate a phone under someone else's identity unless they have your permission, account info, etc. Did you sell someone an active phone?
If you are truly concerned with this and this is a real statement, then call Metro and have them cancel the account. If it is under your name, then you should have no issues doing so. Then have them remove your information from this account. You may have to do this yourself, I sold a phone under Virgin mobile and I called them and had them remove my info from the account. They may ask you if you are sure, lol but just say yes...
Dont ever sell an active phone...Always delete all personal information from the phone before selling it and reset it back to stock...

You are correct, you would need to purchase the device between January 4 and 17 to be eligible.

Whats sad about this.. If people wanted to be a real ass and stoop to low levels. Like most deals they go back during return times so people who just purchased are not short changed, well what happens is they could go back and do return and new purchase. This is why most deals like this go back past weeks to avoid store return periods. It would be dumb for people to do but yet some people would do it for spite to get a neyflix deal.
It seems prizelogic is running this promotion.
Good luck!
Where there is a will, there is a way.

What about Dev Edition?
Has anyone tried to register with the Dev Edition? When you register it asks for IMEI and Wireless MAC. I bought a couple of them and neither IMEIs are working. Comes back as invalid IMEI.

So how did you get them to approve you
Got a VZW Note4 on 1/4/15 and submitted it that night. On the 9th, I got an email saying they received my submission. Have not received the activation code yet though. The fine details at registration said it may take up to 3 weeks.
Finally got the Dev edition to register. It still said invalid. After getting this email response, I did as stated and it went through.
Thank you for your interest in the Netflix Gift With Purchase. If you are receiving an Invalid IMEI/ Serial Number message, please return to the site and enter your information again. If the error pops up and you believe your claim is valid, please close the error message, make sure your receipt is still in the uploaded field, and hit submit again. The next screen will tell you to verify your image. Select continue and your claim will be submitted. A confirmation screen and email will follow.

Just wonder what are you using as the receipt? The conformation email?
I just scanned the receipt that came in the box.
The note edge just dropped one verizon i know and i have already went in and played with a live demo. Phone isnt bad but isnt spectacular over my note 4. My question is now with the developer edition edge can the developers take advantage of root/recovery to really make the panel come to life??
here is link showing it is coming soon. also depends on price for me if it is cheaper then $799 i may pick one up
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-N915VMKEVZW
Might have to cancel my order at work for the regular note edge.
Or just buy it and sell if development takes off....
Argh decisions.
I think I'll buy one then just return it if Dev edition shows up quick enough.

No. The Dev Edition is meant for Developers and as such comes unlocked.
But having it wont provide clues as to how to gain root/bootloader access on a retail version.
Basically, if you want root/bootloader access, then you can either wait for the community to figure out how to crack it, else you can buy this version which is already unlocked.

Samsung's website only
me too!
I have also been checking the link, 3 times daily. I bought the retail version of the note edge and fell absolutely in love with the phone, but at the same time i could never own a phone that i cannot root. almost took the galaxy S4 back before i stumbled upon safestrap and hyperdrive. unfortunately i learned the hard way what taking OTA updates can do to your device, so i can no longer go back to the S4 when you could use CWM. I don't understand what Verizon's deal is, all the other note edges (except Verizon and AT&T) have already got root using CF auto root in Odin, but Verizon must think we are going to steal a trade secret or something and locks the bootloaders.... silly Verizon. i swear if another carrier would pop up in my area offering the same 4g speeds and an unlimited data package i'd switch in a heartbeat.
oops, sorry i rambled... subscribed to this thread, and checking the site thrice daily (more often on the days i don't work ^_^)

I've seen those they aren't the developer edition though. Those are non carrier specific models you can use with any carrier by swapping the Sim card. The developer edition is just the normal Verizon phone but with unlocked bootloaders so you could flash cwm or twrp without bricking the device

Yes i know. Verizon was listed at $799. Now the price is gone. Hopefully it doesn't get marked up and sold for a $1000 +.
How can I find out what LTE band Verizon runs on? Basically just want to see if this phone will work for Verizon users..

I ordered a Droid Turbo 2 from Motorola yesterday. Before that I searched on taobao.com( I think you guys should have heard of it) and found BL-unlocked Turbo 2 being sold.

I asked the seller about the bootloader thing and she told me that these phones were not unlocked by her. These phones came in with BL unlocked and she doesn't know how to unlock the bootloader.
So I assume that there's a way to unlock it and we just haven't find it, right?
We are ready to pay .. Of some one found the codes or method.. Last time we did the same in case of droid maxx by paying 45$ ..
If a method truly has been found that would be great, however there could be a not so great explanation as well:
1. Unlocked by a Motorola Employee using official software/hardware.
2. Fake Droid Turbo 2's. Someone mentioned that the price for these was pretty low, so its possible these are just knockoffs that are unlockable. I mean... You know.... China....
Still I hope its legit and the person is willing to sell the method, or perhaps reverse engineering the exploit would be possible even if unlikely.
I bet on #1 being the case.

Do they have Verizon Wireless in China? It is an exclusive VZW phone. If they do not have Verizon there then maybe its where it is built? If no to both it might be a fake. China is starting to get scarily good at knockoffs lately.
Droid turbo 2 is factory unlocked .. So it can use anywhere .. I'm using here in India with local CDMA / GSM networks .. So ..

We're talking about bootloader unlock, not SIM unlock...
So here's the deal. I'm willing to put up the cash to buy one cause the selling price is sort cheap. I'll pay via PayPal and so if it's scammy wammy timey wimey, I'll have buyer protection. My Chinese coworker can help me navigate the site tomorrow. Then after a billion years whatever it is will arrive here in NYC from China. Now, if, and that's a big If, if it's really a BLUL DT2, that will mean I have a second phone with an unlocked bootlader. I am the guy who googles for how to do basic stuff. Among my family I'm the tech guy, but were a family of artists. The last time I did any programming was basic on a PC in 1992, so, I have no means of transforming this hypothetical bootlader unlocked phone into an unlock/root method for the community. But I am willing to send the phone to someone less hopeless in this area then myself. Present thyself hero....

OK Google was giving me bad price translation. This is about $700.00 USD so legit price range, but realizing this its too much for me to risk the cash. I was thinking this was about $38 dollars US. Google converted for Japanese vs Chinese yen from USD and I didn't catch that first pass.

There is one option for $478, 32gb-unlocked but doesn't say if it's New, the other options are in like new condition.
Seems fishy.
Price is to low. And the pic they show is of a device made with moto maker. Im guessing knock off. The screen on that phone looks lower res. Could be the pic but it dont look right to me.
my guess is that these were internal development/test models. There are usually a few that leak out here and there from Motorola with every new phone release.
We can hope some one I'll unlock the bl
