Hi,
i'm going to purchase the SII from a friend of mine.
The problem is that this friend of mine is not such a good guy P) and there's the possibility that this phone was stolen.
If so, is there the possibility that someone (maybe the precedent owner or Samsung itself) lock the phone with imei-code?
Is possibly to use this phone with no worries?
Thx (sallusti)

Simple answer do not buy the phone then if you think it's stolen and you won't get anyone here telling you to break the law in accepting stolen goods.

I agree,
Also if the original owner blocks the imei your phone will be useless unless you move to another country:/

Yes. If reported, the phone will be internationally blocked using the imei code.
In any case, don't support this guys bad behaviour. You pay him and he'll do it again. If you buy it, you're scum like him. I've been mugged and beaten up. Absolutely horrible.

right!
but what if the phone have no precedent owner?
what if the phone (many phones) fell down from a delivery truck?
could Samsung block the phone with imei? Does Samsung know imei of each products?
Like everyone else says, dont buy it if you think its stolen. You could always ask him if you can check if the phone has been reported stolen If he seems reluctant then you have your answer

No matter what the reason or how they where obtained you would still be accepting stolen goods and yes Samsung could work out the shipment which was stolen and block every imei number rendering your phone useless.
Seriously dude don't waste your money on stolen goods do the right thing and buy legit.
If however you do go down this road then NO ONE will help you if your imei gets blocked at a future date as it's highly illegal to even try to change it.

I wonder what this will do to the orice of unlocked phones on the internet, maybe we can benifit from price drops, what do u guys think?
For a short time I'm sure popular models that are already unlocked will sell at a premium used but since the tech moves so fast it won't be long before phones like the the Nexus 4 and newer cheap(er) pre-unlocked phones drive down that price.

I may be wrong ( good chance I am) but I believe this is for new phones that are bought discounted for new contract or extension since in a way until that contract is up the carrier owns that phone. Just like you don't own your home until your mortgage is paid off. Not saying I agree with the new law in any way.
If the owner is willing, they're allowed to call up their carrier and ask for the unlock code. As long as the person you buy from doesn't care and has had the phone for a while, there's no problem.
I don't think it's illegal, but you will certainly avoid your warranty.

Not exactly something to brag about...
I bought a phone from craigalist. The seller mentioned that it was Tmobile nexus 4 but now bad imei. I bought it knowing it was bad on tmobile. But it doesn't even work with att sim as well. Are they now sharing black listed phone among each other. Anyway I bought it for international use but just wondering if something else might not be wrong besides being bad imei on network. Thanks

If I put Tmobile sim. It comes as Tmobile APN automatically. And when I put att sim. It comes as att automatically. But I though APN was just for data. I have no bars and not connected to network. I don't want to send phone international and that thing is got something else wrong.

If the phone is blacklisted by TMo it won't work on any network in the US as they started sharing blacklisted IMEI's to a central database in 2012.

I don't know what the laws are in the US, but in most countries if you try to sell a stolen object knowing that it was stolen from its rightful owner, it's a criminal offence even if you paid for it. So OP will never be able to sell his phone. Secondly, if the police ever do show up, OP will have to hand the phone over without receiving any sort of compensation.
Since the description didn't mention the phone being stolen, can't OP request a refund for the phone from his credit card company (or whatever payment method he used)?

I've never met anyone on Craigslist who took credit cards. The phone could have been reported lost or stolen to TMo which would then put it on the blacklist. But also I could see where that if you stopped paying your TMo bill before the end of your contract, which the handset is a part of as its subsidized, TMo would blacklist it as in effect it is now a stolen phone.

It all depends on how you bought it. If you paid cash, you might be out of luck. If you used a credit or debit card, then perhaps your provider offers some kind of refund policy. If it was PayPal, then you can likely get the refund.
Bummer...hope you used PayPal.

Lol sorry guys i probably shouldve added more details..
Ok.. Heres the story... Transaction took place on Craigslist..
So I had a blue color galaxy S3 and didnt like the color, traded it for a new nexus 4.. Nexus 4 was fine, and I was really wanting a titanium S3.. Found the S3 and bought it.. Sold the nexus 4 to a guy for 310.. The nexus 4 was working great until yesterday.. Guy calls me up thinking i sold him a stolen phone.. As far as I knew it was a good phone, i check the imei and it says its been reported stolen, so i offer to give the guy back his money.. Now im stuck with a blacklisted N4.. Need help. Anywhere I can go to revive the phone? Or anywhere I can sell it to? What are my options? Is it possible to flash a ROM or do something when rooted to change the Imei..? At least make it useable because the guy i originally traded with decided to change his number and now im out $310.. whats the best thing to do? I cant go to the cops, they will tell me im associated with the theft, asked tmobile they want to fill out a bull**** report..
is there a way to flash a Rom or something to maybe hide the Imei or something? Use a different carrier? unlock it even though its unlocked?
Or should i get my mini screw drivers and start to disassemble it to sell for parts? Man i feel ****ty doing this.. I mean im so against stolen things and i just hate to deal with it ugh

You can buy stuff off of CL, but you have to be smart. I've bought dozens of phones off CL (and sold) and was only burned once. I bought an Atrix 4G with a wonky touch screen. Actually, I bought an EVO 4G with a wonky touch screen too but that was just my fault, I showed up to meet the guy a little intoxicated lol. Anyway, when I bought my Nexus 4 (new) I had the guy bring the receipt from Google Play and give it to me. I also asked a lot of questions....

Those are both rather silly remarks.
You're a victim, why would the police be anything but sympathetic to you? And it's not a bs report, it's a report detailing the crime. Maybe they can track the original scammer down with that report. Maybe your insurance co will reimburse you with that report. Don't lose whatever small chance you have by being too lazy to fill out some paperwork.

If this helps... I'm from Belgium and I bought my phone off someone from England.
Got a pretty good deal too (as it was new)
The catch was that it was blacklisted too...he sent me the reportcard and apparantly that stated that it was only blocked by 2 providers. None of which I am using.
So maybe switching providers could work OR since Belgium has no (or nearly no) providers linked to the phones as they don't come in deals the phone just works, blacklisted or not. So try selling it abroad and buy buy yourself a new one.
I doubt that you can unblock it.
Is it blacklisted by T-mobile or Google? If it is blacklisted by T-mobile it should work on AT&T and it will definitely work overseas.

The database is launched, but the carriers are not sharing IMEI's yet. Bad ESN Verizon phones work on other carriers and blocked T-mobile or AT&T phones will still work on the others network. The thing is, not only does the IMEI have to be entered into the database, but the carrier manually has to apply that to their own database to effectively block it from their network.
And, a blacklisted phone will most definitely work overseas.

The problem you're facing that you don't realize yet is that the IMEI could be good on the device now, but be blasklisted later after you buy it.
The scam is that a guy buys a phone on a post paid plan, makes the $99 down payment or whatever he has to in order to get it out of the store,buys the insurance protection against it, then sells you his phone.
A month later he reports his S4 stolen, the carrier blacklists what is now your device, and the insurance company sends him a new one for the $150 deductable or whatever the case is. All told he spends about $275 in up front costs and deductables and gets a brand new S4 worth $600. And you get screwed.
So be VERY careful buying a phone that could still be under warrenty.
..........also who doesnt keep the box and receipt.

I've had people do me dirtyy. Even my own family members. But guess what? It didn't go good for them, yet I still help them out lol... Karma is a B and that dude who sold you the phone will get what's coming to him. What sucks is having to go through all this.

Jesús, sounds like someone with good credit just screwed up for the rest of there are! 6K in dept is phewww ??? everyone has dept.. I'm glad I don't have no student loans or crap [emoji2] + I'm smart with money I make less than anyone in my job, yet I'm the one that it shows I make more lol. It's all about how you are with money, if you've went through depression and anxiety. It helps your mind. completely off topic lol
