Hi,Im moving over here from the x10 forums.Basically I bought a s2 second hand and it looked like it was blacklisted on UK networks-so I stripped it down and smashed up the screen.
If anyone wants the motherboard they can have it.I have ordered a new s2 for £450 and am getting it soon .
If my post is against the rules feel free to remove.

Hi, I'd be interested in it if you still got it, I'm one of the ones who bricked their phones last Sunday.
Yes,its sitting here.I rooted it with doomlords rooting kit,then used that sim unlock stuff by herzlol-then I found out it was blacklisted.Everything else seemed to work though,and Im presuming it will make/receive calls in any country outside UK.
Just pm your details and Ill post it in a week or so....

Galaxy S III gets announced next week, should have waited for that
even if you disassemble it, the parts are still stolen
if the phone's imie was blacklisted, the network surely most know to whom that phone belonged, the motherboard and all the money you make from selling these parts belong to the owner (or insurance company if it was insured), you should have returned it

It depends on all the facts.Theres loads on eBay about phones "only makes emergency calls/doesnt make or receive calls"-they all wont have antenna problems.
I am not selling anything,I am out of pocket(for services rendered plus cash) for the phone,and the postage to Roger.Im guessing the phone was blacklisted but Ive not checked-its just it couldnt make calls.
Ive known people "pretend" that their phone was lost/stolen,so its the buyer and insurance company that are ripped off.
I get phones offered to me all the time,and as far as Im aware,if I do a service and accept a phone as a "guarantee of payment" and people dont come back,I dont think its my fault if they have stolen it from someone else/pretended they have lost it or had it stolen.
I do see what you mean,but nobody I know has ever "bought" something 2nd hand then went straight to the Police or an Insurance Company to ask if its stolen or not.

Can be, I had my touchscreen not working when i flashed a 800mv kernel from intersect raven (test build i suppose its in his mediafire directory)
But if he had done something like that he also would know how to fix it.
Just my though
i'd be careful it might be the broken one i sold to someone in Florida on ebay. he bought it knowing it had a broken touchscreen and a really jacked up sim card socket. i bought it off someone else on e-bay to fix it and that guy failed to report that it had damage from the sim socket being pryed on by a screw driver. i got a partial refund from the seller and sold it for less than i paid for it but ended up breaking even due to the partial refund i got from the original seller.
if your interested in this phone have the guy take a photo of the back of the phone if there is a dent/damage to the metal loop on the back of the phone on the right side where the sim socket it its the same phone i had.
OK cool I see if I can get him to send me a pic.

Hi everyone, I purchased a used Atrix not long ago for cheap and everything works fine with it but the exterior is kind of scratched up. I was wondering if anyone has had theirs apart to replace parts and if anyone knows where they sell the exterior shell? Thanks guys!
I have torn apart a few Atrixes to clean them and to replace some parts.
Pretty straightforward process.
You can find parts at cnn.cn website.
Google the Atrix disassembly guide. (sorry, I don't have the guide url handy)

I have to do this because I dropped the poor thing in water. I quickly pulled the battery but it has minor hangups (lucky). Major hang up is that headset does not work anymore. I want to warranty and need to change the humidity strip. I will open it but the question is. Is there a deal I have to look out for? Sticker that will break when open maybe? Will att know that it was open thus voiding my warranty and worsev warranting an att FU?

Att uses a 3 tier program. Tier 1 devices are $50, Tier 2 are $150 and Tier 3 are $200. Atrix is a tier 3 device. So would the iphone 4s, galaxy s or any high end phone.
Its almost not worth buying the insurance. You can save yourself $7 a month and if it breaks buy a used one for around $200-$250 anyways.
But if its not physical damage or water damage att will replace it for free at a local service center in the same visit. I did this as my call speaker broke.

The rear camera on this should be extremely easy to replace. You'll just have to wait a few more weeks until that part begins to make it's way out to us. You should be able to make the phone look just like new and it shouldn't cost more than $40 including tools.

Hi Guys Need you advice.
I bought new samsung galaxy s3 from Gumtree guy sold it for £350. It was advertised that its unlocked on all networks. When I bought it of him it was working on Vodaphone. I rang orange to get microsim which arrived 3 days ago. I waited for text message for new sim but no message arrived after 24 hours so i rang orange asked why sim isnt active. Orange asked me for phone IMEI number which i provided found out that phone is blacklisted.
when i bought the phone guy said that he has reciept upon receiving the phone he said its at home but will give it tomorrow. So i took his pictures on Galaxy S2, made him sign the agreement and recorded him. I also took picture of gumtree ad and have his IMEI number. I rang the guy yesterday after orange telling me its blacklisted to say why did you sell me lost/stolen phone he said he will speak to vodaphone and see they can unblock it (strange). He rang after couple of minutes later said phone wont work on orange network only on vodaphone and offered me refund straightaway. At this point all i wanted was money back and then report him.
I got the refund now but asked him why he tried selling contract lost phone to me. He said he had previous phone stolen so they sent him new phone which he sold to me at point of sale he did not say he has on contract. I think he tried to scam me but i had all the proof to proof he sold me lost phone which he tried to do insurance scam.
I rang Vodafone to tell them what happened girl said all they can do is blacklist the phone (call center i rang was in Egypt) noting she can do. So i rang sales team who put me through to Customer services in uk i told them the same story but he said call in the morning system is playing up.
I have now bought sim free from carphonewarehouse today for £495
What do u guys suggest about this should i report him again and leave him to scam others (which i do not want) i dont want to go through hassell if its too much.
What would you guys do in this situation,.
Sorry about grammar and English
First of all I would report him to Gumtree to stop him from scamming anyone else on there.

Secondly if you can find the network that blocked the phone it might be worth asking them your options if any to remove block.

Thats bollocks.
The device IMEI is unique across all devices, including replacements for stolen devices. So if it is blacklisted, that (usually) means it got stolen and has been blocked due to a police-report by the victim.

Could you post details of where you met up or what he looks like? I just had my S3 stolen yesterday and I think I may have a rough idea of several people it could have been who pick pocketed me. It's gutting, but I just want to get to the bottom of it now.
I'm going to have the IMEI blacklisted tomorrow, but ideally I wish I could just get the phone back. I'd even have been happy to buy it back off him but whoever took it has turned it off and I'm stuffed.
Any help would be much appreciated.
The guy offered you a refund and apologies to you. Then he gave you the money and sort the problem! I think its an honest mistake which could happen to anyone (but the phone working on Vodafone does not seems to be blacklisted, otherwise it would not work on vodafone as well.) Just avoid buying these kind of things of gumtree in the future, or ask for a prof of purchase

Let's theorize that it was stolen. Two scenarios are possible:
a) he didn't know it was stolen and bought it from someone else too
b) he knew it was stolen but didn't want OP to go to the police so he just refunded the money. OP stated he had his voice and picture on record, so he might have panicked when he was confronted with the fact that the buyer knew it was stolen.
Yeah I have my doubts too of Gumtree... However I did buy this new One X there for a little cheaper than the shops, but it was a sealed one... I don't buy opened phones...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Even if it was a scam, the intended victim wasn't you, or he wouldn't have refunded the money.
The victim in the this case is probably Vodafone or a third-party insurance company, and if they don't care enough to do anything about it... well then they have no one to blame but themselves.
He wouldn't have let you see his face if he was going to scam you: even someone who doesn't understand what blacklisting is, would just assume the phone was defective and attempt to get a refund anyway.
When I buy a phone off Gumtree, I test everything before I hand over any money. I always do a IMEI check as well to make sure it is not blacklisted and I find out who's name the phone is registered in. These are the steps everyone should make when buying a pre owned phone.
Sent from my SGS3 on Omega v9.0 using XDA Premium
I agree with others, if he wasintending to scam you, you would never got a refund that's how scammers work. I believe it was either an honest mistake or an insurance scam, not an intention to scam you.

He clearly tried to scam me but I took his picture, got him recorded, voice recording of him talking to me about the phone. He only refunded me because I had evidence that he sold me the phone.

I'm surprised by how many S3's are for sale on Gumtree, many state that they are sealed in the box ?
is there another scam or something that they maybe selling stolen from shops warehouses etc that would allow this ?
ie they may work for a while but then are blacklisted and become useless ?

So, it happened to me. Just my luck.
Was at university walking and the phone slipped from my hand onto the floor. It seemed to have survived that fairly well. Then it slid off the stairs (no barrier at the edge of the staircase going up my university) and fell about 8-10 feet onto the stair case below. Screen is ruined and unresponsive.
The phone is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader so I know this voids the warranty but I can lock the bootloader again and flash the phone back to the stock rom via cwm.
I bought the phone from Carphone Warehouse for £400 back in December because I couldn't wait and now I'm left with a brick. I need a phone to handle uni life and contact my fianceé in the States. I don't really want to have to spend money I don't have on a replacement N4 so is there anything I can do guys?
Any help at all will be extremely appreciated.
(I'd post a link to an image of the screen but cannot do so yet).
Thanks
Sorry to hear that, however the only option I think would've been better if you had phone insurance and it would replace your damaged phone and it would cost like 5 pounds a month. On the other hand maybe you can send it to Carphonewarehouse and see what the estimate is to get it repaired. Don't think rooted or not makes much difference in this situation.
Anyway good luck and hope you find some solution

The only cheap way is to repair it yourself. If the mainboard is ok, get a new front and back panel. From the teardown I've seen of the Nexus 4, it doesn't seem that difficult. I'm sure there is a vid on youtube you can use as guide. If you can't do it yourself, a new phone seems to be the only option. At least it will be cheaper this time... Did you have a case on it when it dropped?

See that seems doable but the only problem is is the (is it aluminium?) that goes around the phone also got dented as it fell. This is even worse considering I actually DID have a case on it. I was using the Ringke Slim case. If anybody is using this case I highly recommend them to rethink their purchase because even though the phone hit the floor side on, it didn't protect it. Imagine if it hit face down. I have another generic 'S' silicone case from eBay and that would have done a far better job at protecting the sides. Shoulda, woulda, coulda eh?
Im wondering if LG's manufacture warranty will work in my favour at all? I just don't have the funds to replace the phone comfortably but that's the only option I see unfortunately.
I don't think you'll have any luck with warranty repair. Sorry about your phone though.

Sell the phone for parts? How would that work? Im not very savvy with this side of phones. Do I sell the phone in its entirety to a company who buys things like that? Sell on eBay for really cheap trying to get whatever I can get?

I disagree. The only cheap way to do it is via insurance, 50 quid excess or whatever is a lot cheaper than the 150 pound screen is going to cost.
