Sorry to hear of your loss The refurbished phones I've received in the past have come in brown, generic looking boxes.
Not always the case. There are reports on xda that the refurbs that people have been getting have not been hardware locked. And even if it is there is a fix on the site for it. yep the best way to tell is when it comes in a brown generic box

It means that you cannot enter recovery/download mode using the hardware keys.

Don't take my word on it, but i think that when you call Asurion's for a replacement they send you a new one, and the replacements under warranty are refurbished.
With your new replacement you might want to be extra careful with it. I was told on a phone I had to replace that it would no longer be covered under manufacturers warranty through T-Mobile and if you ever had any problems you would have to go through Asurion for any replacement. This was a few years ago so I am not sure if it is correct still or not but I thought I would give you a heads up from what they told me when I replaced a phone.

New phones come in new boxes with the tape still on them, since they have never been opened. It'll still have all the factory packaging on them, etc.
If your phone is on backorder, then you have a 99% chance of getting a new phone (I got 2 brand new replacements ).
If not, then you have maybe a 50% chance of getting a brand new phone.
Maybe you'll be lucky and get the phone I just sent back. Only thing that was wrong is that I locked myself out of it (it was a brand new replacement, locked myself out the next day ). I did put the purple cover on it to keep the black one, though, and it was hardware-locked XD

This is true. When I locked myself out of the replacement, it was through Asurion.
And the phone was backordered, so I had to wait almost two weeks to get a replacement.
But it was a replacement phone. Came straight from the factory, pretty much, judging by the date on the box (dated 3 days before I recieved it).
Odd thing is for my first replacement, they were backordered, but I got the phone the next day.

Useless info, because the deductible depends on the phone type. TP2 is a cheap, old phone compared to the Vibrant.
The deductible for Vibrants and G2s is $130 US.
I stared getting some screen issues.. I'd boot the phone and it would vibrate and make the booting noise but nothing would appear on screen. Once it fully booted if i pressed the lock button a few times the screen would come on but with everything inverted and distorted (wish I'd a picture). Explained this to htc support and I eventually posted my phone to them. (they couldn't collect it after 3 weeks of "computer system errors, so they eventually told me to post it to them because they're system wouldn't accept my address) So now, 2 weeks later I get my phone back, still the same firmware version on it (which was untouched stock, no root or s-off) with the exact same issue. I checked the software version and they didn't even flash a new update to it, it still had the original 2.2. The warranty wasn't void because the sheet they sent back with it said the phone had been repaired, but not what they had done.
Do I send it again? wait what could be another month? I'm not looking of sympathy, I just want to know if anyone else has had similar issues. After spending 500 euro on a phone I'd like it to work
Call them up and *****, their service needs to up to par or beyond if they want to be able to charge that much for a phone. Have them send you a new one, and then you send yours.
Huh what t-mobile does is diffrent. They will send you a replacement then you just send you phone

Wow lol chill. That was my personal opinion. With t-mobile you call them if you call htc they will just say talk to your carrier. You want me to reword my self? Well just put I suggest you call your carrier they might be able to send you a replacment phone. So don't start triping haha wow

yeah I'm in Ireland, I bought it off a website off contract. I emailed the website just there to see if they'll send me a replacement. bleh
and at this point I might just call htc and *****, already spent like 2 hours on the phone to them over the last few week I'm almost friends with them now...
Just off the phone with htc, apparently the tick sheet with the phone info lost some details along the way. The problem on one sheet was that it was constantly rebooting, and on the other on it was display issues. So instead of fixing the display they replaced the motherboard and sent it back... they're collecting it again monday...

Those are both the same and yes the right one. Tools needed are a torx # 5 I think and a small phillips screwdriver. And I do this stuff a lot so I just had them. I'm sure you can find them any where locally. Its easy if you do this stuff a lot if not take your time and its not bad, just try and find a you tube video or something and pay close attention to what your doing

Okay I've been emailing a (very nice) HTC support thingy, and here's the reply:
Thank you for your reply.
I am sorry that your device is not in a perfect condition at this time. I would like to arrange for your phone to be repaired in our UK Repair Centre. Please read the following instructions carefully. By proceeding with the repair you agree to the terms and conditions of the repair service.
During repair, we will install the latest software as part of the diagnosis and testing. All the data from the phone will be lost, except for data stored on the SD card, SIM card, or online services, if applicable. If this is possible please check our online Help pages on how to backup your data.
Do not send the SD Memory Card, SIM Card, Battery, Back covers and other accessory items included or not in the product's box. All we need is the bare device. We can’t be held liable for any of these being sent in as they won’t be returned.
Package the device as you would like to receive it. In a good strong box with plenty of padding. You can use the original box, but it will not be returned to you. This information overrules the one in the repair tick-sheet instructions.
Should our engineers determine that the fault you are experiencing is caused by physical damage, wear and tear or illegal software, it will not be covered by warranty. Conditions of warranty also include warranty length terms from date of purchase. The repair will be chargeable and we will send you a quote. Should you not wish to pay that quote, there will be an approximate £25 diagnosis, shipping and handling fee to have the device returned to you and not repaired.
Liquid-damaged devices are returned immediately, unrepaired and without charge as they are beyond economic repair.
Your repair will take approximately 5 working days from when it arrives at the HTC Repair Centre and it's subject to parts availability.
So what do you think, send it to them (and how much you think it would cost? I've had it for a year & 2 months) , repair it myself or send it to a cheapo place? Thanks!

Today I sent my phone to HTC UK for repair after being stuck in a constant boot loop on the start up screen, recovery and bootloader.
I will update the thread when I here what HTC are going to do and the cost so should anyone else have to use HTC repair service in the UK they will have an idea what to expect.

from wat I read theres a certain order you have to follow in order to relock your bootloader, or else it causes a brick, either way once you unlock your BL, the warranty becomes invalidated from HTC if i recall, assuming the reason for the exchage/repair is related to an unlocked BL. Good luck with HTC, hope they replace the phone.

I took mine back mate, like I said, to Carphone Warehouse and I'd unlocked the bootloader, rooted and managed to wipe the OS off of the phone lol. I got a bit swipe happy in TWRP and before I knew it I was stuck on the HTC bootup screen. Being that there was no RUU available and not enough knowledge of adb, fastboot etc, I felt like crying but figured what's the worst Carphone Warehouse can say? No? ... Luckily they were sound and just swapped it straight over, I imagine because although I didn't know what to do, there was an easy fix to sort the phone out so it wasn't like I'd ****ed it haha
Good luck anyways, hopefully they just sort it for ya and at no cost ... Better still lol

I don't know how much you tried to fix it, but I've seen a lot of people fix this by side loading a rom, and erasing the cache, and sometimes formatting a partition. If you haven't tried that, it might work.

Thanks yes I did.
Good day guys, really need your help here!
Yesterday my D800 was doing just fine, until I start getting messages can't connect to the camera.
Wiping cash, fixing permissions through TWRP 2.6.3.4 didn't help much, so I decided to reinstall the rom (Rayglobe 3.2), did that many times with no issues, and I never had major problems with rom or phone in general. So...
Factory reset, installing rom, reboot... usual routine... clean flash and stuff... booting fine! next thing I know - my phone starts to reboot every minute or so!
reboot - didn't helped. reinstalling rom again - didn't helped... phone booting fine but then starts rebooting every minute, doesnt matter if you do anything or not.
I thought it's recovery issue because before 2.6.3.4 I was using 2.6.3.2 with no problems.
So, to save some time in a long run I thought I'm just gonna restore the phone through LGFlash Tool, cuz I did that before after bootlooping on CM rom.
So I went to flashtool, and restored original at&t rom with no problems. Guess what happen after?
phone boots fine and I'm getting every minute reboots AGAIN.:silly:
At that moment, after trying flashtool one more time and wiping with the same result I realized that I have a problem on a different level.
I'm trying to solve this without success so far. Current state - phone unrooted (as shown in download mode), and I can't even root it cuz it reboots before I root process ends in adb. and reboots and reboots and reboots... and boots fine and fast every time.
Another part of the problem - my IMEI became null. not sure when that happen exactly
Hope there is a solution. Download mode works fine, but I have no custom recovery obviously.
anybody? my phone is a brick:crying:
Sounds like a hardware failure.

great...:crying:
Certainly sounds like a hardware failure.
Best advice I can give would be to flash back to stock and try and get the device exchanged.
Can you grab a log of the reboot? Might give us a better idea of what the problem might be.
Thanks guys I will try to grab a log.
UPDATE!
I was able to root and flash CMW!!! (believe it or not I did that very quick between reboots LOL)
where should I go from here now....

Is everything still FC? Are you still under warranty? If everything fails and theres nothing you can do, I would honestly use this as a last resort. throw the phone in the microwave for 15 seconds make sure its inoperable and go get it exchanged for a new one.
On the other hand if its working, then I think the guys are right and you have a hardware issue where either way your best bet is to get get it exchanged.

Idk maybe try a random new ROM to flash and see? Since you got it through craigslist maybe it had water damage and messed some stuff up.....sounds like ROM related though that's why maybe try random Roms...since a lot for your carrier anyways Instead of rayglobe
The d800 is att branded correct? If it is and you are an att customer the factory 1 year warranty is still valid even if you are not the original owner. Call att and go through tech support for a replacement.

Where did you get that info from. That's not att's warranty policy.

First, determine if your device is within the warranty coverage period:
New device: Warranty coverage is 15 to 365 days from date of purchase.
AT&T Certified Like-New device: Warranty coverage is 15 to 90 days from date of purchase.
Device within warranty coverage period
Here's how you exchange your device under warranty:
Over-the-phone: Contact the Warranty Service Center at 800.801.1101.
In-person: Check our Device Support Center locations to see if we can provide you with same-day, face-to-face technical and warranty support.
Online: If you have a non-smartphone (feature phone), log in and follow the steps to determine if you're eligible for an online exchange.
This is from att website. If you call the phone number and give them the imei they will ship you the replacement g2. With it will be a return envelope for the defective phone. That is all you need to do. I have used it before on a phone bought from craigslist.
