[SELL] HTC Wildfire (EU-Germany) LOOK!

Hello everybody,
I'm selling my HTC Wildfire, which I bought from big well known online warehouse, because I really can't stand that I can't root it and I really can't stand gooogle anymore to be honest.
The phone is only about 2 months old, has only a little scratch on the camera which can only be seen when looking closely on it.
The phone is from a French seller, on a big well known online warehouse, it has these Languages:
-German
-English
-French
It runs on Android 2.2.1 with the latest H-BOOT, which is unrootable atm.
Yes, this phone is S-ON, Yes it's unrooted, No, you can't root it without S-OFF'ing it first. Simply don't ask if I can do it, because I can't.
You get all the normal equippment (2GB SD-Card, Earphones (unused), Manuals, Battery, Phone, Backpart of the Phone) which was shipped with it, no extras, the phone itself and of course the bill.
I guess we do the deal over an well known auctionsite so nobody can say that he was scammed.
Price: 200 Euro + Shipping otherwise I'm willing to trade this Phone in for a Sony Ericsson Vivaz, which has no or very less damages on the out/inside, which also works in Germany it should have German language too otherwise I would also accept a Sony Ericsson W995 with the same quality as described above.
contact: via email (htcwildfiresell @ huuushmail.com [DOT] com) (just write it with one u instand of 3)
Yours truly

You would have a better chance of selling it by posting in the Marketplace Forum. Just letting you know.

Hello,
thanks, you are obviously right, haven't seen it
//EDIT: Could a nic emoderator please move it to the marketplace, I would be very grateful!

[Q] Which rom to use for a warranty return?

Hi folks,
I own a Galaxy S with a Cyanogenmod9 ICS ROM (which is amazing and works like a charm, by the way)
The phone is now 1 1/2 year old ans shows a massive burn in that's even visible in normal usage.
I called Samsung for a repair and they told me they will do it.
Now my question is: Which ROM should I flash before sending the device into repair. There are so many official and unofficial kernels around and I lost track of.
Another issue: F***ing Amazon sold me some eastern European model instead of a German one (forgot the exact country), so the newest ROM for Germany might not be apply to my device as it may be not yes available in eastern Europe.
I don't want Samsung to tell me I fiddled around with the ROMs and refusing the warranty.
Maybe a not so recent ROM would be the best!?
Thanks for any answer and thanks to the Cyanogenmod team for their great work.
Paul

[Q] S5 vs S5 Plus (SM-G901F), Worth the wait?

Hey,
I want to buy a new device.
Most likely the S5 Plus, however It's not released yet in my country.
Neither do I know if it's gonna be released soon.
Does somebody know when it's officially coming to Europe? (Netherlands)
Greetings,
Meltina

it is already on sale in France
and there's some firmware available for netherland @ sammobile (vodafone ,t-mobile and PHN firmware !?)

S5 plus is worth waiting... i would spend a fortune for it but its not available here

Better CPU, and better LTE .. Don't think that's a lot to wait for though?
Would rather get pay a bit more and get note 4?

Hi. You can buy it also in Germany. Dont know where you live in the Netherland, but Nordhorn is directly by the border. You can get it there. Cheers

I would wait for the S6 by now. If you are a rooter you might wait for ever for proper tools. That happened to me with S4 4G version

I dislike QHD ;w;
More of an performance guy.

you can root g901f and there's one custom rom and one cwm based recovery

Hi. S6, Note4, Z3....all are maybe better....but also a bit greater. I have big hands but 5.1 or 5.2 i for me not easy to handle with hand.

I got it via Marktplaats (should ring a bell for you)
Rooted it, put CWM on it
Mine came with some T Mobile rom, I downloaded a Vodafone NL rom for it, flashed it with Odin, and that didn't have any branding
I did however remove some bloat apps, and even if you can't uninstall them you can still hide them
Send me a PM if you need help

Would you buy it now?

I'm looking to change my iphone 5c. I know the performance of the two phones is almost the same.
This would be my first Samsung. I'm a bit scared of switching because friends of mine had S4 (not mini) variants with major issues including replacement of mainboard).
The reason I am looking at this phone is that I want something with more freedom and future proofing ( removable battery, sdcard, nfc, IR ) and a bigger screen, while being around the $150-$200 price range
So:
Would anyone recommend buying it today?
Has anyone used this phone more than a year or two? I'm looking for a phone to last me at least 2-3 years, as I don't change them that often.
How is the rom availability and performance and stability of the available custom roms?

1) If you want it new, sure. But if you are going to buy it second hand, I would try and get a more recent flagship, something like S5 or G2-G3.
2) I got mine new in november 2014. used it for a year and a few months now. No problems for me.
3) The GT-I9505 variant has the best development support. If you are going to get an S4, get the GT-I9505. Avoid getting any rebranded models. Carriers like Verizon and Sprint rebrand their phones. Verizon even locks the bootloader, making flashing roms a nightmare.

do they have such a thing as shops that sell 2nd hand phones where you are ? I think you would stepping down from a 5c to an S4, you could probably pick up a really good 2nd hand android that meets most of your requirements and buy a new battery.
it's an OK phone but I wouldn't buy it again today given the choice.
the Qualcomm i9505 version has pretty decent rom kernel and mod support, but that is dwindling a little with developers moving on...

[Q] Buy S4 today?

Hello,
I am considering if I should buy new S4 costs 200 € or if i should choose another one and spend few tens of bucks to xperia z2, lg g3 or something else?
S4 is nowadays quite old phone but still as good or better as newer ones at same price.
What do advice me you who probably own this phone?
Now I have xperia Z which i am going to give my wife. I dont need big upgrade maybe just camera and display, but in build quality I will definitely downgrade with it wont I?

Buy Note 4 or S5 or Nexus 5/5X. S4 is only good if you run custom rom, but its showing age

The S4 (the GT-I9505 model specifically) can still handle anything you throw at it pretty well.
And rom development is still strong.
And I don't think Samsung became the top smartphone manufacturer for nothing.
