Repairing a Tmobile G1 from htc

Hello Everyone,
I got a second hand G1 from craigslist. I dont know how old it is or what. I have att as my carrier and I called tmobile from my company phone to get it unlocked. But if I need repair I know ATT wont do it! But will htc do it? Also can I get them to send me a dream like the ones in canada? Please let me know.
Thank You

the g1 was released on oct 22, 2008....so you have 9 days atleast to get it fixed
call them and tell them its broken. they will fix it. however, after 1 year, the warranty expires

[Q] A Quick Question

Im not sure where to find the answer to this.
I work in a Verizon Wireless store and a young kid came in and asked me a few questions about his new Droid X. After answering them he says thanks and hands me a perfectly good Mytouch 4G and asks me if he can donate it. I do the right thing and tell him that it's worth some good money and he should put it on Ebay. He says he doesn't know how to do all that Ebay stuff, and that if i do, I can have the phone. I have tried looking up the IMEI on the stolen list and it says that it is not reported stolen. If I sell it on Ebay, and it turns out to be stolen, How can they find out, and what can I do to prevent this from blowing up in my face? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Call T-Mobile tell them a friend gave you a mytouch 4g and you are interested in activating it but do not know if it tied to somebodies account or possibly stolen. I have done it before. I also work for verizon. I have received an evo, nexus one, x10, and a few arias.

Sounds like a good plan, I'll try that in the AM. Thanks

Lol can't believe that, if I were a kid I'd craigslist it I know i was always starved for cash when I was not just givin' away $400 phones...kids these days

Unlocked my Wildfire (original)

Hey guys
Even though I am not exactly new here (I have been lurking for quite a while lol), this is my first post.
Couple of years back I got an original HTC Wildfire on Virgin Mobile, even though the phone didn't live up to expectations, as I was on a contract I stuck with it those two years. This past August my contract was up and I took the chance to jump ship over to T-Mobile and got myself a Samsung Galaxy S3!
Anyway, I decided to wipe the Wildfire and gave it to my girlfriend, got her a SIM only contract on T-Mobile and thought weyhey, all set. I'm happy with my new phone and she is happy with her Wildfire Result!
Only it wasn't quite a result, I found out shortly after that the SIM wouldn't work on the phone as it was still locked to Virgin :/ I contacted Virgin and they really weren't very helpful, which in my experience is pretty much how Virgin have always treated me :/ I contacted them before about the phone screen dying 6 months after getting the phone and they didn't want to help at all, luckily HTC fixed it for me for free Anyway I digress...
So I started looking on here to see how I would go about obtaining the "SIM Network Unlock Code"... After looking through a few posts, I decided to give htccode.com a try after one of your members mentioned it (leetvtr) - they looked the most professional... and I have to admit they kept to what their site said.
Within about 10 minutes of payment, I had my code, entered it and bam... phone is unlocked and works with the T-Mobile SIM
Now, this isn't about me trying to sell the service to you, I am not getting anything out of this. I am just pleased with the service I got from those guys, and wanted to say if anyone out there is in a similar situation and needs a SIM Network Unlock Code fast for their Wildfire in the UK, they seem to work wonders.
So +1 for HTCCode.com
Anyway, I hope you be more active on these forums now
Cheers guys

Move Sprint S5 to Ting, Boostmobile...Sprint MNVO...

Hi all!
Let me say this right now...when it comes to Cell phones I am the capital "N" in Noob!
Here is what I'm trying to do:
I just bought a brand new S5 from Best Buy. Paid $800 for the Sprint S5 because we use Ting and that is a Sprint MNVO...we saw S5s' on their site and assumed we could BYOD over like we did with our 3 previous phones. We paid what we did and used Best Buy so we could use our credit card and absorb the painfully expensive hit over a bunch of months. Anyway, I digress....apparently there is a contract that Ting cannot BYOD device if said device is newer than a year....so....what do I need to do to take this brand new Sprint S5 and get it on to Ting? (I'll even take getting it on to Boostmobile at this point)
What do I need to unlock or root or flash...or whatever to get this fantastic new phone on either Ting or Boostmobile? IS there anything I can do? Can someone help?? My wife (her phone) is extremely unhappy and she loves the copper gold color we got so taking it back is, hopefully, not an option. Let me know...I would greatly appreciate it...thanks!!!! PS...I do have the MLS code...if that helps.

All of Sprints MNVO's have this policy/agreement with Sprint. Short of changing the MEID which is not only illegal, but apparently renders the phone unable to get a signal, theres really no options i know of at the moment other than waiting out the year or selling the device and possibly taking a hit on the price. Too bad you cant use it on a GSM network, but thats not a option currently either. I seem to remember the wait being 2 years a few years back, thankfully its only 12 months now.
I wish you luck, but i fear there may be little or nothing you can do short of selling or waiting out the year

xt2 att

Hi everyone. I have a question that pertains to my att servjce and a unregistered imei . So i traded a friend of mine an iphone 5 for his XT2. AT&T. He has cricket and had no problems with the phone or the. service . I however have att and about 6 hours after getting the phone and putting my sim card in it att shuts off my line. Turns out the phone was never rang up at the register. So the imei os unregistered i guess? Is there any way at all i can get past this and use my phone. Via settings database editor. Xposed apps or mods. Anything??!!?

Probably not what you want to hear but...
There is an entire conversation in the XT2 SD thread that discusses this very issue. you will need the original receipt to prove you/your friend purchased the phone to show at&t and they will remove the phone from blacklist, i have not read any other info pertaining to a workaround.
Maybe someone else have some additional incite.
Good luck,

thats what at&t was saying as well. but i am sure there has got to be a way. people end up with phones that have bad imei's all the time.. i understand this is a slightly situation because the phone was assumingly never purchased from the store.. but not really. either way the point is to get it to where atts systems cannot detect that i am using this phone... so i assume there has to be a solution.
maybe im wrong in believing people can get past bad imei's. thank you tho.. hopefully your wrong i hate iphones so i traded a 6s for this
thanks again.

easiest solution go to Walmart buy an xt2 ($69)
sell the one you have to a cricket customer
If you really can't afford the $69 you could return the bad phone to Walmart for a refund (it's actually their fault the IMEI is not registered)
it's not the most honest thing to do, but it would work.

Wow your right. The people at at&t were talking toe like i stole it from walmart or something. They had my phone line completely
suspended

I had the same problem a year or so ago with the H1611, I got it online and it was never correctly rang out.

Yeah. I disabled everything att related and removed all the permissions and its been two whole days. Im pretty sure if they could read the imei my service wouldve already been suspended again. Ill remove this now.
