Looking to buy bricked phones.. Just cracked the screen on mine and looming to do just a screen swap.. Figured it may be better to try to by bricked phones as opposed to brand new parts cause I would replace the whole digitizer sense I don't trust myself in not breaking the original one

Is there a forum specifically for selling my Hermes? I have changed phones and have no use for it any longer.

Hello,
No, we don't have a forum for selling phones. A couple reasons is because it would more than likely become a breeding ground for spam and fraud.
That being said, we do "allow" some more senior members with a trusted history on the forum to sell off their device if they're moving on or upgrading to a different device.
Your best bet may be eBay or something more local.
Good luck!
Theres HowardForums, but I've never understood thier over the top prices. Who would pay $500 for a Wizard when they go for $120-$180 on Ebay?
I'd suggest Ebay or Craigslist. I've had a lot of good luck with Craigslist, but then again, I live near a college campus, so the risk of scams are hard when you have plenty of traffic/witnesses around.
how much?
how much you looking to sell you 8525 for. pm to let me know we can work something out
I was hoping for a "for sale" forum as well.
I purchased my 8525 from ebay & it constantly goes to a white screen.
Luckily - the seller agreed to a full refund.
I was told from a guru on this site that it is prob best to stay away from ebay for these phones so I was hopingto find a reputable seller over here.
Anyone wantingto sell an 8525?

I have a well taken care of Tmobile wing for sale. It's in perfect condition as I have a BRAND new full outer case for it (replaces front and back covers as well as frame and pretty much everything you can see when the phone is closed except the screen). It's in 9.75/10 condition. I just got a Tilt/Kaiser so I don't need it anymore. I'd love to sell to a fellow XDA member as I loath EBAY and would rather not sell on there. I am a paypal verified seller with a rating of 500++ transactions. Pics available upon request.
I can revert to Tmo ROM or flash with any rom you want upon request. Currently you can see the rom it's flashed with in my sig.
Asking $275+shipping.
My email is josh.decker AT gmail dot com
i think you have this site confused with eBay
indeed. while we are partial to turning a blind eye to senior members selling the occasional old device, very new members doing so are not appreciated and tolerated.
Accept the hypocrisy inherent in the system. It prevents scammers

He probably invalidated his IMEI.
You are also deceiving people on eBay by not being honest. Why is it blocked?
please refer to this thread guys

you should not be discussing getting it unblocked as it is not legally your handset.(unless the blacklist was a mistake)
And yes it will work in other countries unless the plans for an international blacklist come into effect.
also why dont you speak to the police and get them to investigate through gumtree as you and the mobile network have been defrauded..
good luck
Err, isn't this knowingly selling/purchasing stolen goods?
If you aren't the one who stole it then inform the police, report the seller and get your money back.
If the police don't care then you're still going to struggle to sell it. Maybe consider donating it to a developer.

He wont, because if you check the description, he's planning to deceive someone else (he's simply blocking UK sales). Whilst I feel sorry for him, I don't think this is a good approach..
In Canada we generally refer to these people as hss aoles, fother muckers, etc. He's trying to deceive someone into buying a stolen phone. Mods should delete this thread, ban his account and report this case to ebay.
Buying it for 180 quid, reselling it for 260, not a bad move only if it weren't STOLEN...
Dude, you're a crook!
Who in their right mind will buy a IMEI blocked phone?
you have better chances to chop the phone to bits and sell the parts
you might actually end up making more money that way
the Motherboard is useless as it's IMEI blocked
... wow! too late some poor soul already bought it, he'll find out the hard way the phone was stolen

I bought a brand new Samsung galaxy S5 from a guy that comes with the receipt. Everything seemed legit, but when I got home I figured out the phone is actually blacklisted. So I contacted VIRGIN MOBILE , they said they cannot help me even if I have the receipt because the guy probably didn't pay his bills or took the phone using someone else's identification. They told me the only way I can fix this issue is by hacking the phone. That's why I am here, I need your help to repair my IMEI number or at least suggest me what should I do.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S5
Model: SM-G900W8
Android:4.4.2
Thank you!
I cannot believe a telecom provider recommended you to hack a phone, which is illegal and criminal btw.
No one will help you with your problem as these kind of discussions are forbidden on XDA.
I`am sorry you got scammed, file a police report against the guy that sold you the phone.
Its better that you remove this thread before one of the mods closes it.
Your recourse is against the seller who apparently defrauded you. As the poster above noted, this forum doesn't condone threads talking about manipulating IMEI numbers and if a moderator sees your post, no doubt the thread will be closed, etc, etc.
This is the wrong forum to talk about IMEI changes. As you've been a member since 2011 you should know that. Or would if you read even a handful of forum threads. Try to recover from the seller e.g. make a credit card dispute, Paypal claim, stop payment on your cheque, police report, etc as appropriate. If you are unable to recover from the seller, you may end up selling the phone for parts on Ebay or something.

Sellers of this kind only want cash mate, no receipts or official payments that reveils their identity.

Well Sir, two parts here....
1) I find it hard to believe a carrier would pass this type of information along, not saying they did not say this, but this is something not normal.
2) Additionally this is illegal, as in this is fraud. And if it was me I would take the device and receipt to the Carrier and explain to them your issue. If they want your business they will work with you, if what you say is true, on how you came about this device.
And with those two parts, this type of question/discussions of fraud are not allowed on XDA. Thread Closed and Thanks.
So i was in a wreck, i was rear ended at at stop light. My phone is busted. The other peoples insurance company wants me to provide a receipt to replace it or they say they will only pay for cost insurance thru my carier or buy me a used one and i dont have insurance because i bought the phone unlocked online and my ex and are not talking annnd it was on her paypal account so i cant even get a freaking receipt. So i was hoping someone would have a receipt i could borrow for this prick at this insurance company. Mind you i was not at fault in anyway nor did i go to the hospital with injury lol all i want is my freakn phone replaced w a new one not a used or refurbished phone... I dont see why they just dont freakn pay for it lol
What is broken? Screen?
Mod Edit
Not sure what this has to do with XDA , and such fraudulent behavior is frowned upon.
