Jig in Metro Manila? Any sellers/renters PM me please?

My Dad came to visit me and asked me to upgrade his old Galaxy S. I didn't check the phone out thoroughly and it has an old bootloader. So when I flashed Cryogen I got the crazy screen problem. I thought, no problem, I'll just flash the gingerbread bootloader. Well I can't get into download mode. The phone is an AT&T Galaxy S and they seem to have disabled all the button combos. I've tried everything, so I need a jig.
The postal system/mail here sucks, as you know, so I want to buy it without having to use them (or EMS which sucks worse), which means locally. I can get it DHL shipped to me from the US next month, but I would really like to get this going ASAP. I checked Sulit but one seller that claims to sell it is a total no show and the other has no stock and is really not interested in being a vendor at all. Ebay.ph is the same, there is one seller who might be in the Philippines but they are not replying. No listings at Tipid.
So anyone know where I could use a Jig in Metro Manila? If anyone has one and is willing to sell or rent it to me, PM me. I'll pay more than market price. However, unless you have a store or a permanent way to get a hold of you after the sale, I will wish to use Paypal, Google wallet or something like that.
Also, I've been looking for the resistors to make a Jig, but I cannot find them. If anyone knows who sells them in Manila, please let me know?
Thanks!

Hi kababayan! have you checked my thread [REF] BORROW A USB JIG NEAR YOU *updated?
I bought mine from this ad
hope this helps!

Salamat! That seller is the one who doesn't seem very interested in selling anymore. He has no stock and originally said this week but this week he said he is too busy and won't be making more.
Thanks for that thread, you are in Cebu? Is there anyway I could pay you to borrow yours? I could pay rental fee and Air21 or something like that to get it to me and then send it back to you in 1 day (probably turn around will be 2-3 days to Cebu via air21). You are active enough here that I can trust you and can do a bank deposit if you don't have paypal. If its anywhere within the realm of possibility, send me a PM and I will work out the details with you. I'll be heading for bed now but I will check back tomorrow.
Thanks!

mmm.. pm me sir.
also, have you tried these sellers? http://www.istorya.net/forums/cellphones-and-accessories/438426-usb-jig.html http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/v...ung+i9000&event=Search+Ranking,Position,1-1,1

Can at&t verify if a phone has been reported lost or stolen?

Tomorrow im meeting up with a person to trade a iphone 5 for their Galaxy s4. We are meeting up at a at&t store and I wanted to ask you guys a question. Can a at&t rep at the store tell if the phone was reported lost or stolen? If it wasn't, is it possible for the person to report it stolen afterwards? What can I do to protect myself from this happening? Thanks in advance.

This has been a hot topic lately. There are a few threads about this, blacklisting a phone.
They can verify it isn't stolen at that moment, yes. But, they will not transfer ownership or notate the account. The person that bought the phone can report it stolen the next day, week, or even later than that.
You can't really do anything to protect yourself from this. AT&T also shares that list with T-Mo so the phone is blocked from both networks. Only the original owner can lift the ban.
Unfortunately this has made buying and selling a phone second hand a lot harder.

Thank you. Hopefully all goes well. Im going to do it only because he's giving me the receipt and offered to give his home address so I could meet him there. Wish me luck..lol

Verify (with drivers license) names on at&t accounts and that the s4 is actually on the account with a manager. Do this in addition to the written receipt

I wish Att would do something to help protect people from this new scam. I bought a s4 off swappa for a great price and I had the same concern. I took the chance since I pay for it with paypal and the guy had good feedback and he had other phones for sale. At least this way I have documentation that I bought it.

Do the transaction at an att store. It will be documented in there system eliminating the ability for them to falsely report it lost or stolen
BEAST......... that is all

Just got back from doing the trade. Seemed like an honest guy, he gave me the receipt and had no problem showing me his license and waiting out the process at the at&t store. Phone was never activated on his account, he paid full price for it. Even swap and all is well. I was still nervous so I took a pic of his license and even his license plate just in case but I dont see any problems going foward.

When I got my S4, the att rep noted the other persons account.

[Q] A annoying problem

I purchased a Nexus 4 off of craigslist which was purchased originally from Koodo. After 4 months of the phone working fine, buddy reported the phone stolen to get himself a new hardware upgrade(*&@#*^@). Now the phone cannot access the cellular network. I'm curious as to weather I can in any with remedy this lockout with root access somehow. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

1st questions get posted in Q&A, not in the general section. people dont look for questions to answer here.
2nd if the phone was reported stolen, and they had the imei blacklisted, then most likely you are left with just a wifi device.

You could try to find a network that doesn't use that blacklist. I'm pretty sure you can find one that won't check. Else, you might have to seek other methods that can't really be discussed on this forum.
I'm not very familiar with Craigslist, but I'm guessing they don't have the buyer protection that eBay does.

Craigslist is on-line want ads and this is why I will never buy a phone off anyone who advertises on it.

Thanks for the information folks, I'm going to keep looking around to see what I can do about getting on another network. Its just so frustrating when people take advantage of a person like this. =/

HTC Champions is offering carrier employees a m9 at $299 off contract

HTC has a program called Champions for employees of carrier retail stores. They are offering them a M9 at $299 off contract. Furthermore if they buy a M9 from the discount program they can trade it in for the next One at no extra charge with their "One for Life" program. I posted the screen shot from the email on my G+ page: https://plus.google.com/+PatrickHill/posts/Mr462GhpLbw
So if you work in a carrier store go sign up for Champions and get your M9 for only $299

is this us only?

My store wasn't listed, but it's a small mom and pop shop that IS an authorized T-Mo dealer. Hope I'm able to be considered and that it isn't closed to only those who work at the retail stores.

I wish I was working at a carrier retail store. Ugh maybe next time... Wondering if a friend who works there can do the favor for none workers?

These deals are generally restricted to corporate retail stores by the phone manufacturers as they do actually verify that you're eligible before allowing you to make the purchase. Could be different for this deal but I'm assuming it's not.

I am a member of HTC champions. there is a strict verification policy to ensure that you are a corporate retailer employee. The community is meant to help dealers learn about HTC and interact with other corporate employees.

Is it a U.S. only offering?

Did you use your work email if you have one? Just wanted to make sure cuz I just used my personal email to sign up but I dont know if they use the corporate email to verify or anything (I have one if they need it). And would you mind saying how long it took for you to get verified?

I went to the Montclair, New Jersey HTC event on 4-9 to pick up mine.

I should really get a part time job at a store so I can get these kind of perks. I sell enough phones usually just by talking to people about phones and helping them decide then some of these sales reps I usually school any of the young sales reps that try to help me when I'm in a store.. I actually cut into one guy's sale at AT&T because he was telling this customer sh** that just was false and set him straight real fast.. haha

Are we sure this is US only? I really hope not. I'm Canadian and my store was listed when I signed up... It even allows Canadian addresses (listing provinces and allowing postal codes, etc). I'd be deeply disappointed if we're left out of this. Does anyone know?

Sorry for the long response time.
I pretty sure that you have to set it up through your work email. You just find your store in the list and I think you also get verified with your work email.
I'm not too sure how long it took to verify but on the discount page it mentioned that if you recently created an account, it could take up to 2-3 days to process if you just started as it's a different website that you buy from and separate from HTC Champions.
I set up HTC champions well over a year ago and kind of fuzzy on the exact details but use your work email for everything HTC and you will be fine.
Edit: Found this on the promo page
Please allow for up to 48 hours if you are newly registered to Champions.

So that's the time you might have to wait and I honestly don't see this selling out quickly as it's not a very popular phone.

Judging by the content of your post history and your impatience I would bet you're someone who doesn't work at a carrier store, who got into Champions, got an order in and are now waiting to see if they will actually ship it or if you will get busted and it be cancelled... If that's not the case I apologize but if that is the case (which I would think someone who worked at a carrier store would be more knowledgeable than the content and questions you've asked in your posts.. for example.. asking if the GS5's all had yellow screens or if it was just yours.. if you had worked in a carrier store you could have compared it to many others in stock or that you sold) then I hope you do get busted and the order doesn't ship. I didn't post this for people to take advantage.. I posted it for legit carrier employees who might not even know about the program... Again.. If I'm wrong I apologize.

Bad day at work? Or you had a case of the Mondays? What ever it maybe and judging for your post and tone it looks like you're taking out your frustion on me. If you have a problem with I said you should PM me instead of trying to publicly humiliating me on XDA.
Now the reason why I ask is because I know someone who works at a ATT and was able to convice him to order one for me since he is part of HTC champion. Since you made this thread for people who work in retail carrier stores, I figured I would ask
for example.. asking if the GS5's all had yellow screens or if it was just yours..

Going through your post history you answered a similar question on how your HTC m9 screen was "green" and it was the resullt of glue? How did you know this? What is your evidence?
