Hi all, i had a bad start to the new year...some teenager snatched & ran away with my Touch Dual this morning (dawn,it was dark).
Anyway, my Telco can only deactivate the SIM card. I called HTC to check if thr was a way to BLOCK the phone in anyway...but their office is closed as its new years day.
Any1 has any ideas wat i might be able to do? I dnt think i'll see it again but its really disappointing. some luck huh?
p.s. I intend to get another touch dual the soonest i can afford it..

What do you expect from them to block? I think you want something that's not possible. However, I know that in Holland, the police somtimes sends a sms-bomb to the IMEI number of a stolen phone. I don't know where you're from. but maybe the police in your country can do that to. It seems very anoying to me to receive lot ant lots of sms messages about using a stolen phone
i thought it was up to your network to get the imei barred? if your network wont help i doubt if HTC will do much.
Go to Police with your IMEI!
the IMEI is also on the box the device came with
i was under the impression you can break a phone if you have its imei
I'm sorry...

I can't believe the nerve of that little jerk. Your bad experience just gave me an idea. I once put an app on my Magician that when a different Sim card was inserted into my phone, it would send me a text/email with the telephone number of that Sim. I never had to use it so I can't say for sure that it actually worked. I guess I should've tested it. But anyway, my point is; I'm going to find that app and post it for all.
Can't wait until you get your Dual back.

yep, i came across that software before too..now i wish i had tried that. (well, another lesson in life!)..my only saving grace is i have everything i need backed up. with the IMEI number, which i already gave the police, the only way the thief will be caught if he tries to sell to a 2nd hand mobile phone shop.
by the way, im in Singapore, one of the lowest crime rates in the world. but hey, still, low crime doesnt mean no crime.
oh my, i miss my phone so much...haha..now i can just laugh about it. i just checked the retail price of the dual here...it will cost me about USD 700. sigh...
luckycris0,
if u find that app, pls post it here...thanks..
after this lesson, i will use that, if not for anything....just for karma.
Phone tracing app
Press coverage of same
Hope that helps.
Here's an app that's similar to what I was talking about in my post earlier. The trial version is available from handango.com and it's about 25usd to purchase. Give this a try. I'm certainly going to on both my Nike and Polaris. I'm still going to try and locate the app so you all don't have to pay for it but since that time, I've changed laptops countless times, but I always save everything to disc so we'll see.
thks
thks guys...i will definitel try these apps...once bitten twice shy!
ystrday, i jus bought myself another TOUCH DUAL!...got it at a better offer..had 2 sign a new 2year contract for another telco line...& gave the line to a loved one to use...
Uhm.
I read a few years back that your operator can block the whole phone, not just the SIM card. Never needed to use it, I have no idea if it really works.
Bad luck!
Anyway, thx guys for the app! can really be handy!
will one of these appz survive after a flash or hard reset? guess not So, they are pretty useless in front of phone guardian for symbian in example

Installing alot of roms
Not a brick if you can fix it ;D
People picked on me for that when I wrote my guide, LOL.
Its called a soft brick(software crash)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I am sure I need method #3. My phone is totally dead.
Where can I take my phone go get this repair method done?
I bricked my phone. Fully bricked, no 3button or anything. screen blank no matter what i did etc etc
took it to optus (it was rooted so out of warranty apparently, but they weren't to know that) and said it just wouldn't turn on. They didn't even ask how it happened (had planned to say tried to update it with kies and it just wouldn't turn on) anyways they were just like 'hmmm yeah... not turning on, that's manufacturers problem. We'll send it to them and they'll have a look. Sign this and this and this.'
less than a week later i got a call from them and had my phone back working like nothing happened. All apps and data still there.
easy
A phone is bricked by you and it is totally your fault.in most cases the manufacturers wont take responsibility.your only hope then is sites like these.

what?
I just want to be safe cause i've already bricked one phone
I don't want to brick another one because I didn't ask....
guys it's pretty urgent :C
just do it and sit still, u should be about to reflash if it fails i have a cheap cable that wasnt up to it and i managed too on numerous occasions
Since you thought my last post was harshly done. And since you have bricked once...there is always a chance of bricking as you know. My suggestion is to read, read and understand before hand. And have a back up plan in place...use oem cables and the part of power issues in your area, that is on you to take the chance.
Judgment is near.....

That's exactly why I opened this thread im looking for answers, I searched XDA for this situation already.
now I checked my software and everything is a match
so the updating itself won't brick my phone
but my question is if the process fail or stop suddenly
will my LG G2 get messed up and won't be able to return to
download mode?
that's my question....
I honestly don't do it for me, its for my dad but he's too scared and he said if i get his LG G2 to 4.4.2 ill get his HTC one
but i told him it's the only way cause we bought the LG G2 from someone off ebay and we're over seas so we can't update
through ota since the phone itself isn't registered (it says the phone isn't registered yet) and we can't get our hands on an active att sim
so I'll be glad for any information about the LG FLASH TOOLS and I hope you can help me too.
Hi Guys!
Hope you can help a fellow out.
i flashed it using Odin, and the samsung retail mode is now gone! - So perfect so far!
Now i can put in my sim card in and even press my pin code. But the phone won't let me get on to the network.
the phones imei is: 00000000000000
baseband version is: G935FXXU1APD1
I dont know if you can use the info, but tell me if you need more info.

I believe that since it's a demo unit you're not going to be able to use it. Except for wifi and bluetooth of course.
An IMEI is kinda important.
Out of curiosity... where did you get this?

Because if it was sold to you from someone then a reward might be available for the apprehension of the person that had stolen it and you would have valuable information.
Also, it is against forum rules to assist anyone in unlocking or tampering with an IMEI an any way especially for a stolen device. Since it appears to be that way, you're on your own. So good luck!

Certain stores sell these out if it's excessively supplied by Samsung. It's supplied by samsung on an entirely free no-agreement basis, since they are not expected to survive after the device reaches EOL (LED Burn-in, Customer Damages.. etc).
So the OP may not have necessarily stolen it, but may have obtained it in a clearance sale.
And of course, No. There is no reward involved as the device itself is designed without an IMEI so that the general public may not get to use it.
As all ready posted if it's a demo unit then basically all you have and will have is a wifi tablet. There is no IMEI number for the device and any attempt to use a different one is illegal. Really hope you weren't ripped off with it but as IMEI changing is illegal I will have to close the thread

I recently bought a slightly used huawei 6P phone online and after receiving it did a hard reset to wipe out all old data but!
ITS google account locked phone! and the customer who sold me too hardly remmembers the id or the password he used! and now its just lying with me since a week,
i tried looking and trying a lot of solutions from youtube, but none worked and now im afraid to try more as i dont want to spoil the phone! so i thought why not ask here if anybody faced any similar problems ?
is there any way to bypass this on the 6p?
pls share

Is OEM Unlocking enabled?
Try flashing TWRP in bootloader mode, using fastboot. It will confirm if OEM locking was enabled or not. If it is enabled
He doesnt remember his login info because he probably stole it.
Sorry, this is my standard response 100% of the time when I hear "I dont remember my google login"... Um, you bought a nexus, a GOOGLE PHONE, laoded w google apps and such... and you dont remember your login?
I feel bad for ya, that sucks. But odds are he doesnt know for a reason

Please don't judge so quickly. This will discourage the user, so let him convey his side of the story. He also mentioned that the person he bought it from, doesn't remember the details.

No, I am supporting him. I hope he gets the issue fixed. But the old "I forgot my login" story, to me, is a lie 9 times out of 10.

I agree with you on the "lie 9 times out of 10" point.
OP, return it to the seller for a full refund and/or log the sale with the appropriate authorities.

+1 on that eBay will back you up on this, as will PayPal, and also your credit card company. Once seller learns your intention to return/report he'll either get his s**t together and remember the user name and password for you or take the phone back.
