[Q] On a Fascinate... - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on my 3rd Fascinate and I'm getting my 4th tomorrow. I wanted to get a TB, but they didn't let me, saying that it wasn't "equal". Does anyone know a way to get a TB in my situation?

Buy it at Full Price Then sell yours brand new

You can sell the fascinate for $$400-$500 and its only cost me $600 to buy the thunderbolt outright.

Probably more like 300-400$ on Ebay

I *****ed about my fourth dx and said I didn't want another one.. asked if I could just return my dx and pay the difference and they agreed. Ended up paying 52.95 including tax. There was a 50$ difference

dont think it was stolen... when you upgrade with TMO if you only have 1 line you can add a line ( shared minutes ) for 5.00 more and get a phone at the discounted price. I got my Vibrant for 243.00 with a 100 rebate and i got one free. chose to give the free one to my wife rather than sell on craigslist. Its a good deal if you know how to work it. I got a buddy that has 3 lines and when he gets the upgrades for the discounted price he just sells the other 2 for a good profit.

The gameloft games have to be purchased from gamelofts site directly they aren't available on the market for some reason, but yeah they are definitely your best bet for good looking games.
Every time I go to gameloft's website they tell me that their sorry but they have no games that support my phone. Any ideas what I need to do?

Phone Replacement

Just wanting to get a FYI. I may by default try for a replacement before my 1 year is over. Whats the process I should go through in order to make sure its a valid replacement.
What ROM should I go recover to?
What process should i go through to unroot?
Is there anything else i should make sure is done before I send in my phone after getting replacement?
All help is much appreciated.
Do you have phone insurance?

Unless you have insurance and there is a major problem with you phone Tmo isn't going to replace your phone.
Unrooting is easy its basically typing in a few commands to unroot it or you can do it via OCLF
As far as putting the stock rom back in place you can use ODIN
T-Mo is very inconsistent. If you call one time, you can get someone that is Super Rep and will go by the book and make it hard to get a replacement. If you call again, you can end up talking to someone who just sends you a new one no questions asked.
I've had 4 vibrants since july, and have swapped them all at my t-mo store. Theyre not supposed to do that, but they do, sometimes you just gotta ask nicely and look like a victim.
Uh how have you gone thru 4 vibrants....crazy

Someone at tmo isnt doing their job. After the 3rd exchange within 3 months they are supposed to force you into a different model phone, and release you from your contract in case you want to leave them.
Because after 3 exchanges, you're costing them more money than you're worth to them.

[Q] I'm selling my Thunderbolt, un-root or leave rooted?

I'm thinking I might be forced to sell my HTC Thunderbolt. Right now I am running the latest BAMF 2.1, and my question is, can I sell my phone and be able to meet someone at a Verizon Wireless and have the rooted Gingerbread Tbolt activated to whoever the buyer will be? Or do I need to flash back to bone stock unrooted 2.2? I'm hoping to leave it as is and just do a data wipe so that perhaps mine will have a little bit of an edge over the other phones I'm seeing posted now. I hate to sell it but times are tough. Thanks for any advice! -Phil
Most of the phones I have sold I have left rooted

To be honest most reps who set it up won't even notice and if they just do the *228 the computer system won't even be able to tell I used to work at Verizon and did this all the time

I'd leave it as is, custom rom & all. Whoever buys it will most likely appreciate it. If they've had a rooted HTC before, they can figure out how to swap roms/radios.

atrix repair

I got the 0x1000 issue and sent my phone in for repair at the motorola repair center and it arrived there on thursday. I tried tracking the repair and it said they hadn't received it yet even though UPS said it arrived... It's been four days so.. does anyone know how long an atrix repair might take (general assumptions) and if you've gotten a different moto phone repaired did they keep you up to date on their progress?
Say goodbye to your Atrix. All your Atrix belong to Motorola.

It if you guys are comparing your order statuses you'll go crazy. There's 3 different ways to check stauses and premier versus regular accounts. it's just not worth the stress. Most everyone with a few exceptions will get them friday.
