Anyone got a replacement from sprint in the past couple days or so? If so what Hboot did it have, and was it a refurb? I am talking about via mail, not from a store. Unless maybe the store ordered it for you. Am I leaving any scenarios out? lol I could care less about a refurb, just want to be able to root with Alpha
Thanks
Nobody has gotten a replacement lately?
I'm wondering the same, guy at sprint ordered me one, and I'm ocd about having refurbs lol.. won't get it till next week or so though..
I am not worried so much about a refurbished as I am the 1.50 hboot. The Evo 3d.is cool and all but without custom kernel it may as well be stock. I guess if worse comes to worse we can buy one from eBay and sell our replacements!

Yes, but if the device is unlocked with HTC method Roma are flashable but not kernels. Or from what I have read anyway.

I got my tracking info, says shipment weighs .60 lbs, my original shipment weighed 1.30 lbs. I got a REFURB Its OK as long as it is Alpha approved, lol. Oh and no green hue, no dead pixels, no overheating, no tilted screen, did I leave anything out? Oh, yeah, NO LIGHT BLEED! lmao
I got a replacement last Friday.
1.40 bootloader!
##786# says it is new, not refurbished.
It does, however, randomly reboot 2x a day or more. Once it starts rebooting, only a clean shutdown will atio it from recurring every 5 minutes.
It is more stable than what it replaced, but not stable enough.

Looks like you flashed over something you shouldn't have. If you can post the updater script I will be able to tell you which one it was but unfortunately you'll still need to get it replaced.
Also make sure your kitchen is up to date, the pre evo 3d versions didn't know which partitions to use and will set it to the wrong one.

I had an in store Sprint replacement two days ago that was still Hboot 1.40.
sent from my 3v0
I got mine through sprint's insurance. It was the "mail it to your house then put the old one in the included prepaid envelope" thing.
It was a phone and back plate only...no battery, no memory card, no charger, no retail packaging.
Got mine about a hour ago, came with 1.40 Hboot. Phone is also brand new and I dont see any issues, yet. It came like the above post, a phone and a back, nothing more. I did S-off before activating that way I avoid error 16, or at least it should.
Chat with sprint for activation went smoothly, nandroided and loaded my back up on new phone. It's like a bad dream and miss it over, lol.
Going to sprint in a few should I return my current phone to stock?

I just got my rezound from Amazon wireless. I love the phone however I.have the light leakage and its already overheating. Do I.need to send it into Amazon or can I return it at a local Verizon store? I I've read both circumstances happening. Just wondering if anyone else has done either yet. Also if u send it in can u get a loner? This is my first Verizon phone. Thanks
I think you have to use amazon for the first 30 days then you can use verizon. It may be worth it to put up with it until verizon can help you.

Any way to confirm this. I suppose I can call tomorrow.I'm.stuck in class right now. If that's the case ill def wait the 30 days
I got both a Rezound and RAZR from Amazon. The Rezound is great, but I had some serious issues with the RAZR overheating and searching for signal. Called Amazon, they shipped me a brand new phone. Swapped SIMs, mailed the old phone back. Problem solved, and it didn't cost me a dime. Think shipping was 2nd day air.
EDIT: I also tried VZW first, because it would have been quicker, but they directed me to Amazon.
So they send one first... Have the replacement phones been without flaw or is it the same gamble. Might be better to wait the 30 days and use Verizon so I can check it...

The only reason I suggested waiting and using Verizon is that Amazon was backordered last time I checked.
Send back to Amazon. I just went through this and don't be afraid by the 2-5 week wait. They told. Me that and got an email a few days later it was being shipped.

Amazon is excellent for returns/exchanges hands down. I assume it will be the same process you request an exchange and they ship it out to you. They generally gave me overnight shipping for free (even on a saturday) to get me non-defective item. Then you just ship it back to them within a resonable time frame with the included label and you should be good to go.
You guys do realize Amazon will send you a brand new phone and if you wait 30 days Verizon cannot swap in store and will send you a refurbished phone thru the mail.

Verizon has a 14 day policy normally, but now if you purchased the phone after 11-15 you have until Jan.
Wouldn't the phone have a warranty through htc as well? Sounds like ill be contacting Amazon tomorrow though. Thanks a lot guys. Hopefully that one doesn't have the light leak. Lol watch me have a new problem. Is rather have the leak than pink buttons and all the other problems I hear about...

I'd be willing to bet that it was a CSA who probably doesn't understand what light leakage is. Between my 3 rezounds and everyone I have looked at in the stores you can see the LEDs through the bottom of the screen when the soft keys light up which is what is causing the bleeding. There is no way to fix it except by turning off the LEDs or by lowering their intensity to improve on the light leak.

Went into verizon and they won't take the phone tho it sounds like I may as well deal with it. They really pissed me off though. I wanted to put on my work discount. Supposed to be 22% line 20% data. I called and reviewed online before I got verizon and the rep told me I would get the discounts. The store wouldn't discount my data because he claimed I need to have a 5gb data and hotspot plan. I was never told this and most likely wouldn't have canceled at&t during the penny sale. Anyone think I could complain enough to get this changed? Can't seem to find a phone number for them to save my life lol

I was just given a rezound as a replacement for a thunderbolt. I got one with some dead pixels and had another sent out both of which have the most current OS on them which means I can't temp root them. Has anyone recently had a replacement that did not have the OTA on it?
Thanks
I'll find out when I get mine later today...will report back.
I will find out today as well. I think it's just the luck of the draw.
Edit: OTA. But they didn't send me a replacement, this is brand new in the box. Wonder if I should keep all the cables and headphones

How did you manage that? I'll take the stuff if you don't want it
Told them exactly my problem: Since the OTA my phone runs about 114F-120F Degrees for no reason. I did a master reset a few times just to be sure. With nothing running, my phone was cooking.
Even though I didn't mention that my battery life was suffering, I chose to leave this out. I didn't want her to think it was just the battery. I let her figure out that it could be both. She sent me a new phone.
Helps that it's a business phone too
I got my replacement rezound a couple weeks age without the oat update.... but I ran the oat first thing so I could get the latest radio.
Temp root is lame anyway... just unlock it.

It's out of stock because of the fact that it will be a replacement (ie refurbished) phone. Those phones come from a completely different place than the "new" ones. Thus the wait. I've had to go through this three times already, every time my replacement phone came in around 3 days. Best of luck

That's cause replacements have to be ordered, DERPS, is what we called it.
Sprint cannot hand out good backstock for problems unfortunately. They order them to the store. They will let you keep your current malfunctioning phone till your replacement comes in.
I worked phone repair for them, although never used their service, t mobile ftw.

While this is true, if they are on backorder some stores lean more towards doing an in-store exchange if they are nice enough. Some customers come in all pissed off and demand a new one in store and if your manager is as much of a pushover as mine, then they will get a new one. They use that in order to eliminate wait for that certain customer. I work service and repair for them as well.

My wife and I just went through the same thing with her phone. Had to order a replacement, was told 3 days, a week later we finally got her phone. Got the phone home only to realize that there were burn-in marks and the buttons on the bottom weren't lit correctly. Fortunately for me they had another one in the back that was much better.
I asked the rep why the 3D was back ordered and without hesitation he told me that it was due to all the issues the phone had. He claimed they replace quite a few a day (for what it's worth).

I just find that interesting because the store told me I may not get a EVO 3D. They said it might be a EVO 4G, which I stated that was not an acceptable replacement. They then stated that it might be a Galaxy S phone. So we'll see what happens.

Did you break root and restore to original?
Just wondering if the phones that were returned were rooted. I'm having trouble with mine and I'm supposed to take it in to a repair center. How do I restore it to locked state?

Sprint doesn't care if you root your phone now so no need to restore it.
Oh and I took my phone in for a digitizer issue. Was told they had to order me a phone. The new one 'old' one had dead spots in the touch screen now they have ordered me another one. Both times the phone was backordered and there were no other phones on the 'other list'. First time phone took 3 business days to get to me. We'll see how long this one takes.

I always flash a stock unrooted Rom before I bring my phone is repairs. They usually look for the superuser app only though so you wouldn't need to do anymore than that. I had a digitizer issue too. It took them 5 days to get it. I got lucky though, my refurb was in great condition.

There really isn't a "Best Way." Rule of thumb is you're supposed to get a re-manufactured unit by priority, and if none are available at the time, a NIB unit is sent. If you get 3 re-manufactured units in a row, a new one can be requested at that point. I got lucky and got a NIB unit when I cracked my screen. Paid $100 for my Asurion deductible, and had a new one in hand next business day (reported before 8pm EST on the previous business day).

I got one last Saturday and it prompted me for the update a few minutes after activating it. I had to exchange it this past Thursday (screen cracked at corner of top speaker) and the new one prompted me as well.

The DNA however may change my feelings. Not because of HTC but because of Big red. The limited storage which create the need for cloud service is also another reason. A of now most cloud service is free but as more and more people move to the service free will be long forgotten in the cry of
"To much cost to host so manu people" and then boom, the fee's will start.
Yea, I'm on a rant, and i assume you wanna know about the OTA. Got my dna yesterday, I am coming from a Thunderbolt. My phone did not have the ota however every 5min or so a friendly reminder to DL the update keeps popping up.
I did get root (if ya wanna call it that) via HTC dev by using the "other supported device" option in the links. The email was very fast and the token worked. I just now got a stock rom DL and am going to load onto the phone.
If you get your dna in the next few weeks you may be ok but as the supply of phones drops new phones will have the OTA in place. Also keep in mind this applie to insurance as well. IE you drop your phone call INS to get new one.
You may wish to look at other options if you wish fro true freedom in a phone. Soff on this phone is a ways away.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Huh...
There will always be free cloud storage options, drive, dropbox, box, mega, etc. None of those are going anywhere anytime soon.
And as for "Soff on this phone is a ways away.", what are you talking about. There is currently s off for this phone.
