Hi, i was thinking of buying a new HTC one x+ phone from individual sellers.
Some of them are selling really cheap ones and claiming they are gifts and that the phones were never opened or used before. Is there a way i can find if that is true?
Like a phone life-time counter or something?

I don't think that there is a way to find that out. You just have to risk it or to leaf it.

As a matter of fact i did find a way.
There is this website called "sndeep.info" that you can put any phone's IMEI code or use the phone serial number and it will give you the information about it in case it's an original phone.
If you get a different model or wrong info then that phone is not original and it's using a fake IMEI code.
I can confirm the site working for Iphones, samsung, HTC and LG. But it does support more brands too.
Just thought you guys will find it useful ^^

I've been reading about people who have dev Rezounds (S-Off). Where would someone buy such phone?

Well, it's not so much that these people bought them from a store, but rather they were either part of the Dev team(testers) or reviewers. A lot of times the manufacturer doesn't ask for them back so these people will either keep them or sell them.
You'll sometimes find people in the market place here selling them or on Ebay.
Oh ok. Well if anybody is selling one, I'd like to buy it.

Go to the Marketplace here & browse the for sale ads and/or post an ad that you want to buy one there. Oddly though, one of my Thunderbolts i had gotten from Ebay. The listing didn't even say it was a dev phone but when i received it and found out i was like "cool!"

It's too new for there to be refurbished devices in stock. So new, in fact, that a customer with an online ordered phone who came into our store last week was told that in order to get a warranty-provided phone, they'd have to place a $650 hold on a credit card till they received the defective phone.

that makes sense yes, I remember I saw a refurbished one on ebay but I guess that must have been the int'l one lol. I see you work at att, is there any code, key combination which tells you how long the note has been used for or nah?
None that I'm aware of.

For getting it directly from Smart, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus would be your best option. I don't know if it would be different on your end, but by going to Google Play and getting the Gnexus from there unlocked, it would cost half as much. Sorry for the late reply.

Does Google Play still sell the GNex? I thought they pulled them off their site?
Best Android Phone bar non is Samsung GS3 or HTC One X. I heard a One X+ with fire-breathing, ear splitting quad-core and turbojets will be out in the fall.
They pulled it off for a week about a month ago, but its been back on since then.

Hello
So I found a massive list of secret codes for the galaxy s3 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098642
I want to know which of these I can use to most effectively brick my mobile. Do not ask why. If you could look through and let me know, which would be most effective that would be great!
Intentionally brick your device? You do know that's insurance fraud, right?

FRAUD sooner we get rid of this crook the better
Smashing your phone to the ground seems to be a very effective method.

Im not doing it for fraud or to get a new phone or anything, and I dont have insurance or a contract.
XDA does not condone fraud in any shape, form, fashion or code. If you wanted to legitimately brick your device for reason that would benefit the community, first you would have to be an extremely experienced and well known user, not have a registration date of Today and finally not post the same thing in 3 different boards that I am a MOD in.
April 1 or not, I have something for you and it isn't a Joke.

I was asking one of the best buy guys, and he seemed to think it would be on original software. I could always return it if it wasn't, but does anyone know off hand if new, unopened merchandise has been updated?
Very doubtful. But I read somewhere in here that the software version will be on a sticker on the bottom of the box. The one with the barcodes and such

Yes, the box has the revision level.
No, you won't likely get MDK, unless your local BB has been sitting on those phones for a very long time.
