Hey guys so long story short I picked up a NS4G in a trade. I knew it was "bricked" but I figured hey i have xda! lol
It doesn't power on wont take a charge and does nothing when pressing button combo's. I have searched thru the threads and could not find anything.
I have read about a place you can send it into and they can fix it but not sure about that.
Basically I am wondering should I just throw it in the trash because it is a paper weight? Or is it salvageable?
The guy said he couldn't remember what ROM it was running but I didn't think that really mattered?
Thanks in advanced!!
P.S:The ESN is clear just so you know we aren't wasting our time.
Another question. Would sprint be able to repair the phone? As in replace something in it? I have a service/repair center pretty close to me.
If it ends up not booting and not fixable I'll pay shipping for it.
Just wanted to get "1st dibs"
Carry on

What makes you think that? Unable to activate on Sprint?
Because I don't want to activate it I just to use it for fun, but it connected to 4g and started to ring as I dialed a number. So I'm scared to as in what's going to happen.
I don't want to get in trouble.

You won't get into trouble. Just say you bought of Craigslist ans show some proof that you actually did. I've been through this trust me,
Sell it, tell the buyer that you got it from a friend that didnt want it anymore, but you dont want it either, so you decided to sell it. With the money you gotfrom it, buy an other NS4G.

What exactly do I do? Do i go to sprint and tell them I bought it off craigslist and show the text messages between me and the seller. I have the seller's Posting Id, cell phone number, and email address.
I want to keep the phone as a backup and learn from.

If I find a phone ringing even though I have not activated the phone yet, I would definitely inform Sprint about it if I was in your situation. If it were me, I would be completely honest about everything.
But the end decision is yours.

Then you need to call HTC and find out who you need to talk to to find out if your serial number is still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If not, it's probably something you should have done BEFORE you made the purchase. I could be wrong but it sounds like someone passed a hardware problem off on an unsuspecting buyer. BUT....it MAY still be covered and they didn't know either.
Isn't it worth a try?

This is their online "Warranty Statement". But it does conflict with the results some others have had doing a return. It COULD be that they returned it thru their carrier.

This is their website where you can directly e-mail the company with questions if you like.

LG/Huawei makes low end phones so the phones they have on here either have to be popular and or high end smart phones. U might wanna google what your looking for or u can look in the android dev section and goto the android software development and hacking. (Before i edited this i was still pissed that htc dropped the mytouch line and was thinking about that and typed that instead lol )

I sold this phone and bought a S3, the second day I had it. I already had a T Mo Note but wanted a phone to have to mess around so I thought that would be a good one. Ended up selling it for 250 and paid another 200 for an S3. Going to be selling both to get a Note 2. Thanx anyways.
Can any dev please close or delete this thread.
