Your a funny guy BRO that would might work but I cant get any of my PCs to recognize my phone so Im not rooted.Thats why Im looking for a good trust worthy pay site to order one thanks for ya help though
Have you already downloaded the SG4G drivers on all of your PCs? It would be odd that not even one of them worked. You're best bet to getting your phone unlocked, other than from at home, is to call T-mobile and ask them for the code. I heard they will be hesitant to give it to you if you haven't owned the phone for at least 3 months though.
As for myself, I don't know any sites that do this, sorry.
Yes Ive tried drivers some reason nothing works I must be getting the wrong drivers I dont get it.
Try uninstalling the drivers, reinstalling them, then rebooting your phone and PC.

When i plug the phone into the pc the phone just charges thats it.Not sure if its the right cord or not.
I ended up finding a unlocker the guys actually called me to make sure what phone I had now Im running with AT&T go phone.I left tmobile because of the service was just awful in the area that I had to move to.Now I can make calls and text with full bars.
I really want to get this phone rooted so I can try out some roms.I sure miss the G2x was fun testing all the different ones it had
you have to buy a new USB plug! Went tthrough the same problem on my old vibrant I thought I bricked it because it wouldn't turn on,I sent it in and tthey fixed it and sent it back.. still undergoing the same problem I asked a friend for help. He said maybe it was the wire And tthat's exactly what it was. It is most likely without a doubt the wrong wire. Buy a new one!

My original cable got hosed (dropped it in a parking lot...D'oh!) and I bought a new T-Mobile branded one from the T-Mobile store. Was $14 or so, which I felt was robbery, but it works like a champ. I've had no problems flashing ROMs or anything with it.
I just looked the cord over man Im dumb and feel really stupid right now lol Its a LG cord.They say when you hit 40 ya go blind

Is your phone working? If yes your bootloaders are fine and go return it.
I would use kies if you are going to return it... that makes it 100% stock... no questions asked...
Raver made a 100% Stock GB ROM. If you use Kies mini you will need to flash back to Pure Stock Froyo then do the upgrade.

I believe the sgs4g is still being sold with 2.2; therefore, it would be in his best interest to flash back to froyo and not do the update. Otherwise, Tmo might not take the phone back...
I am pretty sure it's ok to send the phone back with the updated ROM provided by T-Mobile and Samsung.

I wouldn't be too sure of that... Encountered a similar issue with my old blackberry. I updated it to 6.0 (supposedly bb's reply to android) but I found it had a battery issue. So I took it back to get a different phone (sgs4g) after having the bb for 3 days, and they wouldn't take it back. I had to downgrade it back to 5.2 in order for them to acept it... Has to be in the EXACT same condition as when you bought it per the Tmo agreement...
We have some people on here that sell phones... I bet they let us know.
Actually my phone came with 2.3.6 from a tmobile seller/friend i saw him cut open the seal to show phone, its quite funny he gets tons of customers but nothing is in his store like phone display and such just a desk or two.

I think that's more of a personal decision. I know you can use FBs carrier unlocker script to unlock it for use with other carriers if you like the phone.

So I'm going to exchange my infuse. I have the shipping labels already but my question is, I told them I bricked after updating to gingerbread, they never asked how I updated or anything. I told them my issue, and they issued the labels, my thing is, I didn't tell them it was after updating to ucbl3 and that I was rooted, I have hacking stuff on the root of the internal sd card, will they refuse to help me because of any of this?
Lol, Your making absolutely no sense at all, None what so ever. Odin back to stock using GTG Ultimate Unbrick then ship phone back. Simple as that!
I probably should have added I have bricked it. I can't get to download and I only have 3e. I have exhausted every download mode option, but let's focus on my question please? Thanks though.

If they unbrick it themselves and find the phone has been rooted they won't replace the phone. I hear a lot of ppl saying a usb jig may unbrick the phone. Google it.

What have you tried to get into dl mode?
I have tried the volume rockers, all variations of it. Battery/no battery. Holding both, inserting battery, then cable. doing cable then battery while holding rockers. I've tried doing the adb way, but it wont show under attached devices. Basically, no matter what I do, as soon as put in the usb, it always boots to SAMSUNG screen.

It is extremely unusual for this to happen. I can tell you how I do dl mode if that helps.
I remove battery
Hold down up and down volume
Insert battery
Insert USB cord connected to PC.
Chances are, if you send the phone in like that, they will see that you voided your warranty by rooting it and you will get charged full price for the phone.

Do what he says. You would be a fool to send it back as it is. It can be fixed. You don't want to pay full price for that phone and att will charge you for it.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
They dont really care, man. I dont want to give you bad advice, but I went into a device support center today. The phone was rooted, and I even had superuser in the app drawer, and CWM recovery flashed. The people arent even smart enough to realize that it was rooted or custom recovery was installed. They tried to flash it with the stock recovery tool they have, and it bricked. They gave me another one.
Honestly, it is in their best interest to just intake the phone. They strip it of all working parts, take it all apart, split them into bins, and create new refurbished phones out of them.
Is this an AT&T exchange? If so, they generally send you the replacement phone first, and then with the shipping label in the box, you ship the phone back.
There is that chance though. I hate to see anyone pay full price for a phone when they don't have to. Att gets enough money from their customers.

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.

Hey there.
I noticed a bunch of you are possibly getting a different phone. If you plan on getting a different phone, we want it.
Some of you have broken phones.
I am looking for an sgs4g to totally rip apart for scientific reasons. I want to try my hands at making a reversed engineered schematic.
If the phone works great, it will be a lame demise... but if it totally doesn't turn on, has a broken screen, is already kinda smashed. I don't care! Send it to me!
Let me know.
This thread is only for serious offers to let me have your phone to rip it apart. This will only help our community.
If you are not serious and are looking to just say things or whatever off-topic, I will have the moderator delete your post.
Thanks!
Question: Are you asking for them to be donated or are you purchasing them?
Edit: This thread is only for serious offers to let me have your phone to rip it apart.
Sorry.
I have a Galaxy S 4G with a Vibrant screen and camera.
So hardware wise, it's a Galaxy S 4G, lookwise, it looks like a Vibrant. (Except for the backcover.)
I'll consider donating it.

I was given an HTC Thunderbolt from a friend. She's finally just gotten tired of the Sense BS and how screwed up this phone is as it comes from the manufacturer. I figured, being the tech savvy fellow I am, that I'd root it, unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM, probably Cyanogenmod as I love their work. .....no dice. I have Windows 8 on a laptop that was given to me by my wife after my Linux machine went to the big computer shop in the sky. After hours of fruitless searches and downloads I broke down and called HTC. What do they tell me? There isn't a driver out there to make Win8 recognize my device. I tried HTC Sync, PDA Net and a million other options.....no dice. I've searched these forums inside and out, I know the rules, I abide by them to the T. But still, no dice. SO I ask the question that I can't seem to find an answer to, has anyone had any luck getting their Thunderbolt recognized in Win8? If so please tell me how.:good:

My guess is you do not have the proper usb cable with the data pin in it.
Seeing how you got it second hand, that's my guess as I don't know what cable you have and you didn't mention trying several.
May wanna see about picking one up to eliminate that as the issue, if you haven't explored this already.

So I tried and tried everything with this thunderbolt. Finally I gave up on Windows 8, which I think Windows has too, and dug out my daughters Acer Aspire One and installed Windows 7. Wouldn't ya know it, all went well. Actually all went well with Windows 8 but I must have gotten a bad download when I obtained the RUU to downgrade to Gingerbread. Or maybe it was an operator error, around here there seems to be quite a few. Anyway, I am rooted with S-OFF so let the Flashing commence. I'm gonna look for a CM10 rom, wish me luck. Thank to all that helped, especially the fella who told me to switch cords, always a good idea when having problems.
