So I just got back from the tmobile store, after sending in my g1 I bricked attempting to install the danger spl, claiming I had no idea what happened. Then I received a call from the person at the store that was helping me informing me that HTC would do a 'check' to see if it had been rooted, and fine me $400 if they discovered any unofficial roms on it. I told this man nothing.
Is this bs, or what?!
Either security has been upped in the recent past, and I'm going to have to pay $400, or he just tells that to everyone to scare them, I have no clue.
Any additional information would be appreciated very much.
TC,
No worries mate. It's BS, he's just looking to spook you, or he/she is a complete idiot of a rep. They can't fine you for it. You own the phone, not them (unless you're on some sort of a lease agreement contract I'm not aware of).
The most they'd do is just return the phone to you or something.
Cheers.

By not following directions, mostly.
Mine was taken by haykuro's death bringer.
-
This person called me back, and claims that HTC can and will check every phone sent in for unofficial roms. I'm not sure what gave me away, but he said if I rooted my phone, then do NOT send it in, because they will not replace it, and I will need to pay $400 for a new g1. He says he knows this from experience.
I'm rather frightened now, but would much rather trust you guys. So, encouragement pl0x?

TC,
This changes things. You see, when you said a 400 USD fine...that's BS....but...you should have the option to keep your bricked G1 (assuming they can't fix it). They can't keep it and not return it you. After that point, it's really your choice if you want to buy a new one or not.
Cheers.

Yes, but is there anyway they can tell it was rooted? Because if they can't, wouldn't they just replace it for free?

I'm sorry, I do not have the information to these things and I wouldn't know. I can wish you all the best at this point, and hope that you screwed up the phone's memory to a point where nothing is readable by whatever gadgets/software they have.
Whatever it is, they can NOT fine you, that's the point I want you to take away from all this. Lawl.

Well at least we've got you guys =P
Do you have 'Accident' insurance?
Yes, they can tell if you rooted it, or flashed it with an unofficial ROM. By doing that, you invalidated your warranty so if they really DO check it, they are pretty unlikely to repair it for free, hence the $400.

TC,
I wouldn't be surprised. You know how a damaged hard drive can be rendered inaccessible to the average joe? And how there are data-recovery companies that can somehow still get data back for you?
I'm pretty sure they can tell. If that's the case, like I've said before, it's really your call if you want to purchase a new phone or buy a second hand rooted one in the marketplace.
Cheers.

It's only bricked to you, not to them. It's more likely they'd just reflash the ROM and not bother to check, but what with Google's recent actions on trying to stop custom Android ROMs containing their closed source software, they MIGHT be pressuring HTC to check for custom ROMs as well...
It's your choice whether you want to take the chance or not. The worst that can happen is that they won't honour the warranty and either send the device back to you, or require you to pay for the repair.
Good luck for you and take easy.

Someone from here needs to get a job at htc, and pray the unbricking technique is revealed to them
LMFAO! That guy needs to get his ass kicked! You can turn your device in a custom ROM server and the only thing they can do is return it to you without repairing it. Nothing more. Ha! What ...... .... that rep must be. ........ ... ...... ..... haha!
If they catch you with a custom ROM, you would have to pay for the repair yourself, but that is normal. I never, NEVER, go to official repair shops. I just go to any repair centre and pay the price for the repair. Saves me a lot of nerves lol.

It's not difficult, but you can't do it from home because it requires dedicated hardware to connect directly to the phone's main board.
How do you think they flash these things in the first place, hmm? They sure as hell don't run the same type of flashing process that we do!
First off I hope this is in the correct section, I figured it was an appropriate place as any. I lurked around the Touch Pro section for a while (in fact xda-developers was the reason I purchased the Fuze in the first place) and have had a great time playing around with custom ROMS and apps for the device.
I went back to an old Nokia device a while ago because I wasn't really using data at all, but now I'm moving to Sprint to get the Evo 4G and this Fuze is still laying around, unused.
It's in great condition, almost perfect I would say, and I'll throw in the charger and whatnot if you would like.
I'd like to give it to someone from this community who needs or can make use of it. Just post a quick reason why you would like it and within a couple days I'll decide who to send it to.
Thanks for making my first experience with an HTC WinMo device so fun!
Well I would like to have your phone, since my TP has an awful ghosting on the screen which makes the screen really hard to read sometimes, but if there are other people that can make better use of it (like ROM developers) they of course have a better reason for getting it than me ^,^
I wouldn't mind to pay you the shipping costs of course, so that your expenses are covered. I'd give my current TP to my girlfriend, she has a crappy Sony Ericsson phone now
Thats a very generous offer. I do not intend of keeping my Fuze much longer personally as I am growing annoyed with microsoft. But i have yet to find any android based phone i like (Aside from the Droid, but i despise Verizon).
Unfortunately, my Fuze has a defective touch screen. My original Fuze never had working wifi, which was then replaced under insurance with a refurbished phone. This phone is great and all, except for the loose keyboard and faulty touch screen.
When i draw a line across the screen with my stylus in notepad, you can see the line curve and go under or above the dead zone, very freaky and annoying. Most likey if you are willing to give it to me, mine would be given to my soon-to-be fiance as she is leaving her host family (au pair) and will have no phone.
Regards
- Mike
(seriously though, i'm sure there are much more deserving people of this sweet phone, but if you are interested, i will pay for shipping and handling)
UPDATE - Ok, Captain Throwback needs it more - my vote is to give it to him ha ha.
Hello!
I don't know if you know me, but I'm Captain_Throwback, a Mod here, and also a Raphael chef. I've been having issues with my Fuze of late, and fortunately, since I have insurance on my device, I was able (just yesterday) to get a Tilt 2 as a replacement for my device. Unfortunately, that means I can longer produce Raphael ROMs for my loyal ROM users, and I'd really hate to stop doing that - it's been quite a process getting my Kitchen together (3 times now), and putting together ROMs that are stable and to my liking. The insurance company claims "right of salvage" on any replaced devices, so unless I want to pay full retail for the Tilt 2, I have to return my Fuze to them. So, it was suggested that I post in this thread for a shot at having another Fuze, so that I can continue cooking for this great community, and update my ROM which is over a month old, at this point.
I have a few dollars in my Paypal account, so I wouldn't mind covering shipping costs, and throwing a few extra dollars in there for it as well, since I understand the device isn't free. But I'm sure (as the above poster noted) there's someone who needs it more than me.
I'm sorry to hear that you never got the full potential out of your Fuze (perhaps you should've flashed my ROM on it ), but I'm sure someone here will give it a good home, and make sure that it gets used well. Happy choosing!
I always want to have htc touch pro but its too expensive to me on my country But i have Blue Angel Decision is yours....
Sorry for my English...
Over the weekend my touch screen just completely stopped working and i have not idea why, i contacted at&t for insurance replacement but they arent helping me at all, since i bought it from newegg with a service plan through at&t theres some confusion about the insurance and i think i got really screwed. long story short they wont help me unless i renew my 2 year agreement and newegg cant do anything either. im inclinded to fix it myself but im pretty broke with other expenses so im completely phoneless until i can figure something out. ive already flashed back to the stock rom and checked the cable to the lcd and that seems to be whats wrong but to get a new cable id have to order it from hong kong and that seems like the least desirable option, going 4 weeks with no phone would be terrible for me. ive got other stuff on my plate but i dont want this to turn into a total sob story, if theres any way i can get some help i would be ecstatic. id throw whatever money ive got towards it as well
Hello,
Giving away a touch pro? How kind =]. Well I am searching another Touch Pro, I want to give it as a present. the Touch Pro's here are barely available, Since they are outstores already. I would really like to give my friend a touch pro for her birthday, I guess that would be so cool for her =]. Also this could be a good present since I have a crush on her :$. Im a big fan of the Touch Pro, and I really convinced people around me that they should get one too. They really like the device. I could make a "fake" message that my Touch Pro just broke, but no. I am just being honost, I hope you will give the Touch Pro to whoever deserves it.
Good luck,
Armazia

i'd like to make a suggestion.
while Captin_Throwback is hard to ignore on this (rom maker and all) i would like to suggest donating your fuze to the hard workers developing android on our devices. i'm sure they would like to have another for when nand testing starts and whatnot.
just a thought.

Good One, you can treat my response as non-existent, because either the Captain or the XDAndroid Team could make far better use out of it than me ^^
my phone isn't broken, so send it to me!
Mine isn't broken, it just sucks. You should send it to me. I can sell it and my phone on ebay and have enough money to get a phone that doesn't suck.
Well thanks for all the interest, I think I'm going to send it to Captain Throwback.

[Q] exchanging phone @ AT&T hoping to get one without 1.85; any experience with this?
Like an idiot I jumped the gun and updated to 1.85 without changing CID. I went to the store and they obviously didn't have any in stock but they would call me as soon as they got a shipment in/acquired one from another store even if it is past my 30 days.
Does anyone have any recent experience with this? Does it have an earlier version? Or will I be stuck with another 1.85 device?
1.85 hasn't been released... can't see how you'd end up with one.
So you know the risks of using a leaked ruu. Why not just wait for root for 1.85 or a official update ruu?
Nothing is wrong with your device
Why would you need to return it? If being on 1.85 is the only issue, why not wait it out? I can't see why this is a problem that would require an exchange...
If you are not experiencing any problems other than being on 1.85 I would suggest u keep the phone. There is a very good possibility you could end up with a phone that has issues like the one I have and several others have had. Not only that but u flashed it to your phone so why make the carrier pay for something u did.

I'm stuck on 1.85 also. The phone runs fine and I can wait for the root.
I'm just curious, what were you going to tell them to convince them to exchange your phone with 1.85 for a stock phone?
Mike
I just took mine to the AT&T store half an hour ago. Since it was finally released from customs they said it should be in stock this week. They let me hold onto the phone and said even if I have to keep it past the 30 days they'll replace it anyway. They said there's a possibility of it being in stock tomorrow, so if I replace it then, I'll let you know.
I swear this forum needs to take a harder stance on threads like these. Suggesting that you're taking the phone back for exchange because you knowingly flashed a software version that is not carrier supported is shameful. These threads should be treated like Warez posts and deleted or locked.
Come on people, these things cost money! HTC and AT&T may make a lot of money, but every time someone does something like this it cuts into their bottom line and you're just driving up costs for the rest of us.

Your ad hominem attack doesn't do anything to make my point less valid. There is a difference between AT&T locking out things like data tethering (which is stupid) and HTC voiding warranties for bootloader unlocking, which is their prerogative. As an electronics manufacturer who incurs cost every time they accept a warranty return, it makes perfect sense to have a system which allows them to track who has unlocked the bootloader.
As a community of modders, I like to think that we all can accept that we are taking the warranty into our own hands when we modify the device in ways it was not intended to be used.
sassafras
I've been trying for a couple weeks to get mine swapped, both because of 1.85 and because of connection problems.. I just called a store and they said to call tomorrow (31st day since purchase) to see if they have any, and that they would be willing to work with the circumstances... But if you are swapping for no other issue I'm not sure how they'll like that.

Hello all,
Please excuse me if this is common knowledge or if there is another thread that answers my question.
I am somewhat new to the Android community, having bought my first device, a new Nexus 7 in August. I decided to try rooting it, which worked out great, until I accidently deleted the os off of it. ( thanks again to those of you who helped me fix this) I now have an AT&T LG G2, and I wish to root this as well. However, I have some concerns as far as my carrier's ability to charge me. Will AT&T know if I root my device? If it can, can AT&T do anything about it? I am worried especially about extra charges to my plan and/or the refusal of service (i.e. they kick me off of my data plan). Can anyone offer any insight to this? Do I have anything to fear?
Thank you for your help.

No, it is not illegal to root your Android phone or even jailbreak it if you have an iPhone.
Here is an article with the detailed info:
http://www.slashgear.com/eff-clarifies-laws-behind-unlocking-and-jailbreaking-phones-29267197/
In terms of receiving service from your carrier arises that is a different story. I don’t have AT&T, I'm on Sprint but I think AT&T will much likely give you problems or refuse service from what I have heard. I don't know that for certain as I have never had At&T.
I don't see how you would aquire any additional charges unless you are either going over your data limit or break your phone and they find out your rooted so they don't fix it in which case you are stucjk buying a new phone at full retail.
That being said make sure you understand how to unroot so you are able to if you need to take the phone in for service.
Hope that helps.

It's YOUR phone so they cant do anything other then just void your warranty. Do they actively try and find rooted devices? No. Do they gasp if they find a rooted device? No.
All I can say is you paid for the phone, so you do what you want with it. If worse comes to worse and you brick your device playing with it, thats what insurance is for
Wow, thanks for your quick and helpful responses.
Just to reiterate, the only issues I have to worry about is my warranty being voided, and the slim possibility that I can brick my device? I dont need to fear AT&T ending my plan or charging me extra money? Sorry to bother you guys more, but I want to be absolutely sure before I do this.
Thanks again for your time and wisdom.

That's correct and your warranty is really only voided if they see it is rooted. If you take the appropriate steps to unroot and restore your phone to stock you should be ok if an issue arises. I can't guarantee you will be because you are in fact always taking some risk when rooting.
In terms of extra money, unless your are tethering or in some way exceeding you plan limits: minutes, data, texts etc you won't receive extra fees for simply being rooted.

So a person had left their phone at work(which is totally unreal that somebody would forget a $500+ phone) 8/16. So our policy is after 60 days and its not claimed then anybody can claim it. So as of 11/22 nobody claimed it and I ask to take it. The battery was obviously dead and there was no charger. I came home and checked the IMEI on Swappa and it came back clean. So that means the person who lost it didn't put in a lost claim for it correct?
I guess I could always put it up on Ebay or something.
I charged it when I got in, and it was locked with a Knock code, so I guess I can just wipe it. There was no memory card but a sim
Contact the carrier. They can contact the owner through the sim information

I'm on a totally different carrier and totally different phone, I don't need it and 3 even if I did lose my Note, I would've filed a claim with insurance and if I didnt have insurance I would've called the carrier months ago. keyword in that was MONTHS ago. You act like you never found anything before, and technically I didn't find it, we waited it out. So insult me all you want
Oh and fyi the right thing was done. I was able to get the phone number last nite and had it looked up and I retrieved their email and emailed them .
Im done explaining myself to you, which really I shouldn't have anyway
Mods please close thread. All handled now

Just don't like hearing about someone taking advantage of a situation when they know better. Also, according to your post to thanks ratio, you don't seem too helpful, so I shouldn't have expected different. Don't post about you trying to get a free phone from someone on a site that is meant to help people with their devices. Sorry for the rudeness, I am a crude individual, but I'm sure no one would want this to happen to them. And just because someone may not have the common sense to report the phone lost or stolen does not mean they deserve to have it taken. I agree though, the mods should close this thread as the right decision was made in the end, and for that, I commend you.
I misplaced my nexus 5 some months ago and I blacklisted it with my carrier. To this day I haven't received any information to where it is. I still hope somebody "does the right thing" and returns it to att instead of keeping it.
