If I buy an unlocked Nexus 5 from someone on craigslist. (The person bought it directly from google. Im gonna use this phone on Tmobile.) Is there anyway he can later report it lost or stolen and I get stuck with a blacklisted imei phone that i cannot use?

Absolutely is. It happens all the time.
Edit, if you go thru with the purchase I'd meet at the t-mobile store and have them transfer the emei to you and your account. If the seller is not willing to do that then you'll know what his or her intentions are.
Take a photo of him handing you the phone.
its unopened... if that makes a diference

I strongly suggest that next time, just buy it off the carrier or an official store like BestBuy. You may not be scammed now but you never know what will happen the next time.
Also Nexus 5 is already unlocked...
I bought my N5 off someone from Craigslist without any issues, I have also bought many phones off Craigslist. Just meet at a cell store of your choice and before you purchase make sure it can be activated on your account.

I believe even if u meet at a store to check if it can be activate it without any issues, they can report it lost at a later time and get it blacklisted anyways.

What you can do with it is file a claim for fraud with local authorities. With email traffic, and a picture of the person's government issued identification, it is a cut and dry case. Just the fear of a case will keep most people honest to their deal.

If you immediately activate that phone on your account then that phone is now yours (pretty sure that is the case), I do not think anything after that point can affect your phone. This has been my experience on Sprint, I am not sure on other carriers.

Sprint CDMA is different. On sprint all I had to do was make sure that phone wasn't tide to an account and like u said activate on ura and ur good to go. But gsm is different since all u do is put in the sim

No. This is why I suggested a picture of him handing the phone over. That is more security. A picture of the licence plate proves nothing except identity (if that) and certainly does not prove the op didn't steal the phone

Hmm..maybe a little bit of misunderstanding due to the geographical differences. When you say license in the USA, you are talking about a drivers license. He took a picture of his identification with his name and address on it. Having a name, address, email traffic discussing the transaction, and the phone in question would be more than enough evidence to charge someone with fraud.
Ok, then what? Dont be naive. If Sprint or Tmobile does not believe you that you bought that phone, you gonna hire a lawyer and pay thousands of dollars to prove that you have bought it? You really are in mercy of the phone representative you get on the phone. I've bought tons of phones on Craigslist and resold them on Ebay. If Craigslist seller wants to screw you, nothing will help you out, because its a cash transaction.. Even if you have clear evidence on your hands police wont do ****, simply because its not worth wasting their resources for one phone.
But yes, if he let you make the picture of his license, then most likely he wont try to report it lost/stolen. But then again, if he got it from Tmobile for $50 and did not pay the bill, Tmobile will block the phone, like Sprint and Verizon always have done and you still can be screwed even if the phone is not stolen.
Hi,
I bought the unlock service for my sm-n920p note 5 phone. The connect my phone remotely. They make somethings then said the phone is unlocked. But my phone is not unlocked. I couldn't use my phone. Then my phone give invalid sim messages.
I couldn't reach support. Open a few tickets but nobody contact me. I reach them via chat but they said me phone is blacklisted and a lot of "mother ****er, **** off, etc". They don't give me money back.
They give guarantee theandroiddoctor_com/imei-guarantee
They said unlock will be permenant.
Please keep away this persons and send this messages to your friends.

My order number is 15288.
I can send a lot of screenshot from my unlocked phone. Why I'm so ungry for $15. I lost totaly $500 for this phone. So $15 is not important for me. I can paid another $15 for permanent unlock my phone.
If you are theandroiddoctor person, you should explain the all process. Why technician close the session after unlock process without my test result. Nobody answer me, nobody answer my support request.
All time they use bad words and their behaviour is not fair.

Because they aren't a true professional shop, they are someone that does this from their home. They don't care about whether your phone works, they only care about getting paid and they didn't do the right thing because they didn't want to pay for messing your device up because they don't have a true business like a true professional would.
That's what you get for trying to save money to get it done and trusting someone that you found on the internet instead of taking your device to a trusted and reputable professional shop, you get what you pay for, it's your own fault for being stupid enough to trust someone you found online.
You made a bad decision and now you're paying the price, get over it, move on and learn a lesson from it. Posting here isn't changing anything.

Regarding the Note 5, the phone can be restored to factory conditions by downloading Samsung Kies. Once downloaded fire up the software, select "tools" followed by "firmware upgrade and initialisation". Then connect your phone and the software will download all the necessary files, including the latest updates. I know this because they screwed my phone's IMEI during a unlock process, probably hoping they would squeeze more money out of me for a IMEI repair. Kies solved my IMEI problem, and their unlock wasn't affected by the Kies update (their unlock worked). These are unsavoury people who had access to my computer and phone while they carried out their half a job. Hindsight is a wonderful thing....

To add to the OP's experience, here is what i had to go through:
I asked about the process to unlock a galaxy s7 and the online chat support rep sent me a Google pay link. I asked him whether they'd support Paypal and he responded with a barrage of expletives, also threatening to install active x and hack my browser. NEVER EVER USE THIS SITE FOR ANYTHING.

It is but you do have to answer a few security questions, and prove you are the owner.
This is where 2 step verification comes into play...
Not so easy to get it reset if you aren't the owner...
Certainly, not easy, but not impossible... use YouTube, really helpful

latest security patch update makes it currently impossible to bypass FRP on the s8+ and you cant even downgrade to marshmallow to do it. they are getting closer to apples icloud...
I have the same but unfortunately I forgot every things which account. I need help to contact google to reset it because I have the invoice and I bought the device from operator in my company.
There's lots of ways around frp. Just Google it I wouldn't waste my time coming to xda for help, everybody here just accuses you of being a thief and shuts down the thread. In a world where everything requires an account, password etc etc a guy can simply forget what goes where. Simple as that
You can try these steps. However, it is not guaranteed it will work

if you have a stolen phone or have been scammed recently, nobody will help you commit voluntary criminal work. contact Google corporation headquarters. or you can contact their tech support facility. the company should help you out.

This is how it works a new user is not going to come on XDA and get help with this issue easily no reputation no one knows you.
Now say I for example I have 3500 posts Am known to visit police auctions in mobile devices. Legally I own the stolen device I have government paperwork proving this. whatever carrier by law has to unblacklist any device I have the paper work for.....
But google frp locks are a little different Get ahold of google if its that important. If you prove you legally own the device for a fee around 200$ american google will reflash them or whatever it is they do and unlock it but you have to send it to google...
Never have done it myself as stated I have legal binding sales slips states I own the device legally no matter the past history......
I wouldnt even bother as most methods you find are rapidly patched.
Its not against XDA to post Frp bypas, But as such this is a new device you should know your password or return it where ever you bought it from or get them to unlock. or contact google with proper paperwork.......
If you cant do these listed options to bypass then there is something else bigger at hand hence no help will be given....
Hello,
I recently received a second hand Google Pixel. It was running selfish N2G470 Sailfish 7.1.2. Upon further inspection I realized it was also OEM from Google. Once I purchased a Type-C charger to see if the phone even worked, I quickly realized it had the FRP locking activated and no way into the phone.. After days of Dead End video's, Out Dated Guides, and pointless APK files, I continued searching for a solution. A few days later, while shopping on EBay, I ran across a remote FRP service that said they would remote in using Team Viewer and have it completed within 1 hour after making initial contact with me after the purchase. I was skeptal. But the money was protected through PayPal and it was only $10.00. Soon after, I am contacted, remotely assisted, and step by step guide on the pixel itself and 15 min later, through the FRP Lock. I should have taken better instructions when he was telling me over video chat but, he left the version of platform tools on my pc, as well as his custom apk files and image's (it updated to 8.0 after frp bybass) Anyone interested in the files he left behind on my computer that he download from his server let me know. He used fastboot and adb. Let me know. If you know what your doing, it might help. I can kinda help guide you through the steps on the phone, my girl took a few notes on paper as well. I wanted to get this info out now, but I will come back soon with an updated tutorial. :good:

Where does one receive a second hand Pixel? If it was a hand-me-down couldn't you just ask the user to log in and remove their account from the device? Even if you bought it from a stranger they could have given you their Google password and then immediately changed it after you removed the account yourself. And just for curiosity, how much does a second hand Pixel cost?
it would probably help some people, yes.
If you post them, perhaps try posting them to a few different file sharing places; ie MEGA, rapidshare, etc so they can be shared for a while without being taken down.
Thanks for helping the community.
hey man, im in the same kind of situation and not sure what to do, was gonna use one these guys if i didnt get something sorted soon.

Well, the phone was givin to me by an old boss that could no longer afford to pay my hourly, under the table wage. I'm not sure where he received it from. Second hand cost? Well he owed me 75 bucks for a few hours of unloading & loading box trucks, so $75 bucks I guess...

You're joking right? An old boss.. under the table.. not sure where it came from.. 75 bucks.. come on.. this is a 700 dollar phone. Where did it really come from? You should know before you use it. Otherwise throw it out. It's not worth the bad karma. Just my opinion.

Doesn't matter if you sold the phone. Anything under the table is implied as is. No amount of money is worth your own person security. You should never under any circumstance tell anyone any of your passwords ever for any reason whatsoever
Edit: the right thing to do of course would be to remove accounts before frp or to be on-site when they set up their phone but not everyone even knows about frp and even less of the general public will know how to actually remove accounts

Under the table? What exactly does that mean? Illegal? You either delete your emails and change your pwd or pay the price. Let's not get crazy here. It's just an email password for perhaps 2 minutes to make some money that is "under the table". If you can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen.
Under any circumstances, ever, whatsoever? Come on.. call me paranoid. Figure out how to do it safely. I'm sure we have the mental capacity to do something like that. Or refund the money.. simple.

No I'm not saying illegal I'm saying any direct transaction from one person to another like anything not done through an actual retailer. And no you really shouldn't be giving out passwords at all for any reason. Having that information for 2 minutes can create a window for someone to figure out your typical password structure or cross reference a fair bit of information that could lead to access to a lot more than what was intended. Again I'm not saying that not properly wiping the device so someone else can use it is okay, but I am saying it is not the responsibility of the seller to give you any passwords or personally identifiable information. It is also the responsibility of the buyer to know and ask about potential frp situations or at least understand the implied "as is" condition when buying really anything directly off of someone else.
You make a good point. Although I still think the seller has the responsibility to sell the device so it can be used by the buyer. That seems to be implied by selling it. Almost like I'm selling you my car but.. well sorry dude .. you can't have the keys. Not my problem but yours since the car is in your driveway.
Well selling a car is kinda different and has actual legal restrictions to prevent that such as title transfers etc
I want to learn some basic stuff and have a ton of questions. I posted a few but the 1 person that Dm'ed me when I tryed to ask more questions yelled at me for having tone when even though I was very nice because I am greatful that he took the time.
I do not want to get yelled for no reason so there is no way I will ask him anything else.
So is there anyone willing to take sme time to have a conversation with me about a samsung S6 phone?
No one is going to yell at you for no reason... if they do it's a lick on them.
Post your questions so others can learn as well.
No one person knows all the solutions so you benefit from more sources of knowledge by posting the questions on the forum.
Or simply be patient as you will eventually find the answers you seek... works for me.
Ok I was given a phone samsung from a lady that changed to a new company.
The phone she gave me has no sim card and has been resotred to start.
What th woman who gave it to me and I both do not know is if the phone is carries locked and how to gey it unlocked.
I have googled and it seems there are a lot of unlock code generators that charge a fee.
Can anyone tell me first is there a free one second if not one that is not some kind of a scam.
The phone says it is a Samsung SM-G920A.

Have the last owner sign in on the phone and delete their Google and Samsung accounts on it.
You can then do a factory reset and configure it as you please.
That's the easy way... any other way will be much harder.

Maybe I am not explaining this right.
The samsung phone has been reset so it is like it is a new phone.
It was a ATT carrier and I want to use it on a differant carrier so I need to unlock the carrier.
So I am looking for a way to unlock the carrie.
So what I am looking for is a
Unlock Code Generator.
Is there one that is used and not a scam?

The easiest way is to have AT&T unlock it.
If there's no outstanding balance on the account they should. Usually the account holder does this, not sure how this will work in your case.
AT&T can still/could have blacklist(ed) the phone's imei even if you use a 3rd party unlocker.
Probably best to work it out with AT&T. They are very intolerant of delinquent accounts though. If a balance was owed by the previous owner they will probably want it paid to unlock it. They just want their money. If no money is owed you should be alright.
As much as I know... I may be mistaken. Never had to play with this.
