cant believe my damn luck.... long story short, i finally get my credit card and bills under control cuz of my new job as an electronics serv. associate and this was my first paycheck that i can spend a little on myself for a change.... i saw an ad bout two days ago for a Touch Pro that wowed me cuz they barely sell it where i usually buy for a decent price and i call up the dude... apparently he still has it and i told him to wait up till saturday where i get my check so i can take it off his hands... staurday is here and im dying to get out of work to cash my check and go pick it up but the office secretary wasnt there so i had to wait an extra hour till she arrived so she could give me my check. hour passed... got my check but apparently no bank was open today so i thought i was fuked cuz i cant get the cash to buy the pro 2day, so i call up my mom and i asked her if i could borrow the amount for the pro and id give it back 2morrow when i cash the check, fortunatlly she accepted and i had my dough... i call up the guy again and since he was from like 3 towns away, we settled on a meeting spot in between. we arrived and the guy gives me the box wit everything in it including a mint condition touch pro, it was a little short on battery so i wanted to activate it home but i first called and see if the esn was good wit sprint... it checked out a-ok but when i got home and tried to activate it, the msl code would not unlock the epst menu, so i hung up on like the third try. i tried online and it went though but still the code would not unlock even though the site told me what i needed to do... 5 minutes later i saw something peculiar, it said on sprint.com that i owned some old ass samsung wit no pic on the model, so i checked the pro to see wtf happened, after some observing and scratching i found out that there was a perfectly places sticker, on top of the pros esn covering it up perfectly like it came that way with the model id and esn of some other device!!!! i took that shit out and ringed sprint again to find out that the pros esn was in use although it has no service and repoted already....... i ring up the dude that sold me the phone, no answer.... 30 minutes later, phone off.... an hour later, no service.
this ****ing sucks man, i thought i finally got myself a touch pro to be able to hang out at Wckediden again like i used to, after the all the shit i have been through selling my touch last month or so b4 i got my job to be ripped off man...... what i can do with this Pro now?? I cant activate it so im barely interested in it now.... so want to find a reason to not bash it against a wall.... (this is the part where you find different ways to say "you're screwed") I placed and ad for it for people who want to activate it in a provider besides sprint, but sucks to swim an ocean to die at the shore... now to tend to the big hole in my pocket... thanx for reading....

Dude -
So sorry to hear about what happened to you. I would suggest giving the number and the story to the local cops and see what happens. Also saying this to you - getting burned isn't worth going to jail. Murphy's law prevails dude, you find him and pound on him, and you'll probably go to jail for assault or even attempted murder, since it's premeditated. In regards to what do you do with that awesome brick you've got in your hands, I dunno what to tell you. You may find someone that physically damaged their phone that wants yours for parts; maybe you could get sprint to let you clone the esn and msl to the one you have. If you've been with them for a while and know a rep near you, you might get lucky if you tell them what happened. If possible, do you have a copy of the ad that you responded to? Find a cutie at the sprint store and lay it on thick, you might get lucky in more ways than one! You could probably load it up will all kinds of wicked stuff to help push the sale for another network. A theme and a cool rom, some apps, whatever. Might even get to have the start of a local mod service, if you play your cards right! BTW - here's my parting shot ==== if it sounds too good to be true.... Good luck to you! |

dude......there may be a path to salvation.........First of all, did they respond to you that the phone is stolen or just that it was just a bad ESn?
If it is not reported stolen, then what you can probably do is flash it to Cricket or VZW.....I would think that should take care of your problem.....sell it and make your $$ back......if you need some links, i will help get them to you.....been studying on how to flash the TP to work on Cricket..... if it is reported stolen, call your local cops.......tell them what you discovered and they might do some digging and try to get to who sold it etc........cant say that they necessarily will, depending on the department, but might be worth a shot..... |

Yeah, sell it on ebay. You could get some dough for it there too. They have the best deals on the TP around.

Damn bro that is BS!!! I understand how you feel man and I know it's not fair but carma is a ***** and he most likely had a blow out n his way home...if not he will get his... what goes around comes around ya know. It doesn't help you either way...the only thing that will is to customize it and flash it on another carrier...that's only solution to get money back in your pocket. I feel reallly bad bro and I'm sorry that happened to you! I have had some similar things happen to me as well in the past....but you gotta just put your thinking cap on and overcome this man..don't let some looser bring you down too far..keep your head held high and make the best of it...I hope you are able to sell it man...

ok heres the update....
the touch pro is running fine but the net wasnt working... i took it to sprint and they told me that the inner workings of the usb port were broken and it was hard to communicate with the device via cable so they could not do their shit, i though it was BS cuz it charges and connects to activesync as well as flash drive just fine till i tried to unlock the device which always gave me communication errors... i can do it via sd card no problem as i did and flashed energyrom just now but i still cant connect to the web and they said theres nothing that can be done about that and i would have to call insurance and shell out 100 bucks for another one cuz the in-store warranty did not cover that. im thinking of selling it again via my local online classifieds like i always do cuz now that it works on sprint i can get a lot more that what i paid for it. What do you think? if i can get my web working i would most likely keep it since i can flash via sd no problem and switch it for a pro2 easier than paying for it. i tried to update profile and prl but they always fail... i always get a incorrect username/password error 067 nd shit if anyone can help me get my net workin again i would fully thankful and be back in da game, where can i manually get my internet settings?? cuz the carrier cab and prl cab dont work... |

Doesn't NRGZ Rom require you to run a .cab to get the data working? I thought thats what I read in one of his threads.
