Friend of a friend in dire need! - Off-topic

Let me start by saying that this is totally genuine, and not just some crap that we see floating round a lot of the time. This is a friend of my friend, so I know it's real. She really could do with some help so if anyone is feeling kind after reading the details then any help would be appreciated.
Having lost my Father last year myself, and thankfully spending quite a lot of time with him before he left us, I know how important this is.

@Mods - I'm not sure if this thread will be left open. I hope it does, but if it needs to be closed then maybe you could just do it a little slowly?
Thanks to everyone. Please feel free to share this.
A friend of mine is in a really dire situ. Her Dad has been diagnosed with colon cancer and it's stage 4, and it's a 'come NOW' situation. Only she lives in Germany and her dad is in the US, and she is already maxed out on her credit card and very poor (until a job next month), and her Mum/Dad have spent everything on medical treatment. I am running a collection to get my friend home to see her Dad before she can't. I realise this is unusual, but so is the situ. Please help if you can, it would be gratefully received, if we all do a little we can get her there. Please message me if you can help, thank you.... xxx PS we have no time, this is urgent-urgent-urgent....

NP mate. If people as a race are to ever stand a chance of surviving, it'll be because charity becomes more important than greed.... or never at all.

I am sorry john, but due to the fact this is asking for donations from paypal, I can not justify it remaining open. If it was a recognized charity I could leave it.

I understand, and no worries. Like I said at the start, I wasn't sure. I don't know how much help has come from this thread in particular, but we're over 10% of the way to getting her fare, with all the posting that's been done for her, so every bit helps.
Thanks a lot to all who contributed or shared this.

Blocked phonecalls - Says "Stolen device"

Hi everyone, i've had a good luck and i've found this device yesterday, but when i'm putting my simcard in, it says to me that phone is blocked and on the list of stolen devices.
Is there any way how to pass thru this issue? What is necessary to change? IMEI...

This is best way for the guy, who lost it. I would like to hear about some other option... I've lost a phone as well and do you think that someone else was taking care of me? So i can say that i've got my money back

No... That doesn't sound like good luck, not in the slightest. That actually sounds more like someone sold you a stolen phone; or you found a lost one.
Either way, the phone has been blocked. It's no good as a phone anymore.

Now you're no better than the a** who found and didn't return your lost phone. Seriously, what type of responses did you expect to get?
Return it

Allright, hereby i'm getting mostly responses for the things, which were not necessary to write.
It's weird that everyones recommendation is about to give that phone back, but confess to yourself - if you'll be in my position - would you return that phone back?
Just wanna know if there is any way or option to get it running...

You are an absolute waste of ****ing oxygen. You are the exact reason people in this world go ballistic and end up doing mass murder. Please, for the love of God, do us all a favor and die. I can't believe that you would actually think someone would help you from this forum. Go back under the rock from whence you came. You are a worthless piece of ****. I first thought you had balls the size of a wrecking ball and then it hit me. You dont have any at all. You are just a ****ing tard.

Simple response: yes
In depth response: are you a ****ing retard or something? if you went and spent 300 quid odd on a phone would you be happy if some wanker happened to find it and decided not to return it?
As P1Tater said, do us all a favour and die.
I also thought drdingo21's response was quite appropriate

Yes, because I wouldn't be able to get it working. What's the use in having something that doesn't work?
Either return the phone to it's rightful owner or, if the phone is branded (or it is obvious what network it belongs to) return it to the network provider. Or hand it in to the Police.
You are going nowhere asking people how to get the phone functioning again. Basically you are asking advice on how to commit an illegal act.
IT IS BLOCKED! THE ORIGINAL OWNER EITHER LOST IT OR IT WAS STOLEN FROM THEM. DO THE RIGHT THING AND RETURN IT!
And Mods - can you please either lock or delete this thread? Thanks.

OK it's obvious that i'll not find "appropriate response". So please be so kind and as of now - stop with all illegal stuff like burning of authorized copies, right?
There's no way you can legally use this phone, to do so would be stealing both morally and legally whichever way you cut it. You don't have to be "god himself" to distance yourself from a common thief, which is exactly what you're trying to be.
Immoral and unscrupulous

What's amazing is that you continue to post replys that make no sense at all...and its not because of the fact that your english is weak, its because you are unscrupulous and immoral.
Virtually all memebers here would in fact do the right thing and give the phone back. You should do the same.
Don't expect any help from anyone here in your ploy to keep the stolen phone.

[Q] Need advice for a skydiving video competition

Hey there guys,
I need some advice in a personal issue! i did skydiving a few months ago and now i am participating in a video contest on youtube! the thing is, the guy who gets the most views wins a sponsorin for a full license!
I gained almost 2000 views yet, but that is not enough to win the competition!
so, the question is: do you guys know some methods, to increase the views in youtube in an efficient way?
the problem is that the video is not uploaded in my channel, so i cant do video-responses, modify tags or the title in "lady gaga naked" or something like that ! not that this would grab MY attention!
I´m not thinking about DDOS or somethin illegal!
Do you have some advice in this case?
The link is listed below. If you klick it without knowing any advice it´ll help me either !

thanks a lot for your help! and sorry about my bad english !
Greetings,

Evryone loves skydiving. Just post up the link in as many places as possible and let the fates decide!
Watching the video the instructor makes me laugh. He looks like he's in his element hurtling toward the ground at 120mph. Crazy!
How did it feel dude?

TL;DR
1. Either have somebody crash to their death or crash on someone to their (possibly mutual) death.
2. COSPLAY!
3. NAKED! <- might chaff
4. Weird landing targets! Like a giant pair of bewbs.
5. Skydive into the snowy mountains, snowboard down and cause an avalanche!
Tape it on you iPhone 4S with a crash landing.... if you get what I mean
+1 on Naked though
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
pulling the chute pin oh about 100 feet before landing might do it! nah.. just kidding. If you want to get many views post as much as you can in as many places possible. I was thinking you know facebook is one good place. a friend of a friend and before u know it it's viral!

Your invitation is very broad and because of this you may have difficulty having people respond to it. As funny as it sounds you may be able to get more to participate in the challenge and have it go on a bit longer if you ask for ideas from a certain category every week or month or so. Just an idea. Very cool idea though.
Sorry, please don't use xda to drive traffic to your facebook page.

I'm so confused by this thread what am I hitting thanks for the prospect that you may write a tutorial if we give you enough encouragement. Why not just not even post till you have the tutorial written and then if its something people like they will thank you on their own. This just seems like your trying to farm thanks for some reason.

So it is now May 25, 2015. Your tests are over. Where is the tutorial?
If your not going to post it, I think the moderators should delete this thread and delete the thanks you recieved. That would be the fair thing to do, don't you think so @SuperMan(Alex)?
There are enough useless threads like this one spread throughout the forums, let's not add anymore. Farming for thanks is childish and insulting to the rest of us.
Oh my god he got some thanks meter on the interweb, im calling my goddamn congressman.
Thread closed, no tutorial, and OP seems to be thanks farming.
