I have recently purchased this phone from eBay.. People are telling me that ebay sells -refurbished products that's why they are cheaper than other stores.. How can i check if my phone is new of refurbished?? Is there any way??
I have tried dialing *#*#786*#*#
and
also using RTN activites
Both the methods didn't worked?? Is there any other way??-

If you are planning to or bought a used nexus one there are a few things you should get from the seller if you want to have a warranty.
original purchasers:
-Address
-Purchaser name
-Google order number
you might be able to get away with just the address and name but itd be best to have all. i just went through a hell of a time finding the original owner of mine so i could get it serviced.
*mods, if you could sticky this or paste it into a stickied thread it would help allot of future buyers
actually i was looking for this info. after you have the original owners name, address do you call htc to change it to your own info?
Shouldn't this be common sense when buying anything major (lot's of money invovled)?
I bought a PS3 last year from someone off Craigslist. I kept his cell number, got the original recepit, and his full name off the receipt. I even wrote down his licence plate number and the color,make and model of his car.
I was so paranoid because he sold me a flawless 2nd gen PS3 80GB, sealed KillZone2, and BNIB PS3 Sixaxis DualShock3 controller all for $250. This was when the PS3 was still $400 and price cuts and the slim were still a rumor. However, dude was rolling in a mid-late 2000 M5. So either he didn't care or he also stole the car LOL.
I have all of those but i can't get it serviced because i live in Europe. HTC screwed me over with this one.

yes you can call htc to change the info or just wait till you need it serviced and do it while you request warranty repair.
if you are in Europe cant you send it in for repair instead of a device swap?

Hey everyone, my 1st post here in xda. I found this forum while looking up info on n7000 and every other forum mentions this one and I can see why. I know it's not a good thing to start out here asking questions but I need some advice.
Does anyone know where I can buy a brand new unsealed n7000? I read in this forum that different people buy from different places and some of those sellers aren't even selling anymore. I just tried amazon off someone called MasterDeals, I know that there might be problems trying to buy this phone but I tried buying from them because it was "fulfilled by Amazon", I just got my phone today and what do you know, There was no phone inside... just a empty galaxy note box and I can tell it was never opened because there was no security seal to begin with, and there is no left over marks of their being a seal( the side is completely clean). So there's a heads up. "Don't buy from MasterDeals."
And since there has been some issue with the screen and other function, What's a good way for me to check every aspect of the phone to make sure it is 100% new and working? Thanks in advance
Also I'm planning on buying from "FGS Trading" off amazon, has anyone here bought from them?
why didn't you buy a sgn from a authorised samsung dealer?

Just a question did yours have the original security seal on it?
Hi
As the tittle suggests i got duped with a v40 i bought in Ebay a while back, i was looking for a new phone with good sound quality and came across the v40 with all the Dac's and so forth sound quality is amazing, as much on headphones or connected to the car stereo receiver, so i am quite a noob with smartphones don't really got much into to it, so i just went on Ebay bought this phone, awesome because now i had music at work high fidelity style, but it was simlocked, actually the obvious thing to do was contact the seller and send it back (USA) but i did not because i was still living in a reality that all phones could still be easily unlocked, i was working in Holland at the time and when the corona hit after a few weeks i had to come back to Portugal and with a lot of free time in my hands i started on the quest to unlock the beast but no good, i used a few services to unlock but none can get the code, can not find any software neither and i came across a blacklist check site and there it was :cyclops::cyclops::cyclops: the phone is blacklisted because the owner missed payment and probably that is why they can not get the code, so my obvoius question is there any way i can unlock it? i do use the phone for music, GPS routed thru my old phone for data connection, and go to the web when i am at a place with WiFi but would like to use it as my main phone.
Thank you guys.
No way to get around it that I know of. What was the ebay sellers name? Curious if it's the same seller that sold me one that was brand new factory sealed. I just returned it and got my money back eventually. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the same seller and he tried to resell it. Seemed like a shady character after trying to get a refund.
Sorry to say, but you own a hot phone. It was sold illegally by the original owner who didn't technically fully own it themselves. If you pay off the original debt, that may remove it from the ban list.

Yes it seems like it, well i see that as a lesson learned, i did contacted At&t in the USA they told me that they can not do anything about it and that i had to speak to the seller, too late for that now, i guess i just keep on using it as a supped up Flac player lol and it is awesome for it, next time i will cash out a bit more and buy from the shop
you can buy a used unlocked motherboard from Aliexpress for around 70USD and swap the motherboards. Thats what I ended up doing.

Hello friends,
I ordered an unlocked Pixel 5 GD1YQ from eBay and was wondering if there is a safe way for me to check if the phone is truly unlocked. From research I’ve been doing it says that I can check the IMEI on Swappa, is that a solid way to check for sure or that’s not reliable? Also what would be a good way to know that the phone is not under some payment plan and that the seller stops making payment or reports it as lost/stolen and I end up having an expensive brick? I am aware that google or amazon(sold and shipped by amazon) or bestbuy (buy unlocked) would be the most reliable sellers but when money is tight sometimes you get a good deal on auction sites, that’s why I bought it on eBay.
Thank you
