I am going to meet up with someone later today to buy ATT NOTE 3
how do i make sure its not a fake /clone
What do i check for..
Ive seen some phones that are clearly clones but i know there is others that are very almost exact copy but are not original
i dont want to have a very expensive mp3 player...
I am going to ask the seller to meet me at a ATT store: if he doesnt want to meet there then i know something is wrong..
I already checked the IMEI with ATT and they said phone is good and can connect service with them.
Also im obviously going to check to make sure the phone im buying comes with the exact IMEI on the back
but is there a way to check software wise like in settings, phone info??
all help is appreciated...
*MODS Sorry if i posted this in the wrong section but it is a question and this is the question section also i did a search already and could not find any good answers..**

Just go into settings and about phone and verify the baseband version. A real AT&T Note 3 will have either MI9 or MJ5. To my knowledge none of the clones or fakes have official versions.
From what I know go into camera mod and see if you can zoom in or out with the volume button.

thanks to both of you that replied..
I met up with the person at a local att store..
I got there before the seller got there and ask one of the store reps if they could help me out with a deal i was about to do and help make sure that the phone was paid off not currently connected to any account and if he could prevent it from being blacklisted later...
When the seller got there , the store rep checked the imei made sure it was clean then verified with the person when he bought it..
and with the sellers permission went into the sellers account and found the NOTE 3 and placed a Comment/note on it saying HE was selling the phone to someone else
to prevent him from later calling and reporting it stolen.... Store rep was truly helpful and went out of his way to make sure i didnt have any issues later...
I made sure phone imei matched the box imei , made sure phone was good, not damaged etc...
all in all was a good deal.. $400 for it but selling my note 2 for $300
Glad everything went well. Most sellers would never take that kind of time to sell something. Hope you enjoy your new note 3.

If I can get one quick answer for how many times I might be torn apart for asking that would be great. Friday I added a new line to my family plan to get the evo. I am trying to put my hero running fresh 2.1.2 on another line that is one my account. I got it at Radio Shack and they had no idea what they were doing and screwed up my account. After a day and a half I finally got the accounts switched and when I activated the 3g wont come on the hero. I have all needed codes and have spent about 7 hours total trying to get it working. I am thinking about flashing back to stock but don't want to if not needed. Any help or at least a direction to be pointed. All else fails, I'm going to the sprint store.
Try it. Use the 2.1 ruu .exe in the 2.1 root guide. DONT DONT DONT accept the OTA when you boot or you can't reroot. Use the UNREVOKED.apk to one click root again.

Yeah, I'm thinking i was cause where I bought it. The people I got it from RadioShack had no idea what they were doing. They thought I was crazy when I asked them to switch some esn's around. When I talked to sprint they said radioshack had been screwing up alot of accounts. So if are buying from there, have them do nothing but sale you the phone and activate it. Heading to sprint, quick question, if I go in there with a rooted hero will they trip?

This has nothing to do with the phone being rooted.
FYI indirect dealers like radio shack don't have the full ability to switch around esns among lines on an account.
Basically three things have to happen:
first you have to free up existing phones on existing lines. (only sprint can really do this, save for doing an upgrade)
second you have to change the account to reflect the new phones on the new lines. (indirect dealers CAN do this once the line is freed up)
third: you have to initiate either an auto ota programming, or use unlock codes to edit the mobile identification number and your mobile directory number (these are both usually your phone number, but sometimes the MDN is not) Again, only sprint can do this as they have the unlock codes.
Your RS rep probably didn't realize this, and only changed around your account as needed. Now, true, they should have just called Sprint and made sure, or had you make a call on the hero to make sure it was working right... but let's be fair, I'll bet at some point in your life you made a mistake where you thought you knew what you were doing and it turns out you didn't.
Line switches like this aren't common requests at indirect dealers. They mainly handle new account and upgrades.
I work at a Radio Shack and we regularly switch lines around like that, we do have to call it in to Sprint though. As with anywhere it's rarely the company and more the person working that's stupid.

I sell att, verizon and tmobile for costco. I sell a lot of phones, but I've never sold a phone and sent the customer away with out the phone working and them to figure it out themselves. I usually reward salesman that overachieve and work for their commission by buying as much as i can. On the other hand I don't like to give credit that doubt know about what their selling. In other words, know what your selling, I always do and I've sold just about everything.

Basically here's the situation, been checking sites for a few weeks on good deals on 2nd hand Android phones. I recently started making contact with sellers and here's the bit.
Seller A - meeting tonight supposedly
Rogers "Unlocked" Captivate
Usb + Charger
$380
Haven't seen pics and the guy says to trust him that the phone is unlocked
Seller B - meeting tomorrow if I back down on Seller A offer
Bell Locked Vibrant (i9000M)
LNIB, bags, all accessories, etc
$370
Seen pics of the phone and accessories. Looks good (even seen it turned on)
I'm on Rogers and was wondering which would be best? I'm fine with either phone. At this point after seeing both for so long/often (researched) they're both on even playing ground...except for some speculations that i9000M (Vibrant)'s battery life is better.
So my question is...Seller A or Seller B? If I go with Seller B I'd have to root/unlock and I've read through threads and forums and seems like loads of people have problems :S More often than the person replying and saying thanks to the creator of the thread/helper and saying that they got it. So I'm having doubts about that. Don't want to mess up the phone!
Also, since this is my first dealings with buying something second hand from a stranger, any tips on things to check for? I heard it's always important to check that the phone can enter download/recovery mode but wouldn't that also reset the phone :S
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I personally like i9000M better (looks-wise) and of course, in terms of features, i9000M has a front facing camera which the Rogers Captivate doesn't. I am not sure if Captivate has problems flashing other roms.
As for things to check, you can bring a sim card from another carrier to test if the phone is unlocked. Test the camera, test phone call, check the phone condition and also firmware version (might give you an idea whether the last owner did a lot of flashing).
oooo true true...only thing is I have only 1 sim card from Rogers :S
I'm at the fork in the road right now...I won't be able to test phone call on the Bell one because the Seller B's bell sim is deactivated so he can only turn it on and what not.
Which is the safer bet? Best issue for me is the root/unlocking process. Though there are guides everywhere online and an awesome on here, I still read about many conflicts people have. And the interal SD card corruption (2 weeks after unlocking) I read about scares me
Is this the right code to check firmware?: *#1234# Firmware Version
Also I was told this should work...unless Rogers locked it: *#7465625# = Check the phone lock status
So you are willing to take the risk with possible hardware failure? right?
If so, choose Rogers Captivate.
If not go find a Desire Z or something like that~

You can unlock and root the i9000M easily though.

I can tell you that rooting and unlocking won't kill the phone. But you will have a high chance if you start flashing different firmwares on it.
The answer of which to choose is simple:
if you want front camera and hard key button go with Bell
if you don't need the front camera, and don't mind having 4 fake buttons go with Rogers
LOLOLOL 4 fake buttons haha jokes
Thanks! I'll go with Captivate and if n e thing goes wrong...or I dont like it...just sell it and grab a Vibrant (i9000M)
Thanks for everyone's contributions.
Got a little sketchy when he wanted to change locations lol wish me luck!! And going with the Captivate.
BOUGHT THE PHONE!
In working order. Thanks for everyone's input!
Just a little bummed about the responsiveness of the "fake" 4 buttons...gotta find the sweet spot when touching them. Or maybe it's just Eclair's fault lol
Long story short, found a google nexus one, rooted and installed cyanogen mod 7 nightly, phoned worked fine for months until imei got blocked. Was selling the phone to my mate who is on T-Mobile so he phoned them an requested imei be unblocked which was accepted, popped T-Mobile sim card in and then accepted an update an now the phone will not switch on, no bootloader/recovery etc?
Phone was originally vodafone if that makes any difference anything else u need to know ask away.
I'm not interested in a long winded way to get this to work, if it is something simple then great I'll try an sort it, if its a bad brick etc I'll just sell it for parts, Thanks
They blocked you cuz original prob knows that you be using it. Go return it. It's the right thing to do. Wouldn't you want it return to you if you lost your phone. I would.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
as in my other thread, u are making assumptions. i contacted the carrier who were uninterested, then the phone was blocked months later, dont know if it took that long to get through the system or whatever but when i contacted to get the imei released it was released without any further enquiry, so i dont see an issue with it.
If it was running CM7 and he update maybe that's why it got messed up.
thank you for your reply and yes i thought that was probably the problem but would that stop u getting into recovery mode etc, its black screen only?
Thread can be closed/deleted thank you
Bought a really nice Captivate on eBay about a year and a half ago when my carrier was swallowed up by AT&T. It came with the original box, paperwork, etc. and the numbers all matched up, so to me it was a clearly legit purchase and I've had no problems in the 18 months since I bought it ... until last night. (I no longer have any idea who I bought it from or how to contact him.) Last night out of the blue my phone was banned from the network, and long story short ... AT&T has the phone blacklisted and can't/won't clear it from their list. They're evasive as to why and what I find odd is the IMEI reported by the phone software doesn't match what's on the label. But again, never had a problem before last night. No amount of begging and threatening to switch carriers got me anywhere, even after escalating to different supervisors. AARRGGHH! So here I sit with a perfectly good phone that I can't use.
Seems the obvious solution is to rip it open and replace something with parts from a parts phone that isn't blacklisted. Might seem dumb, but what should I be replacing? I've already got it apart and am assuming it's the motherboard that holds the offending IMEI. Is that right? Aside from eBay, is there any reliable source for a replacement? I don't want to waste money replacing it only to find that the new one is also blocked. Or is there something I can do so the IMEI shown in the software is the same as what's on the label? I'm not trying to do anything illegal, just get my phone working again.
If it makes a difference, I'm running the stock 2.3.5 that came out around February, but rooted and unlocked. Could that be why the IMEI doesn't match and I took it all apart for nothing?
Thanks for any suggestions. I'm technically competent but almost completely inexperienced when it comes to phone hardware (and software), so please excuse my ignorance here.
Thanks again,
Brent
edit - oops. misread
I did just see that someone was talking about their IMEI being replaced by a generic IMEI, but that was due to flashing Jellybean. If you want to try to restore your phone to its own stock IMEI, you'll need to rebuild your /efs folder to get the phone to bring your correct IMEI back on. There's a thread in the development section that outlines how to do that.
My only other suggestion would be to go into a physical store (if you haven't already) and plead your case in person. People tend to be a lot more willing to work with you if they're dealing with you face-to-face instead of over the phone. Just state your case clearly, show them any materials you have to support your case, and be friendly with them. I would also suggest flashing back to full stock (unrooted) so they can't use that against you.
Thanks. I found that thread after posting but so far it has not worked for me. I just decided that for $30 it's not worth the hassle of trying to fix it on my own, so I'm sending it off to MobileTechVideos following recommendations elsewhere here.
Its super easy on the captivate. There's literally an app that restores it back to Froyo and the correct IMEI. Then you use the Kies to upgrade into GingerBread. If you got as far as rooting I'm sure you could do this.
Unfortunately I dont know what its called but I searched a lot and eventually you'll find it. It looks a lot like the Odin app

I figure for $30 (already spent; phone's already in the mail) it will save me the hassle of tracking down the software you mentioned, going through all the upgrade/root process, and restoring everything that was wiped out. Let's hope, anyway!

Greetings good people of the xda-developers forum!
After a little reading around I figure this is the most apropriate forum to post this thread in, correct me if I'm wrong.
Earlier this year I lost my phone in a cab after a night out, the driver decided to keep my phone instead of turning it in (usually if you leave something in a taxi in this region, you'll have it back with a little humiliation from the taxi-central the day after, not this time though).
A couple months after loosing it, I got a "emergency message" from my lost phone, and it went on and off for a little while untill yesterday when it apparently was taken into use! I have an "invisible" tracking app installed that will survive factory resets and gives me the opportunity to take pictures, record sound and some more.
Anyway, the phone has moved a couple countries away since it was initially lost, so I've lost hope of reclaiming it. My plan now is to give an honest shot at making my phone the most annoying device the new owner has ever had!
I come to this forum now, looking for inspiration/ideas and warning where warnings are due!
Is there anything I really shouldn't do, that could come back and bite me?
What would you do if you were in my situation?
Any good ideas of how to bother this guy?
So far I've only really come up with the idea of wiping his data from time to time..
I appreciate any ideas or warnings!
Thanks!

Isn't it possible, even with sim card phones, to call your carrier, report it stolen, and have it basically bricked so Noone can use it again. I know they can with like sprint and Verizon phones that don't take sim cards. But I've heard of it happening with sim devices too. I would just try calling your carrier.
If that don't work. I'd leave it alone. The person who has your phone now probably isn't the person who took it. Which is why it was sold out of the country. And that person most likely doesn't deserve all that crap

That's the nasty part of stealing a phone. The Carrier will lock the "ESN" (Electronic Serial Number) so all they need to do is flash it over to another carrier... I.E. if you have a GSN type phone from say AT&T you can flash the software over to T-Mobile who doesn't give a flying flip about a stolen ESN (As a example) I personally have T-Mobile... They did try to make a law making req the manufacture to add a "Kill Switch" allowing the consumer to render the phone useless how ever that did not pass... SO Basically some one steals your phone that's it nothing you can do but buy another phone or hack into it like the OP..
TO OP: I'd go Impractical Jokers Style. Ease drop on him and play really dirty sounds (Porn sounds... moans/grunts etc) then Fry the phone... **** that guy he had to know it was stolen and if he didn't he's a fool... Check your ESN's People!

It is indeed possible, but not flawless. There is supposed to be some automation to it in the country the phone was initially lost, but either this automation failed or it's sucess is the reason it left that country. Problem is though, the idea is that they block the IMEI from the networks, but some countries are not part of this agreement/system.
I think the guy who is currently in posession of the phone knows perfectly well how it was acquired. Judging from pictures taken through the phone, the taxi-driver and the current holder of the phone may very well be related. Also, the phone had it's language changed to Arabic by the taxi-driver, this has not been changed by the new user (not that it prooves anything). There is also the fact that the SIM inserted in the phone in the country I lost it in, followed the phone over to the current country, where it was replaced by what appears to be a prepaid SIM. I don't think this phone was up for sale anywhere, I think the taxidriver sold or gave it away to some family member coming to visit.
As mentioned, I have no hope of having it returned. I'm not gonna push this too far, but I do feel like putting a dent in his joy over his shadily acquired device.

As far as I've understood, in the European countries that are part of this agreement any locked IMEI number will be locked out of all mobile networks, this can only be worked around by changing the IMEI number or shipping the phone off to some country that is not part of this agreement. In the country my phone was lost the police send a notification to the networks when they recieve a lost/stolen report. Not sure if it went through in my case.
My list of options are limited to what my tracking software allows me to do, sadly (or happily, depending how you look at it) my programming skills are not by far sufficient for me to go beyond what the software offers, allthough I reckon someone with the right knowledge could use the tracking software as a backdoor into the device?
Wow. I'll be honest, I never thought them tracking apps would ever give you anything useful, but if your able to basically see every picture they take, take pictures yourself...I think that's crazy... wipe the phone....
What exactly can you do with yours? Read texts sent and received on the phone? Does it gps track its location on demand? Even if the gps is disabled in the device itself?
You said the one you have stays on the device even after restores and factory resets? What's the name of the app?
As for the locked esns.... If an American cell company like tmo locks one up, is that gonna stick over any of the carriers in the US? Basically, all 4 of them?
Cuz I know before, as long as you had a sim card, it didn't matter, you just swapped it for a new one.

Bro, dafuq, don't insult other members of xda. Calling religious icons schmucks will insult some people. THIS IS NO PLACE TO HAVE A RELIGIOUS WAR. So stfu and leave the thread back to it's topic. Thank you.
I'm using Cerberus. I had the same app installed without root access/without placing it in system/apps on another phone I lost a couple months earlier, in which case it gave me absolutely nothing. This one however, installed in system/apps with root access, appears to be "immortal".
I reckon they will have a comprehensive list of what you can do with the app on their homepage.
I don't know anything about how things are done in the US.
I'm not gonna do religious insults. I wan't to annoy him, not make him want my head on a stick.

App is still active today
