You can have my slx for 230 Euro. Like new with everything that came with the phone when I purchased. Everything works and recently HTC replaced with the new motherboard. Warranty till Feb 2013.

AT&T Warranty Replacement Condition

For those of you who have gone through the AT&T Warranty Replacement process, what condition did your refurbished phone come in?
I'm asking because I just received a replacement request and there are a bunch of scratches on the screen. I thought refurbished meant "like new" quality but just wanted to ask the others on the board to see what your experience was.
Thanks in advance.

I've received replacements device's a few times. Every time I received one its in mint condition. I never saw even the tiniest of scratches anywhere on the device. You should definitely call the warranty department and let them know you want another device and explain to them why you are making the request.

Yep I just got a Galaxy S 4 Active warranty refurb. It looks brand new.
That reminds me, I need to mail the old one off.

Flawless condition. However, I only received the main phone: no battery, back or stylus. (I'm assuming that's normal)

My replacement was brand new. It came in a sealed box and the phone had the plastic on it and everything. I don't know if you have a deductible, but mine was $200 and for $200 I'd better get a brand new phone...
I loved the feeling and sound of pulling the screen protector off of a new phone.
I got 2 replacements phones the first one was in a box and in immaculate condition but had an issue with ram partition, they sent me a second phone that was wrapped up in plastic and had a couple of fine scratches on the screen.

Refurbished phones should typically be in like-new condition. There should not be any scratches on it. Return it.
Thanks everyone. That's what I pretty much figured.
Called AT&T and complained. Another refurbished one is in the mail. Hopefully this one is in better condition.
Has anybody been able to successfully get a replacement with a phone that was rooted by towelroot?

Yes, I was able to root my replacement phone using TowelRoot and also install SS, just to make sure.
I'll have to Odin back to stock though before I send it back for the other replacement without scratches.

I could be wrong but I believe you can use @designgears one-click method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2619941
Or worst case scenario, just take it to Best Buy Samsung Center and have them do restore the phone for you.

The link you posted is to the leaked software ending with MLG. That is not official software and if any warranty department checks this you would instantly be voided.
Best buy would be your only hope.

Good catch. Is there another way to revert to stock before sending back in?

You can restore your nandroid backup to the stock slot. Remove any apps requiring root access. Remove safestrap, then un-root.

I spoke to my local Best Buy store associate yesterday and he said they'll do it if the phone was purchased there.

Went to the Bestbuy store and the Samsung reps helped me reflash to the stock firmware. No questions asked. I handed her the phone and she plugged it to her pc and flashed it without checking anything on my phone. Flashed only took like 5 minutes. I'm back to stock.

I've had a phone restored to stock by Best Buy before that wasn't purchase there.
I don't think they have a set policy. It just depends who you talk to and if they are cool or not.

I actually just bought a brand spanking new note 3 for my son and it had mj5. What was the luck of that.
Sent from my SM-N900A using XDA Free mobile app
had my note 2 replaced and the replacement phone was not up to par for me. so i called and complained that my phone i was sending them was in better shape than the replacement. they said they would make sure i get a nice one. the 2nd one they sent me looked like a brand new phone. all the stickers on it and not a single mark anywhere, dont settle for crap that they send you. make sure you like it or keep sending them back

My understanding is that the device would have to be purchased from them and in US only.

I am! i just found out you can do that!
They give you two options and i chose the latter...
which is, I pay 175 Plus a 500 dollar security hold,
they send me a new phone, i then send mine to them,
they assess the damage, then take the 500 dollar
hold off my account.
so for 175 i get a new phone.
Best Deal Ever compared to 275 to have someone just
replace the screen.
Thanks though guys/girls!

Anyone having screen issue something like blue on top and yellow at bottom.

What should i do. Return it or replace it. I got it from india amazon. And it came oreo 8.1 preinstalled. So is it weird.
I do not have that issue. Check your guarantee terms and proceed with them or your seller what should you do.

I had similar issue with View 10 once. They had sent me a set with face unlock etc already pre installed.
My gut told me something is wrong... Turned out to be a 2nd hand unit sold as new by Amazon.
Got myself a Refund ASAP...

I couldn't see anything wrong in the pic but if you do because you have the device before you, ask for a replacement right away.

In my case i just asked for replacement on amazon. The customer service tested mine through an app n then he initiated the process of replacement but the units are not available to the seller so i asked again for refund and they just gave it to me.

In that case if its less than 10 days old i will suggest u to get replacement or refund. Bcz i think amazon is recirculating the same device to other customers. Even if u r having the device more than 10 days just give it a try
