[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ktracho316:
The long awaited Story!

Well First off thanks everyone for not helping me out at all lol! Seems the story is the only reason why you guys even bothered to reply to the question lol. Luckily for me I decided to just download a jellybean Rom and dirty flash and it sure did put me in a boot loop...not entirely what i was looking for because instead of being at the Samsung screen it was a Slimbean screen kept flashing. All that aside, at the end of the day it wasnt even necessary.

But the good part for you all!!! THE STORY!!

I have a Galaxy Note right...Well my sister in law's boyfriend said he had "found" one. She let me know that whenever she tried turning it on it would but 2-4 seconds afterwards it would just shut off. I told her to bring me the phone to check it out, when she brough it to me I tried turning it on and no luck. i tried my battery in their phone and no luck... So then i tried putting it into Recovery...it wouldnt it would just vibrate over and over with black screen. I even tried putting it into download mode to use odin...still no luck. I let her know there really was nothing i could do, what i could do was sell it for parts on ebay. or maybe sell it as is if price was good. she said ok. She was trying to sell it to me and have me fix it and keep it but as i saw i couldnt i refused offer and offered here to do so on ebay.

weeks passed and I never put it up for aution.... she let me know to give the phone back as her dude had a friend who wanted to buy it and he was giving him $100. I ignored it and a week passed by.

I was bored at home and said shoot might as well do some research and see whats really wrong with it or check if someone else has had this experience...and sure enough there was a thread on here. It seems that stupid power button on the phone was stuck. Another member asked the question in this thread and my man Bubbajoe40356 along with some other guys gave us the answered we wanted. After messing with the phone finally got it into download mode and also recovery with pulling out the battery each time after automatic shut off. Opened up the phone, cleaned out the power button and voila!!!

As the phone turned on I saw it was some ones phone i knew (not friend but i knew her) it was actually my sister in laws friend... So i told her i dont think your dude found this phone he JACKED it from your friend...her response was "LMFAO he probably did"... So i figured i dont know the girl and this dude f***ed her over so im going to do the same to him.

I told him I had already sold it on ebay and only got $60 for it and i needed to ship it.

(now the part that this whole thread was created for)

If he was to ask for the phone back and say no F that than he would get a Bootlooping phone and make it seem like phone was still messed up. If he didnt and went along with my plan then he would say ok give me the money and i could revert easily...

Long story short, he took the money and im left with a perfectly fine working note. Im guessing it was already stolen prior as it was running on tmobile since it was already rooted and blaze 4g modem was flashed on it. But I will call Att and make sure and see whats the deal. My plan is to sell it and make money off his stealing ass!
