[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevnube:
I suppose after a trade you can call in your old phone lost/stolen if the other guy does it to your "new" phone. If you just buy a phone, then I can see what happened to the OP being much more likely.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brex91:
possibly, but like i said, that's why I swap sims. After that the phone is activated on my account, they can't report it stolen. I make sure I have a signal before the trade is done.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevnube:
Now I'm confused. So in the case of the OP, he should have activated it with Verizon first (Verizon phone)?

He said it was working with T-Mobile, then it stopped working.

Never heard of a Verizon phone being blocked from the other carriers. I bought a bad esn Verizon note 3 for my girlfriend off eBay and she still using it on AT&T. Please update on the situation if you're able to use with AT&T
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indgirl6:
so OP, did anything work out for you?

This just happend to me too..

I lost my AT&T S4, and since i had over a year left on the contract i sought craigslist for a new phone.

I purchased a used Verizon s4 for $380 from a person claiming to be the original owner, he said he upgraded and was selling the current phone.

I put my AT&T sim in the phone and it was all good.. i had signal and tested it by making a call to the sellers phone.. I did other physical check to make sure no water damage etc.

I purchased the phone and switch the SIM back to my temp dumb phone. when i reach home i was googling APN settings for AT&T when i came accross a link that mentioned bad ESN, so just for the heck of it, i plugged in the ESN of the new phone and turns out it was reported Stolen!!

i am little scared to put in my SIM back into the phone... is it OK to put the SIM back? will it work? is there any other issues i may face?

Ofcourse i tried contacting the seller,, but as exected, he has not responded yet.

I checked ESN on checkesnfree.com, as well as the verizon site and they all report it as stolen.

I checked same ESN on tmobile site and used the ESN # as IMEI, and even tmobile site said it was stolen.

I did the same thing on Swappa.com and they were not able to determine ESN status..

on AT&T, if i go in as a new buyer, add SIM card to my cart, it asks me to enter device IMEI and it accepts it.. the AT&T rep told me that this was a good way to check if IMEI is clean or not.. so i am assuming IMEI is clean on AT&T, but for how long??

Sorry i know i am asking Too many questions.. but this has been so sudden and unexpected.. kind of feeling like a fish out of water!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
If a phone is reported stolen, it will not work on T-Mobile or AT&T. If it is bad esn/imei for non payment, then it will only be blocked on Verizon.

verizon note 3 blacklisted

hi i also have a note 3 for vzn its unlocked and i was using t-mobile then the next day no service

so i called verizon they said they dont block there phones so i looked up the imei and for sure it was reported

so i decided to cal l asurion and they were the ones who put out the block and i told them the situation that i brought the phone of someone blah blah and they culdnt do any thing

so i was wondering if i use att would it work or would they eventually block the imei on that network as well ? i tryed my friends h20 sim and it works but i dont want to get a sim then they block that as well do small company's even track the imei ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warriorpluto:
Nope. If it's been reported on tmobile then att has been alerted as well. I tried that already three times. Even with net ten and straight talk.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungunderfire800:
wow really does it work for a few days then stop working ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gypsy214:
It is cruel when someone buys a phone and the next day it's reported stolen, or when you're selling a phone and people come up with fake money. That is why I hate craigslist. And all of their scam from Africa and locals too. Not to mention that now scams use fake post that look real to get you to sign in to quitbits.....

I know it is against xda rules but I'm not going with details. Again going back to craigslist you can find people that can unlock bad esn phones.

Bought a sprint gs3 off ebay. Didn't want it so I sold it to a guy. I show up early to sprint and bring it in to be sure everything is kosher and the guy gets a good deal. They tell me the phone is fine. No problems what so ever. Well the guy gets there and he's inside activating it. I had a bad feeling so I hung out outside and sure he comes out the rep said it now can't be activated something is wrong with it. Long story short it's still in my closet...

I was trying to upgrade to 4.3 through kies (I9300XXUGMK6) on my dutch non-rooted I9300, however when downloading the firmware to my device it was stuck at 4% and rebooted. Now I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". Already tried that but it fails every time. I've also tried flashing the firmware with odin (like posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671969 ) but it also fails everytime.

I've tried to go in recovery mode (Volume up + home + power) but get the same firmware error message. Does anyone know how I can get my phone to work again?

---Fixed---

Used another cable and tried the emergency recovery again, this fixed it and updated it to android 4.3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlackingVeteran:
Was the process stuck at downloading process or while flashing it? While the firmware is getting downloaded no flashing process is done.. Can you please explain it properly.. Have you tried emergency recovery?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1952397:
It was stuck while downloading from the pc to my phone, and yes I have tried the emergency recovery but it will not download to my phone.

Update: I have found the solution, it was a faulty cable! That was why it was stuck on downloading. Thanks for asking the right questions!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moneyhbags:
I successfully had Cyanogenmod installed, but now when I turn my phone on it stays stuck at the loading screen and goes back and forth to the HTC start up (the screen before the Cyanogen loading screen). I tried reverting back to stock using the RUU but it fails every. single. time. and there's nothing I can find that will help me at least get my phone back working.

Any help? My carrier is T-Mobile
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leesumm:
Sounds like possibly you need to flash the boot.img on it. I think , a senior member will correct me, but if your S-On and rooted, you should do that , S-Off don't require the boot.img.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moneyhbags:
I don't know what S-On or S-Off means, but it's been like 20 minutes and it's now stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant screen.

I did do a back-up before I rooted it. I tried re-installing Cyanogenmod but the installer says my phone is unrecognizable.

edit: still stuck at Cyanogen loading screen =(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leesumm:
S-ON or off means security is on or off, If you haven't done the mod to S-Off , your still stock S-On. To see for sure though , in the bootloader mode at the top it will say Tampered first line , then the second should say something like M7 ??? PVT ship. S-On

What recovery are you using? CWM or TWRP . Do you know or use ADB?

I just reread your OP and you said you RUU'd. why? I think too with S-On you have to relock the bootloader to RUU then unlock after boot. You can use the same unlock.bin code that you used to unlock the first time if you still have it too . Best if you done the root and everything else , do some reading on S-Off procedure and do that .
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moneyhbags:
Just checked, it's Tampered, Unlocked, M7, and S-On.

I used CWM for recovery and I have ADB.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leesumm:
I have had better luck with TWRP the latest one which is I think 2.6.3.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moneyhbags:
Yeah well I'll switch to that once I figure out how to get my phone to at least start working...

any help?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peca_slo:
I had the same problem like you... I have installed first twrp 2.6.3.3 then root the VIPER ROM, so I finelly got into the phone... Then I have flashed again vith ARHD 41.0 ROM and my phone is working perfect :) But I had the same problem as you... this is becouse of the S-ON and you stuck in boot-loop
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leesumm:
IF you can get to recovery, do you have a backup that is working ? If not you may have to unzip the CM rom, look for the boot.img , put that into the adb folder then run adb with fastboot flash boot.img , then reboot and it should go. If you have a back up of the Cm rom you might be able to go to recovery and do a restore from the backup there. And another thing you might do. Not sure if it will mess it up but/ fastboot erase cache then boot
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moneyhbags:
I just fixed it. I downloaded the stock T-Mobile recovery.img for HTC One, then opened the command line used fastboot uploaded the recovery.img then used that to recover and it just magically reinstalled the Cyanogenmod.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leesumm:
Good glad to know it works again.. Now do some reading on S-Off sounds like you have some idea of ADB so it really isn't that hard and it will make flashing easier in the future. You might even consider a full GPE conversion. I did it and like the Kit Kat but running Elegancia and once in a while revert back to the GPE with Xposed and Gravity Box KK for a mod. Super good battery.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
boot to recovery

clear cache and delvik

reboot to bootloader

fastboot USB and type

fastboot erase cache

now see if your phone will bootup

If no, find a different rom to flash

and here is a recovery flashable version of TWRP, flash it the same you do a rom and reboot to recovery to see it

Im going to just put this out there.

I have to post ten times here? to be able to post on a different area of this website? Bogus. Just because I havent posted doesnt mean I do not know anthing about the process. I follow instructions as they are posted and end up with very few questions if any, and almost always find the answer in this forum by reading my butt off. It just seems lame that after reading a thousand pages of a forum on a ROM I cant post a quick question on that forum. Anyway, Its ROM specific and this thread has nothing to do with it.

Enough crying like a 3 year old........

I downgraded a GS3 I747 from 4.1.2, to 4.1.1 root injected (Mr. Robinson), installed TWRP v.2.6.3.1 and did a flawless flash of Hyperdrive 16. This was my first smartphone, first flash, first anything when it comes to this world and I love the ideas, concepts, and especially this community. I am now wanting to venture out into some other ROM types, i.e. AoCP, AOKP. But after reading through the entire 214 pages of the AoCP collective project. I would like to try it, I need to post questions in that post related to that ROM though. What I have gathered is that I need to flash the bootloader, and modem before I flash the ROM or it will fail. Coming from a Stock Mod, I am wondering about the specific steps involved for coming from Hyperdrive to this.

Thanks and I should have just busted this up into ten posts huh?
