So I would have to sell the phone and then buy another phone full price?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] wase4711:
so, if you want out of your phone early, lets say 2 months after you sign up, if you sell your phone outright, and pay off your EIP, can you get another phone with monthly payments, and start a "fresh" jump cycle?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
The jumps don't refresh. So if you are for example past the first 6 months paying off the EIP will not reset that initial 6 months.

You can upgrade twice a year(under the old). The new one you can jump anytime as long as 1/2 of the device is paid for.

This is coming from experience. I already used 2 jumps on one line and I paid for my G2 outright.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] wase4711:
yeah, I am thinking about selling my flex on ebay, then using that money and some of my own to pay off the EIP, then get a M8..
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jfree3000:
Thinking about doing this with my note 3. Friend of mine got the m8 and I did like it, but that huge HTC banner on the bottom waste so much screen real estate. Only thing keeping me from swapping.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] m0j09987:
So another another word. I would sell my note 3 in craigslist then pay off the 5s. Then when the 6th month comes I can upgrade to a new phone? Correct?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] wase4711:
according to tmobile, when I called them yesterday, anytime you sell your existing phone, and pay off your EIP, you can get a new phone, and your jump period stays the same; In other words, for me, I started in February, and my first jump is 6 months later, in August. It doesnt matter if I sell my old phone and get a different one in May, as long as I pay off my ORIGINAL EIP, my initial jump period stays the same..
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] m0j09987:
Okay that sounds good how do I find out my eip for my phone?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] wase4711:
log into your tmobile account, on their website, and its in the details on your specific phone...if you have multiple phone lines on your account, just look for your phone/phone number...

The EIP amount will be the total retail price of the phone on your account, LESS any monthly payments you have made.

My gflex was 678.00, and I have made 2 -28.50 payments, so my EIP balance is $621.00

That is the amount I would have to pay off, so I could start a new EIP purchase plan, without adding another line..
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] egcthree:
This is true long as you pay off your phone you can switch any time you please.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
This.

Selling and getting a new EIP doesn't affect Jump.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] altimax98:
+3 I had spoken with them when going through a situation and they stated the JUMP is on the line not the phone. So 2 JUMPs per line per year (old). But you can buy/payoff as many as you want in between and keep JUMP going
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
Jumping requires the original phone on the current EIP on that line for clarification.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sweets55:
If your credit is good with T-Mobile you can finance more then one phone at a time. Not the smartest thing to do though. LoL
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] otariq:
Not trying to bash anyone but jump seems like a complete waste of money to me. Let's say you pay half the phone price that's roughly $325 and add $60 for 6 months of jump so $385. If you just sell that $625 phone after 6 months on swappa you're bound to get almost $475 for mint conditon (after shipping and fee) if not more. In this case you're only paying $150 remainder and saving over $200 compared to the $385. This is my first phone from tmobile unsubsidized but I think it was a terrible decision on their part to go this route. It's more expensive for my family. If my brothers and I want a new phone that's $1800. With contracts we paid $600 total for 3 phones for 2 years and our monthly rates haven't changed much. The newer featues like free roaming data and international text is nice but they're making all that money and more back through unsubsidized phones. This is just my opinion I may be wrong. Are you guys actually saving money via jump or do most people just like replacing phones every 6 months and this is just convenient for them? The nice thing is you can let the phone get beaten up more with scratches and it doesn't matter too much. Again, not bashing on anyone using jump just curious as to why take this route
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
If you l like to take your time selling then yes it's a waste. Living where I live have higher probability of being scammed. So trading in is preferred. Also your resale values are a read high. Usually in 6 months you'll be lucky to get 50-60% if the value for your phone in all honesty.

Under a contract you are paying $1800 anyway for your phones. It's bundled into that contract. T-Mobile is being more transparent about it now.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] otariq:
I think it was a fair price estimate. I just checked swappa and the gs4 was averaging for $353 with the last sold going for $360 I think. That phone is officially 1 year old now. So, within 6 months I'd think you could at least get ~$450 for the m8. What do you mean by being scammed? Like getting ripped off when selling it? I'd always sell where you have buyers protection like eBay or swappa with PayPal. And about the $1800 I was speaking about my personal classic contract plan. Since we were customers for almost 10 years we got a pretty good deal I had 5gb data for $10 which now only gets you 3gb. Our monthly rates were almost the same as what I pay now maybe $20 more per month. That's a $480 dollar savings with uncarrier but once you put the $1800 for 3 phones, I'm still paying $700 more after 2 years vs the $600 for the phones + $480 ($20 extra per month) under classic plan. Oh well not much I can do about lol. Thought about switching to Verizon but their monthly rates are absurd I'll check with att but their service is usually ****ty. T-Mobile has really impressed my with service reception in the last year.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
Those phones tend to come with accessories, and shipping included with the price in 99% of the cases. Take the shipping and accessories out. So they probably made $300 out of that $360.

Sorry if you think eBay protects everyone. I have friends has gotten ripped off to many times from eBay. Even PayPal isn't all that friendly to sellers.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] wase4711:
I dont know if Ebay protects everyone, but if you are careful, and know what you doing, ebay/paypal works really well; I sell stuff on there all the time, and have sold at least a dozen phones over the years and never gotten ripped off, since I only ship to buyers after their payment clears, and I have transferred their $$ to my bank.

As far as the phone "values" when sold, your numbers are pretty high; when using Ebay, you have to figure on 18% of the sale price goes to ebay/paypal/shipping, so that 380 dollar phone actually nets you about 310 dollars or so..

jump is great if you like to get new phones all the time, and need/want insurance on your phone; if you dont switch phones alot, and never feel the need for insurance, then Jump isnt for you. People forget that 7 dollars a month of the 10 dollar jump fee is for the phone insurance, so jump actually costs about 3 dollars a month, NOT 10...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] jayr04:
It often takes me 2-3 tries to sell an item sell on ebay. Last time I tried to sell a phone, the bidder said their child bid on the item and they never paid.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] wase4711:
The secret to fast sales on ebay is proper pricing, and using "best offer" to entice people to make an offer on your item..

You need to determine what the highest price that was paid for your exact item in the last 30 days or so, and make sure you dont price it higher than that; also, allow people to "make an offer", which will get you more action than just a standard auction..
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] EtherealRemnant:
Jump worked out great for me. I have the original Jump program (twice in a rolling 12 month period with only a 6 month wait after you add the feature) and I had dropped my M7 and given it a nice dent in two places which would have dropped resale value significantly but there was no screen damage so I brought in my M7 and walked out with an M8 for like 40 bucks in taxes or so.

I'll probably jump again when the new phones come out in 3rd/4th quarter.

Great program for people like me and since its the original jump, I don't have to pay off half the phone first. I'd have insurance anyway so two bucks a month is nothing.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] jayr04:
I'll try that
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] TriBeard:
I have JUMP on my phone. I viewed it as no more expensive than most other insurance options (and cheaper than sprint's insurance option), and in addition to insurance you get the ability to upgrade early. When you look at it that way, or if you plan on carrying insurance anyway, it really is a good deal.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] andrewnelson:
Under the new terms of Jump, if your iPhone isn't completely paid off you'll have to pay at least 50% of what you still owe when you Jump. It doesn't look like the M8 will have a down payment when it debuts April 11, but you'll probably have to pay the tax on the phone's full price.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jayception:
I am on the old JUMP program and just jumped from the iPhone 5S to the HTC One (M8). I only had to pay tax which rounded to about $38 and I was off with my new phone. Granted since I had $0 down my monthly payments on the phone will be about $26.50, which is slightly cheaper than the $27.00 a month I was paying for the iPhone 5S.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Chance Ill:
Same here. I'm subscribed to the first JUMP program. Came from the LG G2. $0 down. Although the taxes were surprisingly high, ($57.00) I walk out a satisfied customer.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jetbo4:
I just used my first jump so I am on the old program still (twice in one year) does anyone know when that year is actually classified as?

I have heard calender year, when you add jump, and your first upgrade.

I would love a correct answer.

Basically I have one more upgrade left between now and when do they reset is my question

(got service in November, just upgraded)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] wase4711:
You have until November to do your second jump.

its a 12 month year, starting from when you first sign up
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jetbo4:
Thanks!

I guess I will just upgrade a week before just in case :P.

That is assuming anything better comes out before then which is yet to be seen, I am really loving the M8 and its the first time I have been happy with a phone in awhile.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] wase4711:
yeah, I have to wait until August for me first jump, since I signed on in early February..

I want an M8, but who knows what will be out in August..Maybe the Sony Z2 will show up here by then!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jetbo4:
I would like a motox+1 with an sd card, or the rumored z2 compact. I love music so my sd cards are everything. SD card is the only reason I went back to HTC and if Motorola doesn't make the X+1 5.2 inches I would switch to that. I honestly just want a decent phone with an sd card in a 4.5-4.7 range. 5 inches is still too big but I deal with it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
Not quite. The year starts when you used your first jump not when you signed up. I have already used my two jumps on one line and that line can't jump again until January(I got it the first day they offered).
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jetbo4:
See this is the confusion I have been having. This is just like when I call customer support. I have heard it both ways haha. Anyone else have any experience or already did their second jump?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
I did it on purpose to find out how it worked. I wasted a jump just because I wanted to see if it once every 6 months or actually 2 times per year. If it was once every 6 months they should have said it that way, but it IS twice a year. Also the first 6 months does not count towards the year because you could never jump during the first 6 months.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jetbo4:
No I get that it is twice a year. But when is that year from. The time of your first jump or when you add jump?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
when you do your first jump. If it was from the point you first add jump the 6 month waiting period would be pointless to have. Just think about it. If it's twice a year why have the 6 month waiting period if it started when you first jump. You'd be forced to jump twice within 6 months or lose a jump.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jetbo4:
I mean that does make sense. It also makes sense for them to give you a reason to lose a jump.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] EtherealRemnant:
Its a 6 month waiting period before your jump eligibility starts. After that, you have two jump credits available. As soon as you use one, the clock starts. You can use both in a month if you wanted to but you wouldn't be able to jump again until your 2 credits reset 12 months after your first jump.

I don't get what is confusing about that or why anybody would think it worked any other way. They make you wait 6 months with the old program because of the fact that you don't have a minimum payment amount with it. The 50% pay off with the new jump is why they did away with the waiting period
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jetbo4:
Thanks! I mean literally the only confusion to me is every time I call them I get a different answer. I mean even in the forms people are giving different answers so thats why I was curious over how it works. I mean its one of those things that I'm shocked that T mobile doesn't have a straight answer before and in no publically available TOS does it state the specific terms since they have gone to the new jump program which obviously is not an upgrade to anyone with the old program.

Hello. I have the following problem. I friend of mine that I've sold him my old rooted Htc One tried to make 4.4. kitkat

He tried to install

Android_Revolution_HD-One-53.0zip

BUT I don't know how he managed to stuck his phone.The problem is when I am power on the phone it shows the white HTC screen with the red letters "this build is for development purpose only..." after a while reboots in TWRP v2.5.0.0

And that's it , I cannot do anything because my PC won't recognize it via USB cable.

Any suggestions?

SAME problem (or pretty similar) here

SAME problem (or pretty similar) here, trying to instal ARHD61.1... I don't know how did I screw up this so much...

My bootloader is TAMPERED, UNLOCKED, S-On. Recovery TRWP (2.7) launches but... many things don't work.

First thing I have to mention is that I didn't forget to enable debugging before all this started (and now I can't launch android to do it).

My HTC drivers should be up-to-date, as I installed yesterday HTC sync 3.00.52...

In bootloader, if I type "fastboot devices" I get "FA34HW903605 fastboot", and "fastboot reboot.bootloader" does what it is expected to do...

In recovery, "adb push" tells me "error: device not found".

Can someone help me? If you need more details, just ask. Thanks

Let me try and I'll tell you later. I also think it's a matter of drivers, so I was downloading and re-installing it... Thank you for your help ;)

-------------------------------------------------- UPDATE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I followed your steps (LET ME THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT GUIDE) and now the device is "My HTC" as you show.

Something has changed:

If I type "adb devices" (in PC) when phone is in fastboot, the listing is void (before I got "FA34HW903605 fastboot"), and if I do the same while phone is in recovery, I get the mentioned "FA34HW903605 recovery".

In Windows7 I don't see "My HTC" as a conventional USB storage or Memory of a Camera (should it be?)

I've managed to ADB PUSH a ROM (ARHD) in recovery, but now I get an error message: "Unable to mount '/data' " and "Unable to mount internal storage " then FAILED. Now I'll try flashing a new recovery...

1st) Solve comunnication issues as shown in FAQ #2 here

2nd) Solve TWRP recovery mount issues by:

2.a) Installing any other (clockwork) in fastboot using One All In One Kit (eaaaasy)

2.b) Formatting cache, system, data partitions

2.c) Installing TWRP again using One All In One Kit (Android Revolution REQUIRES this recovery)

2.d) Sending the ROM ('adb push your_rom.zip /sdcard/wherever_you_want_it')

2.e) Installing it from TWRP recovery.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
no problem, glad to be of help :)

remember for most 4.4 ROMs, (for m7_u/ul) TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or higher) is recommended at the moment.

though you should be good by downloading it, then checking MD5 to make sure the download isnt corrupt (that site doesnt work with download managers), then:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

-> enter recovery and push the rom

you're really not giving any details... so you hear a sound... what does Windows Device Manager show??
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duwie_80:
It wont be so easy, I'm afraid. Even if comunication issues are solved, you won't be able to copy your ROM using windows file manager, opening the phone like a conventional drive...

You have to install "ADB" in your PC (search in HTC ONE subforums, there's a lot of info about ADB pusing (=copying) ROMS) and use it to copy your ROM. One advice: while "pushing" the ROM, be patient: it takes a long time. When your ROM is "pushed", just install it in recovery and... that's it!!

[EVO 4G General] C1dth3Cy@nK1d95:
I am wondering, what the best AOSP rom for the EVO 4g is. Right now I am running CM7 (last build for the official Cyanogenmod site) and Amon Ra recovery 2.3 with S-on (I do not need S-off because I do not use my EVO 4g as my mobile, it is deactivated and I use it as a media player). I would personally like a version of PAC-Rom or Carbon, but I do not believe that there any versions of either of them right now (I may be wrong though). Since the device is deactivated and only used as a media player I guess no 4g is ok (so is no front facing camera, I would not need it). If possible, I would like the latest version of Android that the EVO can get (which is 4.2.2 and maybe 4.3 I think). I would also like a rom that will give me great battery life as well as make my device snappier.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DTHayakawa:
I bought a generic QI charger at DX and it worked well... once. The next day the phone was not recognizing the charger.

I really think that's a software issue because I tried a hard reset by flashing the original 4.4.2 stock rom image. it worked once and it stopped again. Then, I tried flashing stock again but it didn't work. Also, the charger seems to recognize that there is a device with wireless charging capacities but it turns off after 2 seconds.

Is there an activity or something that makes the system recognize the charger and start in fact charging? I searched a little bit but I can't find someone with the same issue :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigCrisco39:
Have you moved the phone around on the charger? I have found out that the phone qi receiver is low on the phone and the transmitter is usually in the middle of the charger. That will give you the on/off back and forth.

Yes. I also searched the exact spot where the coil is located, it can't be. also, the charger recognizes de device

is your charger a small disc or a flat rectangle larger than the phone?

yeah, could be. I don't know, it's just weird that it worked once. It's a flat rectangle.
