[HTC Rezound] ǀcey:
I didn't notice initially how old this thread was till after I posted the above...ooops :rolleyes:

Anyways to follow up on my post above...

I received that "dead Rezzie" that I had ordered off of eBay.

Within 5minutes of opening it, I not only had it booting up just fine as can be.

It's almost foreign to me Sense interface was eagerly asking me to draw a pattern.

With in my 3rd to fourth try....the phone unlocked! Rofl

Seriously it just flew open and it was the same as it was on the very last day it's owner had last used it.

ummmm....it was still checking all her email accts and fb acct, play for updates, etc u get the picture. It's previous owner is a professional dog trainer who I believe has recently moved out of the country. I understand from reading a few of the texts on it, etc. Anyways she has tons of stuff on it, pictures, texts + accounts which the phone can still access.

I ran it's MEID and it comes up clean as a bell.

I thanked the seller via eBay's feedback A+++'ed him and said it worxs great tyvm! loool ;)

I also sent an eMail to it's previous owner, telling her this very story on how I ended up with it.

I asked her if she would like any of the stuff thats on it before I reset it.

I literally have the last 3yrs of this unknown girl's life in the palm of my hand.

Now re-read that last sentence 5 more times.

Her emails, her text and she texted very often...must be thousands of them sheeze. I know she has 2 dogs and even that they have their own bedroom upstairs somewhere and each their own bed, which they are "tucked" nightly into with their daily laundered fleece blankets. (gawd i envy them) :rolleyes: I know that she likes to drink "bubblely" after work on most days + when she is working out.....

Oh yea I can probably even go on a eBay shopping spree on her dime now + on other major online sites too. :cool: :tempting:

:angel: nah , I'm not like that though :angel:

She still hasn't replied to my email and it's been about a week.

I think maybe what had happened was she had taken her rezzie in for a trade-in on a new phone. Either she couldn't get it to boot either or just wanted a new one.

Then the place she traded it in at inspected it and couldn't get it going, then tried selling it on eBay to part buyers. Then I came along via eBay looking for a new battery for my Rezzie and Bam it came up along with the batteries in my search.

I spotted it and remember thinking well it's not much more $$'s then a battery and it comes with one....

If I can get it going I'll have an extra Rezzie to play around with or to keep has an extra or to re-sell right back on eBay for 4-5x's more then what I paid for it easily. In the least I would have another battery and an extra phone for parts if I couldn't get it working. Sooo lol I bought that instead of a battery. Hoping it wouldn't be as tedious as fixing a broken screen is to fix.

You see, I began to notice in my own Rezzie sometimes after a bad crash, usually a real niice bad one, like a niice bad one from my must-have + fav, chrome browser, it boots differently. ;)

Lol that eBay Rezzie just needed someone who understood how to boot it is all.

:laugh: and that was what I was hoping for to begin with on it :laugh: There was nothing ever wrong with it actually :cool:

Yep, i love these things :cool:

Moral of my story: BE extremely CareFul of what you do with your old "dead" phones...it may just end up on eBay and get a buyer that is not as honest as I am.

I'm sure there are those out there, that earn a living off of the info they get from such phones.
