Okay so, If your phone has value, that value is bill credited by TMO. The lower the value of the device, the difference between the value and $200 is delivered to you via E-Check by LG.

You will receive $200 no matter what. In the form of Bill credit and or e-check.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
I was trying to wrap my head around that,your explanation makes it clear,THX!

Sooooooo,those of us who used el-cheapo phones or,those w/$0 trade-in value will be getting a decent amount of change from LG........

Gonna use mine on my T-Mobile bill regardless,but,it's nice to get it in the form of a ne-check,to have the flexibility to use as we wish,or,even as payment for T-Mobile,can use specifically to pay down EIP...................
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] suprap7:
Thanks for the advice and tips! I didn't even think about buying a pre paid phone until reading this..

Nust ordered the One Touch pick glitz on Amazon for $20. Hopefully it all works out.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Agent3:
I just got back from the T-Mobile store and the sales associate are just as confused about the promo as some of us. I went to Target next door and purchased the Alcatel Ideal for $29.99. At T-Mo, one of the sales looked up the phone but couldn't find it. He calls over a second guy and he enters the following phone on that list. They didn't even check to see if it was a 4G phone. He enters the IMEI/serial number. (He never told me but I later received a text of a quote of $0 from T-Mobile. I'm not surprised.) He tells me I should go to the website to redeem the $200 which LG will sent out.

Since it's been 2-3 years since I last step foot into a T-Mobile store, I didn't realize they now charge a "assistance fee" or a "Upgrade support charge" as they have it printed on the bill for $20. Order it online yourself and you will avoid this fee. They also charged a insurance fee of $12 which I called to have waived off and a down payment of $49.99, plus the taxes of the entire phone and shipping & handling.

The waiting games begin.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] daviddem:
It is worth to mention the trade in is valid only on EIP!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jinkerz9430:
Lol i fell on the same trap of the upgrade support charges (fee) . But i put up my pants and called the department of solution, they asked me for a reason and i told them straight up " because you guys charged me 20 dollars for the support" so, they tried to cancel the orer but they couldn't i tried myself and i couldnt either because i preordered via a retail store and not online. so, they told me, okay, we are going to give you the $20 dollars back, you have the option to added on the EIP balance, or bill balance, or return it to your debit card, then i said oh great! i dont have to cancel it them hahahah since the package is already on its way. (already delivered by the way) soooo i got my $20 dollars back.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
I found that right after posting,THX! :good:

Mine still says ineligible,as before when I 1st submitted & got approval over the phone.

My trade-in device has already been received by Ascurion (10/22/16),perhaps the status will change soon,maybe after the "official" release date of 10/28/16.

If not & I see reports of others getting the rebate in their e-mail,it'll be time to get on the phone w/T-Mobile yet again.

From best I could understand,when reading the info on LG's website,it's up to the carriers to determine eligibility,so,I'm not too concerned ATM.........

EDIT:
[MENTION=5749239]whoohaaah[/MENTION]

Now,I'm getting an error,stating the info I entered doesn't match their records,also stating to allow for up to 14 days for it to show up in the system. :rolleyes:

So I have my LG V20, been using it for a couple days...just got a phone from Amazon (arrived today).

So I went to tmobile.com/promotions and tried to enter my phone number, pin, and the promotion code LGV20.

It is telling me "This phone number is not eligible for the 2016 October LG v20 Trade-Up offer due to not meeting the device requirement. If you feel this is an error, please contact us at 1-800-937-8997"

Has anyone else had this issue or know of a solution? The only thing I can think of is because the "trade-in" phone I have I didnt bring up when I pre ordered the V20???
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Yeah, I had the same issue, called Customer Care & they said go ahead & proceed.

Follow the link on your Order Status page....

I highly recommend that you get Customer Care on the phone while you're doing this, to CYA, in the event you run into issues after sending the phone in.......
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] suprap7:
Ok, thank you. How did you even proceed then? It wont let me get past that error page...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Go here:

https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-trade-in.html

Scroll down until you see Trade-In Your Current Device.

Again,make sure Customer Care says it's OK & that it'll be approved before submitting anything & sending it out.

Also,not a knock on those who work the later shifts,I work odd hours myself,but,I'd wait until tomorrow,during what are typically business hrs,such places are thinly staffed after the "day shift" & may not have anyone who can green-light your submission.

I'm on T-Mobile & got the V20 on JOD.

I preordered on day one (or two) via telesales & as soon as I received the phone,applied for the $200 trade-in offer immediately.

Turns out,T-Mobile F'ed up by allowing JOD's to apply & re-wrote the qualifications a couple of days after the fact,this is probably what has led to a lot of WTF is going on with submission status/dead-ends.

I did my claim all by telesales & d/l the shipping label as y'all did,from the Order Status page & followed-up w/T-Mobile since my trade-in has been MIA since it was received by Assurant on 10/22/16.

Long story short,call T-Mobile @ this number: 1-844-275-9309

If you were one of the early birds who applied & are on JOD,you may get the entire $200 in the form of a bill credit from T-Mobile,as it is their FUBAR,YMMV.

Reason being it's a bill credit is T-Mobile messed up in allowing JOD's to apply,LG isn't on the hook for that.

In my instance here,T-Mobile stepped-up to the plate & knocked it out of the park,accepted responsibility for the entire situation & credited my T-Mobile account for $200 earlier this afternoon.

I was gonna use the $$$ from LG to pay down on my other devices that are on EIP,so,it worked out just fine for me.

I don't mind spending a bit of time in submitting claims for promos/etc......,but,this one wasn't implemented well.

Too many details/exclusions/etc...not explicitly stated from day one, it's asking for customers to get out the pitchforks en masse.

At least the headphone offer is fairly straightforward.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] suprap7:
I ended up running into this problem. After talking on the phone with them I am getting the money in the form of a bill credit....and I ended up returning the phone I bought on amazon...so I saved another $20 there.

It all worked out so I am good with it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bishmaster5000:
Finally got a credit from T-Mobile, turns out I was having problems doing the trade-in deal because the rep who sold me the V20 didn't mark me down as a trade-in. Why the other rep's never saw this I have no idea. Took a few trips to the store, but finally I got a rep who was willing to actually help. He called their support line until he got someone who actually knew what to do. They ended up posting a credit on my bill and I didn't even have to trade-in an old device. The first person the rep talked to actually said I had to give back my old V20 and wait for a new V20 in order to re-qualify for the $200 after I put down $100+ on the new phone lol. The moral is, keep trying and eventually you'll find someone who can fix it.

I ordered by phone and also did the Promo by phone. Printed return label for trade in. Got credit for the phone itself. Turns out I was never put in for the Promo. Talked to 7 different people finally got a supervisor and got the difference credited. What a headache. My fault for not doing it myself online .
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] crawler9:
I was told when I got my phone that I was eligible for the trade in offer but later found out I wasn't, since I'm on Jump On Demand. Since I was given bad information at my point of sale, and I was already set up to mail a phone in for $0 anyway, Twitter T-Force hooked me up with a $200 bill credit.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] planetbeen:
Will be the same for me. I'm still supposedly waiting for who knows what. (Something along the lines of "it will take up to 2 billing cycles. ") I suppose it will probably take another call to get my credit. Would have been nice if it could have been applied in such a way as to lower my monthly payments but since it's jod I don't think there's a way. I can supposedly apply it to the overall balance but monthly payments will stay the same.

We're processing your trade-in

Dear T‑Mobile Customer,

We received your device and are processing the trade-in or JUMP!® redemption. We'll keep you updated but if you have questions, please visit my.t-mobile.com or call 611.

Thank you,

And the 2nd one:

Dear T‑Mobile Customer,

We reviewed your device and have applied a device trade-in credit to your Equipment Installment Plan. If you have any questions, visit my.t-mobile.com for details or call 611.

Thank you,

So seeing as my trade-in was valued at $0 , I did NOT get any type of trade-in credit on my account, so I am hoping I get a check from LG as a result of the emails. Wish someone knew anything at T-Mobile!

One of the main reasons to have a nexus is to have all the latest versions and features earlier. That's wasted with pn. Maybe after 7.1 is on stable and Pn is on a stable version of 7.1 I'll switch.

Everything was ok.

Last week the screen's phone stay white. I have to off it, on it, off it, on it to have my screen ok. Sometimes, it refuse to switsch off.

So, I want to bring it on warranty.

I put an old VM5 ROM:

Version de ROM: 1.23.163.5

Date de ROM: 06/18/06

Version de radio 1.27.00.00

Version de protocole: 32.60.7020.06H

but I don't know if it is the good one, the one which was on it when i bought it?

The bootloader:

HERM200

IPL-1.01

HERM200

SPL-1.06

is it the good one?

is it ok to bring it on warranty?

Thanks for your help.

I've tried all the methods folks have offered, and, apparently Cricket is in collusion with Alcatel not to make it merely difficult to root and administer (worked entirely too many tech-support gigs... the uninformed tend to screw things up even with documentation), but to make it, seemingly at present, impossible. I'm stuck, and none of the previous methods have worked. (and, yes, I've read every applicable thread I see... at this point, nothing seems to work to root the beast. Since the ability's there by default to shove the apps that will allow themselves to be shoved to my 32GB SD.... that gets rid of my need for Link2SD, until the gentleman, Bulent Akpinar, gets around to recognizing that Marshmallow's been out a while.
