hmm..

<sarcasm>I would have done the following (knowing it was a scam...)

I think it may be legal to send bodily fluids and feaces as long as it is packaged in such a way that odours are not emmited, and it doesn't leak.

Get a macbook box, just for fun, use it as my toilet for a day, package it all up properly of course. And send it to that address. Be interesting to see what happens when they did get the USPS tracking number :P</sarcasm>

I don't like scammers....
[Off-topic] wdfowty:
I'm fairly certain that isn't legal. I was planning on sending an empty box with too little postage and no return address, forcing "Richie" to foot the bill.

(I know it isn't but I guess sarcasm does not carry over the internet to well!)

I don't think best buy would even noticed if I return a rooted phone as long as the rom is as close stock as I can get. Any opinions?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talltexan:
theres no guarantees but you are correct they probably wont notice that it doesn't work. What they will be looking for is if the phone works, water damage indicator and physical damage. They will probably once over the phone then return it as long as you are within your proper return period.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
That's what I'm thinking. It works it just won't have as much bloatware on it. There just gonna resell it anyway. I tried to restore the nandroid of the original rom but once restored it gets stuck at the first samasung splash screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talltexan:
Well with all returns what they do is send it back to Tmobile they will send it to Samsung and get turn into a refurbish unit (for exchanges and such) They will flash the OEM Rom back on it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Flash stock using Odin? It brings the phone unrooted and all the bloatware back
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
No I haven't yet. Seems like a lot of work if they are gonna do it anyway. And some people have had some issues.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If you flash back via ODIN make sure the three button recovery works because if ODIN crashes mid-way (I've had this happen twice on my previous Vibrant) you've got a brick if you can't get it back into download mode via the buttons. Do a forum search. Or maybe if you wound up with the dreaded black screen of death that wouldn't be such a bad thing. They'd almost have to take it back then. :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondaguy:
i just returned one the other day to best buy and the chick went through the phone for a couple of minutes, checked settings and menus and then also checked for physical damage. i had reflashed it back to stock anyways as bell's version comes with a bunch of specific apps. i was glad i did flash it back and i also relocked it to bell's network as i had unlocked it for use on rogers
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talltexan:
It is true every once in a while you will get a rep who knows their stuff (when i worked at t-mobile i would play with customers who had flashed new ROMs on their G1 ) However most of the time you will get minim wage joe blow and he could give a rats ass.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondaguy:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
It really isn't.. its better to be safe than sorry. At least thats how I feel.

And as far as that phone -- pc logo, I guess they would take it back but if they ask you how did it get that way? you're going to have to lie about it and its just going to feel really awkward.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjhart85:
Truthfully though, all they'd have to be trained to do is not accept returns if you see the superuser app. That'd be the easiest way to see if someone has rooted their phone & If you're not even going to take the effort to flash it back to stock, you're probably not going to delete that app either.

Just re-Odin it & call it a day. It took me less than 5 minutes to get back to stock & maybe another 5 to download the necessary files.

This will also ensure that you don't have any leftover contacts or log ins to facebook or anything like that on there (better safe than sorry).

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damelanalga:
They won't care trust me i worked for tmo. These people don't even know what root is they might think its a plant. They just scan it out of their inventory and send it to samsung. If it has root on it they are not going to send it back to tmo just to find u or look to charge your account. That is soooooo tedious cuz u have to do an IMEI search which hardly works on TMOs internal network (i tried when i worked with them never really worked) so yea all they look for is hardware damage and the liquid damage indicator other then that ur golden.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
I tried that. Once I rooted I made a nandroid of the stock rom. When I try to restore it, it just freezes at the Vibrant splash screen. Which I think is strange.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
That makes sense. Cause if a everyday joe blow user returns the phone, it will more than likely have their login info still on it so they would factory reset and flash a rom too probably to get it back to stock. Ill try to flash it to stock and see what happens. Thanks for all the info guys.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
Alright guys I used the stock nandroid I found on here. Worked like a charm. Thanks again guys. I might remove the SuperUser app too. Why not ill remove it.

I had a funny experience that this reminded me of. I had a rooted G1 running Super D that crapped out on me and I could not get past the boot screen so I took it in. Being concerned about the phone being hacked/rooted I obviously played dumb. When the in-store rep took me to a monitor with a webcam to speak to a T-Mobile service rep, we were informed my phone would get replaced unless I had rooted it or modded it. I of course played dumb and my phone was replaced right there :)

Hi all mates!

I have a problem with my i9000... I explain my problem fast:

I have extracted the BML3 and STL3 of my phone to 2 files .img... I have duplicated this files to a backup and I modified it. Now, I can´t load the original bml3.img and stl3.img because the /dev/block/stl3 doesn´t exists... not are mounted... also when I restart my phone, the /efs/ directory is empty, and the phone dont ask me for the pin... (obviously, I don´t have call service) but, If I copy the nv_data.bin to /EFS directory, the phone ask me for the pin and I can make and receive calls...

Do you have some idea to load the original stl3 & bml3 files in the phone????

-------------------

well, now I have put the bml3 and I reboot, all is ok, but when I try to put the stl3 and I obtain this message:

dd if=/sdcard/stl3.img of=/dev/block/stl3

/dev/block/stl3: cannot open for write: Invalid argument

but the stl3 partition exist! and I rooted the phone

ls /dev/block/stl*

i had a similar issue with my nv_data files. i backed them up to my computer, then copied a set of nv_data files over from my gf's phone, and it gave the same issue. when i copied my original ones back, it still wouldn't work. seems the signature of the file is changed, and the phone doesn't accept it. your phone has a set of backup nv_data files on the phone in the efs partition. delete your bad nv_data files, shut off your phone, and turn it back on. the phone should recognize the files are gone, and use the backup files......worked for me

edit: just to clarify, only delete the .bin and .md5 files, not the .bak files.

leave: nv_data.bak & nv_data.bak.md5
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froilson:
Hello,

I'm having the same problem but only have the bml3.bak and the nv_data.bak and nv_data.bak.md5.

I updated the firmware to JPH and make the changes to restore the product code to KOR from XEC the original for my country and operator.

The bml3 was corrupted and in the next reboot the phone didn't ask for the pin code of my SIM card.

I try to restore the original files, but the efs is empty or write protected, with root explorer a mount to r/w and only if I connected by usb the phone ask for the pin, and I can access to phone network and can make calls a recive it but the IMEI is the tipical 004999010640000.

The stl3 is imposible to read or write from it. The nv_data.bin can not be reinstalled because pin is not recognise and in a reboot the files are restore to previous state.

I think the nv_data are store somewhere and when the file system is mounted as r/w the efs directory is recovery from there.

Efs directory only has and .android directory, and nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5, .nv_state. No imei directory, etc

awia you has some good news, i'm from spain to, it's possible to speak somewhere in spanish.

Do you recomend to take the phone to SAT?

I bought it in the Telefonica FlagShip Shop in Madrid.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froilson:
Hello,

An update over my previous comments.

If I used rootexplorer to paste .nv_data.bak and .nv_data.bak.md5 that I backup before and then go to efs directory and mount r/w and immediately copy the previous pasted files, then the process start and ask for my pin, and then the imei is restored. The problem is that this is temporal and only works in the current session, if you reboot the phone then you must to make the same steps. I don't know if I can make a sh to do this step more automatically, because I don't know how and what rootexplorer remount in r/w permissions, may be someone can help me in this tasks.

In my previous comment I said that the pin prompt only has shown if the phone is usb plug in but this is not true, works in all conditions.

About the process, I suppose the bml3 contains all the information and in the bootload process this bml3 set the stl3 and mount over efs directory but for some reason this is not working with my phone because the changes over the bml3, I don't know how can I reestablished it. I use the redbend_ua for that and the bml3 are now like my backed-up one, but still doesn't work.

Hi my english is poor, but i hope that you will understand me :)

The problem is: When you try login in skype you have a message: "Unable connect to skype server. Check your internet connection".

Solution: The first time login to skype with GPRS/3G connection wait until you see all your contacts....

And after that exit with "Quit" not with "Log Out"...

the next times you will can login to skype with WIFI or Active Sync..

I think, that problem is, because Skype use same connection protokols with 802.1 Active Sync, wifi and when you try to connect with 3g/gprs he don`t use these protokols and no problem with login. Skype servers structure is like this...

:) this is a simple explanation....

I notice that the stock card was only showing half the capacity as well, without any actual files being on it. I would suggest just reformatting the card.

[Epic 4G General] Fixter:
14.7. And it had around 7.10 used.
[Epic 4G General] OniKyanAE86:
The 16GB card shows only 14.7GB because the other 1.3GB is used by the file system/structure when the card is formated. Without the file sytem created on the card, it would be useless as the device would not know where to look for the files you store on the memory card. On a 32GB card the file system created should technicaly be double of the 16GB. My 8GB memory card only shows like 7.4GB after a format if I remember correctly. Hope I answered some questions.

Not really, I think we all know this. I said the memory stick came preloaded with 7Gb of extra stuff.

Mine didn't come with anything preloaded. 14.7GB free from the getgo. Have you tried just formatting it completely?
[Epic 4G General] B3NJ4M1N:
um... no...

this is caused by manufacturers marketing vs how computers count bytes.

1 kb = 1024 bytes

1 mb = 1024 x 1024 = 1,048,579 bytes

1 gb = 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes

manufactures market 1 gb = 1,000,000,000 bytes

it would take 17,179,869,184 bytes to be a full 16gb

manufactures only put 16,000,000,000 bytes on a card

((16,000,000,000 / 1024) / 1024) / 1024 = 14.9011612 gb
