Anyone go through device protection crap? I got a xt1528 from a ebay store that has tons of phones and clean esn. I got it on friday last week and still cant get in. Isnt it just a 72 hr hold or what? Also on the verizon model the message app makes it harder for the workaround and network dialer it dont work esp when youre trying to use this phone as gsm. Not sure how long to wait for the hold though. Do i still need the previous password or email that was synced before i got this phone? I hope not or else this is a brick. Ive factory reset Friday and changed password hoping that would work. Nothing so far
