How to sell my Droid X on ebay

[terfdaq]

I have a rooted Droid X running Apex 1.3.1. I am thinking of selling it and jumping ship to AT&T to get the Atrix, cause that phone just seems awesome. After looking at some completed listings it appears that rooted phones with clean ESNs and a warrenty go for a premium on ebay.

My question is, what is the best way to set the phone up so it is rooted, has a clean ESN and a valid warrenty without having my data on it? How can I sell a clean phone which is rooted?

Thanks
Daniel

SBF - ROOT
don't sell it with any custom roms on it, just clean and rooted
the reason I saw no roms is cause it'll let the new user decide what rom he/she wants

a good idea would send a little note with it directing towards here or XDA

How would I get the phone "just clean and rooted" and allow the new owner to turn the phone on and register it with Verizon?

You would SBF back to stock, boot up the phone, skip setup and install z4root from your sdcard and root it. Then after the root is done you would perform a factory reset in the privacy menu. Then turn it off rather than touching the Android to begin after it reboots from the factory reset. It will then be ready for the new owner. Don't forget to remove or format the sdcard too!

Factory data reset does not remove root.

Rooting voids the warranty.

Rooting voids the warranty.

As stated by the OP, rooted droid x's go for a premium on ebay. This has nothing
To do with Verizon warranties or the such. Everyone who roots knows of the root/warranty deal.

I don't understand why you would jump ship to AT&T just for the APEX when you could wait for it's twin, the Droid Bionic, which is slated for Verizon. I could understand I guess if you did not have an upgrade for Verizon, but the phones are basically identical.

They are not identical, the Bionic has 512mb Ram vs. the Atrix's 1gb, the Atrix also has Webtop and the Bionic doesn't.

He said AND the warranty in the OP.
