I bought it through HTC so they also can't do anything.
I'm not sure about blacklist on carrier side. Last I spoke to them. They can't black list. Maybe it's different now.Did you have "Find my Android" installed?
Contact your carrier to have it blacklisted (and maybe replaced if you have a warranty that covers stealing, like an insurance claim) and file a police report.

Carriers can blacklist if it is a carrier variant, regardless of where it was purchased.I'm not sure about blacklist on carrier side. Last I spoke to them. They can't black list. Maybe it's different now.
It's was five years ago. I got scammed Nokia 710 on eBay. Called CS and she said we can't blacklist the phone. I guess she need to do better at her job lol.Carriers can blacklist if it is a carrier variant, regardless of where it was purchased.
Now if you bought a Carrier free phone then, I don't think that a carrier can block the phone for you.
Carriers blacklist phones when it suits there purpose: primarily if someone walks away from a contract and doesn't pay the early termination fee.
Other than that, why should/would they get involved? Take *your* word that *your* phone has been stolen? For all they know, you may be trying to prank somebody.
Actually stolen phones get blacklisted as well.
Correct, carrier phones get blacklisted if you report them stolen to the carrier.
Now the question I have is on non carrier phones... Not sure what happens but I doubt that a carrier would blacklist something not under their control
Yes, I should have added that. But again, the carrier has no interest in *your* problems, only their own interests.
And that is why there are laws about blacklists, sharing them, etc. etc. They're forced to care .
Well they have a financial gain too... Because you can't use that stolen phone on any USA Network. So you would have to buy another phone if you wanted to use it in the USA.Yes, I should have added that. But again, the carrier has no interest in *your* problems, only their own interests.
