Well its happened i thought it was only a matter of time. Was using my sdcard to try and fix my friends G1, One of the files i was using was the HSPL for Dream.After a few days i thought "ill see if theres any cyanogenMOD uodates for my phone using the updater. It downloaded (sweet) thought cool ill apply update.zip......Only to find the updater DIDNT overwrite the update.zip currently on my SD now i have flashed my phone with the Dream HSPL.Bollocks 2 phones in les sthan 6 months, early 1000 GBP down the drain in total.
Has anyone found a fix for this bricking technique yet? I have noticed that my bricked Blackstone wont even charge but the magic will?
Hahahah fail! You have been so unlucky dude. Afaik, no method to unbrick from bad SPL yet. Just tell the store it died all of the sudden
tried ti call HTC Warranty hotline, no1 will answer! On the plus side spoken to orange and they offer emergency insurance! Means i can get my original (Blackstone) replaced. Gonna sell that bad boy and get a Hero i think lol that way i can leave it how god intended and still have a hero rom thanks for the reply though its always worth asking before you give up!
Just an update........
HTC Are aware i flashed an update from another site other than vodafone or HTC. Its costing me 11GBP to send it to them for repairs, I was curious if anyone had paid for the repair before? The lovely russian sounding lady on the phone said the motherboard will have turned off as a fail safe for "illegal" Software so will need replacing. I'm willing to pay up to 100GBP for a repair as the phone cost me triple that!
Oh and they did keep on asking where i downloaded the software asking "Was it from a forum for HTC Phones? Or a file hosting site?"
As i say has anyone had theyre broken one repaired?
HTC Called me today...........
Even though i had flashed the "Dream HSPL"AND had cyanogenmod rom on the phone my magic has been fixed! FREE OF CHARGE! delivery = free, repair = free oh how happy this makes me! On the ticket i said that "my automatic updates wouldnt work so i downloaded an update from a website" im sure i also said that i know i've voided my warranty rofl
Score! So no need for stock ROM anymore? (i saw you mention it in another thread), I should have one to post up soon.
Might I recommend this as your next phone?

Hello to all the great ppl on xda-developers.com first let me say thank u all for all the info and how to;s with my wing. now my problem. when i first signed up with tmobile i got a motorola razor and i got the equiptment plan for the phone.But i recently boutgh the best phone i ever had (wing) a few days ago.i didnt do no modding to it just put ringtones and one game i found.I called tmobile to see if the phone will be on the equipment plan and they indian lady told me no there isnt no plan. then while talking more to her she said ok u want me to put the wing on the equiptment plan i said yes so she put me threw to another line but no one was there today being sunday.and after i called my speaker went out for no reason idk why. i tryed hard and soft resets.and oh when i log into my-tmobile it showed my phone as the razor but now it shows my wing and says i still have the equiptment plan. but im wondering should i go to a tmobile store monday and tell them its broke and see what they say.or should i wait and make sure the insurance is active on my wing. Please guys and gals any advice or ideas will help alot.
THANKS ADAM
your wing has a 1 year warranty, so just go to the store. They're not gonna be able to do much, though.
if you really want to get it solved, i'd just call tmo directly.

Hello
I was wanting to root my HTC Wildfire running Android 2.2 but i dont know how to do it? Can somebody Please help me!
Thanks,
Alistair
Wrong topic under wrong podforum. Try browsing Wildfire development, you'll find your answer there.
P.s.
The answer is, you can't. Get in line and wait unrevoked.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
WAIT for the USELESS Unrevoked?????
IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! .v.
I have been waiting for it for more than 3 months!!!!!
FXXX IT!
well... Truth be told it's getting really ridiculous.
Three months later and after some recorder succesfull cases of S-Off they didnt even so much as bother releasing any news on the progress.
I'm with everyone stating we shouldn't be demanding anything since its not a right its just something they do on their spare time but if they cant make it work at least give it out to the community to try.
After all, nobody started out knowing everything they had help from the rest of the android world like anybody would. Isn't it time to give something back? Even if its just an update on their progress.

Oh come on seriously?
Referencing the 90/90 rule is an update for 90% of the earths population and anything they might be working on.
90/90 rule is also ridiculous

It's true though, and the thing is no matter what device I buy, it always in the corner of the room not being able to enjoy the party.
Happened with iPod Touch 2G MC, had to wait for months to get jailbreak just because our devices were unique and we have different bootroms.
And now HTC Wildfire, I bought the phone after getting the news that HTC Wildfire will be getting Froyo update, but now stuck with it with no root. I should've asked them if there were any handsets left with 2.1 Stock in it. :\

Haha, I was in the same boat with my iPod Touch 3G 32GB bought last October. I clearly remember going to Chronic Dev's website every few hours just to check up on the progress of Greenpoison, and the anticlimax that was when limera1n was released.
Thankfully, had better luck with my Wildfire, although I had previously decided to get the 2.2 OTA just to check it out (Because, at the very beginning, I was afraid to root and all, since the guides seemed complex), I am glad I didn't.

This is officially the 2000th topic asking the same damn question. Congrats.
No need to be so rude, everyone want's to know how the dev team is doing, and we all wait for the same answer. So we'll just have to wait and see.
I dont know if its just the store I go to (Kaahumanu Maui, if youre lucky enough to be here) or if its sprint policy to help the customer out. When i first got my phone in June I jacked it up starting with getting water under the screen from the retarded protector kit, and secondly messing up the root process and bricking it. I took it back and told them Norton antivirus kept asking for a password which i never did put in (really did happen) but I didnt mention it happened during the root process which screwed the whole thing up... They tested it it wouldnt get past fastboot so they Just handed me a new phone no questions asked and for $0.
Screw up two on my part. I have been trying to get hdmi working with no luck. So the genius I am decided to clean the port with a qtip soaked in alcohol. It didnt work. So I unrooted and took it back to the store. Told them the Hdmi isnt working and I dont have insurance. They check it out and see the water indicator inside the phone (right next to the hdmi port! so dont clean it with anything wet) was red, also the hdmi connections were corroded. But the tech tells me dont worry usually you would have to just buy a new phone but this is what we will do. Pay $35 now and we will say we fixed your phone, then you can add insurance as its allowed after a repair. After that they just reported that I needed a new phone haha so i got a new phone for about $50. Im cancelling the insurance after a couple months and I get the new one all rooted and set up . Hope your experience is as good as mine.

Or...just call, complain about the slow data speeds and they'll just offer to swap out your phone, since that's obviously cheaper than actually fixing their network.
I believe I have a logical explanation. I about 2 months ago, found a sprint store that would do service on my phone. While there they informed me that sprint had up until that time, (about 2 months ago) had a very loose warrenty exchange policy. The phone could have physical damage, and as long as you reported a "Warrenty Issue" they would exchange it. They tightened it up, any signs of physical damage they won't service it. If the power button area gets 2 cracks, they won't service it. It was nice of them to do that little paperwork shuffle to get you insurance. good luck!
Can you help me please, as I don't really know about these things.
I found a HD2 on eBay UK, number: 160877136223 - I can't add a link as xda doesn't allow it.
My partners HD2 started failing about a month ago and thought I'd buy her a new one.
What do you think? Bargain? x

Looks good & clean, how much is it if it's this one http://tinyurl.com/96j2tuq
have you considered other models? why the HD2 again?
Its a great phone and it looks good grats!
http://tinyurl.com/96j2tuq
Thanks mengfei that's the one (as your link shows) and currently only for eBay bidding/auction style only, so only time will tell how much I get it for, as most of the others are either heavily used or terrible sales lots. I've contacted the seller, who has been very friendly and and will happily allow me to collect it from him, as I'm local to his location in East London.
My partner always goes on about how good her HD2 is and (from what I remember) switches between Windows and Android often. I've been using a Huawei Ascend G300 for about a month now and though it's brilliant, her HD2 (when it worked) still would do better, so a new one would be best I feel.
The bids are still very low for it and the additional accessories will go down a treat for me, lol!
Does xda have a G300 forum, as I have some questions about it?
Actually it really a good phone no wait it's a Legendary phone the HD2!
with so may custom ROMs out there & yes you can even dual boot from it.
IF you can get it brand new at around $230 then it's a good buy since used ones go for around $150
http://tinyurl.com/96j2tuq
Thanks mengfei, the phone is new, has all basic accessories, some warranty even and more bits. It's currently still at a very low price, includes free recorded delivery and only a few hours left!! So I'm very hopeful to get at a bargain!!
Wish me luck everyone

Unfortunately, that's the problem with these odd ball units, there is alot of promises with little delivery and after sales support.

So you bricked it installing the Firmware sent by the seller? and they won't take it back?
Well the story is I bought it off eBay from UK as new. I paid £45 plus postage, when I saw it didn't work I said to seller give me a 50% refund if agreeable and I'll have a play, so all in all only £22.50 lost and a bit of postage so I'm not loosing any sleep lol. I'm quite tech savvy but just not quite enough. So rather than waste more time and energy I binned it lol.

Ahh yeah not worth sending back at that point. Probably was a brick from the seller then tho.
