Database Users

I have a beta test version of the nexus one, given out to employees only.

So heres the story. i called google because my power button wouldnt work.. they checked my IMEI and said it wasnt on their database.. so they transfered me to HTC. The rep told me that I have what they call a holiday nexus. there were only a 1000 made and given to google employees for testing. he told me that it had a different bootloader and that it was a collectors item. He said its value is significantly more than a normal nexus. I dont see a difference between this phone and a normal nexus one. nothing seems different other than the bootloader being unlocked from the start. Anyone care to share their thoughts and tell me what makes this phone any different?

It has S=OFF, so you can re-lock the bootloader with 'fastboot oem lock'
Also you should have an Android waving a QR code flag on the battery cover.

hmm yeah S is OFF but i dont have the Android waving a QR code flag on the back.. very weird. i wonder if the guy who sold it to me worked at google..

OH..I have that cover!

Check if you have S=OFF in fastboot, you might be a lucky boy...

I have one of these phones too, QR back cover and all. I doubt I'd be able to get it fixed under warranty if I need to since it was a gift from Google, so I won't be needing to relock it anyway.

OMG!
I would kill for one of those! jajaja

I'm curious; did you purchase this on google.com/phone?
If not, where did you get it?

Maybe you can switch phones with cyanogen and he can play around with the bootloader to see if he can find out how the relocking of the bootloader goes. Maybe he might find something and can release something so people can relock their bootloaders. Just a thought.

If memory serves, it's not so simple & the holiday bootloader is 250kb too big for a retail phone.

agreed for the good of humanity you should trade/sell/give to someone smarter than me so we can all benift from it ;-)

Not to rain on the parade, but this has already been looked at length by the developers, and the phone is of no use.

So there absolutely has to be a place where we can buy this cover

It's just a normal one
I also have a holiday nexus one with the QR code cover (btw this links to android.com/holidays but only on a Nexus One), which I rooted a few months ago. It seems to be completely normal before unlocking, with no superuser access and apparently a locked bootloader as well. The fastboot mode shows this text (after using fastboot oem unlock and Amon Ra recovery):
*** UNLOCKED ***
NEXUSONE PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.33.2012 (PB9910000)
MICROP-0a15
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0102
RADIO-4.03.00.21_2
[date]
Is this the same as a normal Nexus?

No. You can relock your bootloader.

Since the only real purpose of relocking the bootloader would be to have the phone officially covered by warranty, why is this really even useful on the "holiday" nexus if that is not covered under warranty at all anyhow?
It seems the only advantage is the battery cover then, which doesn't seem like too big of a deal.

i got this phone off craigslist. traded my iphone 3g and 150 bucks for it. it was in perfect shape, didnt come with anything other than the phone. the guy i bought it off was very weird. he said like 5 words throughout the whole transaction. when i first got the phone, it did not have a rom installed on it. i could go into fastboot and a weird recovery. it had Hello World floating across the page when you rebooted into recovery. i just flashed the CM recovery put CM on it and its been working fine since.

how can i brick my phone?

my phone has been doing some strange **** lately.. It randomly reboots and or freezes. I've tried wiping and reflashing with a different ROM but to no avail. It's been getting stuck on the white evo screen lately. If i'm lucky enough it will boot to the OS but will freeze or reboot after a while..
..Is there something I can do that will brick the phone so I can return it to Sprint? I keep getting the Cyanogen Mod boot screen and obviously I can't take it back to Sprint with that on the display..
any help is appreciated, thanks

Trash... this needs to be locked and the op needs to be removed!
from the fade

So you flashed it and now you want to take it back because you messed it up?
(Just flash a custom rom, and pull the battery halfway..that should do it)

How about admitting that you broke it and just insurance claim it for 100 bucks instead of fraudulently exchanging it?

Epic title.
Sent from my SUPERSONIC

Put it in the microwave on defrost for a minute. Whatever you do, don't pull the plug or else your phone will be un-brickable.

BAN! Tired of people screwing up their phones and then committing fraud. Why don't you man up and admit you screw up instead of taking advantage of Sprint and the insurance? This is why we end up paying so much for stuff.

Agreed

I agree! If you are trying to root, you are taking a risk.
On another note, can't you just run RUU on it?

Not to mention there's nothing wrong with his phone.
Bricking his phone would be a waste of his time and a perfectly good phone.
Chalk it up to another case of someone not reading and understanding what they are about to do before they do it
Why are people so allergic to reading?
OP, run the pc36img.zip from toast's rooting guide part 2, then wait for your phone to prompt you to accept the 1.47 update and accept it. You'll be back to stock with no reason to damage a perfectly good phone.

I didnt break it? I flashed this thing 2 months ago.. it has worked flawlessly until I seen I had a voicemail update.. I went to do that, it failed.. things seemed to work fine so I charged it over night.. woke up and its been hell ever since.
Its not like I was modding the thing and it broke on me. The phone was working fine for 2 months. Don't come at me with some bull**** ass remark like that. I have no problem paying the insurance claim, but regardless -- its been rooted thus insurance isn't going to do **** for me.
EDIT: I stand corrected on the insurance claim -- was not aware of that

OP, lose the attitude before this turns into another "WTF WIFI" or "is CM6 overrated" thread.
If your problems started when you tried to update your voicemail then how about you try rolling your vvm app back or uninstall and reinstall it?
Also, rooting voids your warranty.. not your insurance. You have the option of paying $100 to swap it for a new one..

I'll have to try this out.. I've tried multiple ROM's and it still does it. I'm beginning to think its a possible hardware issue.
Why would 3 different rom's cause random reboots, freezes, and other quirkiness

Because you are experimenting with your phone. These roms are voluntary efforts by people who do this as a hobby. Expect things to go wrong and expect to have to do some troubleshooting, it's just part of the game.

was not aware of the warranty/insurance differences. thanks for the info
is the voicemail app apart of individual rom's or is it on the phone itself? (im sure that was worded terribly, but hopefully you'll understand) ... I've tried 3 different ROM's and they all reboot or freeze sporadically. (fresh 3.1.0.2, a nandroid of a previous 3.1.0.1, and CM6) The phone even froze twice in the middle of a ROM flash.

Accually Id like to know also my Evo's usb port is FUBARed, light bleed, hotspots on the LCD, and power button crack you name it I got it. I have Best Buy insurance so not sure how its gonna go. I thought about just running it over and taking it in in a ziplock but i really dont wanna wait up to a month for a replacement.

Unroot back to stock, dont add any apps for a day, if the problem still occurs its obviously a hardware issue. Take it in for a replacement.

[Q] how to brick?

Im convinced my epic is screwed. Phone has been freaking out and flat out locking up on me despite rom changes and reflashes. I never back anything up and start from scratch so the fc's are beyond me understanding. Also on a few of the occasions of lockups the screen went bonkers. Anywho...
Quickest way to brick? My service center already replaced it once no questions asked. Also this was a refurb so maybe it has something to do with its "past life". Any suggestions? Battery and usb cable pull during odin stock flash?

I find this thread offensive - the purpose of these and other threads is to be creative and help users.
Asking for help, such as "where do I find the thread on how to fix a bricked phone" which might fix your problem by following instructions is acceptable.
Go read it.
Asking for help to perpetuate fraud is NOT acceptable. I hope the mods read this, pull this, and warn this person.
Sprint can look, fix, and help you, that is why you buy insurance if you can't follow the above.
People like you who pull fraudulant tricks are what causes the rest of our rates to go up, make them look harder at people with real problems and real claims.
You knew flashing changes the rules, that is why you read, learn, and ask real questions.

GTFO. Just GTFO. Don't brick your **** because it's unstable - if you have a legitimate cause for warranty repair, find it and do it. Otherwise, fix the problem yourself. Intentional bricks are offensively stupid.

All of these users asking how to purposely brick their phone should have their account banned and all account affiliated ip addresses blacklisted.

You are probably not going to receive much help on this one. The last thing 99.99% of users want to do it brick their devices. It's actually a major fear for many users. I can see how people would be offended by your question. While I'm not offened, I don't understand why you would ever, ever, ever want to intentionally brick your device. There is no guarantee that you will get a replacement or that you will get one free of charge. I agree that you are far better trying to fix your phone. If you brick it in the process, then you will have your desired result either way (i.e. your phone will be fixed or it will be bricked).

This is outrageous how can u expect us to help u **** ur fone up. It is against the law to do fraudulent claims. I suggest you stop what u r doing or I will have ur IP checked and have you arrested by my colleagues.

There are valid reasons to brick a phone. for instance if you have a messed up usb port and can't odin your phone back to stock, then your only optiion is to brick if you want to get a replacement as they aren't going to do anything if the phone is on a custom rom.
I tried at one point to brick my phone so i could exchange it, after exhausting other methods of getting it back to stock. no way no how would it actually brick.
But I know one way that would probably do it, just install vision kernal 1.2 and wait about 3 days, unless you have one of the magical phones, that should do the job. But the link was taken down for this very reason so unless you already have it, thats not going to help much.

False. Even if you don't have your SD adapter, you can just download the ReRFS ROM and stock recovery (can't use *upload? Download on your PC and upload to Dropbox) and flash in that order.
Source: I did it. I had a busted USB port. My device was fully stock when I sent it to Samsung.

The modem can't be helped much, but that's not a big deal - and, false, it was. The ReRFS ROM was released by DRockstar starting with DK28.

Just Got a Phone Call From Sprint

The rep on the other end told me that they know that I was the guy who stapled Amy Rabbinowitz's maxi pad to the blackboard in 9th grade. They say they can tell that and a whole bunch more from pinging my phone because it's rooted. The say that if I don't publicly apologize on her Facebook page with 72 hours they'll cancel my contract. I told them no way they can't do that but they told me to read the fine print of my service contract, they can. No courtesy call or anything. Worst part is, Amy Rabbinowitz won't approve my friend request, so there's nothing I can do. I'm just sitting here waiting for the 72 hours to pass and my Evo becomes a paperweight. HELP, WHAT CAN I DO?!?!?!?!?!

Remember: it's not enough to unroot and go "s-on." You've also got to check the "ROOT OFF" checkbox under Menu-->Settings-->About Phone--->Superuser Settings. In fact, you must do this BEFORE you unroot or Sprint will cancel your service and charge you a double ETF.

Sprint Brother is always watching!!

LOL! That's really funny...

There has to be more to the story. I think Sprint is tracking the rooted users that use the wireless tether and have large amounts of data downloaded. Not just the mere fact that your rooted. Just my .02 cents.
Its like modifying a car. You get a programmer to reprogram the car to perform better the manufacture i.e. Chyrsler, Ford etc cant call you up and say you cant drive our cars anymore. But if you have a warranty yes they can decline your warranty because of it. Same goes for the phone you root it and have a hardware issue that is when Sprint can decline against repairs etc.

I have found that a small aluminum foil tent placed over your EVO will prevent anyone from gathering information from it, this is especially important to do at night when it is charging or whenever you are tethering.

I have heard people on this and other forums claiming you can complain to Sprint (about GB specfic issues like no wireless n etc.) and they will authorize you to take it to a corporate store and flash it back to 2.2 RUU which is unlocked.
I have no idea if that actually works, but there are people to have claimed to done that.

1. I did do that and found something that wasn't sufficient! 2. Go in your kitchen and put a knife on the counter, and run into it! 3. Kill yourself!

1, wireless n issue was fixed in an gb update. 4.24 I think
2, I heard not even sprint can flash it back to froyo. The best that can happen is they switch you out for a 2.2 refurb. My wife just had to get another replacement evo and everywhere here in philly has evos on backorder so no luck even getting an older one in 2.2 refurb.

After being fed up with a few problems associated with the update i finally called sprint today to complain. They said that they have some kind of software "fix" but i would have to go to a repair facility to do it.
I'm going to head there after work and see what they come up with.

I'm on-hold with my local Sprint repair center. I'll ask them about flashing down, but I doubt they are able to do it. I will also ask them if they have any refurbs with the old image they could replace it with.
Will let you guys know what they say.
EDIT: They assured me that there is no way to downgrade it once it's updated. They also said that they probably would replace it with a refurb, but that most of their refurbs end up with the latest OTA anyway. They are also extremely backordered because the EVO is end of life so they have to request them and that usually takes 7-to-10 business days.
