So today I realized I needed the dust under my screen cleaned and the speaker fixed and and the worn buttons replaced. When I went in my phone was running fresh 2.0d with rosie, and some of my own tweaks (theme). Even though it voided my warranty they still replaced the screen and buttons. I am still trying to see if they fixed the speaker too (earpiece) but I wasn't able to boot because they busted my 8gb sd card... I was pissed so I took it back but the rep there said they couldn't replace it because I bought it as BestBuy. But I then talked to the repair guy and he said he would replace it, which he did.
Anyways, I guess the point here is that sprint doesn't care if you are rooted, hacked, tweaked or retarted. They still will repair your phone! This was at sprint in Emeryville (CA) btw.
Also, I have one question; I was a new Sprint customer when I bought my hero, and online, it says I am eligible for an upgrade. It has said this since the day I got my phone... Is this normal?
... and they cleaned the dust/ replaced your broken stuff for free, right? ive been trying to get my phone's dust removed, but it seems like all these stores say that they've never heard of it, or it counts as cosmetic.

It depends on the store. If they actually take a look at your phone and the tech's feeling grumpy, he'll tell you you're screwed. It's usually safer to just take it back to stock before turning it in for repair work.
Also, if you had an 8gb SD card make sure the one they replaced it with is the same class. If you had a class 6 card, you might be using a class 4 now.
Technically I don't think you're supposed to be eligible for an upgrade as soon as you start your account, but who knows? It might be some new marketing thing Sprint has come up with. I've been with Sprint for 12 years now, so I miss out on the new stuff.

yeah I had a class 2 and got a class 2 lol I was hoping they might give me a class 4 or 6.. haha
I bought a class 10 16gb a few months ago, but even though it was "SDHC" not "SDXS" or whatever it's called, it was still classified as "SD 3.0". the hero only has support for 2.0... I am hoping that the EVO supprts 3.0 because that card cost me $100. stupid I know.

Ahhh corp account explains it, my old account was like that, didnt have to wait for the credit but they were all phones for workers so their phones were worth like 49.99 lol
yeah dust is a known issue we will clean it out for free unless you are annoying about it...there are some people that are like SUCH A DUMB PHONE LETS DUST GET UNDER THE SCREEN...and they are really picky about like 3 specs of dust at the bottom of the screen...its not something we have to do, its cosmetic so just be nice to the repair guys.

Go and upgrade the phone. I've done this a few times. Then send me your old hero
So they can replace the silver section with the home/arrow/menu buttons on it? Mine is starting to chip but thought I might have to just deal.

Did you buy your Hero at Best Buy? I got mine at Best Buy and have always had the $150 discount available on the Sprint website. My wife got hers at a Sprint store and doesn't have the discounted upgrade option.

wish i had your tech, my mini usb port charges sometimes and ive totally lost audio through it. ive gone 3 different times hoping to get a different tech or person helping me and everytime i have gone they tell me A. it has a headphone jack, you dont need audio from your ExtUSB and B. it shows it charges now, so it works. They recommended I borrow a phone from a friend until i can afford to buy a new one...
Im cancelling my contract and going back to ATT, its not worth it to save money on my bill if I have to constantly dish out money for new phones.
i wouldnt do that.. come on. you ave the evo coming out in a couple months.

Please confirm this :
when the little orange light on the upper right side of the screen doesn't light up anymore when the phone is plugged into the outlet, and the power button doesn't do anything including pushing vol down+ power and or pwr+trackball this means my phone is BRICKED i assume ?
I did a nandrroid backup, full wipe , flash from zip, restart , got a android out of the box , tried to flash again without wipe.. and thats it . i knew it right away when the phone wouldn't boot to recovery this is the end of my nexus one ????
i was trying to flash to the FRF50 going from cm5 i had an older recover RA 1.6.0
I have come to accept that i bricked my phone and now have to pay tmobile cancellation fee's and Google early termination fee
FOR SALE:
I have a
1)bricked nexus one.
2)brand new car dock
3) seidio battery
4) seidio case
sprint and HTC EVO 4g here i come!!!!
unless someone can save the day
which froyo rom did u try to flash? one with or without the radio included?
from sounds of it, prob the radio one since u saw the android out of box. Did you turn your device off while the android out of box was showing or did u allow for it to reboot it self?

why not just get HTC to fix it and pay their charges (~$150)
send it to HTC and see what they can do about it...
Take the battery out and leave it out for a minute. Hold down power for about 15 seconds and keep holding it while putting the battery in. Keep right on holding it for about 15 more seconds. The android out of the box was the radio flashing, it can take a few minutes and if you interupted that your in trouble. It would be cheaper to send it in to get it fixed and remember the lesson learned for next time.
If you interrupted it when the android arrow image was being displayed, you might have bricked. Always wait at least 5 minutes before interrupting during a flash.
Oh, and I'll probably take your car dock if you're selling it. Hope you can fix the phone though. It would probably be much cheaper to pay HTC to replace the mother board on it than to pay all those fees..
If your gonna pay those etf fees, why not just buty another phone to use on the t-mobile network?

If it's really bricked, this is the most sound advice.

Means you interrupt the radio flash, Android out of the box in the middle is the time where they are flashing the radio.
Any intteruption when flashing the radio means bricking the phone.
** I did interrupt it last time when I 1st flash the ROM with radio due to my impatient. The phone is brick and no way to get it back. The only way is send back to HTC for repairment (I assuming is replacement as I get back different unit where the IMEI code is totally different), if you are lucky enough you may get a free replacement. (I get mine but that is an old story, that time it seems I am the 1st bricking it)

im pretty sure its the one with the radio the one Paul had first posted, i think its the radio as well because after the install when i went to reboot if im not mistaken it said writing radio then it rebooted and i saw the android out of the box after that i was still able to get to the recovery and i tried to flash again the same rom. and after that it died i couldn't go to the fastboot / recovery when phone is plugged into the charger led doesn't go on with or without the battery i swapped batteries let the phone sit for a few hours nothing.
maybe wait for the OTA to release and just say you goofed on the installation?
tmobile is so bad in new york it sucks data is horrible honestly i just wanna leave tmoible and go with spring evo 4g i figure i can sell on ebay my bricked phone maybe someone can use it for parts and the rest of my accessory's to make up the difference somewhat eta is like 150 for tmoible and google charges i think another 125 i just dont want to pay again honestly for another nexus one (i loved the phone) only to stay with ****ty tmoible service .. i guess its worth it to send to htc and see what they say

I'm with Arcana...if you've been doing it "without a problem," then what happened here?
rule #1 when flashing a radio...DON'T LOSE POWER!
no one deserves to lose a $500+ investment...but come on, man. if you don't fulling understand what you're doing, don't do it.
and surely you didn't think you'd be able to come here and post about your mishap and not have someone criticize you for it?

i flashed froyo with RA 1.6

Worst case, HTC will charge you about $200.00 USD to replace your system board. You will get back stock phone.

I don't believe you..but good luck. Get it fixed, then sell it. It'll be cheaper than trying to sell a phone that no one well want to buy.
HI I just downloaded the radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.50.11 **(from TMOUS 2.01):
The flashing was done successfully. But the phone never woke up afterwards.
no led when i connect to power. and cannot get into the boot loader mode by pressing the power button and volume down either.
Any suggestions?
Nothing you can do. You're not suppose to flash a .51 radio on a TMOUS HD2 or else it will brick it

He didn't, he flashed a ..50.. radio,,,,, sadly, it is one of the two ..50.. radios that has the same effect as a 51 on tmous - brick
2.04.50.x and 2.05.50.x are just as deadly as any 51 radio for tmous.
@OP, sorry, its gone.
Flashed wrong radio
I did the same thing to mines and like they said there is nothing you can do. I even sent my phone to HTC to see if they could fix it. no luck just a waste of time and money. Sorry for your lost..
why they dont just remove it and tell about it :O
return it to HTC. tell them it just stopped working, it should still be in warranty.
Sad
Thanks for your condolences guys.
I am not in the US and I just bought this from a phone dealer who brought it from the US and he also has bought it from another person in the US probably from ebay. So no invoices or anything at all. So is it possible to return it back to HTC or Tmobile without any documentation? the phone definitely should be under warranty cos its still a new new model. But no documentation to prove purchase..
Do you guys think it is possible get a replacement without any documentation or the original owner??

Sorry for your loss, the phone is definitely dead unfortunately. Not sure what your recourse can be given the lack of documentation You could always try just telling them it's dead and see what they say, good luck!
noone have the tool to unbrick it else then tmobile :?
its def worth contacting htc to ask about warranty. all products come with a manufacturers warranty, and in this case all hd2s are still within the first year.
they may charge something, since its outside the sales route, but better than nothing!
i bought a faulty archos 605 WiFi from ebay, brand new, dead out of box for £200 less than cost,,, archos fixed it for £25 and sent it back shipping free.
Mine gets into boot loader but I am not able to flash any rom. When i try via usb it always stop at 8%
When i try from SD card nothing happens. It looks like as if the boot loader is not reading from SD card.
Any sugesstions?

Just like the SD Card Gimmick where SO many people are responding, that HTC is catching on. They get so many bricks back due to bad flashes, that they are now catching on to that too, but it's still worth a try. I bought mine off Craigslist 2nd hand, and HTC replaced my Motherboard for free a few months ago. Of course, it was still under warranty.
i had my phone shut off and just turned it back on and i have this huge white out spot on my lcd near where the keyboard pops up. you can plainly see it on a white background. i know it didn't get wet because it is in a body glove case.
anyways i pulled the back cover off and there is no water damage sticker on the phone at all, just on the battery. and it doesn't show it got wet at all. are new phones shipping without them because i may have to take this back for an exchange and i don't want to be accused of getting it wet.
also what is the latest 2.2 version these phone ship with, so i can run the RUU if need be.
It's a screen defunct. I have it on my phone as well, probably almost the same exact spot. You can try and get them to replace the phone for you, doesn't really bother me too much so I didn't bother trying to get a new one.

This is exactly why the subsidized price point for new Smartphones jumped from 199 to 299 within just 1 yr.
You are adult enough to know that messing with your phone can brick it, you should be adult enough to take financial responsibility instead of abusing the warranty.
Actions like this lead to stricter warranty policies, horrible return/exchange policies, and like I already mentioned...increased price points.

Thank you.
And FYI for those who don't know.. even if they find it "out of warranty" the replacement cost is only 90 bucks.. But who am i to deny a free replacement..
Because of so many phones being sent in bricked, not having the problems they stated, or just trying to push the exchanges to get a multiple/alternate exchange, T-mobile has changed the warranty exchange policy to include a $20 processing fee plus shipping with those that don't have an extended warranty/insurance. Those that kept insurance are fine with only paying $5 and it gets shipped express.
Wish I had a damn warranty.. My first vibrant I got off Craigslist it looked fine and all when I first checked it out in person. But when I got home and tried to charge it the damn usb port was dead. Gave up on trying to replace usb port, so found another on Craigslist with a broken screen for cheap, just swapped boards and now all is well. I probably could have saved money just upgrading my contract for one, but really wanted to wait for newer devices this year.
