1. THE VIBRANT IS AWESOME. I just got out my G1 to flash 2.2 so i could turn it into an IP Webcam full time. how quickly I forgot how small the screen was and how i didnt miss the case creaking or all of its problems. The Vibrant is a 2010 Cadillac and the G1 is a 1999 caprice.
2. I called TMO On a whim to see if i could get a discount on buying a G2. Not to trade, but as an extra. The rep spent 5 minutes bashing the G2 and kept trying to sell me on the Vibrant. EVEN after i told him i wasnt unhappy. Tells me they get a lot of those calls.
Anyway... just a couple random things to clutter up the general forum.

Frankin-Twiz Final, awesome
I need to know a convincing argument to get him to not be pissed. I actually got my phone from him and it was under warranty, I was just sick of not being able to do everything I want to.
Can you guys help me out?
hahaha nice...
just tell him you can always unroot if needed
If or when it screws up, flash the official HTC RUU and then it's back to normal. They don't know if it's rooted or not, if they want to see it flash the RUU.

If he is worried about the warranty, you can always go back to the Spring software by running the RUU from the Sprint/HTC website and the phone will return to the Out-of-Box state... so no worries there.
On the other hand, install a custom ROM (aospCMod) and show him the difference on what all you can do with the phone... as compared to the Sprint software.

Your question has already been answered, just run the RUU to get it back to factory state and magically the warranty's back in effect. What exactly is he pissed about? It's kind of hard to help you devise some type of argument if we don't really know what he's saying since you can undo what's been done. Hmmm...maybe try telling him to stop being such a girl about things and grow a set(no offence to any hermaphrodites who've rooted their phones). If he/she doesn't, refer to my previous drunk post

Tell your Dad that when you master new technology, you are improving your skills and knowledge so that you will be able to secure a well paying job. Tell him that when you do secure that job, YOU will buy HIM a nice new phone!
Try this, used to shut my dad up and leave him pissed with this one:
"When you can explain what I've done wrong and why its wrong, you're a good parent. If you can't explain what I've done wrong you're probably just feeling threatened by my intelligence and natural talents."

run the ruu, show him it is all back to normal, then flash whatever you want, but this time don't tell him about it.
I thought I answered it in the second post? Lol.

____________ making no sense
I am bricked. No boot, no download mode!
Answer: 1. Odin to stock if you can get into DL mode if you can't, skip to step 2
2. Go to Sprint and say your issue or say you got an update and your phone wont turn on. Act stupid.
Big no-noes:
-Usually sprint store reps can't tell you rooted. So don't say "yeah, om rooted so..." or throw up an obvious sign like a theme or boot logo/animation.
This needs too be stikied and on front page good job bro
Don't you have to be in DL mode to use odin?

90% of Sprint reps have no idea what rooting ever means. It is the technicians you have to worry about.

No it doesn't really, but if someone made a good boot animation with a fun animation, I'd use it.

Hey everyone. I just wanted to say a HUGE THANKS to all of you. I made the switch from a jailbroken iPhone to an Atrix 4G on ATT and because of the knowledge base of the users, an organized forum and an excellent search function, I was able to unlock my bootloader, root my phone and install Gingerblur all wiithin an hour. KUDOS!
Welcome! The fun is only starting.
Yeah I'm awesome! Jk Congrats and welcome

Before the bootloader was unlockable, there were the people unhappy with their phones and made threads in a toddler temper tantrum announcing they were getting a different phone and why. It always made me chuckle, that they think anyone cares. Don't see much of those threads anymore.
I have 3 Atrix. I knew that it was a matter of time until it showed its real potential. Now it finally is. it has has a bad rap but it should be more appreciated now.

Gingerbread, CHERRY 3.14 and check out my screenshots here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16156825#post16156825
I'd like to say thanks too. I've rooted, unlocked the bootloader, manually installed GB and the radio update and installed CWM recovery. And everything just worked. The roms and programs worked great, and any lingering issues I had were resolved by a quick search of the forums. You guys have made the process of updating my phone a breeze. Thanks so much!
Granted the Iphone stuff was super easy.... just wait for an update, then wait for someone to develop a jailbreak for it...I just jailbroke my sons friends ipod by going to jailbreakme.com and that was it. Now as far as themes and overall customization, this phone is badarse.
Have a good one everybody!
