So i thought i had f**ked my phone after dropping it in the toilet cause it wouldn't turn on. so I call Tmobile and they ship out a Mytouch 4g slide. but i need to send in my old Mytouch and they said that if they found out my phone isn't broken I'm in trouble. So you will never see this question anywhere but is there a zip I can flash that will like totally Brick my phone. like all the way....seriously!!!!

take a "PD15IMG.zip" file from another HTC device, the Sensation for example, rename it to PD151IMG.zip and flash via bootloader. not sure if that works...
or, download stock PD15IMG.zip for the MT4G, flash via bootloader, and while it's updating, pull the battery, i heard that works.
tell me how it goes
i believe it's PD15IMG.zip... as in one five, not one five one...

what did the tmobile rep tell you?

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Getting the Slide is an option. They are still sending out regular replacement 4G's. I've got one out for delivery to me today.
But you can opt to take a Slide instead. (Not the Sensation though...nooooo...couldn't have that.) Must mean the Slide sales aren't stellar next to the Sensation sales.
Or, you know, you could tell them the truth.
If I tell them I just wanna swap my 4g for a slide will they do it

If you call with a bad screen you will get another mytouch but what I did was I bricked my phone (on purpose) then said that one day my phone won't turn on or charge. Then they offered me a slide. For free. Everything was free but if you want overnight shipping. Cough up some mula

That makes me angry for some reason... I'm calling tmobile right now and getting an extra battery for free just because of that! I love taking advantage of those tools. They owe me anyways... they just upgraded my entire city with HSPA+ and the tower by my house is stuck with HSPA regular (in other words... havent ever gotten over 1Mb up or down). I am looking forward to the eventual release of froyo but am happy with the nexus port with a2sd and espresso camera and gallery (enables changing of lockscreen). But by the time we get it, they will have already released the HTC Vision (G2 Blaze) and I end up picking that up too. Lol... Im losing it, I think!

I don't get what you're asking? Are you asking the G2 forum for suggestions on phones that are comparable that are gonna trade with you?
If so, you've given us absolutely 0 information about how you want to use the phone or what features you're looking for...
And on top of that, I don't think you're going to find many people in the G2 Forum who think higher of a different device.

Haha I see. From my personal experince with the HD7 it was a good phone but your limited on what you can do, for example the market is all most all paid apps.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Dont get a MT4G its too similar to a G2, hardware wise. My recommendation is get a Nexus S, if you want to try something different.
HD7 is a windows phone and those are just boring. I agree something different and good would be the nexus S. If not then just go with the mytouch 4G.
Id wait a bit for something else to be released. Moving on from the G2 to something else right now is not really much different. If u insist, get the mt4g. I won't buy a windows phone too locked down and they are pigs.

How are you liking your mt4g? I am thinking of doing the same thing. I prefer the G2 but I want/need an ffc. Between voice input and Swype I do not think I need the physical keyboard as much anymore.

Skip the Sensation and save your phone, just wait for the Quads like unk said, by that time we would have ice cream sandwich phones with no buttons and 720P resolution(better than qHD), Full HD Camera/vid, and who knows what else.
There is always gonna be a better phone that is going to be released. If you want the sensation and feel that its a good deal then go for it. The mt4g is still a great phone though and i probably wouldnt trade mine away.
Yeah I've been thinking about it and I'm leaning toward keeping the mytouch 4g because I feel it will have a larger user group (which means more support as far as rooting/ROMs). Also, not sure if the bootloader will be unlocked on the Sensation 4G.

Just get the sensation then...It is better in performance since you have neither just get the higher-end one. But I would recommend you to wait for the SGII or ICS phones at the end of the year. But I'm getting very repetitive in explaining why you should get one or the other.

True. I was looking at the sensation forums and it seems like an unlock is very close, official or not. some people were "accidentally" sold sensations with S-OFF and root.
I would do it, $50 Imo is not that much especially when you're getting a sweet looking and powerful phone like the sensation. I am very very happy with my mytouch but if I was offered that deal than I would definitely pull the trigger! If you got the money then do it but if you really don't then don't even think about it just don't do it. Either way I would still upgrade to kai-el. I am off contract so don't really have to worry about termination fees or early upgrading. Thank god!

agree....very good arbitrage situation.
i would get the sensation
I love root and I root every phone I get my hands on before I even log into my Google Account, and the lack of root on the Sensation really pains me. Honestly, all I want is Titanium Backup capabilities so I can transfer my data from games such as Aqua Pets and the various Kairosoft games.
The phone is super sexy, but I guess I'm a "Power-User", cause it only takes a few minutes for my battery level to TANK. Example - Week after power cycling the phone (so hopefully this battery is "conditioned" enough), I leave my house at 8am and around 815 I start downloading Audible books over HSPA+. I lose service at 840 when my train goes underground, and when I get to work 10 minutes later, I'm at 76% already.
The 4G KILLS this phone, and I need Juice Defender Ultimate on EXTREME just to make it through the day.
Comparatively, my MT4G on stock battery last slightly longer under the same circumstances.
So I would recommend holding out on this phone for maybe a month or so. I'm not going to return it, I love it, and Sense 3.0 is actually quite nice. The weather animations and the carousel are nice touches, as are the lockscreen shortcuts and "themes". It's not a bad skin to stock Android, and it doesn't seem to slow the phone down.
There is a ton of useless bloatware on the phone, and some stuff that might be running in the background, so root would be awesome to have to trim the fat in that sense (pun intended).
T-Mobile is replacing my MyTouch4G under warranty with the extra warranty coverage that I pay for.
Should I put the ROM back to stock and lock it, before sending the defective one back to them, or do they not care?
I would, just in case..I don't think S-OFF/ON matters that much unless you can get into the bootloader.

Better safe than sorry. You can always reroot the phone but can't unvoid a warranty. At a very least flash stock rom.

Thanks everybody. I will flash a stock ROM.
I received the Sensation, but I don't like it. I think that I'm going to ask for another MyTouch 4G. The Sensation seems too big in my hand. The MyTouch 4G, similar to the IPhone, I think is the perfect size.
