Hello everyone
Yes, it might be crazy or strange but i'd like to get a new x8 with cypress. Actually I have a black X8 with synaptic but I would SO like to have a cypress x8.I have still 1 year of warranty. I was wondering if it would be possible to brick my phone (not by breaking it of course -_-') and how to do it to make the store where i bought my x8 think that my x8 is DEAD. Maybe they would after give me a new x8 (with cypress if i'm lucky ) . I'm sure a lot of people already thought about that "strange plan" but it would be very thankful if you could help me and snptc owners
Also, i have gingerdx v018 my bootloader isn't unblocked and as i said i have synaptic digitizer.
Thanks in advance.

Huh i was wanting to just smash my phone to the ground when i find out i have synaptics.... but now i dont really care pinch to zoom its enough for me
stock rom - not rooted , cuz i brick it and need to do everything again..
just screw urself while unlockin bootloader. thats super brick, however u must make a good excuse for urself
disclaimer: just a suggestion,im not responsible for anything except if u made it
dammit,i wonder why i didnt think of doing this in the first place. the workers where i bought my x8 didnt even know anything about the phones they r selling. maybe i will do it when my warranty is one month left
but i heard that some newer version of x8 have problems unlocking bootloader, might think twice

I can build a kernel that will permbrick your x8. It will kill your X8.

when you will have cypres then with ics problem for now my synaptics works fine with ics dualtouch biult in
My excuse will be : "My phone seems to be dead and i don't know why. I found it like that in the morning...can you repair my x8 ?? " lol isn't it a good excuse ?
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
i have this better idea, customize your phone, and sell it higer because you make it faster and better, or if you want to destroy your phone try this, enter root explorer go to the main memory put a virus there and then delete every thing: result, your phone doesnt have anything i think that it wouldnt boot, when you give the phone to the service, it will have a virus in you understand? pm me if you didnt understand
Lol okay but what kind of virus ??

Put your phone in a microwave for some time and your motherboard will burn.
But do it at your own risk.
Update your phone using pc companion and in the middle of installing eclair process pull the usb cable and said the power is down when i upgrade my phone
I think that's the most common reason.. LOL

from what do i know, most of the company are only will "replace" your phone if your device die about more than 80% of your warranty time.
After that, they will only "repair" the damaged part.
so, good luck for you to claim a new phone.
about the virus part, i guess that is impossible to hard brick our phone if there is bootloader locked, and don't forget our system based on linux. normal windows virus will not work on it.

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.
Sent from my HERO200 using Tapatalk
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.

And what about Nexus One ?
I guess that he have same family chip ( T1007A, http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-One-Teardown/1654/2 ).
So, if they have emulate DT, we can have too.
Sorry for my bad English.
Edit :
NEXUS ONE WIKI ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_One )
Hardware
"The capacitive touchscreen which uses the Synaptics ClearPad 2000 sensor[60] supports multi-touch gestures limited to single finger input and 2x1D two finger gestures.["
=> Click on "2x1D two finger gestures" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesture-enhanced_single-touch )
"Gesture-Enhanced Single-Touch, also known as "Dual Control", "Gesture Touch" and often "Dual-Touch" describes the ability of a touchscreen to register certain two-finger gestures, even though the display hardware does not have full Dual-Touch capabilities.[1] A very common application is the pinch-to-zoom gesture, which allows the user to zoom in or out by moving two fingers farther apart or closer together while touching the display. "
First step do !
We have Pinch Zoom.
I hope step Two will be done ( fake DT )

Hey guys,
I know we are all eager to have dual touch thats why i've done lots of digging
This website https://github.com/cyanogen/htc-kernel-msm7227-exp/commit/62382c4b7c097bc21f698aeec8f15fb91312f4ed shows a kernel driver for an htc device with msm7227 cpu and a synaptics t1021a digitizer from cm sources
I dont know much about programming but i went through it and it seems to be a dual touch driver
If some1 with expertise could look into it and see if its actually usefull cuz i didnt wanna bother any of the dev's
Anyhow thanks in advance
Edit: this a related code
https://github.com/cyanogen/htc-kernel-msm7227-exp/commit/a6d392222595695335cb712ffe8858c989b62683

ok,, sory about that,, i have edited my post,
as we all know a lot of phones that use the same Synaptics phone with x8 and it has multitouch functions that do not exist at x8 .., so it's clear that this problem is the driver to run mt on each phone., so the conclusion we must have the same drivers that phones like the n8 and nexus have .., and for that we must hope there is someone who has high skill progammer on this board who are willing to examine this and can enable its to x8..

Don't think that will work. If you are talking about claiming on insurance. They will just flash old phone with new software. I recently posted on the hope I would get a new. Phone. But mine is a genuine claim.... if. Its repairable they will simply repair it as the may or may not do with my phone
