So last Friday I was attempting to install Galaxy S status bar on my N1, but in the process of trying to do too much I Bricked my phone. Mind you, Im not a complete noob to the process. I've rooted mytouch, G1, and even tinkered with my Shadow, so I'm pretty familiar with the processes, but this time I finally F'd up and I knew it. Phone just flashed orange and green light top right corner. Did my research and saw other posts w/similar problems but all battery related, but I still tried their solutions to no avail. The only thing to do other than to use it as paper weight was to try my warranty, which all of us know is void after unlocking. So I Called HTC warranty hotline and explained my problem without telling them of the custom rom I installed and they gave me two options; replace w/refurb or fix mine, mine is engraved so replacement out of question. So they emailed me a overnight shipping label, I sent it to them on Monday, they received it on Tuesday, Fixed it on Thursday, and I got it back on Friday, good as new. So basically to all who dare to root and mod your phones and Brick it in the process. Try your warranty. Worse they can say is no. In my case they fixed it.
They fixed mine as well and even re-locked the bootloader. Mind you, I ended up rooting it again as soon as I got it back. HTC rocks!

Now that's service I'm impressed. Frankly I'm impressed with Android and the community. Google knows exactly what people are doing and they go just a step shy of condoning it and now to hear the HTC does this sort of thing knowing fully well that there's a 99% chance it's bricked cause someone was nerding out it
Having come over from a 3GS just about a month ago I am really impressed with Android. The only thing now is a solid hardware platform. I love my Nexus One but there are things HTC could have done better, mainly screen related, and Motorola is etched in my brain as making the most annoying phones in history. But aside from that, I think it's Android for life for me
Are you sure your bricking related to flashing a themed bar?
I thought that bricking your phone was only possible through some low-level processes such as flashing a radio.
Either way, glad they fixed your problems.
Yea. Pretty sure I bricked it. Trying to flash the Galaxy status bar didn't brick it, but the series of mis-steps that followed did. But I got it back, re-unlocked it and happy as can be. Thanx HTC.
Hi, did HTC ask you for an reeipt or proof of warranty? I am asking cause i purchased my nexus from ebay(no receipt or warranty whatsoever) and i've read in other threads that HTC did not ask for these papers considering that the phone is less than 1 yr old.
thanks.
makes me wonder why anyone would want to root without unlocking the bootloader

Nope. I bought mine off ebay as well and I even said that on the phone but the lady from HTC said that was fine. They fixed my phone no problem
I am going to attempt a replacement on mine. Except I have the unfortunate issue of the void sticker missing from the screw on the back. I'm going to send it in anyway, since I have a dust under the screen issue. Perhaps they will be nice and replace it anyway. If not, well I guess it will cost me $28 to get it back. Or maybe not that much to have them fix it..
23/06/2011 EDIT: IT SEEMS HTC UK DO NOT REALLY CHECK/OR DO NOT CARE! THEY REPAIRED MY PHONE DESPITE IT BEING RADIO S-OFF AND CWM ON IT! Let's hope this lasts for the remainder of my 2 year warrenty!, although it would be better if the chip just didnt fail!
I checked the status of my repair today and it says " Your phone is ready for pick-up. Our customer service representatives or express delivery staff will contact you about a delivery schedule to return your HTC phone." Which means i should get it tomorrow, happy days
I was turning on my wi-fi when all of a sudden my Desire Z froze, completely!
This is on the second day of use after warrenty repair! (it froze and wouldn't turn on again)
So i pulled the battery out and now the phone is messed up, and i can't send it in for warrenty yet, as it clearly has Radio S-Off and Clockworkmod! (but i do not have eng hboot)
When i turn the phone on it stays at the HTC screen for ages, then after a while it fails to load anything and boots into recovery.
In clockwordmod It displays lots of E: failed to mount cache/recovery.....
I tried to flash a rom but it no longer detects my sdcard(s) (fails to mount that too)
i tried to flash via bootloader and pc10img.zip, but that fails with -fail-pu
i need to send it into htc, but will they check s-off and clockwordmod??? this is in the UK! The phone was only bought in march
Have you tried using a different sd card? If you are unable to mount the other partitions, you may be hosed I'm just curious if changing sd cards might help.
yep, i've tried two that i KNOW work, one of them works in bootloader, so i don't see why it shouldn't work in recovery
It's a hardware issue. You'll have to send it in how it is.
Everyone I've heard of with the issue got it replaced just fine despite being s-off.
There's a thread here about it.
-Nipqer
okay, let's hope it's the same for me!
i'm really annoyed at the fact that it broke 1 day after the first hardware failure!
damn im starting to see this issue more than before lately :s im even scared to flash new stuff now
the thing is, i s-offed it, flashed it ONCE since it was repaired and less than 24hours later it freezes and fails -_-
I had a mytouch 4g for a bit and their forums are blowing up about this issue too. It apparently has to do with the emmc chip. It falis to partition any longer or becomes corrupt. There are two that the g2 and the mytouch can come with and one of the chips is much more susceptible to the failure

How exactly do we check the chip?? I would like to check mines to see if I have the bad chip!
Edit: Never mind.. just run this in a terminal or adb
cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name
So those of us getting replacements are more than likely gonna have this newer chip in it? Ugh!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
i don't trust this chip, they only fixed it on thursday, it took all of one day to fail!
and this time they can see that i have s-offed it! (last time it just failed to turn on at all) so i'm worried they'll charge me to fix it!
At least this has a 2year warrenty (length of my contract) but now i'm scared to s-off it when i get it back, incase they don't repair it again!
If you put an eng hboot on, you can brick it nice and proper so they can't see the s-off.

So I'm right then. Those of us getting new phones are up **** crick and gonna brick it for rooting and s offing it huh this sux. I bet they did this **** on purpose so if we tried to s off it that it would bust it. This is ridiculous this is OUR hardware how DARE they.

why dont you total it completely... take a capacitor, take the battery out.. charge the capacitor using a 9v battery and shock all the terminals... it wont turn on then... this is by no means a good way to get out of it but it may work... i hope we could find a solution to fix it but if the chips are crap then try it.... i have done it with my old nokia n95 when it kept freezing... i got a warrenty replacment
dont blame me if it doesnt work though lol its only a thought for you to ponder.... i would try and fix the problem using adb techniques if possible
i did try flash a eng hboot (and desire HD one to try and brick it) on, it fails with -fail-pu, so no can do there!
hopefully they'll fix it regardless, they're picking it up today.
i'm not going to do anything radical to the phone, just incase, if they charge me to fix it, i'll see how much it is, (i'd have to pay £20 to return it un-repaired anyway) if it's too pricey, i'll have it returned, and sell it on ebay and buy another HD2 with that money and whatever i can scrape together!
also, i don't have a capacitor
Not all new G2's are coming with the bad chip. I just got my latest a few weeks back (new in box) and it, thankfully, does have the good chip in it. So, not all hope is lost with getting a replacement.
Also, in the Mytouch 4g forum, many have sent their phones in for replacement just for this reason and many have been rooted and unable to UNroot due to this issue and they have all been replaced without any problems. So, hopefuly you are in that boat and don't have to worry.

Well if it was a new one that might be way. It seems they stopped manufacturing these phones awhile ago so more than likely its been sitting on a stock shelf for months! Unlike a refurb where if the person who sent it back hardware bricked it or something, they probably had to change the emmc chip in it :/

Has anyone any experience sending their phone to the HTC repair centre after bricking their phone?
Long story short but i flashed the wrong boot animation and completely wiped the phone and despite several attempts to get a ROM on it again (spent days) I was unable to do so so brought it back to the shops where I bought it (was locked to o2 but I got it unlocked)
They sent it to company here called Fonemenders, i got a text today saying it has to be sent for level 3 repairs and mentioned something about the motherboard, now that has scared me a bit, it's bad enough I have to wait another 7 to 10 days but does anyone think I'll get charged given they'll see that it says tampered on it, i fail to see how it could be a problem with the motherboard too.
Has anyone any experience sending their phone to the HTC repair centre and what was the process.
Seriously contemplating never flashing anything again on my phone after this nightmare

I don't have any experience with HTC's repair centers, but I've sent in several rooted Samsung devices and a bricked Asus Transformer for repair. My experience has been that the people in the repair centers really don't give a crap. Relax and hope for the best :good:
Samsung phones are seriously easy to modify compared to HTC, I'm no noob and read extensively on here and followed instructions to a t but still couldnt manage to get a stock or custom ROM back on my phone after that bad flash and me wiping it, no matter what I done.
Feel like I'm missing a limb here have gone over a week without it and now have another week wait, i won't rest easy until I have a fully working phone again.
Hope you are right my friend.

I don't think HTC phones are difficult to flash, sure, not as easy as Samsung, but on the other hand, much harder to brick.

I'm a bit concerned though why they mentioned the motherboard (see attached) there was nothing wrong with the motherboard all that needed to be done is for stock ROM to be flashed back on it.
I'm reading some reports of people being charged a lot when they are informed the motherboard has to be replaced, i should have just sent it into a repair shop in town for €25.
Well the flash ROM is soldered to the motherboard, if it is bricked, it would require a new motherboard.
It's probably not bricked, but in order to maintain your warranty, sometimes they say they must return it in "factory condition", which means unlocked. Which means a new motherboard. That's probably not really true in most cases, but once it's been unlocked, it's possible to overvoltage and overclock, which has the potential, however slight, to cause hardware damage.

I'm very curious to see how HTC will replace the motherboard without causing dents in white polymer or screen damage, as we saw in ifix only with heat and a scalpel can be open the ONE.
Unless HTC repair center have an opening method that we dont know, they should give you a new device.

I sincerely hope you are right mate, I'd snap up a new device now.
I will report back anyway, if they come up with obscene charges I'll have to just leave it into a mobile repair shop here, i already went there and they said it would take a week and I thought that was too long but in retrospect I should have just left it with them.

Sorry when I said bricked it's just a term, i could get into recovery and I even relocked the bootloader so i tried all the various commands but i simply could not get anything to work, can't they just flash a ruu.exe for my device, i tried that myself but the ruu.exe in question was not compatible with my phone (earlier version)
What happens in an event that they fix it and then try and charge me and I refuse to pay or is it likely they'll be contact me first to inform me of this, and if i refuse to pay they'll just give me back the phone as it is?
I'm skint and haven't really got the money to pay for repairs, can afford a few quid but not over €100

iFixits teardown was flawed. If you pop the two speaker enclosures off there are screws that allow you to open the device.

Yup. The detachable speaker covers are the last seal in the assembly but iFixit acted under the assumption it's fully zero gap, so they broke it

If they have identified an issue with hardware then thats good for you as you'll get a new device and your flashing has not been identified as they issue..... Your lucky they're doing it under warranty.
Mate don't worry about sending it off I've done it before sometimes its delivered earlier than expected and had my screen replaced before and there was nothing wrong with it as far as I'm concerned...I was happy with the service some people may have different experiences

How exactly did you 'disconnect' the battery in a device with a non-removable battery?
Also holding down power button for 30+ Seconds is the universal "Kill switch" for situations like this, I'm thinking popping the battery was probably the worst thing you probably could have done (as you may have done something inside the unit).
Also the "other software" bit... that is not usually a problem if there is actual hardware fault with the unit... however popping the thing open to disconnect the battery most certainly would have voided the hardware portion of the warranty.

How old is it? Maybe the battery is shot?
The only other thing I can think of just off the top of my head, is the possibility you didn't ground yourself before messing with the battery and shorted something. Also not sure bout the whining noise from the N7 (as I'm nearly deaf I usually don't hear high pitch stuff from my own stuff).

The warranty is considered void if the bootloader is unlocked. It does sound like a hardware failure.

I guess it is worth a try. If they decide not to honor the warranty, they will call you with the price of the repair, or if you dont want to pay, just to ship it back to you as is.

Depending on the company problems caused by hardware (if you can prove it), would be irrelevant if the bootloader was unlocked if the hardware fault would have occurred regardless. I've actually helped a friend (many years ago) get warranty on his HTC Sapphire (T-Mobile MyTouch3G Fender), even though it had been rooted and custom bootloader, because the fault was clearly hardware and unrelated to anything that was done via the software.

Are you sure? As far as I know unlocking the boot loader doesn't void the warranty. Only in case the unlocked boot loader is the reason for the fault (I.e. you flashed it with wrong software) the warranty us considered void.
A different thing is opening the case: this might be seen as a reason to declare the warranty void.

This is fundamentally true. It's part of the magnussen-moss warranty acct. But if you were denied (wrongly) are you going to legally challenge them over a $200 device?
The warranty act was put in place, partially, to keep Mfgs from requiring branded parts/consumables to get warranty protection. For instance requiring you to run Ford branded oil in your Ford truck. But a side benefit is that you cannot (should not) be denied warranty for a bad windshield washer motor because you put wider rims on your car.
Back to our devices. I think the whole warranty thing is blown out of proportion. There is no bounty for finding rooted device. I guarantee you the returns dept is short staffed and has a metric for how many devices they process a day. Is anyone seeing lots of reports of warranty denied? It's a $200 device, not a new engine for a Subaru WRX.
With all that said I'm not a fan of sending a device that was borked by a bad flash back for warranty replacement. (Bad hardware is a different case.

I have just rang HTC and spoke on the chat in regards to the purple haze on my silver HTC One.. They are both adamant that even though the purple camera tint is not related to the S-OFF and software I am not able to get it fixed under warranty.. It clearly states on the dev unlock screen
"It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty" Surely the camera is an exact example of a hardware problem with the inability to have been damaged by an unlocked device
It is clearly not an issue caused by software with the obvious thouands of the first generation phones having the problem. I cant go back to stock Voda as there is no ruu and I accidentally wiped internal storage and had to sideload a rom..
I was going to buy the M8 when it comes out but I am thinking a shift towards samsung..

that is an unfortunate side-effect from getting s-off... I think its been clearly stated everywhere that s-off, voids your warranty
What are you going to get instead of an HTC? They all void your warranty now. Look at what Samsung did with KNOX.
Sorry for your luck but S-OFF will definitely void your warranty. If you had used your S-OFF status to revert to your phone being locked and S-ON before contacting them, you wouldn't have this problem because they can't tell that you used your HTCDev token, just that you requested it. Unfortunately they have a log that you admit to tampering with the phone now so that's a moot point. You can try to escalate the issue since they know it is a hardware issue, it might just be a matter of getting someone who knows what they are doing.

They didnt take my imei number just my email so dont know what HTC one I am talking about, I suppose I could put S-on and get it replaced. in that instance.
As far as another handset its between samsung and nexus devices, especially the nexus ones due to high optimisation from stock!!
I had s-off and unlocked bootloader, but they either didn't notice or didn't care. I've reflashed stock rom thou. Replaced my camera and I got it back the next day. I also didn't have warranty, but they were like "Well, we guess you couldn't have bought it more than a year ago, so nevermind". M8, here I come!
Sorry but this thread title makes me laugh.... "there unintelligent"
S-OFF has nothing to do with warranty. Many phones are shipped in an S-OFF state. Unlocked bootloader and TAMPERED flag triggered is what causes the warranty to be void.

Took my phone with recovery and custom software, they said my warranty is voided now after talking to the manager boom replacing my camera and battery (had issue with my battery finished too quick) now I am waiting for them to send it back . But better s-on and stock it to be on the safe side
