How Many Phones have u bricked ?
wel uhm iv bricked a imate sp3 and a nokia ngage and a siemens s55 pulled out the cable on 65% during update none of the came back to life.
the nokia service center repair guy told me to take my fone and put it under the car by the wheel and then drive foward and then reverse again crazy person.
the imate ended up in pieces
The Repair shop i tooke the siemens to ended being a sports bar so dunno what happend
and i bricked my sisterz sonyericson f500i
did you brick these all at once? maybe you should just buy a new phone and once the guy gives you the docket take the phone out of the box and throw it at the floor... will save you time getting it home and bricking that one.
I so far have not bricked any thing.
I have unbricked about 5 x-boxes and an N-gage

This handset is less than a year old, why not just send it back for software upgrade?? As you are from the UK also, not many people do know this but all mobile phones now have a 24 month warranty (they dont tell you this to stop you from taking your phone back but this is EU law)
just found out this is a world wide problem is so bad that some operators who sold the phone are asking for there return!!

glad we can get around theses problems!!
Just wanted to share with everyone my experience I just had with HTC regarding the repair of my beloved Kaiser.
About 4 weeks ago my phone tri-color screened on my me. After several weeks of posting to this forum trying to get a fix I finally called for an RMA#.
Sent the phone off, got a call 3 days later saying they were running it through is diagnostics and would report back to me. 3 days later they called me and said it was being repaired and I owed them $20. Paid them and then 4 days later received a call saying my phone was repaired and it was being shipped out and the guy gave me my tracking number.
So the phone shows up and it has a description of what repairs were done. The replaced the mainboard as well as the usb connector. Loaded on WM 6.1 for me and also replaced the entire key pad on the front of the phone. Keep in mind they only thing I think was wrong with the phone to begin with was I screwed up loading the newer SPL so I could flash the phone.
Not sure if everyone has had such a good experience with HTC but this is the reason I will keep buying the phones as they come out. I honestly thought they were going to charge me $150 plus to do this.
So I will take back my 3G iPhone I got and start using my favorite phone of all time.
Now if HTC will make a phone with a larger screen the world will nearly be a perfect place!!!
Happy flashing,
heat
I think I need them to... sounds like the same problem I have. I'll call HTC today so the process can be started to repair my phone... In the Netherlands I heard less positive reactions to HTC's Service.
yah i sent back a tilt with a broken lcd and red light of death and they didnt charge me a dime..they said there was pressure damage to lcd and the mainboard needed to be replaced and also housing because they stated that they need to break the housing to replace the lcd (which is crap) so they quoted me like 300 or something (i dont remember it was 6 months ago) and i told them just to send it back to me with nothing done to it and i dont hear back from them and a week later they call me saying theyre shipping it back and everything has been replaced and i didnt even get the $29 diagnostics fee so that was awesome and to think i almost sent it in to att through exchange by mail warranty program
I sent my kaiser to their repair service for unresponsive keys on the keyboard.
It came back about 10 days later with a new keyboard, new back cover (the rubber external gsp cover was a bit loose) and a new lcd screen (don't know why).
It was warranty, so I didn't have to pay anything.
Satisfied customer over here
I have a Kaiser with the 3G/HSDPA problem in Spain, at this moment is at the Service centre for three times, each time along one month and return with the same problem. I am very unhappy
Hey I tried to unlock my HTC touch diamond with an unlocking software. In the process the cell phone suddenly turned off and now it is not working at all. Not turning on .. even not charging up the battery. In short look like no sign of life in the mobile phone. I tried every thing nothing work. I do have the warranty but dont have the reciept.
What can i do with this situation . any ideas how can i atleast make the phone start??? you exeriences and ideas??
thanls
sooo, you used the unlocker from ppcgeeks, which is fr cdma phones (and I'm not sure it its unlocking anything at all). Anyway - the only way to fix it is to send it to the service centre. If the phone is still on guarantee, there's big chance, that they will not be able to boot it, and replace the mainboard.
Good luck!
what if i dont have the recipt? no proof of purchase... i bought it from a friend and he lost the recipt for it . I know the fone has atleast 4 months warranty left .. but what else i should do.. again thanks for the reply ..
You're SOL buddy.
Exact same thing happened to me about 6 weeks after I bought my Diamond. Cost me $130 on the insurance claim to get a new one.
Obviously I haven't tried it a second time....
why u paid 130$ if you had insurance???
It was an insurance claim, not a warranty claim, and therefore I'm responsible for part of the replacement cost....sort of like the deductible for your medical or car insurance.
Bought an Xperia about 3 months ago brand new from a T-Mo dealer in Chicago, about a few weeks ago the phone began restarting by itself over and over everytime I touch a button.
I called SE, explained the problem, they told me to send it in. After about a week or two the phone comes back unrepaired. SE states that the phone has been tampered with and they will not be able to repair it."Tampered Unit: Arrived with flux & other residue over most of the board and components have been changed on the board from attempted repair..." I called the dealer who I bought the phone from and they said the phone was brand new and that they did not tamper with it. Now I'm stuck with a $500 paperweight. T-mobile won't help because they said they do not offer this phone in the US. What can I do? Sooooo mad right now.
I am from chile and i can repair that thing very easy...try to use some isopropilic alcohol...to clean it...If that doesn't help the IC should be replaced..with a new one or maybe replaced with the same after clean it...with some specials tools...Of course...
Just go to a random mobile phone repair shop. They will fix it for 50 bucks.
ring sony again and dont back down - if your firm and tell them that you wont take no for an answer then they will give in and stop trying to rip you off
why did you tamper with it???

He didn't, according to his post.
I can get it work for a while after reinstalling the firmware or after a hard reset. Then when I open the settings it keeps rebooting up to 20 times then it stops rebooting when I take the phone and open anything it reboots again and again. I reinstalled the firmware and did hard reset many times. Any Idea what to do? Thank you!
I've just flashed a firmware for another country, nothing changed. Same old boot loop... It worked very good for 6 months. Whatever happened, happened on the day I downloaded Here Maps...
I will try to flash another rom and that's it... If it doesn't work I will not touch the phone until windows phone 10 is out...
If phone is connected to a malfunctioned charger it will try to stop connection with reboots!
Try a new one. Finally use NSU for retail to find a suitable ROM , i mean ORIGINAL rom, for your phone
Thank you for your answer.
I sent the phone to Nokia Service Center because it never turned on again. They told me they would change the main board if I agreed on the price which was more expensive than a new phone's price. I told them I can buy 2 second hand phones with that money. They sent the phone back to me and I disassembled it myself. I think they never opened the phone because everything inside looked brand new. After trying little bit more I broke everything in it and I threw it in the trash. This way was a lot cheaper than their way.... At least I learned something. Never try to get anything repaired by Service centers. Just put it in the trash... I don't know why but I kept the camera...
