The only way I know of to properly screw your phone is to flash an incompatible radio, but even then I'm not sure that HTC will replace it. First time I've come across someone who actually wants to bork their phone!

Downgrade to froyo. That will completely **** it.
Edit: HTC will probably replace the motherboard, almost as good as a new phone.

For what I known (at least in my country) phones are replaced with a new one if it has less than 7 or 14 days, after that they will repair your phone...
A myth through the web say that you could screw you phone by putting it in the micro-wave for a few seconds (obviously without battery); some people tell that it's detectable, others not, others say only if you cook for long time...

Thank you guys but I want more and exact suggestions by which HTC can replace my cell not only motherboard...I m from india.
Does anyone have an exact idea and yeah one more thing how to flash a radio.

I would be carefull because if you mess up your phone htc could say that it was caused by you when you got the marks on the case as they say you dropped it even if you didn't.

I don't think its worth the trouble, of you deliberately brick it, they will either not fix it, or maybe replace the motherboard.
Maybe you can take it somewhere to get the casing replaced? You can buy that sort of stuff in eBay

No point really if there's nothing actually wrong with the phone besides cosmetic. Post a pic of the damage?

Idk how Urs in India, but Herr in Austria they just repair if phone never fell hard on the Ground or Water. My little Brother bricked his Samsung Galaxy Ace s Motherboard by flashing another Recovery. And Samsung has given us a new phone, it was rooted.

Yeah, this is what happened to my IncS. It was little less than a month old when my wife dropped it on hard ground. The ambient light sensor went berserk, and the phone would restart every few minutes. Took it to a HTC center here in B'lore, and they gave me a new IncS In fact, I was given the choice to take any HTC phone for the same price.
Good luck if you decide on doing the same
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTC IncS, now on MIUI. Was on Cyanogenmod, VirtuousQuattro RC3/4, and something else before that

so they didn't ask why the light sensor went bad ? i mean does HTC replace a handset if it is damaged due to human error or natural causes?

I never told them I dropped it But of course, unlike in your case, my phone did not have too many scratches on it. Very few, actually. The only apparent problem with it was the light sensor.

[Q] galaxy note in a bad condition please help

so i switched my phone off to get out the SD card but it won't switch on again....not in recovery mood...not i download mood...nothing its just black screen !
i tried several things like 1)removing the battery and waiting for several hours and pluging the battery again
2)charging the mobile (the mobile got hot from the back though as if it was charging)
3)connecting it to a laptop
when i lost hope and was just about to go to Samsung one of my friends whose brother is a mobile expert and a developer told me to give the mobile to him and he can fix it for me so i gave it to him but before i do i dropped my mobile into a bag filled with acetone.....he said that it is not a problem he can clean it for me and find out why its not working he kept working on it for 2 days but no results...he just cleaned it from the aceton (he said he knew because the camera was white but now it's normal) and he tried opening it but he couldn't catch the problem ! so i am planning to go to the insurance company but i am scared that they will refuse to help me because 1)the phone was opened from the inside 2)i used it wrongfully which caused the dis-function 3)it was a rooted phone
i know i talked alot but i would really appreciate it if someone told me if i can just fix it myself or do i really have to go and is it a good possiblity that they will refuse to fix it for me and if they did what should i do ?

i know the problem is complicated but can someone please help me or tell what to expect at the warranty center

You have to pay almost half of the amount you paid to bought it to get it repaired at warranty centre

warranty is void . You cant take it to insurance company it'll be turned down instantly . Its probably a dead board . Or something shorted.

[Q] Sent HTC One to repair?

hey
Me and my one just fallen down the stairs about 4 weeks ago. Since then I did not have the heart to send it to Avarto (german repair center). But I am even not quite sure if I need to sent it in.
So the following is damaged on my device:
-As you can see on photo 1 the left side is definitely crooked
-The display is coming out of the device a bit (Photo 2) I can press it it but it does come out again. Touch doesnt seem to be affected by this issue though...
That are the only things I could notice anything else works fine. But what in about 3 Months? may the display come off the panel or something? What do you think? Should I sent it in to Avarto? Some other users said that Avarto just sent their phone back after 1 week repaired, other said that their phone was completely damaged...
Thanks for help!
Robin
BTW: I can still use my original HTC Case
Picture One:
Picture Two:

Avarto said that I need to pay 29€ if they sent it back unrepaired.

That's awful, I would repair it myself since you won't get warranty for that anyway!

My phone also has broken screen with touch not working only 10% of the area around bottom right corner and 3 control buttons. I can still dial numbers and make phone calls. I have checked with Service center and they were quoting around Rs.7K. I bought this phone for Rs.14.5K around 2 months back. I feel its very costly to spend 50% of the phone cost to repair touch problem.

Hi,
Yesterday my son piss on my mobile. A few drops went in through earphone hole. Immediately switched off the mobile and cleaned with earbuds. While switching off the i saw the screen flickering and earphone symbol with out attaching earphone jack. After some time, switched on screen is blank. but the system working. First Service centre people say's display costs 7000/-.(approx) when he open the mobile he says total board has to the changed and it costs 9000/-.
I think it is only display problem. Becoz i hear the boot screen sound. If i buy the spare (Lcd + Touch) on ebay and get it replaced by un-authorised service centre......It might cost less than 7000/- Sugest me... please...........

is fitment good?...coz at first under warranty time my display(A250) created problem and was repaired free of cost but fitment was pathetic BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER:cyclops: can u believe it and it was repaired after a wait of bloody 30 days with lots of mailing to MMX.
well after few days my phone fell on road :crying: and got 5 hairline on screen yet it's touch is working..that's not all one day accidentally water drops fall on it. with rapid action a switch it off and after an hour switch it on but it was flashing and rebooting all the time and I had the idea that it would cost me not less then 7-10 k. so i put this A250 in Almira as a signature of my irresponsible attitude. After wait of long 5-6 months my frustration reached on cloud 9 and I took that phone and went to my close by local mobile repairer . his said will check and let me know about it on next day...on next day when i went there he said check your phone and it was working though screen was having those hair line creak & he said ..200 hundred Rs. I was so happy.. local mobile guys Rocks and Auth.service Center suckz.

Kindly suggest me if do a root will this prob resolve else also guide me if i should reach Micromax SC(sure they will charge high and I need to handover my phone for a month).Awaiting for your response guys. Thanks!

First take out Sim and SD card, if they were in their ports
Second, don't use your phone for about one or two days, at all
Third, place your phone in warm places, like near windows to get sunlight or sth like this
Last, if they did not work, go to Sony Service Center in your city or country
If your ports were open while the water went in, I think you should pay more than the closed ports condition
