ok, so i have a somewhat unusual issue that i think fits somewhat with this thread. i had a couple hardware buttons break on my phone and went to get it replaced and they said it voided my warranty and finally i got a manager that said if i can get windows mobile 6.1 off of it and put on an operating system downloaded from htc, he can return it because htc wont accept returns with hacked software.

so my concern is, that i dont think i can now bring in a bricked device because they know what's going on (and there is only 1 repair center in san diego). im under the impression that downgrading to 2.09 or 2.17 will brick the phone, even if i dont care about the bootloader and radio (they might not check that if i just bring it straight to the manager and say look, it says 6.0), is this correct?

does anybody have any other suggestions for me?

im currently running:
rom: 3.35.no2.5059
radio: 3.35.04
windows mobile 6.1 pro CE OS 5.2.19292 (build 19202.1.0.0)

my phone currently works except one of the soft buttons on the front and the blue function button on the keyboard, so i would rather have a crippled phone than brick and have to buy a new one.


any help is much appreciated, so thanks in advance.
