TEP and Custom Roms? - Page 2

**gullzway** · #11 (**permalink**) 03-12-2010, 12:15 PM

I had the same thing happen. I took it to a Sprint Repair store, and after 2 hours they said Yes the charger port is bad. They replaced it, but told me if I brought it in again with a Custom Rom that they would not service it again. So it's risky. If you can get a hold of a charged battery, or buy one of those charging docks, then download or bluetooth a stock .nbh as stated before and flash it using bootloader!

Or you can "lose" or "runover" your device with a car. If it's the TEP I have, I have "lost" my phone and had it replaced for the $100 co pay. Asurion insurance.

all good advice...and btw flashing stock should relock it anyway so ya no need to relock.

Good news. With some innovative use of a rubber band to keep pressure of the miniusb connector at the perfect angle the phone is currently charging and connect to my laptop. Should be able to get all my contacts off and get the spring rom transferred over to flash from memory (in case it shorts our during the flash).

Can anyone point me to a stock sprint rom?

Not true, flashing to stock does not relock your phone. You have to relock it using the instructions in the stickys. Many of us flash to stock before flashing to a custom rom to clear out any settings.

If you bring it to an autorized service center they will not replace it when they see a cooked rom but if you do an advanced exchange through tech support you will get the phone first and you don't have to worry about flashing your stock rom. I have ran a repair center for years and when they go back to the warehouse all they check for is water and physical damsge.
