Mods please close. Thanks in Advance.

Alright guys, there have been several reports about bricked phones after updating the phone.

This happens when you update your phone, and then try to update it again!

So once you have updated your phone....you can still go into HTC software upgrade from the system upgrades in the settings. If you click the HTC software upgrade option, it will say that there is an upgrade available....DO NOT DO THIS. It will brick your phone.

Why??? I have no clue! But several users have bricked phones.

Once again, please DO NOT upgrade the phone more than once with this update!

Sounds like someone should be giving Sprint a call right about now.

Hahahaha....I'll pass.

Maybe if someone knows they are returning theirs for other issues.

But I can say that 2 users on PPC Geeks have bricked it. And a couple of others on other forums.
