Re: Don't take a rooted hero to sprint store.

I have taken in unlocked and flashed TP's, Diamonds, even a Treo Pro....Yet to have any Android issues (knock on wood)....But I think I could get by with it. I am just slick like that

I have also taken in flashed vogues, moguls, TPs, and TP2s, they never have cared before, but I have never talked to this guy before. Usually they are just curious about the overall bada$$ness of my phone, they just wanna know what ROM and where I got it, not because it matters but because they are genuinely curious.

Re: Don't take a rooted hero to sprint store.

You should have known better and broken the volume button before entering the sprint store duh...

Well if another store won't take it here is what you do...go to another store yet again..if he says its do not replace cause it is rooted..tell them that you had an issue and he was trying to fix it and then tech told you hes gonna try to root it and see if that solved the issue...then went to the back and came back and said to come back tomorrow to get it replaced and when you came back he didn't want to take it so you came to a different store..muwahahaha

Well, i'm pretty sure Sprint would assume that their employees arent trying to fix things by going directly against the terms of service and voiding warranties. Then you'd probably be flagged for fraud. Or Freud. either way you look like a weiner, or at least something that represents one.

Re: Don't take a rooted hero to sprint store.

I was going to suggest as someone did already and play ignorant to the fact that the phone is rooted, tell the next person you have no idea what rooting means nor do you want to know. This is an obvious defect in the phone, I'm guessing you've tried different cables and such, have you tried formatting your sdcard and then trying it again? I don't know if that will make a difference or not, might be worth a shot.

Maybe you should contact HTC directly and let them know of the issue about the device, doesn't it come with a 1 year manufacturers warranty?

Your TP2 was soft reseting or hard reseting? if it was soft reseting I had same thing on every rom...all I had to do was install the USC radio and it never reset again ..(sprint radio is a bit faulty for some people)
