brick?

I used the wrong hard-spl, TP2 won't turn on or respond or anything, no bootloader. Anything I can do?

Of course I don't have TEP or warranty or anything since I got it NIB off craigslist for $290...

ugh.

did you try to hard reset it with the phone powered off? still no response?

1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see the message appear on the screen.
2. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

Well good luck going to sprint usually they are jerks and won't help you or they will help you and charge you for it. Your best bet maybe going through HTC themselves. As far as the brick, you currently have a $290 paper weight or door stopper. But you can also use it as a Sprint Crime Deterrent device.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4O4f6FKYyc

Again good luck

sorry man, didnt mean anything by it. id still try and take it into a sprint store and see what they say, you may get lucky, worth giving a shot. it should still be under manufaturer's warranty also.
