brick?

[Iamdabobo]

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.

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

Why does sprint charge you for it? if the phone is less the a year and its sprint branded it should be under warranty. when telus customers here give or sell hand sets telus still honors the warranty and also provides free tech support to you in person or on the phone if your a customer. I would assume sprint does the same, no?

Sprint warranty is 1. not transferrable 2. only if you buy it from a sprint store 3. 30 days I think. There is a 1 year HTC warranty, but I did NOT want to go that route unless I had to, as reports from people who have show that HTC takes forever to fix phones and send them back.

However, I do have good news. So I go into the sprint store, tell them the story and whatnot, obviously omitting the hard-spl unlocking part. The guy is cranky but nice enough; he takes it in the back, comes back in 5 minutes and says 'you're in luck; the system has not updated yet and the previous owner is still listed, so the warranty is still valid. come back in an hour.' I come back in an hour, pick up a brand new TP2 for free, and I'm on my way.

**** yea.

Does this mean the previous owner is about to get popped for $100 on his bill for the phone switch???? DAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Couldn't be, it was NIB, never activated. I'm not sure what the rep was talking about, but I didn't really care, I pretty much just wanted out of there with my working phone. =]

So that I don't do this again, would somebody mind pointing me to the correct hard-spl unlocker for my sprint touch pro 2?

This post should have what you need:

Make sure you read everything and let it sink in for a few days before you do anything.

I believe you can also add TEP for any phone (I assume that's working....) or at least you used to be able to. I asked sprint about this a while ago when I was looking at buying a used phone and they said that you can add full TEP on any phone, but I assume you've gotta be able to show it's working on their system when you purchase it.
