I'm 99% sure you can't prove your 95% statistic! Good luck with that anti custom rom campaign, it's bound to catch on here any day.


quebert- I brought my second to last dead Mogul to a Sprint repair center with it stuck in Nuespl bootloader. I couldn't relock and worried that they would reject the phone as altered. They didn't even look at the screen.

88.2345% of stats in the entire world are made up on the spot for dramatic effect.

I have had the screen issue were it won't turn off or on and here is a shocker, are you ready, I am running a stock sprint ROM. There I said it, I feel so much better now. A soft reset fixed mine, but it came back 2 weeks later. If it gets worse I am taking mine in.

I think that last post makes it 88.2351% of statistics. But I believe you. LMFAO! I'm not sure if I'm understanding properly, but does the screen come on at all? Do the hard keys work at all, specifially the center button? I know it's not easy to use navigating until you get the hang of it, but any buttons working would help.

On my phone it looks like it is in sleep mode, but it will not respond to touching the screen or to any button presses, only a soft rest.

I have nothing against custom ROMs, dont be stupid. What I do have an issue with is people flashing their phone, installing ROMs and then crying when it stops working right. Leave the phone as is if you arent willing to take the risk of it breaking.

Thanks for the insulting advice. In the future, should I strive to put more BS statistics and misinformation in my posts so I won't seem "stupid" to you?

so im at a loss here and after that huge story i would appreciate anyones input on what to do here. thanks very much guys

I had this same issue. My screen began to jumble and bounce around. I did a soft-reset, and the splash screens loaded in 3 places. After I let Winblows load completely, I did another soft-reset. After this, there was 0 display. There was power going to it (you could see the black screen illuminate), but there was no display at all. I could receive calls, so the phone wasn't "bricked". I took it in to a Sprint repair store, and walked out with a brand new one 20 minutes later.

I would just suggest taking it in. If there isn't a display anymore, they should just give you a new phone without any question.

yeah ok i think that's what im going to do (bring it back and let them see that only the backlight goes on). it's not bricked cause the hard keys still work and i can recieve calls too. and ya know what...when i get a new one...im going right back to flashing them sweet 'ol custom roms!
