Do I need to get another Touch Pro?!

[quebert]

ok so i bought the touch pro in early march. within the first 4 days i had to exchange it for a new one because the battery was bad (i know the stock rom blew with battery but it would die withing 30 minutes and all connections off) so the sprint store replaced it on the spot and i was cruising with a couple roms for 3 weeks no prob. a few days ago the screen started glitching and wouldnt want to turn on or off when i pressed the power button. then the screen would start shifting all over the place. i flashed to a few other roms and did a few hard resets to see if it would fix it and even the boot loader screen was jumbled. now today only the backlight goes on and i cant do anything on my phone! it wont even hard reset either! active sync isnt connecting either.

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

Ummm no, you need to stop flashing your phone and installing ROMs.

HAHA what kind of advice is that for a place like PPC.

I would say try the relocker and then reload a stock rom and bring it back to sprint...if I read your post right (I'm in class pretending to listen to a lecture .

im pretty sure the majority of people on this forum are running on custom roms my big question is is there anything i can do to get my phone back to normal without bringing it in for servicing.

Right, and 95% of the time they are the ones who run into problems with things not working and blame the phone when its the custom ROM that caused it. Not to mention if you brick the phone you void your warranty. Nice way to throw $300 in the toilet. I am just saying, dont blame your phone for problems I am 99% sure your custom ROM has caused.

really...haha. nowhere in my post did i say it was the phone's fault. in fact i did not say it was the ROMs fault either. but if you can not offer me some helpful advice like cd85233 has done then please do not tell me "Ummm no, you need to stop flashing your phone and installing ROMs." and if 95% of people are screwed up like me then why isnt this forum littered with problems like mine?

cd85233, that was my first instinct but i cant connect to active sync. i cant hard reset either for some odd reason. i even took the battery out for 3 hours (while i work) to see if maybe the screen would show for a minute and i could flash to stock and relock. any other ideas please??? maybe some magic button combo

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.

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?
