Bricked

#1 (**permalink**) 06-15-2009, 04:09 PM

Well my TP isn't really bricked. But I can't access the internet with it anymore.

I went from Silence 6.5 to Meridian to Silence 6.5 again and I lost my ability to get data. I tried the data solution found in the forums, but still a no go. Sprint couldn't fix it of course.

Not sure what happened, but I get a new phone w/o any hassel from Sprint.

You Messed Up Your Phone Yourself And Expect A New One? What Is Wrong With You?!!!!! You Ruined Your Own Phone With A Non Oem Rom And Then Call And Talk To Sprint About It. If You Had Told Them That You Put A Non Oem Rom On It, They Would Not Replace It!! It Is Because Of People Like You, That Our Insurance Premiums Go Up All The Time!!

I always found it so odd that tablet PCs capitalize every first letter.

Anyway I agree with zepsamsung. If you didn't at least try to restore your phone to stock before you went for a replacement, don't be surprised if people here will be kind of upset.

"Not sure what happened, but I get a new phone w/o any hassel from Sprint"

SO you told Sprint something other than what you did and now they send a free replacement for damage you caused?

Switched to keyboard now, no caps, lol. Here's my problem with the poster. He states that he will get a new one with no hassle from Sprint. Did he tell Sprint what rom that he put on his phone? Did he try to flash back to oem to see if that fixes the issue? Sounds like another bricked phone damaged by a non oem rom being replaced by Sprint which as I said, drives up the cost for all of us who have phone problems that we did not cause.
