Program to brick phone?

[swoodrell]

I have got stuck in the olipro 1.2 thing and tried everything in the world to no avail. I want to just go collect my insurance and say my phone won't come back on but I don't want them to get in bootloader and see I have been screwing with it. I have done everything your NOT supposed to do to brick this thing I can still run bootloader. Is there a program that will keep it from coming back on anywhere out there or does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

There is a way, to do just that. Install the the latest sprint rom, then install olipro 1.2 and that'll definitely brick ya phone, well technically it will only brick it for a gps radio. It will make your phone say no radio, I would highly advise you to back up all contacts and data though. U will not be able to access anything past the splash screen and your phone will not boot. U can take it in to a sprint store, they won't be able to load the official rom back onto your phone because it's not compatible with that version of olipro. Good Luck!

maybe you're stuck cuz you're using the wrong bootloader. if your rom is gps enabled, you need 2.40

yeah listen to toinejuan...lol. cuz u will basically downgrade the bootloader and then run one of the latest custom roms..that'll mess things up

I have followed everything to get out of bootloader with no progress lol. I mean like step by step to the tee and slight variations it is pretty hopeless. I have even went back and forth between 3.56 and 2.17 with olipro 1.2 installed and I can't even get this thing to brick it just gets stuck at the splash screen or the windows mobile screen. I was just worried that if I bring it into sprint and they see that olipro 1.20 is the bootloader they will not replace it for me.

unfortunately all you have to do to fix that is install a radio via the microSD...personal experience...twice. The first time was an accident, the second was curiosity. Oh, and my Mogul still works.

Someone suggested locking and flashing a stock ROM and pulling the plug before it completes.

I may be missing something...why do you want to get rid if the phone? Is it because of the olipro problem, or is there another reason?

I'm not trying to be nosy, but I think you can fix the olipro problems if you want to.

I'm confused... doesn't insurance cover everything? I mean, it covers loss, theft, and damage. If it covers damage, why wouldn't it cover firmware damage?
