Trust me, if it could be easily done, it would be. Pretty sure that's part of the bootloader, don't advise messing with that.
Ok that would make sence. I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292524 so I changed it to a custom logo and that'll work since I can't remove it

So, yes - I need to know how to brick my phone beyond repair please....
"Why !?" I hear you ask....
Imagine the situation: Some b*st*rd has stolen your phone . You are never going to see it again... ever... absolutely zero chance of getting it back...
If you had the option to brick it so no one could sell or use it, would you?
Yes, of course you would!!
It's possible to remotely execute any BusyBox/Terminal Command using the application Tasker and I want to know which one would do the most damage!?
Please let me know! "How do I totally brick my phone?"
load a corrupted radio file
ohhh, sorry to hear that. I had the perfect solution if you still had the phone. But um yea I don't take out my phone near any friends. My brother got his vibrant stolen only after 2 weeks.
Didn't mean to mislead! My phone hasn't actually been stolen! But I'm working on security profiles and need to know what the final command should be to end its life....
Can you flash a radio from the Terminal Emulator?

This is what I did and I actually got Verizon to give me a re-furb. What it does is bring you to the htc inc white screen then nothing else. Use root explorer go into systems/fonts and change the name on one of the droidsans.ttf files. I think I totally erased the files but changing them should cause the phone to be totally [email protected]#$. I hope this messes up your phone. Lol

Further to the above, does anyone know if it's possible to disable entering recovery by deleting certain system files?

Flash a stock recovery image to disable flashable recovery. Also renaming a file doesn't make the phone broken, it just doesn't allow it to boot.

Thanks - I need it to boot - just don't want someone else to be able to wipe and/or flash a custom ROM
I need to read up if there's a way to flash a recovery image from the Terminal...
hmmm...

To flash a recovery image from TE use this if your ROM supports it: flash_image recovery /sdcard/(name of recovery)
An example for me is: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img

That's brilliant thank you. Do you know if that can be reverted by flashing the custom recovery image again? Or will I lose the ability to do that once I flash back to stock?
Sorry for the questions, this stuff confuses me...

As long as you're on a custom ROM that supports flash_image you can flash a recovery image through TE.

Do you have the information to know whether it's truly been stolen yet? I'd make sure that it's really been stolen and you, for sure, wouldn't get it back before attempting something like this. I definitely wouldn't want to brick my own phone on purpose just to find out I forgot it somewhere...

See the link above Chris. My phone hasn't actually been stolen, but these commands will be a last resort feature of Sherlock Droid.
Agreed, it would be a nightmare to brick it and then find it under the sofa!

You shouldn't brick it quite the opposite, the thief should be able to keep using the phone as much as possible but in the mean time the gps should be secretly turned on and photos should be make so you can track the thief or if that fails publish his info and name and shame him

You are absolutely right godutch, that is the main aim of the profiles to keep booting into the OS at every opportunity, even using fake recovering images (as in a photo of the custom recovery screen) for the splash and boot animation that appear to be the device gathering system information - all the time it will actually be booting with the launcher, notification bar and lock screen etc disabled so not to give it away - once there the priority is to get a GPS fix
However, there will come a point when you've not heard a peep from the device in days and perhaps your insurance (if you have it) have already paid out... In which case, some users will want to execute the remote 'self destruct' command, to make sure the phone will never be usable to anyone else....
Edit: Trying to make the thief provide a valid gmail address and forwarding the new number if the SIM is changed are all in there too!
What if thief changes to SIM that has no data plan or does not enter any wifi area?

What did you have to do the image to make it make it work for the 3d? What dimensions, etc.?
I would like to make my own and I'm not sure where to start. TIA.

540x960 saved as splash1.bmp, then ran through nbimg-1.1win32 (cmd line nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w540 -h960) then zipped up with the android info txt( you can rip it out of the one above) in normal and named PC86IMG(has to be just like that in caps)
Do you have to flash these or can you treat them as a boot animation (ie: put in system/customize/resources/ named" hTC_bootanimation.zip" The stock one looks just like a regular boot animation. Thanks in advance

no you dont flash them.
you put the PC86IMG.zip on your sdcard(name just like that remove anything other than PC86IMG and make sure there is only one with that name on sdcard) and boot into bootloader let the system find the file and then it will ask if you want to update press yes(volume up) and then it ask to reboot again press yes
Finally found one I liked (since it's obvious I wont be able to make mine until at least Monday..sigh). Renamed to PG86IMG.zip...sat it on the SD card root with no other zips around it...booted hboot...said yes...power to reboot...and I enjoyed.

Ah ok, can you set up ADB, because it's needed to get access to your root folder.
Afterwards, you need to download this file, it's the firmware for your device https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4AdByfaH4T0WWJEQlNjeHg4bzg/edit
If you have setup your adb and it's running, extract the firmware on your desktop and go to the path "simcom77_twn_cu_ics2-ota-I968.I968.02.05.G.A-V1.0.1B04P85.zip\system\media" without quotes, and copy all the files (via adb) in your phone's /system/media/ and before doing that delete the previous files that are corrupted. After that your phone will be fixed!

Did you make a Nandroid Backup when you first Rooted the Device ? If so, Boot into Recovery. Then restore your Nandroid. If not then you can either Flash a Custom Rom, or the Stock Rom Rooted. Either should resolve your issues.

Its called a "boot logo" mate. I don't think its possible to delete it. But you can change it. Check this thread or this app out. Remember to make a backup always before you start messing with stuff. :good:

I was wondering if anyone knew how to that could point me to a tutorial or could make one for me? Would be more simpler if they just used a ZIP file like other phones.. let me know if you want to try to convert a zip I have for the boot animation i'm wanting.
You could always change bootanimation.bin to get support for bootanimation.zip instead.
