i was looking at an app off market which said to create partition for linux swap, fool me i just install it and did follow its instruction. and by the way i was using my phone fine for a while but then i reboot my phone and thats it, in never turned back on.
i tried every possible options to fix it, all the soft mod options including the jig, but so far no luck, any ideas?
If the jig doesn't work you're out of luck. Service centre job & hope they don't notice/care it's been messed with or maybe repair by 3rd party repairer if you end up having to pay for it.
i did took it to samsung repair, but they are saying that my phone is water damaged, while i never ever been near water with my phone, i told em use jtag and flash it, but they insist its water, i got around 5 month warranty left but this dam cnts, cant fix it
Take it to a local mobile repair shop if they refuse to fix it. That surprises me, I would have thought they would fix it if you pay for it. Which you should - water damage isn't covered by warranty (you can debate this with them till the cows come home, tends to be a waste of time), and a hardbrick caused by you isn't either. That certainly tends to be the experience on here (them repairing it at cost to you).

i had just purchased a Sprint Raphel from Ebay, keyboard issue (i was aware of this) i fixed it, however, in process of fixing it unknowingly till the issue arrived again i had mangled the LCD / Touchscreen and key's ZIF socket. the cable itself is fine and i tried to fix it, nevertheless, in the process i did more harm than good.
now, i'm not going to phenoky insurance claim it the damage is all my fault, but my question is this:
if i take it to a sprint repair center and say "i need this part" will they give it to me? or are they going to give the phone a good look through before they want to replace anything? has anyone went though out of warranty repairs? they want 120 bucks just to repair the thing, and if i can just get that PCB replaced which i could do myself without the 120 repair fee i would be ecstatic
i am going to go to a repair center after work, looks like i will be grabbing my titan at lunch in the meantime
First of all I admit that i have done stupid thing.
Before telling this I did HSPL to flash radio rom.
Yesterday I dropped my phone.
And from that time on vibration hadn't worked and booting phone by its own hardware buttons also,not working.
But I found booting only works by following method:
plug in charger while battery is out and then press as soon as battery is inserted again.
Now, what I committed to fix my vibrator was that i tried to disassemble and I got stuck at separating the housing with the screen one.
But I just adadoned to fix it and assembled it again.
After I booted my phone by that strange method above, the touch screen did not work.
So I pressed reset button at the back.
Now it is stuck at the first HTC logo screen. (think it is bricked?)
However It doens't show any information about R,G,D just the logo.
Many time till now the result is the same.
Now my question is...
My warranty is not over yet so I think I can get the new one.
However what interrupts my mind is that "what if they find out it is HSPL?"
But my opposing the question above is that can they see if I did HSPL or not since bootloader doesn't work, and proper powering on of the device doens't work either.
So what is you guys opinion will I be ok to get new one without being accused..?
My other concerns are that what if the boot loader suddenly works... and they find out!!?
And also what if they find out that i disassembled once.. cause the screws look touched..
lol while editting.. the phone got RGDs back although it seems it is rare,now it means there is chance for them to notice it..
You will find that your warranty does not cover accidental damage, so the shop you purchased it from probably will not replace it.
Unless you took out insurance at time of purchase that covers accidental damage.
Your best option, is to claim under your household contents insurance, but once again, check that mobile phones are covered, some policies do not, as it is an item you take out of house.
Thanks for your reply, I am really blured ,because i'm now on relatives house abroad..
Initially when i get back i will check..
unless you have insurance I cant see you being covered I hope you are though, any form of insurance with the HD2 is a must imo
HSPL + visible damage from the fall + disassembly evidence (there's a sticker on a screw that will be broken if you unscrew it, to show it's been opened) = definitely no warranty.
Even if there was any chance you could claim warranty, HSPL modification alone would void it. And unfortunately there is no way to revert unless you install a stock ROM from SD Card. I know it very well cause I just did it yesterday. Had to send mine to claim warranty as the touch screen failed...
So i did a bunch of searching and can't find anything so i'll ask here. The other day i got pushed into a pool with my One in my pocket, From what i can tell the processor's fried and i was wondering if i could get away with just going down to T-Mobile and asking them to switch it cuz it wont turn on and not bring up the water damage. Is there any way they'd be able to tell?
Ummm if your within your 30 days or 14 or whatever it is you could try just say it won't turn on... They have to replace in store if its within their time frame for in-store warranty .
As long as water doesnt pour out on counter you may have a chance ,since they can't do a battery pull how else will they know... Just act real let down say u paid a lot of money to be let down ...
Act but don't over act.
Normally sales people are clueless and don't care what's what , as long as your within the rules... time frame.
They aren't techs, so doubt theyll know .
If it doesn't turn on a dead cpu should pass as the issue only issue is if it's past the 30 ,then htc gets it for manufacture replacement and they on the other hand will know .

Throw it in a tub of uncooked rice overnight to absorb as much water as possible before bringing it in.
There is a papertrail with taking it back in your 14/30 day warranty. Eventually the device will get back to a service center and when they open the unit up and see the damage im sure the ticket with it will say warranty / no power. Any good tech will throw up the red flag and say the warranty is void with liquid damage.
So you do run the risk of having that come back to haunt you a month or two down the road.
I'm not sure if they'll find out down the road Dec possible but not guaranteed ,even if your past 14 you don't have to go thru HTC you still have tmobile warranty u dud a swap not for water but they'll ship a new one overnight then u mail yours back ,last yr I returned a rooted bricked note2 and never got charged

This is correct.
I work in the RMA department of a large phone repair/warranty center.
I doubt you will get T-Mobile rep to replace it for you in the first place (there are still ways to check for water damage without opening it up). Liquid indicators are inside the phone when you eject the SIM tray for example.
the phone on like usual , put aside.. when want to use take it and saw it in boot screen.., wait quite long still stuck there.. take off battery and put back in straight cant turn on.. any idea to revive it?
download/cwm mode both not working... tried press 3 together and insert battery also no respond.. charge no respond too... is it mobo dead symtom?
EDIT: Charge it will hot but no respond
Same advice as this thread (I.E try the things I suggested to that person); though in your case it's 99.999999% likely you're going to need a motherboard replacement if you intend to keep the phone.

i cant find usb jig over here...
the person sttill able to go downlad or cwm.. this phone unable to turn on.. tried jump start by holding 3 button and insert battery do not work..
can i know how long should i hold the 3 button? as the post say too many people release early..
if the mobo really spoilt, will it affect the internal memory? for example i sell it to faulty phone shop, do they able to recover? if not maybe sell it and get a new phone
1) You hold the buttons as long as you have to - if it hasn't booted into download mode having held the buttons for twenty seconds, it won't be ever.
2) You can order a jig on eBay; you don't have to find one 'over here'.
3) Nobody can access your internal memory (including you). It's probably dead anyway.
If you decide to keep the phone, you get a motherboard replacement. If you sell it as is, expect to get very little money for it (the only part useful to someone else will probably be the screen).

it will turn hot when i plug charger on it.. so it considered death too?
planning to sell it out but only concern people have chance revive it back and get data inside..
Correct. Heat at the back + no boot = one or more components on the motherboard have died. It is impossible to read the data off an EMMC in these situations
As I said in my PP, if you sell it, the only thing which be useful for whomever buys it is the screen, assuming they don't replace the motherboard & get the phone working again, and as the EMMC is on the motherboard, new board = new EMMC.
Nobody is going to access your data if you sell it (and even if they could, why would they ? You're paranoid/read too much of the hysteria the tech media push as 'journalism'); it's gone (and I'm not saying this again, twice is my limit).

credit card data etc.. the phone is my bro 1.. i just asking... yesterday he told be that he bring to phone shop for last time before purchase.. the phone repair people say IC dead,, replace cost less than 100.. but dont know which IC, data depend on which IC...
You can replace the entire motherboard for around the same price. We've seen a number of posts over the past 12 mths or so with this 'replace power IC' fix suggested, but nobody has posted after saying the repair was carried out successfully.
It involves replacing an individual component on the motherboard, these components are tiny, and Samsung service centres/almost all other repairers won't even attempt such a repair. If this repair is unsuccessful, you will end up having to pay for a motherboard replacement + the cost of the failed repair.
So if the plan is to keep the phone, insist on motherboard replacement. You can source a 2nd hand one online yourself & pay a mobile repair shop to do the replacement (and many mobile repair shops may even be able to source one for you), and as I said in my first para, this will cost you not a lot more than what you've been quoted for this dubious repair, but you will pretty much guarantee to fix the phone first time unless there's other components not working.
By all means choose the option you've been given (replacing the individual component), but be aware there's a fair chance it may not work, and if this is the case you'll end up with extra expense if you end up needing the motherboard replaced.
If it was me, I'd want it fixed right the first time.
Anyways, this is my last post to this thread. Nothing personal, but I've given you the options, up to you/your brother to decide what you want to do, no amount of further to-ing/fro-ing in this thread is going to change that.
So first I want to acknowledge - I know that when you put a modified ROM on your tablet you apparently void the warranty. So with that knowledge in mind, i'm hoping people might have some thoughts on this.
I had my tablet with the Sony repairer previously because the screen cracked without any apparent cause. Sony fixed it under warranty (after some arguing).
Shortly after I got it back from the repairer, I attempted to install Cyanogenmod on the tablet and something went wrong, couldn't get past fastboot mode, and eventually the battery ran out and wouldn't recharge - even after being plugged in at the wall for 48 hours.
The repairer is now saying that Sony shouldn't pay for the repair because I voided the warranty. They want me to pay $300 to replace the Printed Circuit Board.
I can't imagine how installing different software would damage the circuit board. I think the tablet was damaged by the repairer internally when they fixed the tablet the first time around.
Does anyone have thoughts on this?
I guess not...
Hard to say.
Sucks to have to fight.
Look around for threads about de-bricking. Often bricks are only "soft" and need a trick or 3 to recuperate.
