welcome to the age of delusional self entitlement and instant gratification!

no offense you don't DESERVE anything. The warranty for repairs done through sprint is 30days. after 30 days you are on your own it is a pretty common thing for repair services not only for phones but for just about anything. why is it like this? because if the repaired device works for at least 30 days then there is a very small if any chance it was installed incorrectly or that the hardware was defective at the time on install.

everyone seems to think they DESERVE everything and deserve it right now. if any company or person doesnt give it to them then they throw a fit. sadly you dont deserve anything except what is written in the warranty as this is what they commit to you when you agree to pay for the repair.
[EVO 4G General] bigfudge:
Insurance of any sort isnt supposed to be winning proposition, it's there in case you need it, mainly as a convenience.

Sprint only really started honoring manufacture warranty about a year ago and has since stopped. Some carriers may handle it differently... those same carriers are also charging you $20-$50 more a month for less services, so factor that in.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
True
[EVO 4G General] potna:
I see the ops main point. He paid to have his phone restored to original factory spec, or at least that's what the under going procedure pretends to do untill you have a problem with the repair.

They replaced the obvious bad part but skipped out on a part that was also damaged, going bad or didn't get something back together correctly. The lcd and what used to be called the digitizer used to be seperate don't know the case now days. But these parts are either the same part or they are closely intertwined.

Their repair work should be equal to factory build quality and his warranty on his screen shouldn't be lessened because one of their certified techs made a repair that he paid for. Do they tell you about the change of warranty in their favor at the time of the arrangement of repair? Doubt it, and if they do, what does this say about THEIR confidence in THEIR own repairs?

Imagine buying a new car, imagine punching and cracking the windshield. There is a warranty on this glass, but not from abuse, let's pay them to replace the glass, and a few weeks later we notice that it isn't installed correctly, in fact, it leaks water. Shouldn't the original warranty kick back in. The fact that he punched the window should no bearing on the warranty at this point.

If he took it somewhere other than Sprint to get his issues fixed I could understand the warranty being altered if honored at all, but they diagnosed and recemened a solution that was inadequate.

I would fight that one.

Or does dropping the phone and breaking the lcd just all out void your warranty? I guess I could see that approach. But uh should tell you that you are now completely good of warranty and you can take your phone and have anyone including your self fix these types of issues and do a better job cheaper too.
[EVO 4G General] notasimpleway:
Not having insurance is kinda dumb. The phone is yours, not Sprint's. I do agree they should correct this issue since you had paid them to fix this problem before. Too many people want hand outs lately. If you buy a new car and don't get insurance and then wreck it, why should the dealer pay to replace or repair it? They shouldn't. It was your car. Same goes for your phone.

[EVO 4G General] potna:
But if you pay the dealer to fix the wrecked car do you loose ANY of your warranty?

I'm a small business owner and I know all to well about everyone wanting handouts. Police departments, courthouse, lawyers and every church in town thinks that everyone should

Work for free except for them.

Even knowing all this crap about the average Joe and average Joe entity, legitimate business still need to find a way to operate fairly with all cards on the table.
[EVO 4G General] notasimpleway:
I won't disagree with that.

[EVO 4G General] jjvcuyler:
My contract with Sprint says they will perform all warranty repairs for free. There is no mention of a 30 day limit. Are you sure about the 30 day thing?
[EVO 4G General] Joshr:
I had about the same problem. If you search 'digitizer' my post should come up along with a couple others. My right edge of the screen wasn't working at all. I sent it in and it took 6 days from the day I sent it in until it was back in my hands, fixed. When i spoke with the HTC rep the first time I told him about my hairline power button crack and how its a common issue and not from me dropping it. He proceeded to then tell me "ohhh well since it has a crack in it the damage might be due to that and therefore not covered under the warranty" I got aggravated and told him the crack has NOTHING to do with it, I tried to remain calm and courteous and explained the crack situation thoroughly and that I would be pretty upset if I had to pay the $130 out of warranty fee. In the end they didn't charge me a thing. If you do send it in and it IS out of warranty they charge you a triage fee of I think $30, for looking at it, and any repair fees after that if you choose to have it repaired.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
so, i am curious, what panned out?
[EVO 4G General] Joshr:
got it back 6 days later, screen replaced along with the shiny black strip around the edge. no charge.
[EVO 4G General] HelgesenJ:
But the warranty isn't lost, HTC coverage is still in place. Sprint just isn't going to be doing anything for no cost. Sprint did warranty the work done for 30 days, which is stated on all of the service receipts. If something wasn't working the phone should have been brought back tot he store within that time frame.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ciolansteen:
Few days ago, a lil' goddam' birdy started to tickle my feelings repeating over and over again "reflash your stupid phone!!!"... So that's what I did.

Unfortunately it seems that I picked up the only one bad combination out there. A 2.1 Rogers over CM6. That's how I end up starring at my new HTC-magic shaped-brick showin' a sweet, white, batery hunger display on wich was written smth like 1.76.0010 S-ON boot and 3.22.20.17 Radio. It was like I could see a lower phrase of smth like "you are so screwed!!! :D".

Anyway...

1st I used Magic_Rogers_3.54.631.3 again wich started to upload files on my phone but in the end it returned a bad signatures error. The same thing hapened when i tried to flash over fastboot.

Then I downloaded the official default ROM for my phone (TIM 32A). Wich obviously din't work since older versions of RUU updater were using adb to connect with the phone, and that's how I was stuck in RUU bootloader without any recovery or anything.

However. Since Rogers application was able to upload on the device, but the files couldn't be written because of the perfected SPL, it was clear that is using fastboot instead of adb for this, so I thought would be a good ideea, to flash via fastboot the orginal files wich could contain phone's signatures. Evrika!!! It WORKED!!! my brick is now a fully functional 32A Magic!

For this, you might want to download your default official software from HTC website using phone's serial number or from here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=659403 (since I'm kinnda' new I cannot post links :( )

Starting the RUU aplication, (no need for the phone to be plugged, we are only stealing some files right now:P) generates 2 temporary folders wich you can find here:

Vista / Win7 - %Root%\Users\%currentuser%\AppData\Local\Temp

WinXP - %Root%\Documents and Settings\%currentuser%\Local Settings\Temp\

Go to this location and search for the folder wich contains rom.zip (clean your temp folders before extracting... you don't wanna search for a file a whole day - especially if you started some RUU aplications before this one). This is the file you need. Unzip this file and fastboot flash your files from here.

Another method is to download the attached archive wich contains the RUU aplication from Rogers 2.1, unzip it and put the rom.zip in its folder then start it to flash your phone.

Hope this helped you, you allready know the disclaimer ****... "I'm not responsible for any damage you might do to your phone, bla bla"

Sorry for posting this into development section. If a moderator can move it to general it would be nice :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
You know what... this can actually be considered Development... sorta. It's productive enough to be. Certainly informative enough for inexperienced users. Although nothing was actually developed it's kind of in between.

Here's what I'll do, I'll move it to General but with a 90 day re-direct so it'll be in both for three months. Afterwards it'll be defaulted to General only. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] draket:
Many Thanks!

My phone has been softbricked for almost a week before I came across this. I couldn't extract the rom.zip so I downloaded your archive and copied the rom over and it worked. Thank you!

Just a note to anyone else, I have a Rogers Magic and I used the rom generated by the RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_2.17.631.2_release_signed_NoDriver.exe. My phone did hand up when it tried to update the radio. The phone screen went to a dark blue and the progress bar stopped rising after about 5 minutes. I unplugged the phone, rebooted it and plugged it back in, the RUU attempted the update a second time and succeeded.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ishanISCOOOL:
Hey my cust id is 038 Airtel India for which only 1 rom is available 3.05.720.3 India

When I try to extract using this I get 2 files rom.zip and rom1.zip and if i copy both of them and do as you stated above it gives 140 bootloader version older error and if i run the 2.53.. roms not for my cid I get cust id error despite having a goldcard

Please help
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ciolansteen:
Try using only rom.zip. I'm downloading your rom right now and I'll try to see what's happening
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ishanISCOOOL:
Thanks for the fast replt. Ya tried that gives main version older error :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
This is the original ROM for my device any idea?

http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&cat=2&dl_id=759

What RUU did you used to flash yours?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ciolansteen:
Ok, try this. Extract Rom1.zip to a folder. Open rom.zip and extract ONLY radio.img and hboot_7200A_1.76.0009_091208 to the same place where you extracted rom1.zip (EG - Rom1 folder). Now delete both archives, and make a zip archive containing the files from Rom1 folder (files only without the folder itself). Name this archive rom.zip, put it into your RUUapp downloaded from here (before that, don't forget to delete rom1.zip + rom.zip from there), and try flash it like that. If this does not work, try to extract boot_special.img as well and repeat the procedure. But i think this boot special file is responsible for your error since i don't find it on any other package. I don't know if HTC zip files have special atributes or they are pure zip files. Maybe some one could tell us about this.

@andreas - Who are you asking? I used TIM official RUU since I have a TIM 32A. Try using the exact rom from your phone brander.

Cheers!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ishanISCOOOL:
Tried both of the above, both give signature error (error coder 132)

Regards
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
Hi,

I was asking you if you have any ideea or you know something about the ASIA version of HTC Magic and I've asked you about your rom becuse I'm thinking to try a goild card with it knowing that worked for you.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ishanISCOOOL:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sapphire/RUU_Sapphire_TIM_IT_2.15.901.4_release_signed_NoDriver.exe

If that is the rom, it gives customer id error despite gold card.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ciolansteen:
That's the rom allright. I'll upload it later and post the address here.

If both methods give you sig error try using EU zip.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ishanISCOOOL:
Hey what is EU zip :o where can I find it? :confused:

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ciolansteen:
EU stands for European. What i meant is that you should try other official roms as well. Do youown a 32A or 32B device?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
Also tried with your ROM from TIM on a gold card and gives me invalid bootloader version
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ciolansteen:
Put your log here, phone version and default brand
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ishanISCOOOL:
Its 32A, Ya have tried european roms, main version / bootloader version older error after i fixed my goldcard :( please upload your folder :)

Everything gives error code 140 bootloader error, Please give the detailed steps

Regards
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
Same thing for me. I get invalid bootloader version from RUU and invalid signature from fastboot no matter which ROM I try to install

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ciolansteen:

Hey how did you avoid hboot version check :) please tell us the steps you followed in detail.. For me it always gives bootloader error code 140 on computer screen and Main version older in phone even with the rom you uploaded :(

and there is a chip with a cross at the bottom
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
In this case you should be able to flash the original rom from HTC, but be aware to take teh exact rom for your device. I had in the same situation and I could recover it with ASIAN rom after a lot of tries with european (I didn't know mine is asian). SO, please go there and be sure you get the rom for you. Or, if you know your device region you can try the RUU from here:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sapphire/

Or you can try them all and maybe one will help you. I've tried everything in your case and didn't worked. Stupid me, when I've run in recovery I think I've bricked mine flashing radio from there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ishanISCOOOL:
Ya tried most of them, all of them give bootloader version error, code 140. you should try to boot hero 1.62 recovery if you want radio 6.35 and flash hboot 1.76.2007 and then any rom, if still possible.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
y, thanks, I can not get into fastoboot or nothing.... Seems the radio was not written
