Try This

I am not sure if this is posted in the right area, but since we have this started. It is not necessary to have an active since connection. All you need to do to re-install the original t-mobile rom is turn on the phone and hold down the volume down button (right after you hit the power button to turn on phone hold down the volume button). You will then see the tri-color screen and will be able to flash the old rom back on. Just make sure you have at least 50% battery.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shilent:
There are some text that I keep receiving over and over again, right now it seems to happening every 5-6 minutes. I tried rebooting and same result. The phone is 6 weeks old and this just started happening 2 days ago. Rooted running nfinites .7 ROM. The only thing I can think of is wiping everything and reinstalling the ROM, which I'd rather not do.

Anyone had the same problem?
[G2 and Desire Z General] c_licious:
I'm having some problems with my phone and customer care told me to just switch it out through the buyers remorse policy at a T-mobile store. I know you have to erase all signs of having rooted the phone before sending it to HTC under the limited warranty or else they charge you. Do I also have to set it back to stock before returning it directly to T-mobile through buyers remorse?
[G2 and Desire Z General] v8pwrdz28:
Rooting the phone voids the warranty
[G2 and Desire Z General] mortzz:
I would just to make things easier. It's easy enough to do, why make more problems than you need?
[G2 and Desire Z General] c_licious:
I know it voids the warranty but what exactly does that mean in terms of consequences when I return the phone to T-mobile via buyers remorse given they take it back without noticing? It's actually the mytouch and we don't have the stock recovery for it yet and I already put a custom recovery on it so I can't get it back to stock (yet)

Thanks for the help
[G2 and Desire Z General] carlsbad0331:
I think the insurance may be handled differently, but when I had to return my G1 for an insurance replacement I didnt bother to un-root it.

I never heard anything about it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sv3nt3k:
My only guess is that they won't repair your phone and say, "Oh, you voided the warranty by rooting so we can't help you."

Or maybe they will and charge you for it. Not sure, but my guess is that they won't be much of help.
[G2 and Desire Z General] c_licious:
I was just gonna exchange it since I'm still in my buyers remorse without even bringing up the rooting.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BobbyHill:
Not that I recommend it or anything, but back in the G1 days my 2nd and 3rd replacements were rooted. One of them I undid, one I didn't. I never heard anything about it from T-Mobile.

When you send a phone back, they usually check to see that a) the screen isn't broken and b) the water damage stickers are ok. Beyond that, they don't do much besides toss them on a pile to be sent back to the manufacturer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hawaiian.monzta:
Why didn't you backup your stock rom through recovery before flashing a custom one? Would make everything a cinch

[G2 and Desire Z General] xzxxzx:
Root? What is this root you speak of? I assure you I have not attempted to water my phone.

[G2 and Desire Z General] c_licious:
It's not the rom but the recovery that I can't restore. It's all good though. I'm just gonna return it to the store with ClockworkMod recovery installed. They won't notice. I was just wondering how HTC will handle it once it gets shipped back to them but since the return wasn't processed through them it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the input guys!
[G2 and Desire Z General] elfysrfr:
If u got the insurance it doesn't matter. If not then u better go back to stock or they'll charge u for the phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] bluegizmo83:
I can't say for the G2, but when I had my Nexus One, I had it replaced through HTC under factory warrant and the bootloader was unlocked (which is suppose to void warrant). They never said anything about it and never charged me anything.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rodr4813:
Correct, they won't really care unless u bricked it. Otherwise it was faulty hardware or remorse. N if u bring it n have warranty, I'm not sure, but they probably replace it for a fee.
[G2 and Desire Z General] N31N:
Hi, i worked for a tmobile licensed retailer for a year and continue to have contacts within corporate locations as well as other licensees and the truth is as follows:

The employees don't care a whole lot to see if the software is rooted or not, more often than not, a fistful of people have heard of rooting but dont know exactly how to root or what it means, and a smaller fistful are people like myself.

If youre terribly worried, just put on the stock boot animation or flash it to stock (ish) rom. If its a brick, its a brick, just dont walk in announcing that its something you did; they should swap it out there and then with a minimum of questions asked. If they ask what happened, you dont know. We're only instructed to check the water damage stickers and warranty voiding screw stickers just to make sure its not user error, we were/are in no way trained to discern the software's integrity and are instructed to do little more than factory reset it. The end :)

I cant speak for the corporate locations but our exchanged phones would be sent at the end of each month to some tertiary company that refurbishes the phones. Even if HTC wanted to send agents with laptops out to check on all the HBOOTs and Roots, they would have to do it at a store level, or next up, the refurb centers; at which point these phones are out of your hands and theres not a whole lot they could possibly do to trace it back to you.

tl;dr

Do not worry, play it cool

PS:

And if they dont want to swap it out within your 14 days (30 if youre in CA), dial customer care right there and tell em youre at a store and they wont do the exchange; the CC rep will put his indignant face on and harass the rep at the store, making threats to file complaints and whatnot.

PPS:

I remember instances where the 1.6 OTA was bricking phones, and if i remember correctly an update just rolled out recently. ;)

(probably a soft brick that could have easily been resolved with some fastboot shenanigans, but i didnt care enough to install adb+fastboot on 3 computers)

[Windows Phone 7 General] mi7chy:
I'm not looking for knee jerk reaction to this video. This is a valid question from someone who's familiar with four corner testing which includes thermal testing. The correct behavior is to shut down once a temperature threshold is reached as seen with the Android and iOS devices. The WM7 device dangerously continues to operate beyond threshold.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
"Beware of family jewels if you're carrying WM7 phone in your front pants pocket."

"I'm not looking for knee jerk reaction"

then ask for a normal reaction , if you only post this video from an idiot burning 3 of the most expensive phones on a grill you can expect these reactions .

oh , and offcourse they do that all on a 10 bugs grill :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] mi7chy:
No need to get emotional. This is a silly stunt video indeed but there is something to gain from it since it might expose the lack of or malfunction of thermal shutdown protection in WM7. A lot of people including myself keep their phone in their front pants pocket. Why wouldn't they be concerned f thermal shutdown protection isn't working and knowing that lithium batteries can be unpredictable when exceeding normal operating temperature?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Lithium batteries explode because of impurities in the electrolyte (or whatever it's called there) causing short circuits. This is purely an internal condition, and no thermal shutdown protection will save your gonads if it happens. So relax and get a life really. :)

Wrong dear. This thread doesn't apply to you if you have no family jewels. ;)

http://computer.howstuffworks.com/dell-battery-fire.htm

"batteries could overheat, potentially causing burns, an explosion or a fire"

"If the battery gets hot through use or recharging, the pieces of metal can move around, much like grains of rice in a pot of water. If a piece of metal gets too close to the separator, it can puncture the separator and cause a short circuit. There are a few possible scenarios for what can go wrong in the case of a short circuit:

If it creates a spark, the flammable liquid can ignite, causing a fire.

If it causes the temperature inside the battery to rise rapidly, the battery can explode due to the increased pressure."

[Windows Phone 7 General] smuook:
Nice detective work there... you quoted a laptop battery article.

This has nothing to do with Windows Phone 7 and is mere sensationalism to create a non-fact base, non-realistic controversy.

Btw if you create a spark or rapidly rise the temperature on anything, it usually catches on fire or explodes. That applies to 99% of everything on this planet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XeNoMoRpH1030:
I'm not sure if it really matters. As someone mentioned, all three ended up going because they were continually exposed to the high temperature. Simply shutting the device down wouldn't prevent that in this scenario.

Lesson learned: don't grill your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
you have to look the other way around ( that was external heating , if that was the way you would be already dead before the phone explode )

the os has to shut down when it get internally hot ( like a software bug , overcharging the batt , or a gps + wifi making the phone go hot )

and that is there , when I turn on wifi and gps and I am charging the batt the phone will reboot after some time (it reboot because it is on charge )

edit: I only think it is a bug that the phone reboot after a shutdown by overheating.

edit: ps it is WP7 and not W

M

7
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
Amen to that brother!

No but really. The point is that the phone doesn't shut down if it would overheat on it's own. So, say that the phone by some reason should overheat to the point where there is a risk of the battery exploding.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Krissrock:
i think if you phone gets hot enough to need to shut down...it's over anyway. Shutting down automatically isn't gonna save anything. There will be no cases of burnt faces like with the iPhone
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:

[Windows Phone 7 General] mi7chy:
There are some who get it and the majority who don't. Unfortunately, the majority think that the HTC WP7 won while the HTC Android failed in the video. Or, that the added cost of thermal shutdown protection now built into phones is not there for a reason. Or, those that keep stating the obvious that lithium batteries burst when exposed to fire but fail to comprehend how the phone should've behave prior to reaching that critical point. These are probably the same people who will argue that a faulty smoke detector is of no consequence because houses seldom catch on fire or that you would know about it if it happened without a working smoke detector or that it would be too late even with a functional smoke detector. To each his own ballz. Let Darwin sort them out. :D
