You state something as a fact with no evidence. The burden of proof is on you.

Look, my view is that you've had time to make over 10 posts per day for half a year, but you can't take a little time to actually back up what you say?

OK, you ask for 2 things. I'll give you 1 of them, twice, and leave the other to you.

Here are the directions to finding the MyTouch 4G warranty:

1) Go to the T-Mobile website.

2) Point at Support and select Phones and Devices from the submenu.

3) Click the "Device Warranties" on the left hand side, under Quick Links

4) Click HTC

Was that hard? No.

Alternate directions:

1) Go to the T-Mobile website

2) type "warranty" into the search box and hit return

3) Click on the first link (Manufacturer's Device Warranties)

4) Click HTC

Extended bonus remix directions, suitable for non-US countries/regions, too:

1) Go to google.com (or lmgtfy.com) and enter "htc warranty"

2) Click on the first link (HTC - Support - Warranty Statement)

3) Click on the link for your country or region

I did what you should have done, twice^Hthrice. YOU need to answer this. You should be able to come up with a pithy one liner at minimum.

I thought about adding that to my earlier post, too! Consider it added to this one (now that I've de-snarkified the first draft).

Hijacking threads is fun, isn't it? :-)
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
lol, fine. From the T-mobile terms and conditions booklet included with the device.

Found under section 17 - Misuse of Service or Device. Pg. 14.

Pretty sure that includes rooting.

Furthermore, the warranty specifically states that all devices are sold AS-IS, faults included. This means that according to the letter of the T-mobile service agreement, they have a right to deny warranty for pretty much any reason they feel like, at your discretion.

Now I do agree that T-mobile is very cool and lenient with their policies, but my original point is that they are under no legal obligation of any kind to warranty a rooted phone.

Hopefully that makes more sense.

Again, I'm enjoying this debate and am glad we're on the same page as far as no ill will intended. If between the two of us we can find written confirmation that rooted phones are covered, I will be ****ing ecstatic!!

At least until they change the terms and conditions without notice, as is their right. :p
[myTouch 4G General] Daguse:
wow guys.... its not really a big deal. In the end everything is working and to be on the safe side, I just called t-mobile to confirm the device is still under warranty.

If you have any fear of an issue then make sure to nadroid back and unroot.

Never knew such a small comment would be such a big deal. LOL
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
So you told them you're rooted and they said you're still under warranty? Or you didn't mention it on this call and just randomly asked?
[myTouch 4G General] Daguse:
I just said I had some problems and went into the store and got a new sim. Told them that it did not fix it and I wanted to see if I could still use the warrenty via an xbm. She looked up the account, said she saw where I had gone to the store and said I could still warrenty the phone...

I did it more to see if the guy noted the account or anything. I would not tell them or send in a rooted device and I would in no way suggeste going to a store and expect them to work on a rooted phone.
[myTouch 4G General] excarnate:
Why? You don't quote enough, just a title. Are you some sort of weird troll? If not, you are either

a) Making things up

b) Dreadfully sloppy

Those 2 things are indistinguishable. Until you support your assertions you are wasting everyone's time.

No it doesn't.

OK, I can see I'm wasting my time. Where do you get that T-Mobile is warrantying the device? It says "HTC warrants" right at the top of the "LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT".

You seem nice enough, but your thinking is too sloppy. I'm done.

It isn't a debate. I was trying to correct you and so help other people.

Everyone. Don't listen to Phateless. Don't listen to me. Read the warranty yourself.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I agree with this.

I've always been told by T-mobile that rooting voids warranty. If you found a loophole I was hoping you'd show it to me. Obviously we'll interpret the same text differently which is why I asked you to post it.

I have nothing to prove. I briefly looked over both the warranty booklet and pdf online and found nothing that led to me believe rooted phones are still under warranty and a couple of sections leading me to believe they are not.

Until I find proof that what you say is true I will continue to err on the side of caution and advise my friends to do the same.

Cheers. Thread-jack over.
[myTouch 4G General] Infinite76:
The reason is the most ROMs and stock do not accurately display type of network you are on. There are times you are on 4G and technically you are not. A lot of Devs have fixed this though. So I would take what you phone says as gospel.

I am new to android so please excuse me if this is common knowledge. I was wondering about backup apps. I heard about titanium and nandroid. I was wondering which one is the best or if there are any others out that might be worth a look. What does Google or Sense 2.0 automatically back up?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tehgeekguy:
Nandroid typically backs up your entire system as it is. Meaning settings, apps, themes, kernel, etc... whereas Titanium Backup will backup data. It's always good to have a working nandroid backup, in case you find yourself flashing a bad rom/kernel or otherwise getting into a bad state, you can always roll back to your nandroid backup.

Titanium Backup is really handy for backing up your apps and their data (saved games, etc...). I've heard MyBackup is good too, but haven't tried it yet.

I'm not sure what all Google backs up, but from what I've seen (and this is just a quick 'off the top of my head' list) it has settings (wifi information, wallpaper, homescreen setup), contacts in your google account and apps from the marketplace. I'm sure it backs up more, that's just all I can think of at the moment.

As for Sense... I'm not sure. This is my first official Sense device, but I noticed some old SMS messages come up out of nowhere. I'm sure doing some googling will give you the info you want though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigcrav:
Thanks man. Very helpful.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
When my apps from my captivate magically appeared on my Inspire after signing in to google I was impressed, and quite glad I always turn on wifi when setting up a phone. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] matt_b:
i've always preferred appmanager over titanium backup.

recently though, with an updated version of appinstaller (by gregory house), they implimented a backup option which i've stuck with. appinstaller is the most lightweight, reliable app installing/uninstalling/backup program i've come across.

I run CM7 nightlies on my Tmobile N1. Recently I killed my cable Internet/TV connection at home and have been using the built in WiFi tether for my home devices.

While it typically works great (for free), the data on my N1 will lock up. I have full 3G/HSDPA at my house. Using #*#*4636*#*# it states I am connected but fails to ping or load up any data on the phone or through its shared connection.

The only way to fix the problem is to toggle airplane mode and re-enable the WiFi Tether or sometimes a reset is required.

I've changed to several Gingerbread roms, flashed various radios, and even exchanged SIM cards.

Is this behavior normal or not? For regular web surfing I can live with it, but the main problem is that I cannot download anything without it getting interrupted (like updated nightlies or 50mb+ files).

No one has any problems with their WiFi sharing?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimmjaw:
i used my phones internet as my regular home internet for a month. i used up about 25 gigs. i streamed videos, downloaded videos and podcasts with no interruptions. don't know what your problem could be. i was using cyan 6.1.1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
I occasionally have experienced that issue, but it seems as if you have it much more frequently than I ever did. I would mainly get it when I tethered from areas with bad reception.

You state that you have full 3G/HSPA at your house. I am wondering how many bars of reception you happen to have. Also, try setting your phone to WCDMA Only in that 4636 menu. That seemed to decrease the frequency at which it happened for me.

I also found that once in a while, I could get tethered data working again by simply using the phone's native web browser to access any data. Good luck with the issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I typically have full bars of signal usually reading around -100dbm. When the internet drops, it drops completely; maps, browser, apps, etc all fail and I can't "jump start" it other then toggling airplane mode or resetting the phone. Typically a reset is best.

Perhaps I'll flash back to CM 6.1 and test it over the weekend. I'll do a backup of my current setup if things aren't fixed.

The purpose of this thread was simply to see if others have experienced the same issues and if it was worth "trying" to fix.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It might be a case of overheating device - it'll be good to test different ROMs and kernels.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I don't think the device is over heating at all rather then just a carrier issue. I flashed to CM 6.1.1 over the weekend and immediately found I was still having data issues (where it would work for like 5 minutes then drop out).

I did find that EDGE was a solid connection and stayed connected while I downloaded CM7 and GAPPS. I put a call into Tmobile and yacked at them for several hours. They escalated it up several times in their engineering department and so we'll see. I spoke to HTC a few times in there and they didn't think it was a handset problem either.

I guess we can close this thread as it doesn't seem to be a wide spread problem. I am running a stable version of CM7 now and we'll see.

@above: I have tested different radios, roms, and kernels. This thread started out as a issue with WiFi Tethering but ended up being the phone simply dropping its data connection. I originally was curious if this wifi sharing behavior was normal or not.

Hi guys!

I'm about to buy a Nexus One on Ebay but I have a short question to you guys :)

Since the seller has unlocked the bootloader to install custom ROMs, he restored the phone's recovery and OS to stock Google's stuff.

My question is: when Google will release 2.3 ( Gingerbread ) OTA update, is my phone going to get it like anyone else if my bootloader is unlocked?

I would really appreciate your help guys!

Thanks a lot!

mytey0
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Unlocked bootloader will not effect the phones ability to receive and install OTAs.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mytey0:
Are you sure my friend? I really want to be sure about receiving official OTA updates :)

Also, is it possible to lock the bootloader like if it was a brand new phone?

Thanks again guys!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I'm 100% certain.

My bootloader has been unlocked for quite a while, and yet recently I returned to an older stock image and received an OTA update as soon as I rebooted...

The bootloader cannot be re-locked, unless you have one of the very few "holiday" versions of the phone...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mytey0:
So when 2.3 Gingerbread will be released as an OTA update, my Nexus One will get it at the same time?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
If everything else is stock, yes, you'll be fine. If you do have any problems, you can always come back and deal with them then...

May as well enjoy your phone, and perhaps read some more of the forum while you're waiting for the update?

Welcome aboard! xD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbullcat:
There are people working on relocking the bootloader, but it's likely going to take a while to achieve :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
yes your phone will get the official update just fine. but i promise you, bet 100 bucks that with that unlocked bootloader, you will download the next update on your own long before google officially pushes it to your phone. you wont be able to wait. unlocked bootloader is the way to go...

HTC Desire USB Bricked Without Root

​

Hey guys, got a really tricky one for you here...:eek:

Some people may have seen a thread I posted the other day about problems that had arisen with my HTC Desire, well I have managed to find out that these problems are being caused by a USB Brick.

As of now I have managed to restore

SD Functions

however my phone will still not connect to the computer, and the phone won't recieve a network signal from Orange.

I read through this tutorial here and also this one here. My problem is, all the requirements of the fix, my device does not meet. My phone is not rooted, it is running the latest software and has the latest HBoot.

I also found this that looked very promising, however when I tried to log into my Google account on my phone, everytime it said it couldn't make a connection, I left it for a few hours and the same thing, I can't help but think this is due to the USB brick?

I just really need some help, is there anything I can do to restore USB functionality? The phone is being sent to HTC tomorrow, however I can cancel at any point. Please, I know there are so many amazing people on XDA that can help me. Thankyou :cool:

*UPDATE* - After using the Fastboot code to enable the SD Card, my Sim Card is now working. I have been able to log into my G-Mail account and download the terminal emulator which is an apparent fix in one of the posts I linked above, however this doesn't work. Please can someone help me :(

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leinad:
Hi.

If I understand well, you have got an USB brick, and your current situation is the following :

No S-OFF hboot, no ROOTED ROM, but SDCard reenabled, thanks to "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" command in fastboot mode.

I'll try to drive you through the whole process for getting your phone back, since I've already encoutered this situation, and successfully solved it.

First step => Get a 'mtd0.img' file :

Go to "Menu>Settings>About phone>Software information>Kernel version", and write down your ROM version (2.6.32.15, for example)

Then, in fastboot mode, with USB cable connected to your PC, issue the following command

fastboot getvar cid

You should see your phone's CID, something like 'HTC__022'.

You then go to this site, provide both information 'cid' and 'rom version', and you'll get a 'mtd0.img' file.

Let me know when you've gone through this first step :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HQRaja:
Hi,

I am very much interested in knowing about the complete procedure. Assuming we have done this first step, how to proceed from here?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leinad:
Next step will aim at flashing this 'mtd0.img' file onto the 'misc' partition.

Since we are S-ON, and the ROM is not rooted, we'll have to get temp root access. To do so, follow the steps below.

1.- Download the two files rageagainstthecage.tgz and flash_image, extract rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin, and copy rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin, flash_image, and the file mtdo.img at the root of your SD using any SD card adapter.

2.-Install 'Terminal Emulator' (free app on the Android Market) on your phone

3.- Issue the following commands from Terminal Emulator

cat /sdcard/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/flash_image
cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/mtd0.img
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/
chmod 755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin flash_image

This will copy all three files to the right directory on your phone, and give exec rights to the files.

4.- Then run the program rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin from the Terminal Emulator

/data/data/jackpal.androidterm/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

in order to get temp root access. Be aware that the phone will have some kind of erratic behavior, and will seem to crash.

5.- Quit Terminal Emulator, stop it (Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage applications>Terminal Emulator>Force stop), and relaunch it. You should see a pretty # character, indicating you've got temp root access.

6.- You then issue the following commands, in order to flash the misc partition of your phone with the correct mtd0.img file

cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/
./flash_image misc mtd0.img

7.- Reboot your phone, and enjoy !!!

In order for rageagainstthecage to find adb process, you should tick 'USB debugging' in "Menu>Settings>Applications>Development>" :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
I was in the same boat as you, all I can say is you do need USB Debugging enabled? So maybe if you don't have that running it won't work? And I mean enabled whilst you are actually running the terminal.

Rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin is the file that gives you temporary root, so that's your problem if you were unable to get root. If you know some way around it, then your sorted mate.
