Has there been many bricked phones recorded, like bad chips or is it random?

Nope. I havent heard of one brick.
Sent from my Senseless Doubleshot using xda premium
Me either - we've been fortunate.
I was in a verizon store the other day looking at upgrading my phone because I broke the screen, and it happened to be right after i'd reflashed to stock to test something.
I was talking to a rep about rooting and stuff, and went to show him how to remap a hardware key to something else. Realized I wasn't rooted, but had the superuser update on my sdcard. I just reflashed it and continued with what I was trying to show him.
Hah, he was like "wow, that easy, huh? it took you like 20 seconds...aren't you worried about bricking your phone?"
I explained how you can only really brick it when writing a radio file, which I wasn't doing, and that we had zero reports of bricks thus far - and then proceeded to knock on wood and hope that we continue to be so fortunate.
undeadk9 and blue6ix, thanks for your replies .
No problem, we're here to help.
Just to clarify, I broke my other phone, not my beloved doubleshot.
So are the rooting methods here novice level? By the looks of them they require a lot of concentration.

Its not a z4 root. But its easy enough.
It's really hard to brick our phone. Thanks to good support on our forums and good directions.
I havent heard of one software error that resulted in a total loss for our phone.
Beautiful, should I follow instructions from an xda thread or head straight to the site. And thanks for all the help. It is really appreciated. Again, undeadk9 and droidmoder. Edit- went to the site and an xda thread is definitely what I need, in the mtg4 slide compendium thread there is like 3 or 4, any suggestions as to the friendliest one or are they all comparable in ease? Edit- not to get ahead of myself, is the modaco recovery. More stable than clockworkmod?

I use sense on crack. I'm too spolied wih. Sense and gb. Cm7 senseless and virtrious are all aosp. I ve used senseless but as I said to spoiled with some stock features that aosp does not have or is way different. Aosps are similar minus the devs themeing and added features.
All the roms are easy to install just follow directions. Cm7 uses the new clockwork while the other ones use the older version (modaco).
They all have great support devs are helpful. Undeadk9 is the author of sense on crack and senseless. He's super helpful.

I think virtrous is senseless I haven't used it yet so maybe another member can chime in.
Its easy to flash a new image. The compendium has directions for both images.

Fwiw the iPod vid cable as well as the creative zen vision m cables work in case you have one sitting around and want to check it out.
AS for the bricks i'm not worried about it.. Based on my brief research these aren't like the glaciers (mt4g) where it's a lottery as to if you'll end up with one that has the crappy Sharp lcd and bad emmc or get lucky with a Sony lcd and good emmc. I went through 3 of them before finally ending up with one that had the good screen and emmc but even that over had a hardware issue a the camera wouldn't work...... Hence why i'm on the mt4gs now oddly the guys there painted a bad picture of this slide when I mentioned I'd be switching to this phone which I can say was completely obviously based on no real knowledge or having experienced this phone. and sorry to say a lot of dev support for a dated device does not make for a better phone although it does make it more pleasurable to have....which some will try to make one think otherwise.........

You could of read the compendium before you bought it .
Myself I have to have a hardware keyboard coming from a g1. I liked the mt4g but wanted a keyboard. I saw the slide was announced to be released in a few months. So I waited. When it came out I was tempted by the g2x. But the camera keyboard and similar specs sold me the slide.
Best implusive/informed purchase I've made yet. I use this phone more than my laptop. Its fast as heck, has an awsome camera and I can watch netflix or game on my tv.
I love this phone! Lol

I'm looking forward to seeing how it runs on the myTouch 4G. (Just got mine back from HTC yesterday after a warranty repair. They replaced my good LCD with the bad one =( ... but all is working as it should again!) You guys think we'd get anything official? If not, CM (among others) will bring it to us, right?I bet it'll be real nice. Did they announce minimum specs to have ICS?
I personally love the looks of the UI. I especially like the widget management and if I remember correctly, I believe I heard there will be a native screen capture function (AT LAST!). Outside of those things and the hardware acceleration mentioned above, I don't know a whole lot about ICS, so I'll be following this thread pretty closely.

I agree. From what I have seen in the videos, I think I like sense 3.0/3.5 UI more than ICS UI. HTC might make sense even better with ICS. I would definitely wait for ICS based sense ui.
Do you think that there will be an update to ICS for the MT4G? It looks pretty cool, but even if there is a custom rom with it, I can't get it because I have a bad EMMC chip.

i doubt it. we didn't get a android 2.3.5 or 2.3.7 update, i'm guessing android 2.3.4 was our last (and only) OTA. tmobile considers the MT4G as an "old phone" now
now i may be wrong though, so don't trust me 100% lol
So I saw an article on tmonews stating htc will update the sensation and the amaze 4G in the beginning of 2012. what I wonder is how the hell they updating a device that came last like the amaze 4G and not the mytouch slide that came out way before? Smh yea it will get updated but not in the time it should. Watch us get an update really late on mid 2012.

Yeah but here is the thing...what will HTC add with ICS...remember in all actuallity the OEM system is now Gingerbread but mysense added to it...your user expirience is the redheaded T-mo branded version of sense (which I hate compared to the real one) So is HTC going to release ICS with sense 3.5 or will it be like the phones released early next year with sense 4.0? So yeah while we will have probally Cyanogen 8 and maybe ICS AOSP I can't wait to see a ROM that is ICS with Sense....

Well I seen a story posted on the web by AndroidCore about the HTC devices and the Doubleshot was not on it...but one question was since t-mobile branded it from HTC wonder if it would be up to T-mo....there should be no reason the doubleshot would get overlooked it is a new device now...
Well looks like it was front page here...
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-announces-which-devices-get-ice-cream-sandwich/
The decision is a combination of HTC and T-Mobile. More importantly, you should simply focus on the fact we aren't finished announcing devices that will receive the ICS upgrade.

SK4G is unsupported both by devs and Samsung. Aren't you guys still stuck with Froyo or something? Either way even if you get GB you'll never see anything past GB unless you get CM9, which is highly unlikely.
MT4G has awesome Sense ROM's, a solid MIUI ROM, and a very stable CM7 ROM with CM9 looking within weeks.

I actually traded my sk4g for a Mytouch and its completely with it. Yes a keyboard its nice but there's no development, and the Mytouch has a bigger screen and typing/swyping is a lot easier that on the sidekick screen.

Getting a Mytouch 4G for a Sidekick 4G is like getting an Audi for Kia (I don't specifically have anything against Kia, but I doubt anyone will argue that a Kia is a better car than an Audi). Don't ask questions. TRADE! Trade and run before your friend realizes their mistake.
I played with a Sidekick 4G for a few minutes and it was a joke. Minus a physical keyboard a Mytouch 4G is better in every way.

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
My mom has a mytouch4g... holy hell, I want to kill it with fire. Beat it with a bat, and then put it in a blender. I seriously hate the Mytouch 4G. The sensation is a Bugatti, and the MT4G is a 94 Honda Civic with no v-tec and a super huge muffler that kills all its power..
The biggest thing I noticed on the negative side when I switched from the MT4G to the Sensation was the rounded back of the Sensation.
You can't just lay it on your desk or a table and type on it. It wobbles all over the place. You have to hold it. The MT4G has a flat back so you could pound on it and it wouldn't wobble. Made it really easy to type while it was sitting on the table.
However....the bigger screen is really nice. It's much more vibrant too.
The first day you'll feel like you're holding a tablet because of the size difference. But you get used to that pretty quick.
The only thing I miss from the change is the trackpad wake and dedicated camera button

i had a MT4G before, and compare to Sensation: honestly, i don't feel the sensation is much superior than the MT4G.Even with dual core processor, there is not much different in term of speed. Not like you move from a Camry to a Lamborghini.Instead, you move to an Avalon ^^. The only thing different is the screen size :4.3 inches vs 3.8 inches. And i also miss AOPS roms and MIUI roms alot. MT4G have a great roms collection than Sensation. Overall, Sensation is till a good phone, but you wouldn't expect to much in it.

Are you seriously telling somebody that there are no good custom roms for the sensation??? WTF??
I still have a MT4G and a Sensation, and will switch between the 2. The Sensation has a larger and better screen, 8 MB Camera w/ 1080p Camcorder, and a likely quicker path to ICS, all pluses.
The MT4G had great build quality, dedicated buttons including camera button and slightly better cell reception. I personally think the antennas built into the rear Sensation cover is a defective design; much prefer the MT4G design.
For many other things, like battery life, speed of use with or without Sense, lack of lag, built in memory, 4g speeds, browsing, etc., the devices are very similar if not about the same. Dual core in the Sensation is nice, but on both of my devices I only OC to about 1.2 ghz and they both (with the right GB rom) have the same smoothness and similar benchmarks. Sensation is just like a slightly newer brother to the MT4G IMO.
I miss...
Camera button.
Cm7-so much!
More responsive touch screen when typing.
That's about it.
You will like...
Better camera.
Better/larger/sharper images.
Ics roms.
OK gingerbread roms.honestly,I liked tdj's/royal knights sense 3.5 better than any on sensation,but they are good here too.
Better 3g4g connectivity its faster.
Is it worth upgrading too instead of sgs2? No.Not really.
However,my sgs2 is in the drawer,so,its a matter of preference.I'm just using this one to flash roms.
You will like the phone.but if you can return for sgs2 you will most likely enjoy that one more!

Couldn't agree more about the battery life.
Development is on par I'd say considering the future development and official ICS coming. MIUI is going to officially support the sensation, win.
Also, camera button.

Ummm...
Haven't seen any groundbreaking rom delivered by you.
A lot of the roms are just about the same ****,yes that's true.
But better to have too much than nothing.
There's some good roms here,no question.
But,yeah there's a lot of the same ****.
But,when will we see kingdavids creativity come to life?
Show us your genius coding skills.

Thanks for the input guys, I do like the idea of the Sensation getting the ICS update in March so they say...so is it just as easy to root as the MT4G? I may wait to root until after ICS comes to the phone but then again I may not?

I used to have a MT4G and now I'm on Sensation and I absolutely love both phones.
I was very satisfied with the myTouch only AFTER I rooted it and installed CyanogenMod, overclocked it a bit, it went very fast.
I've had the Sensation since it came out! I love this phone, really powerful, looks great, has an amazing camera and screen. You won't be disappointed.
ROOT it of course stock HTC ROM sucks doodooballs.

Just curious, but which devs did we have who could seriously code? I guess Roman and maybe xboarder, but who else? Both of their roms didn't catch fire around here until they had all but left.
The kernel devs don't count as lost until ics sources are out and they don't come back lol.

Well whooooptiefuckibdooo.
Code this.lol.theme this too.
The kitchen must be closed.
I really don't give a **** kid.
Anyway...
Yeah,rooting the phone is why you're on a thread in xda so of course you will root it.lol.
Actually simpler than the my touch.
Don't take things too serious queendavid.

Roman, Xboarder, lee, faux, Lee drops a lil something some time, the rest are gone, and actually knew how to code and just didn't use the kitchen and put others zips in... Anyways man the screen is enough reason to upgrade... Other than that about the same as stated by others...

So I've received the HTC One S a few days ago (not the One X + because tmobile doesn't like nice phones) and I'm falling in love with it! So I guess this means goodbye, at least for a while. I'm sure this is good news for most lol. If it's any conciliation, the HTC one S development thread is horrible!! It has no personality what so ever and no one objects when others ask for ETAs which is something I've grown to genuinely love about this community Hopefully Bhundven and his team successfully port jelly bean (and have TV out working) but I'm sure a few weeks after, there'll be a mass migration back to ics in favor of a more "stable rom." lol Anywho good luck guys, the Samsung Galaxy S 4g will always be in my heart!

I've also been eyeing that phone... I think the One X is too big, and the One S is much closer to the size of the GS4G, which I like very much. I've also checked out the One S forums, but am still on the fence, especially since my phone works so well with these custom roms, I really don't have a great reason to upgrade, other than trying something new..
please report back how you like it (or send a PM if you don't want to clutter up the board here).

Yeah honestly I can't stress to you how awesome this phone is! The display is super bright, the resolution is also pretty good so don't worry about qhd complaints specially since you're coming from the S 4g display. The camera is professional quality and it preforms well day to day. If you don't like sense you can always install apex or a stock aokp ics rom but I happen to like sense personally specially the widgets and customizations. The rooting method, like for most htc phones, is significantly harder. There is another thing called S-off which has hindered development for the phone. There are still plenty of roms to play around with (including jelly bean!) but the installation is pretty tricky so for instance, you'll need to use a command prompt to flash something called a boot image to install any time and it's easy to brick. There are other new terms you'll need to learn of course. Don't let this scare you. One of the best things is the battery life (Both onscreen and stand by). The sheer performance is out of this world for example it can be over clocked to 2.1 mhz! Trust me when I say you won't regret having this phone! I've even heard from some it's better than the one X

Thanks for the info. I think I may get one off ebay when I come back from vacation. I remember being super scared about flashing my GS4G, but after lots of reading I now flash the phone without thinking, so I'll be sure to read up on the 1S.
if I do end up with a 1S, I'll be sure to offer up my GS4G here for development
