Has anyone bricked their Skyrocket after rooting it, sent it back to Samsung, and had luck? I imagine they have so many phones coming in/out that they might not check. Ultimately, just hooking it up to their JTAG unit and reflashing it.
But, I'd like to know if anyone has had any experiences with this.
If you search answers will come I suggest something about bricked phones

k, thanks. So it seems like they will replace them. I'm wondering if I should say that Kies died during an update or if it just died and won't power on.
Battery on your comp died or you dog tugged on the cable mid update

bricked mine. wouldnt even turn on. couldnt get recovery or download mode. sent it to samsung and they marked it as a faulty pcb and replaced it.
Be very very careful when your flashing. Don't flash in a thunder storm, in a car, or while your moving. Make sure your phone, your computer are charged. Make sure your USB ports work your cables are good. Make sure not to move your phone, hold your phone while its flashing. Be sure to read and read again before you flash.
Check double check every file. Make sure your downloads complete, make sure its for your phone. Read other post and learn from them. And you won't have another bricked phone.

Hard bricked mine the other day. Went to at&t said it turned off when I plugged it in and they gave me a new one right away.

Just came back from At&t Device Support Center and they fixed my bricked Skyrocket in less then 10 minutes. The chick giggled when she saw it was rooted and said I shouldn't do it anymore. LOL. If you're under warranty still, go to your local center. Maybe they'll fix it even if it isn't under warranty. Might depend on the person though.

ATT will replace if under warranty
Just went through the process here myself. ATT will replace if under warranty. They asked if I'd gotten it wet or dropped it - no questions about flashing custom ROM - especially the wrong custom ROM : )

going to see will they take mines and switch it out the same day, I bought my skyrocket with broke screen from my friend, he said he accidently kept the phone old one, so I bought it for a reasonable price, if they take a look at the IMEI will they say something about it being not sent back, I mean I been using it for awhile now, I say about 2 or 3 months. Hopefully they'll switch it without problems or asking for my account, but some how I know they will what do yall think?

The imei is the first thing they look at, as that is how they tell if it's under warranty or not. Send it for jtag, about 50 bucks.

Yeah, JTAG might be my first, I dont get a upgrade till February, hopefully they'll replace it, Im going to seee today, when I get time and with my girlfriend, I hope the warranty is still good though
This may sound strange...but i need to find a way to brick my phone so that not even the bootloader will work.
i tried flashing different roms from different phones but everything seems to have a script to check phone models now so it wont let me flash.
i also tried to wipe everything, cache, system and stuff and force rebooting, doesnt work either.
any ideas?
May I ask why you want to do this?

My earpiece volume is very low to the point i cant hear anyone while walking on the street.
i borrowed my sisters onex and hers was totally fine.
i have a service plan through futureshop but they wont take it back if i modified it (they are smart enough to check bootloader which says tampered and stuff all over it)
so in order for me to fix it/get a new one i have to brick it to the point where they cant even see the tampering

His earpiece is defective. If he had not installed a ROM he would have been able to get a replacement. I dont think he should be punished for flashing a ROM by being forced to keep an already detective device.

I've discussed this many times, unlocking your bootloader does NOT void your warranty.
HTC says it MAY void your warranty.
Flash a ruu and send it back would be the ethical way to go. They don't check the bootloader, they probably send it to HTC or some sort of repair center.
Me personally I would brick it to reduce the chance of them trying to stick me with the cost of the phone. But I wouldnt tell anyone

Actually yes this problem happened after root/bootloader unlock
I am not the only one with this problem and it hasnt been the first phone ive had with this problem either
It was fine for a couple of months and then it was on and off, sometimes the volume will be normal in calls and sometimes it wont
then it just fully dies and stays a low volume
had the exact same problem with my evo3d and xperia arc

Wouldn't a bricked device be more suspicious than a defective earpiece? What would be the situation you could brick a device without unlocking the bootloader, or using a microwave? They can verify the earpiece is bad. I have some sort of defect with the screen, like a scratch or smudge between the LCD and the glass. I was just going to send it back with the bl relocked. But, my new one came with 2.20 already on it. So, I sent it back and will try again later for another, or if an exploit is found for 2.20, or take them up on the early upgrade GS III offer.
How bad is the earpiece issue? Worse than running stock sense? You may want to wait until you get a replacement to decide what to do.

there still going to ask what happened though. i bricked mine and told them i got the 2.20 update and i was watching a movie while (not on my phone) it installed and after a while checked on it and it was off and wouldnt charge or turn on. but now im on my second 2.20 replacement. first had a bad speakephone and service was crap. and this one the whites are not as white as they should be and are more pinkish and tan.
Hello xda. Let me get straight to the point. My mom, step sister, brother and cousin all have the EVO shift. My cousin is on his 6th. My bros on his 3rd. Sisters on her 3rd and now my mom is getting her second. All do to touchscreen malfunction. I attached some pictures of the dead spot on the phone. Not only can I not touch there but sometimes when the phones just sitting there it'll touch random spots. Is there a fix to this? Maybe running an RUU?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
I've had the same problem in the same spot since I got my phone. Sprint and Wirefly screwed me out of insurance... So I just work around it by rotating the screen.
Changing the build.prop helps. Change windowsmgr.maxevents to 240. If you're not rooted you are outta luck tho, no update is gonna fix that.

The phones did work good for a while but then after time the touch just starts dying. Almost a total of 12 phones have had the same problem. Although phone with keyboards tend to malfunction more than bar phones.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that is usually the flex cable but mine had a small dead line across the screen and progressively got worse. My wife's does too but hers happened after getting dropped in a drink lol. I'll just say I have done a lot with Android and I can't fix this problem, it is a hardware issue, no software will fix it.
That's what had happened to a few of the shifts. The cable started to crease and that shorted the screen to a point where it was unusable.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
It's defiantly a Hardware issue. Usually the Flex Cable. I've had them bought to me for repair acting just like yours. Usually end up replacing the Digitizer also. Because people tend to bang on the Screen harder, thinking that that will make it work. Which does nothing but cause more damage. If you have TEP, take it in. Just make sure to RUU before you take it in.

After the third time for the same issue you can request a NEW one. They may not be to happy to oblige, but if you stay on them they should do it. Also after the third time for the same issue, you can request a different device. It would be without a penalty. Meaning you should not have to use your Upgrade.
Either im really lucky or really careful, because nothing has gone bad on my shift except the battery. And that's after two years.

I'd suggest hard bricking it first. When the s3 first came out I flashed an incorrect zip file and almost instantly found myself with a totally lifeless phone. I took it in to Verizon and convinced the guy there that it just stopped working and I played dumb about why. He tried to charge it for a while and see if that helped and of course nothing happened, so then he pronounced it dead and ordered a replacement phone totally under warranty. Good luck, lol

Nope, Ill tell you what happened. I have been having problems with the evolution mods kernel rebooting my phone, after i tried the "fixed" version.
So i flashed the full firmware from the 1.55.602 update (im running a stock rom with bloating removed) and i removed the hboot from the zip. Since im running a custom hboot with the text removed. Thinking i could just reflash the stock kernel.
i flashed it, did a fastboot reboot and now its deader than a hammer.
no charge, no usb activity, no turn on. dead as can be. Ill take any and all suggestions. I know my way around pretty well, so im surprised that its bricked. But its the first M8 brick, unless someone has a clever idea?

My condolences on the device, but you sir should be applauded for not going the route of "warranty" on a device that died by your hand. Does seem odd that you can't even get it to charge though.
Sent it to HTC to get fixed out of warranty. I let everyone know what they charge to unbrick. Besides, they would have figured it out anyways then charged me

It's super bricked. I flash firmware on single board computers at my job for medical equipment. We have bricks occasionally. But we can jtag out of it. I assume the same can be done if there is a header location available on the processor board. Couldn't find anybody who has jtagd one yet to do it.

well, its at HTC (en route) right now. It should get there wed/thurs. If i get a bad case of sticker shock, illl get it sent back. If they can fix it for reasonable, then i will get it fixed. I am a big fan of your effort to free these android devices. So if they want too much, id be happy to send it to you. Maybe you can prevent the next one from occuring.

No worries, hopefully you can get it fixed reasonable. Kudos for being honest about it, most people would claim warranty.
Actually I dont mind buying devices. Just for something like this I wouldnt feel good intentionally bricking a $600 device. I do it enough on accident

So i had edged up from my M7, ended up selling that for 400. Got the M8, had 2 payments made, bricked it. So i had to pay off the 500 on the edge. Now whats interesting if you early payoff the edge, you are out of contract, COMPLETELY. So i ended up with a free standard upgrade, so i was able to edge again. thats a FYI if anyone is interested. Kinda sucks, but i made my money back already fixing computers this week. Any idea what i did wrong, i have flashed M7 & M8's & DNA's so many times....I know my way around. Im still baffled
