I tire of seeing threads like this posted in these forums. They used to be a good place to actually have intelligent conversations and get relevant information, but now I see threads like this popping up all over the place.
First of all, if you're going to post a thread, PLEASE try to make sure you post it with much better spelling and grammar. If you have to simply take a second and check if it's correct then please do so. I have enough respect for the the posters here (their time, and sanity) to make sure my posts are not only readable, but also make sense, and I'd hope that others here do the same.
Second of all, it's somewhat hard to intentionally brick your device now a days, but NO you shouldn't. It's your fault you dropped it, so suck it up and deal with the consequences. Let Sprint actually put money where they need to (I.E. their coverage) and stop taking advantage of them for things that are your own fault.

I don't like to post "this" very often but...
Completely agree.

Same here, grow some nuts and bite the bullet.

MODS, can you get rid of this ridiculous thread??

XDA does not condone unethical practices, nor does it condone idiots who try and cheat and for all intents and purposes, steal.

HTC IMEI Unlock Codes

Hi Kids!
I found in many sites such as eBay.com and others, a pack of codes to unlock HTC phones without a PC.
I Live in Chile but I buy a lot of HTC phones in USA to sell it here on my free time
Will be great if I can unlock all my phones without connect each phone to a PC.
Where this guys get or generate these codes? Where can I find it?

Thanks for your help!

oh, i have the same question
UK residents should be aware that it is a criminal offence to change the IMEI number of a phone and if you are found doing it for other people you can get upto five years.
I love it when instead of answering peoples questions with an actual answer, someone feels the need to tell you how bad/illegal/wrong, it is to do what your doing. But then when you go back and look at older threads, or even on other forums, you see that same person asking the same question you asked, a year or two earlier. But once they know the answering, they tell everyone else not to do it, not to ask, and they can go to jail, blah blah blah. Unreal. Its sad when certain forums are 30% legitimate questions, and 60% "troll answers", and 10% real answers. It sucks when you have to go through reading 3 days worth of bull**** to get the answer to a question that is fairly basic, and in the old days would have been answered, and if there was no known answer, everyone would have worked TOGETHER to find one. Those days are obviously long gone, as everyone is more interested in "getting mine", and making, or think theyre going to make, that whopping $10 charge to give you that answer or do that service for you. Even though its "illegal". Ya its illegal, until you pay them, then legality all of a sudden is no longer an issue. Funny how that works right?
I would think XDA would be the place where "Devs" come up with solutions without judging! This is the whole idea of places like this. Where we do things we want to do with our devices. It can be getting rid of malware, junkware. Developing awesome skins, ROMs, apps. We circumvent operator practices to stifle our beautiful hardwares so why not develop easier ways to stop the government from blocking our freedom to use/buy devices and use them freely on any network!

[Q] first timer rom, and problems

I used Rom manager with DamageControlv3.1.2-deodexed.
Took forever to reboot, and had to shut down to finally reboot.
Many processes are stopping unexpectedly, I have no phone dial pad.
what next ??

hmmmmmmm, you start off your thread with a "q" and i can only assume it stands for question. In the evo section we have a section called Q+A....
No offense to the op, but i wish they gave an aptitude test before selling a smartphone. Or at least XDA should implement one before allowing registration?
But to answer your question, just reflash the rom, or another. the rom your using is pretty ancient anyways. Try virus or the new two point two rom. Either is excellent. If you want aosp, go cyan.
later
you are bunch of arrogant children in diapers-- I got help from somewhere else-

Alot of times when you flash a rom it takes a few minutes to initially boot up after you flash. Next time let it sit for like up to 7-10 minutes and see what happens. You might think its locked up or whatever, but its really building the cache and getting things ready for you.
Sorry these other kids has to act like idiots. Seems they all think they are moderators....just ignore the trolls and you will be ok.

SideLoaders - Sickipedia app, looking for someone to take it over

Hi all,
Wrote this as a friend wanted it on his phone got bounced by the marketplace (god knows why).
Code is fairly solid but could use some work posting the source and XAP here for someone to take over the development.
In short its been sitting on my machine for an age with nothing happening. If anyone wants to have a play etc then go for it.
Please note this is released under GPL. In short don't pass this off as yours and go around making money!
What do you have against others making money off something you have up'd for free that isn't done? No-one is going to make money if they're always half-way-there [bon jovi jokes are a must].
Not making money par-say but people stealing the code and claiming as their own then hogging all the rights to it.

The code works, the app runs. Half-way wouldn't be a fair description. I'm providing the work I've done to date for free so that someone can carry on working on it as a free open source project. I think that seems fair.
Probably got bounced because marketplace doesn't allow "Adult, racist, homophobic, etc." content
I wrote a Sickipedia app myself before Windows Phone 7 even came out, lloked like this:

But I guess I'll have a look at this sometime and see if I can do anything for it
Yeh very similar look to mine. Think you win on UI design tho.
Im happy to work with you on the UI and roll with your Code if you like ? Wouldnt want to put my name all over it and could be released on here once finalised as a colaboration ?
Hi,
Would love to but the work load with my university course is getting very heavy and so I don't really have any time to dedicate to a project right now.
I am more than happy for you to take my code and re-do the UI and release to XDA users.
You could try to republish the app.
The 'exit' exception you're throwing is not allowed, and will definitely get your submission denied.
private void button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
throw new Exception("I want to close the application");
}
You really should just remove the entire first page. This is just asking them to notice the 'ethics' violation.
Never really had anyone look over my code before, bit of a strange feeling knowing people are looking at my work!
I do agree while strictly true the exception is against the rules it shouldn't cause the app to fail certification as it will still conform to the policies.
I'm not really too interested in republishing as it was directly refused on ethics grounds and I find myself kind of agreeing with them.

[GUIDE] How NOT to behave in a development forum (or any forum at all)

Now redundant........
It would appear that there are a few people who are unfamiliar with how to properly use XDA. XDA is a development forum primarily for developers, not petulant children with an inflated sense of entitlement who lack the mental capacity to even string together a coherent sentence.

If you find yourself tempted to post something that is in any way similar to the ramblings of these two mouth breathing cretins then please reconsider. Perhaps it's time to beat a path through all the used Kleenex and discarded microwave burrito wrappers, step outside of your parents basement for a few minutes and get some fresh air. Enjoy the feeling of the sun on your face and try to remember what it feels likes to think and act like a reasonable human being with at least two connected braincells. Posts such as those above serve absolutely no purpose except to reaffirm the notion that you are nothing more than a vile, subhuman moron with the intellect of a lobotomised baboon they are also a pretty clear indication that you should be removed from the gene pool at the earliest possible opportunity, for the good of the species.
If this is not applicable, if you are a fully grown adult and not an angst ridden teenager who dwells in their parents basement then I'm sorry, however it is my duty to tell you that it is already too late for you. You have failed at life.
Although I fully understand your need to "stick it to the man" and let us forum Nazis know just how completely out of order we are by trying to keep this place organised for those users who, dare I say it, are here for the development. I can assure you that for every one person who might get a kick from your little act of defiance there are another ten who will be slightly amused at your lack of intelligence and get a few giggles from your nonsensical gibberish, before coming to the conclusion that it was a sad day for the human race when you were brought into this world.
Once again, this is a development forum, not a playground. If you wish to troll and create drama then head on over to 4chan and spare the rest of us your bull****. Thankyou.

Seriously thinking of giving the phone back

As I'm within the 28 days to exchange.....I've kind of had it with fancy phones and might go for a cheapy and get most of the money back, they wont like it but hey ho
Cool story bro
EDIT: But seriously, WHY do you hate the phone? I have a One X, I hate the way its designed and the battery life. I don't like the phone but atleast I know WHY I don't like the phone.
Maybe the reasons you don't like it can be fixed with a better ROM or something?

I would - I moved mine on to my wife who isn't fussed about custom/boot images/s-off/super-cid/flashing radios etc
I'm back using my Sensation and that's fancy enough for me for now. For me its better to have my modding freedom back.
And yeah - there is something to be said for saving thr £500 a high end phone costs. The functionality of a Desire C say is really the same at a lot less.
Agree wish I still had my Desire instead of all the risky business that is installing roms.

Stu, no offence but just ignore trolls.
By saying "I wonder how many other "useful" (ONE L!) posts there are"
This is just going to make people not want to help you. Considering XDA is one of the most useful, if not THE most useful forum for not only Android but devices such as the Raspberry Pi.
If you don't find this forum useful, why come here and tell all us useless users that you "Thinking of giving it back". Why do we need to know that?

Ignore trolls? The forum is messy enough but he decided to start a new thread to tell everyone that the phone is **** and he's giving it back. What is the purpose of the thread? I know i should of just ignored it but its [email protected]!king irritating. Wants locking.
no one wants to know that you want to give the phone back tell it someone in your family or so...but that's really the MOST useless thread here on xda...REALLY ...why the f*ck do you open such a thread, but nobody wants to know that? ....like cjm1979 said...NO purpose in open this thread...
