how do people mess up their phones?
Interesting question. Mind telling us the reason for it?
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Any way, the easiest way is to drop it, or drop something heavy on it.
You can also get creative:

(sorry, couldn't find the link with pics of an iPaq that's been in a microwave)
Now, if you want to go the 'high-tech' style try flashing it with a wrong ROM.
Or better yet: pull out the USB cable in the middle of ROM update. It's a nice way to brick your device.
well, the obvious reason id like to know is such that one (and furthermore others who lack thar brainsmarts) understand what not to do before it do be done, but also because explosions are cool as hell
okay so people brick their phones by flashing the wrong rom. in order for a rom to be wrong, itd be a rom based on a machine language that is different than the one my phone came with, correct?
in other words, more explicitly, my question is this: which roms are compatible with the tmo MDA (and furthermore other phones that i dont own but people flash roms with) when i unlock the cid, backup the 2.26 rom, and flash something new? are all roms that run based upon windows mobile 5 compatible with this ppc?
seems to me that being such a risky thing to do and also how prone i and every other rational human being is to **** **** up, it only makes sense to compile a database of what exactly'll **** **** up, pardon my french
and yah that cat deal is funny hahah
Well, I don't know about a database, but when you use an official update tool it warns you about the risks and consequences of flashing the ROM, and even checks for battery charge before letting you proceed.
What is the wrong ROM?
Any ROM image that wasn't specifically designed for your device. WM5 is not a generic product like desktop windows. The machine language is the same, but since ROM image also includes all the hardware drivers (which can not be installed separately from the OS) if you flash say a Wizard with a Universal ROM (not sure if the bootloader will let you, but it might) the device will become unusable.
The main concern in any ROM update is power / communication interrupt during the flash. Anything that brakes the process will likely leave the device unusable.
Another dangerous endeavor is messing with the bootloader. If you screw up the OS or radio ROM chances are you can reflash again, but once your bootloader is screwed so are you. (pardon the language)
Finally, I wouldn't recommend to anyone new to these devices to mess with custom ROMs or to flash different brands.
Reasons:
A) It voids warranty.
B) It's hard to tell if some problems are result of ROM or hardware if you don't know your device well.
yah thats another thing... is there a good registry monitor for ppc that doesnt cost like 40 bux?? i cant find any
...try this one...
i dont know what the deal is, but that file is corrupt upon extracting the file. whatever youre playin at you can go straight to hell, you wont pass go and youll never ****in win, you smelly european. hitler has pineapples for you there hah
or maybe im sposd to install that program on the ppc? lol! whatever it doesnt really matter
what i want is a registry monitor not a registry editor... im not going to waste my time memorizing the registry. what i want (and i speak transcendentally for the rest of humanity) is a registry monitor (that doesnt suck) and that is also free
now deliver you stupid mongoloids, else i **** my pants!
...sorry for messing up register monitor with editor. My english isn't as good as I would like.
(Btw file worked perfectly by opening with pocketRAR3.60)
But maybe this is useful:

O and with yout tactile way of asking people for help, i don't think you'll be getting any, so go **** your pants
first of all, the word is tactful. tactile is a word for wankers, althought the entomology is the same haha.
second, in the spirit of tact i will abstain from british jokes.
third, i aint no yank. i be texan. and if you cant handle my southern drawl, then eat my asshole
finally, on a more serious note, asking for help on this forum is ridiculously taboo. there seems to be an overall theme that asking for help without a concise understanding is like masturbation in the victorian era... tis surely understandable, but the animosity towards stupid people is uncalled for
anyways, my thanks to levenum and to krinkies; that link is just what i was lookin for
my old roommate was dutch and he was super nice too, he never complained when i forgot to flush the toilet lol

Don't let me down Santa
that would be an amazing xmas gift... for all of us
mhhh it would be great gift but right now impossible in this forum guys.
Big Brother MS would sure get crazy of that.
Santa has signed NDA with microsoft and can not leak any software, or he will have a lot of legal problems with microsoft

Oh well, worth a try hehe.
Happy Holidays everyone

i meant exactly the same so i copy pasted it
Yo I'm new at the rom cookin scene but like pimp'n its coming easy for me. I thought I'd roll the dice and see how hard it would be to cook my own rom for my cingular hermes. I took CUSTEL/shadowmite's 2.5 tweaked shiznit and pimped it with a new kernel. Its got tha new htcustom 1.4 ish, that new 1413 thats just hit the streets, not the fake **** yo, this rom cooks!
All you fools made it sound like it would be so hard, but it aint nothin but a thang. This rom iz Da shizzle baby, I got my heremes running it and I can tell you that its the best rom out there. It works better for me than any other roms you clowns have made so far. give it a whirl, once you go with reprezent'n you never go back.
I'm calling this one rockin 1.0, try it fo youself.

I don't think you'll find a single person (I hope) that'll trust a ROM from a single poster, especially when it's claimed to be the shiznat.
Although, I'm glad ta hear you so talented wiff da english language. Peep dis yo!
My advice, step it down a little, supply us with some screen shots and detailed specs.
PEACE OUT BRUDDA!
(dripping with sarcasm)
i like this guy
It has to be a joke/front, someone who speaks like that can hardly flash roms, let alone cook them
So please lock the thread now so it can go away in peace.
This aint no joke, im trying to get some screenshots up yo. And why you guys hatin? I got skills, i got hookups. Dont be a playa hater!
really, talk properly so we can understand you or i will take action.

We're attempting to correct a misguided youth sir.
I mean we have so many rom flavors to choose from. also some rom experts around.
What would he have to give us more than they did over almost a year now ?
Good luck to him
While I certainly question your intentions like everyone else, I'll give ya this, the rom appears to be real and working. dunno anything else...
wow.
you should move to Los Angeles, right down there on MLK Blvd., people would *love* you.

Thats pretty judgemental coming from a midget. Screenshots added to the first post yo.
my goodness, what fun!
I can confirm it is a working rom, dumped the rom to confirm, it is based on custel 2.5, I am running it now without the extended rom. I am sorry to say though it is not anything special, just a customised custel rom. The screen shots are the real deal. Will be romoving to go back to Black.
Hi All,
Has anybody got a ROM that i can flash my wife with, she doesnt realise how much fun and addictive it gets once you have learnt to flash, then how to tweak with all the cool toolbars, icons so on and so forth Etc etc;
Keep up the good addictive work!!!!!
I have flashed that many times and have that many add ons i have no idea wtf mine is on.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH xD
You can like, Flash energy rom to her to make it a little bit spicier in the bedrooms *wink-wink*
xD
nooo but seriously don't feck it up though u can brick or wife, and that's not a pretty face too see!!

Hi DEAR.
Your Wife need Hard reset.

you should first open your task manager then end all bad process in your live.
next speak with your wife.
but very lovely.
clean it.
buy some accesories for your wife.
then sharj your wife.
if that solutions dose not work tell me.
and i say more solutions like Hard SPL or other ...
** oh Dear i'm very sorry but i cant speak english good.
with best regurd
CROWN
Best advise is to read and flash. ROM is all based on what you have installed in your phone, and what you use your phone for. So what works for one, might not work for other.
Be prepared to flash a handlful before you find the cook you like...

but seriously, if someone really opens up another thread titled "I think I lost root with 2.2 OTA", I just may have to shoot myself. in the eye. with a bb gun. multiple times until it actually enters my brain and puts me out of my misery. and once i'm done, if i see it posted again, i'll have to start on the other eye.
LMAO
10chars
Time to freshen up on the 'golden rule of root'...which is "never apply an OTA on a rooted device unless you WANT to lose root...wait for a rooted rom or update instead".
Somehow I doubt HondaCop actually applied the OTA.
in before losing root.

Good thread IMO, now a lot of people will look here and READ.
Like I said, FROYO is a nice upgrade, but it has nothing in it worth losing root for..ESPECIALLY since there are a lot of roms that are virtually identical to the official release AND the official release is right behind it!
The official OTA doesn't do dishes, cook dinner, offer sexual favors in the middle of the night or anything like that, not worth losing root.

sometimes you gotta just settle for what's at hand . . .
Hondacop,
You are a cyanogen_nightly trader. You left us for htc froyo sense widgets. Now it is just "shift" all by himself surrounded by cyano_newbs on the cyanogen q&a thread. They even closed our nightly q&a thread after you left us.
Hondacop from Prec.
And Hondacop from the CM Nightly thread.
Anyway, I hope some Froyo roms get updated to run better.
CM RC1 is killing my battery.
Baked Snack battery on CM Froyo would be HEAVENLY.

Actually, I left for an almost 100% working 2.2 ROM. I really enjoy CM6 but Sense definitely NOT the reason for switching around. hahaha Heck, I have Baked Snack 1.0 and the first thing I did was install LauncherPro Plus! I can't stand having a 3 button dock with limited functionality!
