Hi guys. So my girlfriend dropped her iPhone 4s and smashed the screen to hell. Cough cough. Lol. Anyway I'm thinking I'm going to let her just have my epic touch. So I used triangle away app and also did a full stock restore. I'm wondering though could Sprint ever tell I had it rooted and had custom kernels before or should we be all set? Don't ask me why but she wants nothing to do with root. I gotta try to get you guys a pic of that phone though. It's pretty bad. Thanks.

Just go into download mode and verify binary counter in fact shows zero and no for custom.
You should be set.

Lol I know. Hopefully she won't want another iphone anytime soon. But I guess they're ok if you just want basic simple use. :banghead:

Probably not. But I've heard of cases in the past where people would end up with a big charge on their bill all of a sudden. Most likely wouldn't happen now but better safe than sorry. Anyway I don't plan swap it out anytime soon but you never know.

I can honestly tell you that it is now an issue. Until we see things changed with the DCMA, it's now fair game to question all devices again, regardless of age. That's the way it's being handled.
I have sent a subject related question to our FSM's here for them to talk and discuss, while MSL obtaining talk is still OK, you have every reason to be concerned on what tech may look at. We have a few tech's in this forum who can speak better to what the directives are now on their level, but I do know that initial reps and managers have been instructed to pay more attention.
TL;DR - I know this is off topic from your op, but you're right to be concerned.

If the flash counter is 0 and device status says Official, they won't say anything. They can not deny a claim based on intent from having something on the SD.

Hey guys i have been having some real trouble working with sgs2 its a real pain now...I have a corrupted hard disk and its write protected doesn't allow to flash anything and i have tried every damn procedure even pushing it through the adb but the administrator does not allow to read it. I can flash nothing on it and the worst part is i cant even brick it even through odin. My friend who is a developer himself and works at telus wasnt able to do anything himself...Tried that even.. The phone is rooted and running Juggernaut 5.0 along with darkside kernel. It has been almost two months now since this problem has persisted...Is there any way i can brick my phone like hard brick that the phone does not turn on or just show black screen i want to get it replaced still have warranty..i paid 590 bucks for this phone and cant even sell it since i cant erase the memory. Please help me out with it.
Thanks

If you want to brick it flash an Odin kernel package from different phone.

Well i did receive answers and they were very supportive as well but it did not solve the problem and to be honest i did not even know the nature of the phone until now. I believe it would not harm anyone.
I just need a little help and i will be willing to donate as well.

Nowadays the rule of thumb is to never use ROM manager to install cwm unless its specifically stated to do so by devs for that particular model. I've seen it cause too many bricks. It may work but it may also brick u. U are better off using the recovery provided here.

The file manager in TWRP see's my external SD. I am sure you can flash from it.
I only ever flash from internal though.

Well, if you've checked the IMEI thread and read my posts I've done quite a lot today using TWRP. Even restored back to stock unrooted via Odin straight from JB AOKP. I'm not sure if it's how CWM does something with the partitions or what. I used TWRP because there weren't any reports, so I wanted to test and see.

Hmm... I check it maybe once a day, and sometimes even a week goes by in between checks.
This proves to be a problem because it's impossible to read the 300 new posts on a ROM thread, and when you ask something, people either just tell you it's already been asked, or you get ignored... And when they do reply, by the next time I check I can't even find if someone replied..
Has anyone managed to find a good way to stay informed while not wasting my life on the forums?
