Touch screen 2.0 brick.

---

Hello everyone!

I have a Dell Venue Pro for T-Mobile service. I recently happened to brick the phone using the touch screen 2.0 update. I have read through the forums for the past day and a half and saw posts saying that firmware can be flashed but if it's the touch screen 2.0 brick it wouldn't work. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to computers or software.

I am at wits end because of this problem. I surely don't know what I am doing and Dell is of no help at all because my phone is 2 months out of warranty. The stock SD is still in the phone.

I would gladly be willing to donate to someone if they could help me with this. I would let them have remote access to my PC and do their thing. If anyone is willing, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!
Shawn

Buy a poor condition DVP with a cracked screen on ebay and swap the guts? Sell any salvageable parts, and hope to break even. That's all I can think of. From what I've read in the "how to unbrick your Dell Venue Pro" thread, it won't fix your problem.

I'll let more knowledgeable people offer their answers, but changing the hardware is an option.

What does updating your screen firmware actually do? Aren't updates supposed to be a good thing?...

Firmware updates (as apposed to rom updates) are very scary things since failures can mean you might not be able to fix it yourself.

Right, but are there any significant advantages by upgrading the firmware?

I think you need to ask about specific upgrades on specific devices. Obviously if there is a crippling bug that can be fixed by a firmware update, that would be a significant advantage. In this case, it was a terrible mistake.

In general, don't do it unless you have to.
