Sensation 4G Bricked?

[jamcomp]

Hello, I have an issue where I need to send my HTC Sensation in for repair. However, I had to re initiate S-ON, upon doing so. When I went to reboot, I get a blank screen with nothing showing. I can not even get into HBOOT. I know that if I send this to HTC for repair they are going to see I had S-OFF on this phone, and clockwork recovery. So they are going to charge me for the repair.

Anyone out there have any ideas on how to avoid this at all?

Just to let you know I just seen there was another thread on this and went to T-Mobile and they are sending me out a replacement free of charge except the $5 handling fee. Which is nominal at this point, they even let me use a loaner phone. This might be another avenue that people might be able to persue rather than wait the 6-10 business days for HTC to get done with their phone.

Yup,they are a lot easier to deal with than HTC.I bricked mine on Christmas eve trying to flash an ICS firmware,contacted T-mo and got my replacement 2 days ago.

Got my new one a day later. Thank God that I had insurance on my phone so they replaced it. I told them that an OTA update must have corrupted the Android OS data.

Did you flash the stock ROM before you put S-ON?

 

[jamcomp]

No I did not, that is the mistake that was made. Going to wit for the official launch of ICS before rooting my phone again so I don't have the same issue again.

Bricked

Same boat. ROM worked great... Now I'm bricked. Got my replacement today. Gonna wait a few days before sending bricked one to T Mo... Can they tell if I have S Off? Or do I hope for the best... Also in their terms and conditions they "conveniently" sent me it says " tampering or modifying your device is a violation that directly harms T-Mobile which cannot be fully redressed by money damages,and that T-Mobile shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies available." Should I be scared to send it back to them...? Lol
