Amen to that. Last month I was updating to the Hero rom, and everything was going perfectly smoothly, I was almost finished, then when I put the Hero SPL on it, it updated then when it restarted would not get past the screen that says T-moble G1. I couldn't get into boot mode, recovery mode, Nothing, It was a total brick. So Luckily I called Tmoble and gave them some bullshit about me getting an OTA and popping out the battery during the update and that's what happened. They sent me a new phone free of charge, not even shipping, but I doubt I can do that twice so I'm being careful with my phone now although my mouth is watering to put hero on it, but after seeing just how easy a phone can brick I'm afraid to do anything to it that T-mobile doesn't give me. Although I'm dying just to at least root it so I can use my appstosd app for my internal memory, but whatever, at least my phone works now, LOL
