As the title says, do not partition your SD card through CWM. My Thrive is now hard-bricked because of it. It partitioned the internal memory instead of the external SD. I should have done some reading first because apparently this is a known problem on several devices so just let this be your warning.

Now, I know the thrive has a 1 year limited warranty. Is there any way I could send it in to get re-flashed or replaced? I know people were having issues with the device not turning on or going into recovery before root was even available (software issue I guess?), did those get fixed or replaced?

Any input/suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thank you.
