How many of you have NOT nuked/bricked your Bold 99xx?

[mss-ca]

I know there are many threads on this issue, but I thought we should make a thread with information on people NEVER came across these issues. I know this sounds repetitive, but when I search the threads I didn't find a thread with data on Bold 99xxs with no issues at all. I can't find a thread that talk about how long you guys use them without bricking or nuking.

Post the following info:
Model:
How long with no issues:
What OS versions you installed:

Here is mine
Model: Bold 9900 3G/H+ bands 1,2,5,6
How long with no issues: August, 2011 (a week after Telus released it)
What OS versions you installed: OS 7.0.0.261 | 7.1.0.74 | 7.1.0.267(current)

NOTICE: This thread suppose to be about nuking or bricking issues. NOT hardware issues like light bleeding from sides. If you have hardware issues I made a thread while back at: Things you should know about your Bold 9930/9900-problems and solutions!

I have had mine since Verizon released them in Aug 2011. No problems with mine at all. I'm running 9930/7.1.0.267 (B921) but this is my first leaked OS. I have had only the offical verizon OS on before. I updated them as verizon released them thru OTA. Its a Mexico 5 black 9930.

My 9900 bricked itself only one time.
But I have BB protect on my phone.

I plugged it on my PC, restored my data with bb protect.
It was I matter of a half hour to get back on track.

But that also happend to me with my 8900 and my 8700 some years ago.
No big deal!
After that one break down, it never happened again.

BTW: I have my 9900 since it came out, back in Sept. 2011 and I'm a heavy user!

No brick here and running latest Verizon OS for the 9930. Battery life is good and I use many different brands of chargers with no issues. The only issue I ever had was when I first got the device I had to reload the OS several times till it worked right. And of course each update it got better.

Bought in Dec - not had any issues at all. Great phone. Battery is what it is....last I checked the rest don't do that much better so I'm not upset about it. Love my phone.

I bricked my Bold 9900 the first day I got it. It was a gift from my girlfriend a few weeks back. My carrier hasn't released the 7.1 update yet, so me being the tinkering that I am just had to have the latest and greatest. So I follow all the steps perfectly for loading up the firmware and boom error 505. T_T Since it was such a new device to me I freaked and thought it would be doomed forever. However after 10 minutes of google searching and finding some awesome threads I was able to unbrick my blackberry. Now all is well and the battery life on 7.1 is incredible X)

TLDR: Bricked my phone fixed it with helpful forum advice.
