Has anyone Bricked/Nuked a 9900 with OS 7.1.0.190

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has bricked/nuked a 9900 running the latest leaked os 7.1.0.190?
I have been running it for a couple days so far(on a 9900 that was not bricked) and it has been flawless. Love the mobile Hot Spot............though it does drain the battery in a hurry when in use.
Curious to see if it is a software issue that has been bricking the 9900's, and not a hardware issue like many think.
I am also running a second 9900 that was bricked running the 7.0 os, that is now also on 7.1, and it also has been working flawlessly.

How did Mobile Hotspot effect your data plan?

I have been using the very first leak of OS 7.1 which is 7.1.0.74 and no issues what so ever. I honestly think this is a hardware issue because I never had any bricking issues on my Bold when it was on OS 7.0. Also, I work part time at a store in Calgary and found a lot of Telus as a % were returned compared to Rogers and Bell. This may be due to the manufacturing plant of the phone. Made in Mexico 4/5 seems to have the highest bricking as far as I know.

I have been running the bricked 9900 on the 7.1 leak for 3 days now.....even let the battery drain to less than 5%(the supposed cause for many of the bricking issues) and it is still working fine........running on BES as well.

I will post if this 7.1 phone bricks again.

Regards

I was on the 7.1.0.73 leak and my Bold bricked.

It's 7.1.0.74 and that was ancient anyway, so doesn't count. There certainly wasn't a software fix for bricking back then.

My 9900 bricked a couple OS's back, I resurected it with 7.0.0.540. It was running great for a couple months, then 7.1.0.190 came along. Installed it, had it running for a day, then I installed the bbm 6.1 beta from beta zone. While the phone was restarting after install, it just shut off. Then back to the bricked state.

I think you meant to type 7.1.0.74 and I have that right now on my phone with no issues at all. I hope nothing goes wrong because I don't want to spend the time to upgrade my OS now to the new leaked version.

PSA: A bricked device is only a brick as long as it stays dead; if it comes back to life by any means, that would mean it was nuked.

Don't you have to pay for hotspot though?

does the hotspot use BIS or does it use ur networks APN?
