YAY, EASILY FOOLED COMPANIES!

Welp, I bricked my Xperia Play, on purpose. I did it in order to get a new one since my looked like total durp, screen had some scratches that bugged the crap out of me. So I grabbed my XP and ran a few outdated patches for stupid stuff like removing system sounds and shit, you know, bullshit that somehow annoys people. Anyway, I managed to brick it without violating my warranty and took it to my local verizon store. I was all like "I dont know what happened bro, I wus like downloading some apps off V-Cast and it just went blank bro." so the guy said he would get SE to send me a new one. That night I ran a Flash program and fixed the firmware. So now I have to send this other one in. So I formatted the phone and put a background on it that said "You mad bro?" with a nice little troll face and loaded the internal memory with troll faces.

And thats the story of how I tricked a phone company into replacing a working phone with minor screen damage.

Doesn't doing actions that would brick a system violate your warranty? [/quote]

I already told the guy it was a mistake, and I got the new phone and sent it back already and a week later I still havent heard anything from them so I guess not.

Good for you?

I did the same thing with my 3DS except I didn't fuck anything up. I sent it in fully-intact and working and they sent me back a new replaced one with a warranty.

Blah blah theft blah blah wrongdoing blah

When you say "Had to sent in the other one", you mean the one you "bricked", or the new one they sent you?
