“For parts or not working”
Unlocked for L3.90 (GBP) on 4-30-2011

Phone 1 Auction printoff
Replaced touchscreen with This one for $13.09
currently (5-4-2011) this phone still looses backlight when closed (tried a couple of known good digitizers and screens) The backlight issue MIGHT be related to the ribbon cable that run between the screen and handset. (mobo/software independent)
Currently has Phone 2 motherboard

USB debugging is NOT enabled on this phone. That feature follows the mobo, and the Phone 2 mobo that's in this phone doesn't have it enabled.
During normal boot, the system hangs on “G1”
Once hung, the phone (mobo) must have batter & USB power removed for 5-15 min before it will power back up.
If you do a <CAM>+BPWR, and have a DREAIMG.nbh on the SD card, it will unzip/pack the files and prompt you to press the power button to update or action button to cancel. Unfortunately, it hangs here. (boooo!)
WOAH! After trying to install RC29 via <CAM>+PWR, it finally took. (and after soft reboot, wouldn't start back up… letting it cooldown now)
<HOME>+PWR hangs @ G1 (full good battery, USB physically connected to PC, no SD card)
<HOME>+PWR hangs again @ G1 (full batt, USB Physical→PC, SD card has engineering SPL (update.zip)) <sigh>
Perhaps recovery image is hosed?
<BACK>+PWR hangs at rainbow screen (full batt, USB Physical→PC, SD card has engineering SPL (update.zip))
Installed Official 1.6 android DREAIMG.NBH via <CAM>+PWR and although it took the image, it still hangs at “G1” on boot.

This phone ended up being a parts phone. speaker went into phone 1. Extra battery was shot. (bulging)
It looks like the SD card slot isn't reading cards.
Currently has Phone 3 mobo (no touchscreen support - follows mobo) The touchscreen issue MIGHT be software related.
Phone is currently working (minus the touchscreen), UNLOCKED, and running vanilla RC29
USB Debugging is enabled & ADB works

Tried several screens and digitizers troubleshooting the touchscreen not working. Swapped motherboards with Phone 1 and the “touchscreen not working” followed the motherboard. This phone now works!

USB debugging is enabled on this (now working) phone. (USB debugging was enabled on the Phone 1 mobo, and that feature follows the mobo)
