I think I may have bricked my TouchPro. Any thoughts or suggestions on this:
The phone is/was running a custom ROM(SSK 1.5). I was testing out an application called mSafe( http://www.motionapps.com/product/msafe/). It is a remote lock/wipe software. The Remote lock worked fine and I attempted the remote wipe (after a full backup via Sprite). The phone is now stuck at the 'Verizon Wireless' boot screen saying
"Please wait, phone starting up"
It has been stuck like that for over an hour. I performed a soft-rest via the reset button on the bottom, and it returns to the same screen. The phone will NOT power-off unless I remove the battery at this point.
I tried a hard-reset by pressing both volume-up and volume-down buttons while pressing the reset button. This had no effect the phone seems frozen in as soon as it hits the start up screen.
Help?

You're not bricked until the screen won't turn on...don't worry
The first thing I would try is a hard reset...they way to do this on the Verizon Touch Pro is to Hold the Center Dpad button, and press the reset hole, keep holding the Center Dpad until you see instructions on screen.
Sometimes this takes people a few tries to get it to work.
If that does not work, we have a couple other things that can be done.
