Help! Trying not to brick - tricolor screen - error 260

rufusdog · #1 (**permalink**) 12-02-2008, 11:04 PM

So, I decided to take the plunge and unlock my phone. Unfortunately, I tried using an XP install running in VMware (genius, I know.)

The process started, then I got Error 260 and can't get anything to work anymore. The screen on my phone now says

Security Unlocked
...
...
USB

and the background is the tricolor screen.

I can't get anything to work. If I try restarting the program, I get error 260...

What should I do? I haven't tried restarting or anything yet, because I'm afraid I'm going to brick my damn phone...

Help!

Thanks.

That's not going to doom my phone?

Edit: Guess I have to have a little more faith. Hard reset worked, and the phone is still alive...

Sorry to post such a pointless thread. I couldn't help but think back to doing things like flashing new PSP firmware, when hitting reset in the middle was about the worst thing you could do.

soft reset could have fixed it also......
