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 :mrgreen:

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.

Thank you!! I got it back and running now. I don't know if that is how the Remote-Wipe software is supposed to work but it certainly freaked me out!

Glad it worked...that is the less painful method..the next step would have been to try the SD boot like Nimdock was talking about.

That is probably how it is supposed to operate...it deleted everything from the memory and made you restore from the ROM. Sounds like it works pretty well :mrgreen:

Yeah, I got ahead of myself and thought that he had already performed the hard reset. If I had read more carefully I would have realized that there was no hay he had performed it. :)

wish i could find what i need, but after extensive searching i can't quite even come up with a good search term.

when i get an SMS and click into read it and then out quickly it doesn't update and it still is unread. or if i get multiple sms while in the sms and don't respond and press ok then there are 2, 3, etc that i have to click the sms and then click ok for each one.this is on threaded sms. using B2B rom. i know its hear in the forums i think i saw it in this thread but i just can't locate it now on what is causing it.

I honestly would like to help you out, but I can't make any sense of this post at all. I've been hoping somebody else would have been able to interpret it by now. Lets start with the basics.

1. I believe the B2B flash had issues with SMS for sprint users, are you a sprint user? The B2B is documented in the first sentence in the first thread of this post, but it doesn't cover every problem that existed.

2. The clicking into and out quickly.... Are you trying to access your SMS with touch flow? Are you sliding over to SMS then hit "all messages" ?

3. Have you tried a different ROM to see if the problem exists in it as well?

Anyone using the R4R theme?

I've been messing around with themes and liked the bottom scrolling bar from R4R. However upon messing a little I have discovered that my bubbles display double circles... I don't remember if that is the way it is supposed to be or if I have to do some more tweaking, hehe.

Would anyone please tell me if the bubble for the new text message is supposed to loook doubled like in the screenshot or if it's supposed to be only one circle?

Thanks!

Again, thanks to all the responses. I have a new question regarding Internet Explorer 6 Beta. After tinkering and tempting fate a few more times this afternoon, I have narrowed down the reason I'm not 100% head over heals in love(I'm only 99%) with the SSK 1.5 ROM is because IE6 Beta seems to be much slower than what was in SSK1.2 (which I used for a couple of days).

Unfortunately I don't know enough (yet) to replace new version of IE using the Kitchen. Any thoughts on how I would do this or why IE appears to render pages slower?

Nim, didn't you have SMS issues with 21015?
