I Have "bricked" my phone!! HELP!
 

So before I begin, I will say it myself. Yes, I am a "noob" to this website and moderatley new to using my Apache. I have been waiting patiently for the 6800 coming out on the Verizon network, excited for WM6. Well, i ran out of patience and googled "Download WM6" and found hemi's ROM to it. I got excited and pushed the limits. Not being the seasoned programmer or "know how'ers" like most of you on this website, I jumped in and didnt set my phone to bootloader mode before i started. BAM!!! It happened, I bricked my phone(I think) and all it says now is "Serial V.2.02" and i cant hard or soft reset it. Is there anything i can do for my problem? :violent2:

try Flashing it back to a official rom from your carrier then start over again.

I agree. Run the "official" upgrade from your carrier and then plug in to PC with USB. Follow the instructions.
You are stuck in bootloader. It's not bricked.

I did, But also i have Vista. I know that might be a problem. My computer doesnt recognize it as my phone anymore.

Need Help still.
 

Ok, this is what I see. First when pressing the left softkey right softkey and the reset button on the bottom it says, "Reset to manufacturer default settings" Press "Y". So i do that, then im just back where i started, the "Serial v2.02" screen, it always goes back to that. And when i plugg it into my PC it says "USB". Thhen i tried to run the Helmi's ROM, (didnt work) and then i tried the Latest update from the Verizon website. I always get a "connection failed: 101" form the screens from the ROM. WTF? I need help!!!

I can assure you that your phone is not bricked. I had the same issue happen when I tried flashing in Vista one time. The main thing you are going to need here is a Windows XP machine. Once you have access to one, plug your phone in and run the official VZW Rom, it should boot afterwards. If it doesn't go here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=7049 and grab the uni_exitbootloader file. Unzip it, then disable activesync usb connections, and run uni_exitbootload.exe for whatever in the file you just downloaded. That will get it to boot.

ok ill try that! Hope it works and thanks for responding!
