My evo [is messed up]

a few days back my power button started to take on a mind of its own.
took it into the sprint store and the chick told me to basically **** off because im rooted.came home and tried to flash back to stock,but because my power button does what it wants,im never able to get to recovery.
any advice?

If you take off the housing you can gain access to power button and flash to stock. Or pay $100 to assurion

PS. Goto another sprint store to avoid a red flag from the chick you spoke with. Because they will go out their way to prove root etc.

re: My evo [is messed up]

But... Yeah... Basically she's right... They tell us not to root... And if we do... They don't have to help us.
So it's alwyays advisable to flash back to stock before going into the repair center.

Good luck bro.

re: My evo [is messed up]

Sorry if this seems obvious but did you install Quick Boot? This will get you to recovery without using the power button. You will most likely still have issues selecting options if the button is screwed up but at least you can access recovery. good luck.
