HELP!!! Bootloader reboot cycle!

[timgt]

Just do this, Hold down the "volume down" button and the "windows start menu" button, while holding these 2 down hit the power button up top. The phone will go to a multi colored page that says serial at the bottom

Now plug in your USB cable and it will switch to USB from serial. You can at this point flash a good ROM, whether it be stock or something else.

Ive thought I have bricked my phone many times but this always works to get a good ROM back on it and was kinda hard to find the button combination that worked (actually found it myself by accident).

Good luck

I've had it on the charger with the cover on for a good 8 hours and it sitll won't reach a full charge...

Time to take it in sounds like that is actually "Bricked".

On Verizon: Vol dwn + snd + end + Reset(under battery cover). It will then prompt you to press the vol up button to clear memory and then snd to commit.

Holy Crap, I didn't know this could be made difficult. Technically you are both right. The key is that Vol dwn + snd + end are pressed while the phone is booting. You can accomplish this by:

- Removing the battery and then holding the keys while reinserting battery
- Soft-resetting via program like psShutXP and holding keys down
- Vol dwn + snd + end + Reset

Does that clear it up?
