Wait until the ACTUAL TP2 unlocker comes out and see if anything it can do will unbrick your phone.

My suggestion would be the same. Sorry to hear that man.

For kicks, you could try removing the battery and the SIM card for 10 minutes. Replace them and try to start the phone. However, the above is probably your best bet at this point. Aside from paying an insurance deductible and getting a new one. Since it was your fault, getting a free replacement would just be wrong!

lol, well his phone wasn't lost or stolen, so I don't think a deductible would be necessary.

Yeah dude, that sucks. You are definetely going to need to get another phone. Hopefully you have Asurion insurance. I don't think Metro PCS actually sells that phone do they?

Be sure to do tons and tons of research before doing anything with something that has the potential to mess up your expensive device.

You might also try to see if you can get the phone to enter Bootloader mode.

To do this with the device off, press the power button while holding down the Volume Down button.

If you can successfully enter Bootloader mode, you may be able to reflash the stock rom from there. It's a longshot that it will boot into bootloader, but definitely worth a try.

Pretty awesome if the OP responded about gaining access to Bootloader or not

Yeah, I think he posted and then went to go cry. Just kidding. I figure all I can do is provide what little advice I have and he will check in when he gets back to it.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling that he has bricked his SPL. Since that is the Secondary Program Loader, he may be screwed. As that is what essentially brings up a bootloader screen and allows the OS to sequentially be loaded. However, if by some stroke of luck, it works, that would be nice to hear.

how would he flash this?
i don't get it the SSPL wouldn't run there fore the HSPL wouldn't flash as the phone is still locked and would not accept a third party SPL unless its booted to a SSPL first.

im guessing ti crashed booting to SSPL and if he pulls the battery it will be fine.

Words of wisdom Juggalo. You definitely know better then I do. What you said, makes perfect sense. Guess we'll know how it's going, when he gets back on.
