I guess I'll post in xda; they're more helpful over there. I wasn't trying to bring out the idiots infuriated over the unlocker; I was just trying to gain some insight to try to fix my phone.

right... and we didn't answer your question? you phone is screwed and you need to file a claim. 'nuff said no room for debate. if you wanna keep it, it's a gorgeous paperweight.

Sorry; yes, yours was the only worthwhile suggestion. I'm still trying to hard reset, but since I've not done it with this device I don't even know if I'm doing it correctly.

By the way, my question wasn't what to do about filing a claim; that's a last resort. I have insurance, and I will try that if nothing else works.

to put it into bootloader, power+volume down while poking the soft reset hole. considering there's no official unlocker yet, however, i don't think there's any chance as of right now because chances are you nuked the stock SPL

Turn device off.. hold vol down and power.. should get you on the colors screen (bootloader)

Hold bot Send+End and power to hard reset..

I just want to get it to power on at this point.

have you tried the hard reset combo? right now bootloader mode won't do much for you without the unlocker and even then it's a tossup. hold down on the talk and end keys at the same time, then hold the power button in for like 5 seconds. tell me what happens
