my phone recently stopped working, whenever i power it on, it shows the verizon screen, sits there for a minute, then says "no radio", and just sits on that screen. i cant even power it off unless i take the battery out.
I have tried hard resets, taking the battery out, and even doing the reformat, but it still wont work. does anyone have any thoughts?

You have to press and HOLD both camera and power buttons. While keeping those buttons down (and don't let go!), press the reset button with your stylus and then pull the stylus out - all the while still hoding down the power and camera buttons until the multicolor boot screen comes up. Then follow the other directions above...

Though you seem to be gone from this forum now, smaug, I've clicked your 1st 'Thanks' rep for the way you emphasized the key presses needed to get into bootloader mode. Was having the hardest time with a very stubborn dead Vogue from eBay. What finally worked was sort of pressing all 3 buttons as close to simultaneously as physically possible, and then releasing reset button while still holding other two. Your wording helped me toward success. Thanks.
