well stupid me thought i had the right usb cord to use on my moment that i just got turns out it doesn't fit. i put it into the bootloader or whatever it is called for the moment and after finding out i didn't have the right cord i took the battery out and tried to turn it back on and it just sits on the android screen and does nothing forever. what can i do. is there something i can load on the sd card from my computer to fix it. i am not a newbie to flashing i flashed my wm phones constantly just new to the android world. i just got the moment as my first android phone.

anyone know anything? it doesn't do anything when i hold talk+volume down+end key. it will go on the samsung logo and the load bar will just keep reseting itself. is there any way to do anything with my sd card? please help me i had to activate a stupid lg rumor untill i can figure this out. i went to walmart last night looking for a cable and they didn't have any. i ordered one off ebay for 5 dollars but it will be a week before i see it. it will be torture having my new phone just sitting in front of me not being able to use it.

PLEASE HELP, I DON'T WANT TO SIT IN A STUPID REPAIR CENTER FOR TWO HOURS WAITING TO BE SEEN. the only repair center i have close to me is always packed with people. there is always a super long wait to be seen.

yea, i downloaded that. the first one(downloadmode) said it installed fine, the second one (recovery) keeps giving me an error. even with the download one saying it installed it still won't read. it gives me an error when i plug in the phone to the usb port. i don't understand though the post says you don't need to run setup, just point to the root folder. it never asked me anything about which folders to use so i used the setup files

i am using 64bit version of windows7
