Can't get into bootloader mode (help!!!) - Page 2

You're in download mode.

It seems like this is happening more and more. The bootloader on your phone is gone. There is currently no fix for this at this time. Sorry but you're going to have to get a replacement. You have insurance, right?

Yes, TEP. What do I need to tell them?

I'm reading some more and someone thinks they can fix these with something called JTAG interface but there's nothing going on with it yet.

Yes i do believe he has insurance, and mrbawm would you care to elaborate on how you ended up with the dreaded "download mode"

my understanding is the JTAG is still a work in progress, but i've seen mention of it in a few places, in fact there was someone looking for the donation of a mogul in this state in a thread right here on PPCgeeks that I read recently...

*edit*

here's where it was -> http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...815#post243815

Yeah but the JTAG is an unrealistic solution. It involves people actually opening up their devices... lol.

Anyway, if you have TEP, I'd honestly just call Asurion and pay the 50 dollars. You're gonna have much less hassle than dealing with Sprint. Asurion was real painless when my 6700 went out... at least as far as getting me another 6700. The fact that the 6700 I got was still jacked up is besides the point.

Thanks so much for everyone's help.

Just be careful with the kitchen. I think G'Reloc didn't run properly and it produced a broken ROM.

You shouldn't need to pay the insurance deductible. Take it to a Sprint Repair store and just say, truthfully of course, "It won't turn on". They should replace it.

This one for some reason doesn't seem the same to me. I definitely have never gotten anywhere near a splash screen and a broken rom will not get you stuck in download mode. I think this one can probably be repaired, but i'm not sure what it would need at this point.
