How do I bypass screen calibration: Touch Screen & Keyboard don't work...

My Mogul went for yet another swim but this time the touch screen and keyboard don't work and I need to relock the phone. I tried to flash the damn thing but it keeps coming up with the calibration screen. Is there any way to bypass the calibration screen so I can use it long enough to relock it?

Flash a rom that has it bypased, many customs do that, or you could create your own, there are threads on it. Seriously though your phone took a swim and the worst you're worried about is relocking it? if it got wet don't you have to pay the same deductible as losing it anyway? I don't see how they have more claim to deny you.

Thanks. I was just a bit worried about them denying the claim. I'll send it through as is and hope for the best.

Well, turns out to be a non-issue. Qwest doesn't want the phone back since it was covered by Asurion. I thought they would want the old one back for parts but I guess since it went for a swim at the beach they figured it won't be any good for parts.

Also,they sent me a new one--not reconditioned, per PST--I guess since they are just starting the process of converting everybody over to Verizon they're getting rid of their stock. It's a shame this phone won't be used for more than a couple of months before it gets put into a drawer somewhere.

I wonder if I could sell it to someone to flash to Cricket and use it with them?
