I tried to power cycle the phone, now it won't power on at all.

Damn. I don't hack my phones, I don't root, I don't screw with bootloaders or recovery files or any of that stuff. And my phone still gets bricked. Well I might as well hack the hell out of now.


OCCUPY BOOTLOADER!

Seriously, now I guess I have to swap my number to my aunt's old BB until my new phone gets here.

Just thought of this. Have you removed the sd card? Try to power up the phone with out the card in it.

[DJTURNz]

Just tried it. No change.

My new (refurb) X2 will be at my door tomorrow. Now I just got the update last week, what are the chances my new phone will be current?

I'm wondering if the battery was toast. Seems to be the only constant. Too bad you didn't have a spare battery to try.

They will ship him a referb without a battery so if the battery is the problem it will do the same thing on the new phone.

[srvctec]

Good point. Forgot refurbs came without batteries.

Well my replacement arrived. But I couldn't get it activated. While the *228 call was going through, I kept hearing a beep. And the activation kept hanging up.


I finally got through to customer service and they got me to a technician. He told me how to bypass the activation and get into the phone to do a hard reset. It turns out, the assisted dialing was enabled and it kept "pushing" the 1 like every 5 seconds.


Then it worked. Then the tech called me 5 minutes later to make sure it worked. He then told me he'd take another call and then call me again to see if I was having any more issues.


So far, so good. I hate the fact that I have to set it all up again and figure out all the apps I used to use. I had some widgets that I don't recall what they were called. I also found that some of my apps are on the market, but when I try to install, it says denied because app was removed from the market.

Bummer when you have to start all over. I guess on the positive side of things, you might find other apps you wouldn't have otherwise! Hey, you might want to write down a list of the stuff you loaded in case this happens again. I think I might do the same.

Or just download one of the many apps from the market that will list your apps for you so you don't have to write them down. I use one called App List. I also use a great app that backs up all the .apk files (apps) on your phone called OnTheFly Backup. Both of these are free.
