Droid Took A Swim, Didn't Do So Well!!!

[jcboyett]

I was in my boat today and playing music over the speakers through my droid as I do in my car when my dumb*** got my ROOTed droid wet like it needed a bath. Phone barely turns on now, when it does I get no signal. I already took the steps to use RSDlite and go back to stock 2.0.1. Couldn't sign into google since theres no signal on my phone now. Screen looks like it's holding water. I guess my question is... is there anything thing else before I take this thang up to Verizon and file an insurance claim???

(I'm not entirely knowledgeable on the subject) But I would make sure the SD card doesn't have any remnants of rooting (update.zip, flash img, etc.). Maybe someone else can help you think of more things to check for before turning it in.

yeah, it won't be too hard to either fully erase erthang that's on the sdcard, or just take it out before I take it to them. They won't miss it. Another thing I was curious about was if verizon's insurance does protect water damage? Also, is it gonna be a big deal that it's on 2.0.1 and not 2.1???

I'm fairly certain if you're paying for insurance that it covers almost 100% everything (not bricking though ha), but you have to pay the deductible. I wouldn't imagine it being a big big deal that it wasn't 2.1, but if you can load up 2.1 OTA on it somehow that would probably reduce possible suspicion

no the 2.1/2.0.1 isnt a problem. also if you had insure than water should be covered so you are safe. and yes make sure to revert back to stock and just back up your sd card on your pc. rooting voids any warranties and even insurance in some cases

If you have insurance through assurion, you dont need to take it to verizon. Just call asurion and put in your claim. You will mail the phone back directly to them.
