New Phone - Bricked within hours

[CD95YJ]

Try finding the sbf for your phone from either mydroidworld or xda-developers. You might be able to reflash the stock sbf and recover your phone. Im only familiar with the moto products, so give me a few minutes to see what I can find for you.

Um, I am finding nothing, no roms, no recovery, not much of anything... dude without something like motorolas rsdlite. I don't know how to help you out.

Yea, I think I may be screwd. I'm thinking all I can do now is maybe leave the battery out for a week or two and hope it resets to factory default. This being the mindset of thinking it's like a computer and the cmos will be flushed.

 

[Finalchrono]

Does anybody happen to know if this is possible and if so how long it would take?

ima do some research brb.

Ok try turning your phone off and doing this

the button combo is press and hold volume down + home + power and dont release any buttons until you're at recovery. Also this needs to be done when the phone is off, not on.

your battery idea will not work just saving you the headache. If you can not reboot into recovery see if vzw customer service, via phone, will let you use you extended warranty coverage to get a new vortex.

Not happening, some jackass tech guy at the verizon store immediately knew I rooted the phone and told me that I voided my warranty.

How exactly did he know?

 

[Finalchrono]

I don't know. He messed with it, tried to do the hard reset and asked me if I rooted it and I told him no. After that he said, "Don't lie to me, the only way this could have happened is if you rooted the phone."

 

[KingxDroid]

Try another store, or ask for another one

 

[Finalchrono]

I'm pretty sure it's on file that I voided my warranty. So, I doubt that'll work.

Honestly I think your best bet would be to go over to xda with your problem. The guys over there are amazing and have a lot of experience with all sorts of phones

manufacturer maybe but it should not effect your insurance....it would be no different if your car ran over it or you dropped it in water. A non working phone is a non working phone. I would talk to a vzw tech rep via phone not store. Your insurance that you pay an extra 7 bucks a month should cover you. You will just have to pay the deductible...be honest call vzw ant tell them you damaged your phone and would like to use the insurance and pay the deductible..do this over the phone. Do not go in the store for anything except to buy accessories.
