aigght bro good luck this is the best way to do it as it gives you a clean slate now I ahve to go get ready with work Good luck BRO

Alright, after SBF'ing will I be able to use any backups I had saved?

Phone will be stock. You will need to start over, but any backups you have saved to the SD card will still be there. Once you are rooted and have recovery installed again you can use them, provided the numbers match.

 

[furbearingmammal]

Okay, strike the numbers matching thing.

Clean slate. Start afresh.

I am a few beers deep and have never sbf'ed but i'm sure me and fbm can get you through it. The first link fbm posted is the place I was going to send you. I think you're looking for wednesdays class on sbf.

I'm trying to do WoZzY's advice to do up and power with the battery out while plugged into my computer via usb and it isn't doing anything.

 

[furbearingmammal]

Also, read that link I sent you about using RSD Lite the right way. There's real brick-potential in flashing like this. Like Wozzy said, read the directions at least twice.

 

[furbearingmammal]

Ah, try putting the battery back in while holding the d-pad down. Might just jumpstart things.

I need to start stalking you guys on here to learn as much as possible! OP, not only did Spaz come through, FBM, AND WoZzY are here (and among the best IMO)!! :dancedroid:

Awesome. My internet is pretty slow so I'm still waiting for the SBF download to finish. Let's say worst comes to worst and I have to bring it to Verizon. In it's current state, could they figure out it's rooted, or would they give up and give me a new one?

 

[furbearingmammal]

They'd replace the phone, but that's insurance fraud.

 

[spaz33g]

It shouldn't come to that. There's an sbf available and your phone will get to the M. We can get you through it.

+1! If these two can't get it back, its not going to happen.
