Bricked

[w5cyc]

So I tried to unroot and return to stock tonight using the one-click method described on xda. Was tired on constant reboots on ICS roms. Followed the instructions, ran the program, its went through all the scripts, etc., then the program window shut down. 10 minutes later, the phone was still stuck on the black screen with a white Google. Won't do anything from there. Have to pull the battery to power it down. It will come back up in recovery, but choosing any of the options -- reboot or recovery -- gets you nothing except the black screen with the white Google.

Help?

Just flash a new Recovery Img on to the device or put it into Download Mode and use ODIN to restore it

Not sure how to flash a recovery image since the computer won't recognize the device

Thanks for the suggestions. I just took the phone to Sprint for service, and they swapped it out. They couldn't do anything with the bricked unit either. At least when you booted into recovery mode, it showed the bootloader to be locked, so they never asked once if the device had been rooted. Think I'll just stay stock with the new phone until the OTA ICS release, which shouldn't be long now *snicker*.

Just for future reference learn to use fastboot, it will help you in the future. Also your device wasn't bricked sounds like the system partition was fubared nothing major. Anyways good luck.
