Okay so sorry if this is long and drawn out... But I don't want anyone to think that I have have not been researching and trying to find my own answers. The DX is the first "real phone" I have every had, and I am a new to all of this... But I gave it a try... This is where I am at.
So I got the DX as my first Smart Phone. I learned about android not to long ago (August) and was really impressed. After having it for a little while my mind started to race about what the DX can really do. I learned about rooting, but was to nervous to do it because I was not comfortable because I am not phone savvy, and much of the language is new to me. Spending most of September researching and waiting for 2.2 to come out I Updated over the air...
In end of October I decided to take my first plunge with rooting and SU capabilities. I tried the easy root, and had no success. It would not just root. Finally I used DoRootForWindows.zip. With surprise it worked. I was super excited, and downloaded root explorer, CPU for root. Got rid of some of the bloatware that I was I hated Verizon from locking onto my Phone....
The I decided to try and install a Custom Rom Birdman's Fly X... I downloaded the Rom Manager--- Free Version--- (Didn't realize that I was supposed to get the paid), Downloaded bootstrap... And followed instructions... Except I didn't really understand what flashing was.....
This is where something went WRONG!!! Okay now I was freaking out phone went into recovery mode, didn't know what to do. Did a factory reset trying to get rid of everything.... I got it to reboot once.... Researched as to what I had to do to fix my situation... Not it working but my phone wouldn't activate... It just said Verizon doesn't want anything to do with you... Call to talk to some during our hours of operation... Scared of going through a day without my DX... Finally found something about reflashing the 2.2 from ROTOzip.com... downloaded but, still held back from flashing.
Couldn't get to Bootloader mode yet either messed around with recovery, mounted everything, and the phone wouldn't load past the (M) screen... Finally I figured out how to get to bootloader I wasted all my battery phone was to low for bootloader to run tried flashing multiple roms that were supposed to work with RSD Light, and nothing said flash failed, and received this error:
Critical Error
1337
501B
The ROM that I was trying to flash was incorrect. I had to use the method of splicing one of my chargers from the USB and hooking it to my battery, to get power once I learned how to use RSD Lite 4.7. I used the file . ZIP file titled the Gift for I believe the 2.2 .SBF?! (Let me know if this will pass the test) phone will be here Monday. .... Rotowiki.... And it worked. I got activated, and I have a new phone in the mail from Verizon... as we speak... No more SU, no more root.... I believe... I am running good but my Verizon battery is no longer being recognized. meaning no charging... It is real. I thought that I may have fried it from the splicing and I took it to Verizon they replaced it same problem...
Does anyone know what could have caused it and a Fix. I just want to have a factory reset phone to send back so my warranty is not broken. Honestly besides the charging I would keep the one I had... But they are sending me a new one...
Sorry so long... hope someone may have some insight into how to fix... and if I did the procedure right.
Here is my problem and is there a solution? Will Verizon know I did all of this... Is my warranty still good?
