Long story short.... Was running the kings alliance "the breed" rom, was having issues with 4g, and was told to flash the wimax.zip, wiped cache, and dalvik, and flashed, went thru the process, and said phone needs to reboot to complete setup, so I rebooted, and its now been stuck on the update screen (pic of phone with green arrows) for over an hour... I tried pulling the battery ( i know.... but after an hour, it was obvious something wasnt right), and tried to get into hboot, with no luck... goes right back to the update screen...
So... am I really bricked? I have read that if the phone turns on at all, its not truly bricked, but have also read, that if u cant get into booloader, I'm S.O.L.... So which is it? I would have no moral issue with bringing in to sprint for replacement ( if not for their terrible customer service, and refusal to fix the issues with their ota gb update, I would not have been rooted, and messing around in the 1st place), but I dont wanna bring it to them just to hear, o you rooted, and blah blah...buy a new phone....
So... can I fix my phone? Should I bring it in to them? or should I just "loose" it and finally use the insurance I been payin $7/mo for last 2 years? Keep in mind, i think it will be a $200 charge for the insurance thing, so I'd prefer free
