Re: Help asap!! Plz

Remove battery, put phone and battery in a bowl of rice, try to put both in center so rice will evenly absorb moisture and pray

The little water indicator on the battery is supposed to be a pattern, white background with red/pink x's criss crossing. If the entire little area is all red/pink they will claim water damage and not exchange.

 

[sleepyrey]

well it has a white background and pink/red x's criss cross

am thinkin going to VZW and get another HTC thunderbolt do you think they will give me another one?

thanks

Maybe the battery drained when you left it in your car? I don't see how leaving your windows slightly open would soak the phone. Was the inside of the car drenched? Around the phone? Was there any moisture at all on the phone. If not plug it in and let it charge.

i would also suspect a dead battery.

 

[sleepyrey]

well i charge my phone but when i wanted to turn on you can see the backlight but you cant see nothing ( if that makes any sense)

 

[yodatom10]

So it powers on but the display is not working

 

[sleepyrey]

You mean you called Asurion? Or VZW?

Asurion for Insurance and VZW for Warranty, right?

Well my screen just. Turn on but my usb is not working so I can unroot it

What should I do ?

Do you have a computer with a sd card reader or an externel card reader? Take your card out of the phone and place the two zips from the unroot method onto the card and unroot the phone. It sounds like your phone is slowly coming back to life but I wouldn't be surprised if it bricks on you in a week or two from the previous damage.

Do you know how to unroot the phone?

 

[sleepyrey]

yea my computer does have and sd card reader

but i dont know how to unroot
