So I am supposed to be selling my phone today so I did a fresh wipe, well like the idiot I am I wiped the guys phone number that I was supposed to meet to sell the phone. Well my genius room mate decided he knew how to get it back, so he does some Nand? restore, it froze and he pulled the battery and now all I get is a black screen. Any ideas?
 
Sometimes it takes a while depending on what ROM you did the backup on. Noteably, the EvilEris ROM takes 5-7 minutes (or perhaps a little longer) sometimes; if that's the one you're running. Give it a little time and see what the result is.

*EDIT* As a way to retrieve the phone number, you could logon to your Verizon account and look back through your call history, and maybe isolate the number based upon time/date.

Thanks, I got it fixed, but all of me and the other guys communications were through text messages.
