Root !!!!!!i think im truely bricked!!!!<---------------------------------------

yea i believe i can find all that on xda... all the files for the hboots and all that. i hope i can find them. and okay i understand that a little better then. The PC36IMG file is the thing thatll geet me back to stock?
There are links to all of the steps and files in the Rooting for Dummies guide under "unrooting" in the After Rooting section. The PC36IMG file will return your phone to "out of the box" stock. It will be just like you turned it on for the first time.

has anyone ever really been bricked in one of these threads?

I haven't yet seen one unless it had hardware issues, but I haven't been around as long as some. I think the only phones I have seen bricked were due to flashing GSM radios on a CDMA phone(Sprint Hero). Usually, they are recoverable as long as you can power them up and your pc recognizes it from what I have seen

I always wonder the same thing. Whenever I see one of these threads I always read them for 2 reasons;


1. I want to learn as much as I can about resolving issues, so if I should ever have one I might know what to do.

2. To watch the OP's panic level be at 100, then by the end of the thread be at 0, due to the issue being resolved.

This forum really is awesome about helping people, and they dont make you feel like an idiot for posting a question about rooting or anything else for that matter.

I actually just got it back from a technician and he says this in his sticky note on the phone.
"Need recovery
using ruu in bootloader
then flash rom"
I cant get into recovery because when i turn it on (volume down and power) its the black screen with the triangles in each corner.
but then when i plug it in my computer cant find it
then when i unplug it im at that white screen with just ruu.

ok this is a good one...need to get extremdays back up.. or akazabam.. he fixed one other day with the 4 triangle screen.... very impressive guy.....just be patient some one will be in.... I think aka called it a broke recovery and you have to either flash a new one or finish the current one.... you would not happen to have sdk set up do.....
