    Take out the battery. Wait a few minutes. Put the battery back in. See if that works.

    Thats a motorola bootloader init screen. I don't remember you having an E-815.

    Means the firmware is shot. You get it wet?

    You can have it reloaded, you'll probably lose a lot though

    heh, no i had a shittastic razr. no, not wetness. it was flashing and wouldnt turn on so i turned it off by removing the battery and then when i put it back in, bootloader loved me. so i looked it up on a few forums and they all said the same thing, get to vzon store. so i did, and yup, they replaced it, firmware shot, and i lost everything. i brought my old old (2 ago) phone, and they copied some of my older numbers from that, but nothing within the last year. *sigh* i think that's my three bad things. thanks for the help guys.

    Love it!

    Y'know... my phone crashes a lot... and I came to the realization...

    MY PHONE fucking -crashes-.

    What has technology come to when I can't make a call because my firmware failed? I mean, really...

    Best thing I did - I have one of those SUPER cheap ($80 WITH sim card!) phones and I just replace my SIM whenever my other phone crashes/dies... so I still have my SMSs, my call history and my address book. Because super cheap phone also has a 4 day used-all-day battery life... my fancy shmancy CRASHING phone? 2 hours used, 1 1/2 days never used.
