bootloader usb init?
Last week, I took a couple days off work to take the Wife and Kids to Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO for a mini vacation. My in-laws went with us, and helped watch the kids so we could actually ride some rides. Unfortunately, we had a casualty. My Razr phone got a little damp soaked on a ride that was a bit wetter than I anticipated.
After it dried out, it would boot, then show “bootloader usb init” in the display. I read somewhere that you could clear that error by pressing # + * when turning it on, but that didn’t work. The Alltel rep said the phone was hosed and all I could do is get a new one. Because I’m still under contract and didn’t have insurance on the phone, I’d have to pay full retail price.
Retail price on the cheapest phone he had was $140. Retail price on another Razr: $360. No thanks. Instead, I stole my wife’s Razr and had my phone number moved to it. Problem solved!
