[Q] My G2 won't turn on. Have I bricked it?

---

Hello, I'm sorry to be posting on a matter like this, but can someone please help me?

Before you read, let me clarify a few things: I am not a noob when it comes to the rooting scene. I'm an avid Linux user, and I know most of the key commands, I've rooted both my HTC Magic and HTC Dream without using a one-click app like SuperOneClick or Z4Root, I did it all from scratch. I'm well aware of the dangers that come with rooting, and I always take special precautions when it comes to flashing certain stuff. The only custom ROMs I've used are Virtuous and Cyanogenmod.

I've had my G2 for a little less than a full month. I perma-rooted it, I got S-OFF on it, and all that stuff. Today, I was attempting to unroot my G2 using theunlockr's tutorial, however after i finished entering the last mmcblk0p17 command, and I turned the device off, I accidentally tripped on the charging cord, and it came off. The charging LED still was orange even though the cable wasn't connected.

When I tried turning the phone on into HBoot mode, it wouldn't boot up.
When I tried turning on the device regularly, it's not turning on either.

I tried a few battery pulls, and I left the device untouched for a few hours, and still nothing. Is there a chance I bricked my device? Or is it one of the G2's many dysfunctions that I've read about on the community forums when I was searching for a solution to my problems.

All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Sounds like you bricked it if something happened while it was writing to a partition.

Really? so there's nothing I can do?

I wonder why it won't turn on though. I kind of did the same thing but I had my battery fully charged. I guess since it won't turn on am guessing that something happened during the flashing of stock Rom process but still you should still be able to power up your phone. Did it drop when you triped?

Uh, care to help me out?

In this situation, I would try all that stuff again. If still no luck.. call T-Mobile and play dumb. If the phone is bricked, that's your only recourse and it does work most of the time. GL.

Try pluging the charger for a while and then try to turn it on

Thanks for the advice.
I'm getting my HTC Vision replaced in a few days, after an hour with some ghetto-ass customer service lady

While we're on the topic, does anyone care to explain to me what a "rassclot" and a "battymon" is? because after i was done with customer service, the lady called me a rassclot battymon.

I'm sure I can get T-Mo in hot water for this.

I think so too...

I little Googling turns up that these are Jamaican terms for F**k and F*gg*t
