Flash the boot.img and recovery. Img in the control bear folder to do it you must :
1- hold ctrl + shift and right click the control bear folder.
2-select open command prompt
3-type "control bear -r"
4-it will restore your phone

No. If its in that USB mode, its qcdl mode which is a brick. What did use for the wire trick, did you touch the point on the wire where it contacts the point in between tries without grounding yourself out? Go to #juopunutbear and ask for help but NOT in a frantic manner. You will probably need to RMA it. Yes, they will fix it for free, even if unlocked.

Yep, after some research it appears that touching the un-insulated wire caused this. Also it appears to have happened to a lot of people, mostly on the sensation. Looks like many of the instructions don't mention this precaution, and lots of the videos show people touching the wire un-insulated. Probably gonna be lots more bricks imo

Well anytime your shorting contact points there is a big risk...the instructions clearly say insulated....electro-static discharge is electronics worst nightmare....

actually, the instructions on unlimited.io say do not touch the contact point of the wire. You can touch the grounded part.

That's a cool little hack. I'd like to try that myself

If you extract your hboot you can just edit in a text editor to anything you want. I think you might have to keep the same number of characters, so you'd need to use spaces, but I don't know.

Keep in mind that the Juopunutbear folks put a lot of effort into their hack, so they might take offense at removing their branding, though I have no idea if that is true. I believe that Indirect has some relationship with that group, so I think it might be different for him.

YMMV

i managed this today after 15 tries... but i had to manually do adb reboot oem-78
