*EDIT* GOT A NEW PHONE SO THIS THREAD CAN BE CLOSED. THANKS.

So I pulled a stupid move and dropped my phone off of a deli counter. It's not the worst fall it's had so I don't really know what the deal is. I tried searching the site but didn't come up with anything like this(I will keep trying) Here's the chain of events to make it easier to read:

1) It was acting weird before when I tried to start Pocket Player, really slow. Then the screen went to sleep and I couldn't get it to wake up so I hit soft reset.

3) Went into the store thinking it's doing it's reset thing, then I knocked it off the counter when I went to pay.

Can't hard reset, tried all four ways on a page I found, or enter boot loader.

Not entirely sure what caused the freezing but I can't really see the soft reset doing it because I've done it so many times.

The next step is a repair place but the one I use(it's free) is a three hour round trip and I want to avoid it if I can. Any one know of any way to hard reset that isn't well known or have an idea what I should do? Thanks in advance.

have you pulled the battery and still failed at putting the phone into bootloader mode?

flashing the shipped ROM (.exe) to restore the phone should work, if you can get to the bootloader.

Couldn't get to boot loader, pulled the battery and what not. Actually got a new phone so this thread can be closed. Thanks for the reply, anyways.
