Ok, I'm gonna try to keep this as simple and easy as possible.
I bought my phone in March. Off contract, one year warranty. Golden.
Dropped it in June. Nasty scratches all along the BACK of the phone, so I took the opportunity to replace the colour from black to grey. Everything went smoothly and I was very satisfied.
Ran into some account issues that for some reason wouldn't be solved easily. Tried to do them properly, but got annoyed and said
F*** this, let's just factory reset the phone.
Spinning cogs for 5 minutes, then 15 minutes, then 4 hours, then 3 days. Started doing all possible hardware resets and button combinations. Nothing. Tried to reflash the OS with Nokia Care Suite. Found out it's now locked.
Here's the situation at this very moment:
-Phone does not boot past Nokia logo or cogs.
-Cannot get to the exclamation mark screen.
-No warranty, hardware change voided it.
-Microsoft Store gave up, said buy a 1020 instead.
-Carrier "Rogers" refuses to fix it due to voided warranty.
-No service shops nearby.
Any ideas? I pretty much gave up on the phone, I just don't have another 600 dollars for another.
