    Oh my god!! YOU ROCK!!!! My Q turned to a rock everytime I started it up. It did it whenever it checked battery power. The whole thing would just freeze. If this didn't work I was going to hard restart it with a baseball bat and a .22. But it worked and you rock.

    I'm always removing the battery from my phone and now it suddenly doesn't work. I guess I "bricked" it. All I get is the Verizon title screen followed by flashing vertical bars on top of the title screen.

    I have reset my phone before by doing this and I couldn't remember. My phone has frozen again but now it is not working. It is stuck on the Windows Mobile screen and won't let me even get to the question of if I want to reset it. Can you help me?
