So I dropped my phone in a bowl of soup... Yes lmao! But anyways my back cover save it big time, only the top half of my phone when in, I pulled the battery off, sim card and sd card, wipe it and I checked it and both water marks are still white then I put it in a bag with rice. 24 hrs later I put the battery in, it turned on and everything works, except it was showing the headphones icon, I clean out the headphone hole again, turn it off, turn it back on and it was gone, I unroot it just incase it started to act up I could swap it out.( i have insurace) It's been a full day and no issues
OK so my question is should I root it again now or wait to see if something stops working? I think by now something should of been affected already but what do you think?

if you have insurance and won't cost you anything to replace the phone, then use it.
Other than that, rooting or unrooting won't matter on a phone that's been dropped in water.

I'm sure he is asking about the rooting of the phone is cause trying to swap a phone with root/custom rom will not go well for him.

Sorry I guess I didn't make my question clear, what i was really asking was that my phone is working right now, but does my phone run a high risk of something going bad in the next few days or I'm just lucky and nothing broke?
Might be a dumb question but I never had any phone dropped in liquid so I'm not aware if the phone stops working right away or it takes a few days for it to go bad
Don't want to root and then something stops working and I won't be able to flash stock.

I would try to root it, after all it's dry now and everything functions.
Thanks, I wasn't sure if it takes a while for the phone to malfunction or not lol.

My experience has been if it turns on the next day its all good for many more bowls of soup lol. Or washer and dryer like my olllld bb
Making bad decision's one at a time.
Lmao, I hope it don't happen again lol, but yea everything working good, I haven't tried hdmi output, don't have a cable and I never used it lol, so I'll keep this phone. (rooted of course lol) till some thing else goes wrong, then ill swap it out, thanks for the replies

That is a default screen from APX mode, that is NOT from an OTA update and never will be.
Just pull the battery. It happens sometimes.
Alright, true enough.. did a battery pull..and nil.. sorry for any uproar.. lol back to patiently waiting.

I was on youtube listening to in dying arms and I kept getting email notifications in my status bar but when I opened my email no new emails were found. It sketched me out! I all paranoid with security and what not. Well I went to shut down my phone then reboot into recovery but it went into bootloop instead.
My phone would only go into bootloop as long as power was connected. Otherwise it was like it was completely dead(had full battery tho). I re-flashed cwmr and booted into it and restored.
I'm just going to wipe everything's and start fresh. That bugged me out!
Happen to anyone before? Anyone know a possible cause?

It happened to me once. Overheating was the culprit. I can't remember the app right now, but something I had installed was causing crazy issues. I removed it and have never had another problem.
Are you still on CM7?

Yeah I'm back to CM7. I was using CM9 but not being able use the cam corder or watch videos that were recorded on a cam corder was enough for me to go back to CM7!! CM7 randomly shuts off tho. It is a pain in my freaking butt!!!!!!!!
I might try eagles blood and see if this stops happening. Cuz I'm not beat for searching/combing through apps to see if one of them are the cause.
UPDATE: It may be a hardware issue. I was on the phone and put the person on speaker and placed the phone down and it reset. It was very lightly too. Come to think of it, anytime my phone reset it was in my pocket or somewhere I couldn't see the actual phone. So the back of the phone could have hit my thigh too hard and it could have shut down.

I'm using the New Clip mod of the Weapon Rom and have no issues right now. A lot of long time posters are still using it. Very stable. My other thought is swapping the battery at a Tmobile store. My wife's phone used to get hot and reboot when she used edmondo and the GPS. New battery fixed it. I still believe there was a bad batch of batteries with the initial launch.

This happens when I hit the back of the phone. Like if I place on the table, it will shut off. No overheating issues. Ill try a new battery first and report back here.

Fold a piece of paper a few times and put it in between your battery and the case. Could be the battery terminals losing contact briefly.

I am on Hellfire sand witch 1.6 Just wondering my phone will be sitting there and for no reason I am aware of it will awake or the screen will turn on and then go off over and over. At some point it will stop. It has happened while on other roms as well and on other g2x phones I have. Is there a reason why this is happening or am I doing something wrong or setting something wrong?

is it plugged in?
sometimes if your charger is not putting out the right voltage, the phone can switch between USB and AC which causes the phone to wake up for a second on some ROMs.
also, how does your power button look? (not broken, or really dirty or anything)
All looks fine and it happens when it's not charging. I'll have to keep an eye on it while charging it. The phones work fine they just do this every so often. I was not sure if It was a setting or something sence it was doing it on a couple of phones I have. Maybe it's just the nut behind the steering wheel is loose. I guess I'll figure it out sooner or later thanks for the info.

my gf's HD2 used to do the same thing after she dropped it pretty hard and it landed on the lower right hand corner
Maybe there's a magnet too close to it...
But nah I have no idea why it could be doing that other than hardware problem.
Thanks for the suggestions. The phones all work fine but I will check on if I have it near a magnet when I see it doing it again. I guess It's just one of those things.

Using the program here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835791
I tried to unlock my bootloader. Everything seemed to go fine until the program said the phone was rebooting.
The display went dark as if rebooting but never came back on. Since that moment I can't get the phone to power up at all. I can't get into recovery or download mode. The screen doesn't seem to even try to come on. The phone acts as if it has no battery installed even though the battery is there.
Anyone have any suggestions or do I have a legit brick?

Could be a major detail that some might overlook. That'd for sure do it. I got rid of my OG few weeks ago n I'm still stock so I wouldn't know this, but doesn't the process only take like 10 seconds if that? The actual flashing that's taking place. So it'd have to be quite the odds to lose juice in the middle of flashing. But wouldn't it be charging if its plugged in usb? I hope that my man who posted this gets it powered back up. Would be a major bummer otherwise.

That's pretty strange see if when you take your battery out of the phone if you can plug into the wall and boot.

Thanks everyone for the replies.
Yes I have tried it without the battery. Right now I'm letting it sit without any battery or power to it to allow all components to discharge. I'll try it again in a couple of minutes.
I'm beginning to think I've got a real live or rather dead brick.

Just to make sure you read and followed all steps right? This one seemed crucial
**** IF YOU HAVE ANY PROGRAMS THAT SYNC WITH YOUR PHONE THEY NEED TO BE UNINSTALLED OR NOT RUNNING BECAUSE THEY CAN CAUSE BRICKS, Pdanet, easytether, droid explorer, kies, etc., etc., on down the line. I repeat if you have a program on your computer that syncs with your phone, it is NOT COOL TO HAVE THAT RUNNING! ****
Just trying to narrow down what the hell could cause the device not to power back up, also how long did you leave the device plugged before disconnecting or pulling the battery. Did oden stop responding or say anything other then rebooting ?

Or instead of paying shipping plus not having a phone for a week or so, you could file an insurance claim... Haha. Last I checked Asurion was still giving new phones due to lack of refurbs.
I had to run out quickly earlier to get a new sim for my Thunderbolt so I can have a phone to use in the meantime. The sim I had for it didn't work.
Some good suggestions. Thanks everyone. I'll have to ponder my options few as they are.

Yeah but when Vzw gets it back do they then discover it was rooted and then charge me for breaking warranty? I've always wondered how much they could tell in a situation like this.

They don't have to get it. Say you dropped it off a boat and you couldn't save it. They don't need it for insurance.

I had this happen on an HTC phone one-time. No joke, but to fix it, I think it ended up holding down power + volume down or up and then put the battery in. I tried a bunch of combinations like that until it booted. Same thing when taking the battery out. Does the red light show when the phone is plugged in?
Hey I'm back with another question and was hoping for an answer I'm currently running absolution 3.7 and some times whenever I reboot my phone after charging it to 100% it boots and just says 0% and turns off. the only solution I found was to plug it into the charger and turn it back on and it would be fine. But I'm not always near my charger :/ I can't conclude if this has been happening on other roms since I stay with abso more than anything. I'm not undervolted or overclocked.

Make a backup.
Download rom again, check md5, full wipe (you should know how to by now ), flash rom, don't install, restore any apps. Wipe battery stats just in case. With nothing installed see if you can reproduce the issue.
Sent from a dream.
Well to reproduce it'd take time. I've only gotten this a few times like I said once in a blue moon. I ended up going into recovery where it said --% for my battery so I wiped the cache and dalvic. Rebooted. Powered off and rebooted once more and it worked but I was stressing because I was going away for awhile today haha xD but yes ill try what you said. Thanks I know I've had this before I moved (3 months ago) and have flashed multiple times. It could also be just the battery because it is swollen and I can't even pull it out xD its time for a different device just not in the budget :/ oh well lols

I've had this issue too. It's most common when I'm switching batteries.
I think it has something to do with the battery stats. My fix for it has been to either keep rebooting or pulling the battery until it recognizes it as 100, charge it for a second, or switch out the battery.
Really strange.
I can't pull my battery lol. But I tried rebooting a few times nothing worked so I wiped the cache and delvic cache and had to reboot a few more times and it worked. But I just don't like that this happens all time at bad times lol xD
