Root 1337 needed Purple S.O.D Ascend Reset Help

So I have two Ascend Phones. One the USB is jacked will not even take a charge, and has a busted screen. I'm on the internet with it hardwired to usb on the + - where the battery goes.


The other should be fine and dandy.

Current Build (06242011) from PlayfulGod: CM7.1-Ascend-06242011_signed.zip (Also available through ROM Manager)

md5sum: bc4756d69b81e7cdf02a3a04592453b4

[ROM] CM7.1-Ascend Current (Build 06242011))

I flashed 2.3.3 on the one that is locked. I think where I messed up was I didn't partion the SD folder, and now the phone is out of memory and hard locked. Cause it was working great till I started downloading a ton of apps, and then the battery ran out of juice. After I charged it, it has not booted back up again fully.

If I do the Volume-Up end or Volme-down end to get into reset. My phone goes purple screen. From what I understand purple screen of death stands for memory.

Now when I turn my phone on it goes to the normal huawei screen, then to the next ascend screen where it's locked up and will not go any farther.

I have downloaded the factory sd-card reset and put it in the /dload folder like you are supposed to do, and it does nothing but a purple screen. I've tapped all over the screen swipped all over. Let it sit for hours like this nothing.

Now if I push power then hit voume up-end it stays white like it is supposed too. But my PC never sees it too install clockworkmod onto it.


ANy ideas?

Can I open my phone, and desolder something too dump the memory? I'm out of ideas?



next best step would be for me too replace the USB end on my other phone, and replace the screen from this one. IDK if I have too go back to cricket to pay my 15 dollars to swap phones again, or is there an unlock code I can use to move my phone number back to the other phone?
 
So, with the unzipped dload folder (with only the UPDATA.APP file in it) in the root directory of your sdcard, holding volume up+end button (rightmost button on bottom) then hitting power, it doesn't do the factory reset for you? No matter how bad I screw up my phone, I can always make that work for me (though sometimes I'm not holding the buttons in right, hitting two buttons on the bottom by accident, etc. and it doesn't work right.) And if you're doing this, you must have Cricket, right? Cause Metro is a different process.

Do I need too tap anything if it goes into this recovery? Like I shown in the video...purple screen of death.

Is this the correct file?

PDF says it is, winrar says he file is ok....

I've tried it in dload
I've tried it in the normal sd slot

I've tried it in the m118? In dload.

Can I unpack the app(is it available somewhere?) and put it in the \dload\m118\ folder?



I'm about too pull the screen, install it on the one that is busted. desoder the bad usb connector, and add a NORMAL mini usb to it.

Can I switch my number back over to the other phone with ease without having to go to cricket? It's a 20mile drive.....plus 15 bucks
 
Here is where I always get it. After downloading and unzipping, I go a couple folders down and copy the dload folder to the root of my sdcard. However, if you don't have the right folder, you should at least get to the update screen, even if it shows unsuccessful, by holding the vol up+end buttons with the power button. You can wait to hear from some of the others, but your phone seems damaged to me.
