Has anyone found a solution to this yet? I am having the exact same problem, however, mine happened after an ics update i was told to put on my phone by some advice i was getting on a different forum site after i though it was bricked in the first place. I was stuck on the blue screen, but yet i could get to the pink download screen, however, i was told this update was guaranteed to fix it, NOT!
I been trying everything, have been without my phone for over three weeks now, but definitely since the update foe 48 hours since the phone has done nothing. Will not boot up, turn on, had that red light at the top right when plugged in, no longer there. Its been just a dead paper weight since this dang update. Can anyone help me, please! I cannot go out and purchase a brand new phone, and for Cricket, well they are a whole other story. I actually should have had insurance on this phone, added it when i got the phone, they also been collecting the extra $5.00 per month for the insurance, come to find out now that i really need it they said i do not have insurance, after pleading and arguing with them all they could do is apply a 100.00 credit towards my bill and 50.00 towards a brand new phone, however everyone knows that cricket stores do not carry any phones under $150.00. that's about how much my oldest daughter paid for this mercury for me. She paid exactly $150.00 as a present for me, So this phone actually has some sentimental value as well, and just don't want to give up on it just yet, certainly do not want to let it go, aint ready to do that yet!
