Help Bricked after update

[garf12]

Been using my iPhone 4 for the past few weeks and finally broke the Evo back out to compare it for a few weeks. When I turned it on I got the notice for update so I did it thinking maybe it would help with the random reboot problem I had been having.

Well after the update it sticks at the white HTC screen. I have tried all the basic fixes, held down volume/power, clear storage, recovery. When I clear storage it reboots and hangs at white screen again, if I do recovery I get a picture of a phone with a red triangle with a ! in it.

Any way to re-flash the phone or something to get it working? I assume If i can get something on the little SD card but how do I do that when the phone won't work? I'd really like to not have to deal with getting it replaced.

Thanks!

You did this Hard reset?

Yep, multiple times.

try this out?

You may need to take out the SD card and put it in a PC and download the Froyo ROM to it then put back in phone and follow procedures.

Yeah but doesn't the phone have to be rooted first?

I figure since you have nothing on their, might be worth a try? Otherwise if this doesnt work then you will probably have to swap your phone.
