My Verizon HTC 8X has been stuck on the gears screen for the past few hours. Is there anything I can do? Or is my phone basically dead? I have tried powering the phone off, but it just restarts and goes directly to the gears screen.
No luck. I'm not able to power down the phone. As soon as the phone powers down, it restarts, shows the HTC screen, and then goes directly to the gears screen.
On a Nokia, I hold down Vol DOwn + Power and wait for 3 vibrations, if i release on 1 vibration its a soft reset whereas 3 vibrations is hard reset (complete format).
