Dumb question...could these bricked phones be sent back to Motorola for a total wipe and reload for a fee? Why don't people do that?
Ive contacted Motorola and this is their response.;
Thanks for reaching out to Motorola. I’ve reviewed your e-mail and I’m ready to help.
I understand your concern, Aaron. Please provide us the MEID serial number of your phone. On your dialer, please enter *#06#.
We have two options for you.
Option 1: You can check with your service provider for options available.
If the phone was rooted, you are right that it will be considered to be out of warranty. You may opt to send the phone in for evaluation so the technician can determine if the issue can still be fixed. If it’s fixable, the repair cost of $110 will apply. However, if the phone can’t anymore be fixed, it will be returned unrepaired and no charge will be made on youraccount. Just send the phone by itself without any accessories like battery door, battery, sim card and memory card (if applicable). The timeframe is 4-5 business days from the time we receive the phone.
We hope that you find this information useful and we look forward to assisting you in the future.
