That's not a reset button. It cuts off the battery.

[Q] BAD Flash when updating radios, who can I pay?

BAD Flash when updating radios, who can I pay to fix this?
Or anyone know of a way to fix this?
It appears to be bricked
When I flashed the ATT_Radio_Rhodium_4.48.25.95, I didn't rename it to RUU_Signed
Now I get nothing when I restart the phone, just a black screen.

is your phone a gsm rhodium or does it have a cdma module too?
Both I believe
This happened to me last night. I reflashed the ROM to fix it. I used MightROM which is FRIGGIN' Awesome if you ask me
In order to do that though you need to be CID unlocked though but basically as long as you are in the bootloader/bios then you can flash the new ROM from your PC via the USB. If you need any links to that stuff I can post, but I am not quite sure if this would be part of XDA or not (Is MightROM xda? Idk? PPCGeeks??)
You can also try holding down the Call answer and Call end buttons at the same time with the power button then put your battery in. This didn't work for me though, but I had to do this anyways after I flashed the ROM so it might work.
edit: Sorry I misread. I am not sure about the Black Screen. Might work though. I was in the bootloader/tricolor to reflash. Maybe your LCD is dead or something for all I know. Sorry Mate.

oh god then you flashed a GSM radio to a CDMA worldphone (just because it has a GSM module doesn't mean you can flash a GSM carrier radio to it... nope!!)
if you plug it into the PC does the PC try to install some USB driver?

It is simple. You obviously have a CDMA device. It doesn't matter if you use it on a GSM network. Your device is and always will be a CDMA device. NEVER try to flash ANYTHING GSM on it or you run the risk of permanently bricking it.
To fix this, you will need to grad the latest ROM update from either HTC's website, or your carrier's website. Put the device into bootloader mode by holding down the power button and pressing the tiny reset button under the battery cover with your stylus. Once it boots into the tri-colored screen (bootloader), you can then run the ROM update utility that you just downloaded. This will restore everything back to stock settings and you can try again. If you have already done Hard SPL, then it will NOT be overwritten, so don't worry.
Update
I cannot get into the tri-colored screen (bootloader).
How long do I need to hold in the reset and power button?
More than 1 min?

You can't get there, because you're doing it wrong. You need to hold down the volume down button and then press the reset button once. This gets you into the bootloader.
Update
Holding down the volume down button and then pressing the reset button once, did not work for me.
How long do I hold the volume down button for?

Do you have power in the device? You need to have a battery in it. Also, the reset button might not power your device on. If your device doesn't turn on when you press the reset button, then just hold the volume down button and press the power button once instead. That ought to do it.

Yeah, I accidentally put my phone in Odin mode once and just pressed the power button again to get out of it. What exactly is the method for getting the phone into Odin mode?
Volume down and power button at the same time

I just did the same thing. Power button + volume forum = odin mode. I was told you go into that mode when you want to push files from your pc to your phone.

Are you certain?
Take the battery out for a minute. Not just a quick second.
And try booting.
If that doesn't work...same method but while holding both volume buttons and power to see if you can access the bootloader.
If not...I don't know what happened.
If you can't access adb/fastboot...it looks like you'll have to use ODIN to factory reset the phone.

Phone keeps reseting?

I Have tried searching for the answers and nothing really answers my question. I was on ICS then I flashed back to EL29 using QB's method and now my phone just turns on and then stays at the menu my power button doesnt work? Help?
Can you get into Download or Recovery mode?
Like MeWarning was about to suggest...
Yank the battery, get the phone into download mode and one click odin back to stock then format all, flash your rom.
I had to pull the battery and immanently had to boot into cwm or else the phone would just turn it's self on same with download mode. I finally Odin back to el29 stock and I rooted it but now the only thing wrong is that my power button wont work I.E Can't press it to turn the screen off or turn off the phone. I Tired to fash a new rom and It worked but the only problem still is that the power button wont work
