After your reply I remembered I hadn't plugged it into a computer yet. I plugged it into my laptop and it pops up as a device "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" so there is still something there inside the phone working but not much.

I will contact Verizon customer service today and see if they can help, if not I will delve in the depths of reloading my own phone. I have messed around previously with a friends phone and helped him out but in the end it is a matter of finding an online video or tutorial detailing the process.

Regardless I'd like to go back a few revs on the firmware when it was stable for me. Still trying to find the list of firmware updates for my note 4 so I can figure out what update started to get pushed in my face around christmas that I held off on until after the holidays which is what nuked my phone initially.

Thanks for the idea!

Matt
