I was listening to music on my 8130 and it locked up....no problem,,,I pulled the battery and now it hangs up while verifying security software. I have pulled the battery at least 10 times. I even left it (battery) out for over 5 minutes! It still sticks while verifying the security software!!!
yeah my pear l 8130 from vzw was doing that so i took it to the store and they exchanged it no questions asked and the new one has been working great ever since also i would install the softrest i run it ever morning and that help a lot!
Is the phone under a year old? If so, its still under warranty. BUT - vzw will not take it back as long as you have 4.5 running, as they do not support it.
As for getting all your apps back, you'll need to redownload them, seeing as you didn't backup your device.

As far as warranty exchange hopefully they won't verify that you aren't the original owner because I don't think the warranty is transferable. But if you have insurance then if the warranty is void it won't matter jusr be sure to wipe the BB and load the carriers OS on it. But if reloading the OS fixes the problem I see no reason to go through a replacement process.
Its unfortunate you didn't back anything up prior to or during the process. The backup processes seem to be very through. So as a future reminder you should backup before doing anything major on your BB on top of regular weekly or even daily backups depending on how much new stuff is added in need of backup.
