But thanks to this forum I can Usually/so far fix it....however, this time may be different.

I have without problem upgraded, downgraded radio stacks, flashed ROM's and altered bootloaders, but this time tried everything, read every post on this, 4 different seach peramiters no luck. I think I really did it this time :oops: Here's where I'm at:

T-Mobile phone edition
bootloader: 5.15
was rom: 4.001 Radio: A.20
on: AT&T Wireless US

Was having trouble with signal realized that I upgraded the radio last time then the ROM. Under T-Mo rom you could run the RSU upgrade and it would reintall the radio stack no trouble as long as you didn't touch the device. This time with A.20 stack it froze at 13%

Where I'm at Now:

Can: get bootloader
Can: change rom's via bootloader
Changed: rom to 4.0016 via bootloader

Cannot: get it to boot past Test only screen which reads G<blank> R<blank> 4.00.16<appears at bottom>
Cannot: connect to activsync
Cannot: get to today screen (no matter how many soft resets+holding volume+power on/off+power cable/no cable or any combonation there of)

Anyone been able to beat this hang? I think this is it for my little guy :roll: unless a wise master can teach me something new to reincarnate it :D

Can you get anybody with a backup sd card of ce and boot from their machine and try that from bootloader. Maybe that would get you going and then you could maybe flash the radio again.

I had it too with that TMobile ROM. I posted in some threads, read virtually all methods. Nothing worked.
But I eventually fixed it by sending the unit back to the importer for service and had them replaced the main board.

Some of my stories are contained in this thread:

You need to wait an hour or more to allow it to boot. It will eventually boot, from there you can retry the radio stack from within windows (copy the four files to your windows directory).
There is a thread on this.
Good luck.

thanks guys I'll give it a go with the wait for an hour bit. Already am able to flash the rom so lets hope the one hour or more wait does it :shock: I search all the threads just curiouse if you happen to know where it is post a link in this thread for others. I'm also going to search again and post it..if I find it this time that is :wink:
