I've searched everywhere, and I can't figure out what to do. I bought my 8125 with the faria crossbow rom already loaded. I made some registry changes, using the registry wizard. All I changed was to turn off the message sent notification. After a reboot, I see the IPL and SPL (both 2.26)...and then instead of going to the crossbow logo, it just goes blank. After a few seconds, the green light starts flashing...and when I hit anything, all the buttons light up. It almost seems like it's working, but it's not displaying. I've pulled the battery a few times hoping for a miracle, but no such luck. I can get to the bootloader screen. If I understood the instructions correctly, I should be able to flash it from here with the love rom? I downloaded it, and the update utility is not in english. I tried to get through it, and I think I did it right...but I'm pretty sure it was giving me an error saying it couldn't connect. When I plug in the usb cable from the bootloader screen, it does say usb on the bottom. I'm pretty much stuck from here. Does anyone have any suggestions on my next step?
Thanks in advance...

You can just do a hard reset. Turn off the phone, then hold down the comm and Voice buttons then turn on the device. It will ask you to reformat memory. Press the green Call Send button to confirm. This will put you back to a fresh install of that rom (and you will lose anyting you loaded on the phone in regular memory).

If that doesn't work, then you can look at flashing. Read the sticky at the top of this forum on how to flash (by Vippie) and you will be good to go with doing that... Good luck!

The hard reset did it. I tried that earlier, but I guess I wasn't holding one of the buttons down all the way...or something stupid like that. Thanks for the help!
