I had the Iphone rom and romupdated it with the 8310 raio only rom. Now it only flashes the splashscreen and it turns off. I can't even activesync it to reflash the rom. What can I do??? Please help.:(

No more bootloader screen, just a blank white screen.
I had the bootloader screen b4 and tried to reflash it, even though flash was successful, it still turns off after splash screen. So I tried one of the Qtech bootloader roms and flash that, now it's worse than before. I only get a blank white screen when I load the bootloader.:mad:

Guys, are you speek about one subj? Bootloader mode is activated when you start your device with camera button pressed. There is NO white screen - in bootloader mode OS is NOT loading at all! But - you can start re-flashing process as usual :)

If it works, I recommend you to flash back your native ROM and then check the device. If everything is fine - you know what to do :) If not - let's continue thread...

And one more thing - are you sure, that your SDA is based on Tornado platform? AFFAIN SDA has two reincarnations - one of them is based on Typhoon platform, other one - on Tornado one. There are a LOT of cases, when people flased Tornado ROM to the first one and had a dead device after it :( Be VERY carefull!!! And read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288498 :)

I would be lucky if I can still get into bootloader mode which means there is life left. Now, all I get is a white screen on the Tornado( it's a T-mobile SDA-silver color with bump). I am looking to see if the dealer would be able to revive it. I got a MDA now:cool:

About get into bootloader there's enough hints from peoples above. Simply hold camera button while you press the power button, and soon you will see a three color stripped screen, without normal booting splash like "DOPOD". Then you'll be able to flash as you like with RUU of MTTY.

I'm just guessing you've been flashed a Radio version over 02.00.09. As I know, you have to upgrade your IPL version to 2.00 as well as a SPL upgrade to version 2.00.00, for the new RADIO to work. Just a hint you may not noticed.

there's nothing you can do. I had similar experience, went to bunch of services, no one could fix it.

Some one can repair it by "change the code lib", I don't know how to say it in english. But apparantly someone in my city can do it without touch your phone.

That means I have to wait till next year when I head to Guangzhou to do it then.:mad:
