Before I get flamed for not posting this in the ROM's thread, I did already and "gadgetdad" was very helpful in the ROMs thread. Unfortunately the thread isn't that active right now and I am kinda stuck.

So here is goes, if I could get some help, any would be 100% appreciated

I recently flashed to L26 V3 (I am giving you 100% of all the info I know to hopefully give you all enough info). Right after this, I switched over to the new Alex v6.01 ROM (I have an AT&T Tilt, live in the states). More specifically the Cube version I downloaded from his 4share account with the radio 1.65.14.06. It apparently was a bad download or something because it DID 100% complete flashing, however it took forever (20 minutes to customize) and after that when I choose AT&T auto settings it gives me a "Error Database" popup.

So I figured, guess it messed up, will try again (I was going to try the lite one this time though). Unfortunately now my phone wont sync either, active sync says "ActiveSync can not connect to the Windows Mobile powered Device. To troubleshoot click ok".

So,
1. thought was Restart PC. No go, same issue
2. Clear storage...(have Rom re-customize) all same issues, no go
3. "gadgetdad" had me try finding a point during the ROM install to "reset it" so it wouldn't finish customizing the ROM (tried soft reseting and hard reseting in about 15 spots...ROM kept re-installing...no go
4. Also tried MTTY (can not recognize the device as USB what so ever).

So here is my whoa is me, I am on call this week (great time to have a ROM flashing addiction) with this phone, am I screwed? Anything can be done? Any help 100% appreciated.

Thanks all and thanks for trying "gadgetdad",

Don

Power down the phone. Hold in the camera button and hit power button and see if you can enter in to bootloader. If you can reflash with sd card.

No worries man, Shows there is a ton more to learn when it comes to flashing. You saved me by showing that you dont have to use the micro card once in bootload. Learning experience all around, and now alex knows there is an error on his new build :)
