updating the radio worked and the phone now boots.. the phone that i have been playing around with and creating new roms for is my old on that is no longer activated.. when i am in the kitchen building a rom i always select uscellular as the carrier but when i update the rom and turn on the phone it shows the carrrier as cellsouth? does this matter because i want to update my 6800 that is activated to one of the roms that i have created.. i just want to be sure that thee phone is going to work if i update it!
