Re: HELP! I've "bricked" and can't upgrade...!

Sadly, I am NOT a novice to this procedure, either! I've tweaked and customized many a device before this!

The first time... no, sorry. The first time I loaded the Sprint version of the 3.35 radio and just didn't catch the 3-2-1 countdown. Not good. Sure - the phone worked, but only in ROAMing mode, as it was using Sprint software in a Verizon device. Nothing would switch that "Dunce Cap" off. Not even a countless amount of attempts at dialing "*228". Trip one to Verizon to beg for a replacement.

With the second device in my hot little mitts, I mistakenly started with "Titan_Relocker.exe" - and I guess - not the UNlocker version. Safe to say - I was SOL... and not getting beyond the splash... that now said I had NO RADIO and wouldn't load anymore. Back to Verizon I went - and shared my situation with the techs. I figured NO ONE could be SO STUPID as to not only skrew-up three perfectly good phones, but also be honest about doing so. Thankfully, I left with my third device in less than 24 hours... whereupon I promptly started with "Hard-SPL-MFG.exe", and once that finished, I tried loading "Nex_3.35_No2_Vzw_SPB_FIXED2.exe" - and did just as was suggested and let it completely reboot (I didn't think I had to stop it from loading all the carrier software, since it was - after all - designed to work for VERIZON based devices (right?!?). Anyway, it looked for all the world as if it did what was desired, that is - until it, too, LOCKED UP - just after showing the system info at the Splash screen of the 6.1; in fact, that is the second time I fell (stupidly) victim to my own ineptness. Not just once, but THREE TIMES. Each time, I (thought I had) followed the developer's instructions to the "T". I can not express just how frustrating it is to NOT preform what is perceived to be a very simple task!

Any suggestions would not only be appreciated by me, but many other readers of this forum... I'm SURE!

Thanks for your kind consideration and assistance!
Ok, what rom and radio are you at now? Start with olipro 2.40 unlocker and we'll go from there. By the way, I am an aspiring first responder, too young to be an EMT
