On the right track now. I used the laptop, and now able to flash rom, and also unlocked it to SPL-2.31Coke.
Next step installing the rom
OK! touch is not even turning on after the rom installation, did the hard reset, no avail. Looks like second is bricked too.
Another thing I noticed was that radio is still @ ver. 1.59.10a, while rom updated to 3.02. Anyway to revive it?
