Re: bricked vogue...

alright exactly whats going on... I recieved my touch just this last summer. I put on a custom ROM, which was made by me, the first day i got it and everything has worked great up until now. I came back on this site and was looking for a new ROM to spice up my phone a little bit. I then remembered getting a text from Sprint (who is my carrier) that said that there is a new update (WM 6.1, which had the new radio and what-not) available at HTC's website. So I went to HTC's website under the support tab and looked for the sprint ROM. Being anxious to get the new ROM and not scrolling down the page all the way, I clicked on the US Cellular ROM upgrade. I flashed that ROM to my Sprint phone. My phone booted up and everything works except for that my phone was stuck in Digital Roam (meaning that i can recieve texts make calls recieve calls and everything else but im getting charged out the wazoo because im in digital roam). I looked back on HTC's site and saw the sprint ROM so i figured i would just re-flash the ROM to the upgraded Sprint one on HTC's site, and that would fix my digital roam problem. After putting the Sprint ROM onto the phone I still was stuck in Digital Roam. I then took the phone with the Sprint ROM on it to the sprint store and the techs there told me that when i flashed the wrong ROM to begin with (the US Cellular one) and that that ROM overwrote the sprint tower listings in my phone so that my phone cant see any of the sprints towers (thus the reason I'm always in digital roam). What im asking for is if there is a way that i can totally wipe my phone. I mean ROM and everything (something that totally wipes the phone and the tower list, so i can start over and load just the sprint rom and hope that that fixes my roaming issue.) Sprint told me that they have no way of putting the sprint towers list back onto my phone and said that they could give me a brand new Touch for 55 dollars, because they couldnt fix my phone. I would like to get this phone working however and not have to pay the 55 bucks for a new phone, as I am short on cash. If worse comes to worse and I cant fix this one, then I will surely be getting the 55 dollar Vogue. Hope this clears things up...
