Have you tried flashing the radio by itself? Just have the radio.nbf in the flash folder. This is a quicker way to test different radios.

Yes I have, The stock radio will not flash using the the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file it will not even read the radio version. The radio file found in imcokeman will attempt to flash but freeze at 0% and error out after 5 min. It was that radio file that F'd me up in the first place. This is bad weekend and no phone. This is my work phone too they are go kill me when they found out what I've done. :-(

My suggestion would then be to make it look as stock as you can for Verizon and then go to the Verizon service center and play stupid so that you can get it swapped out or repaired.

That is always an option. Have you tried flashing just the radio in both bootloader and without putting in bootloader?

How can I do that? the stock rom won't flash so the version display at boot screen would be wrong I can change the splash screen back to the Verizon but it would still display incorect wwe version.

Should be able to get it back.

1. Pull the original spring OEM's. remove the radio and ms_ nbfs.
2. Flash to the stock rom. {bootloader OEM, though i've been using
the sprint stuff to flash for weeks rather than the real one.}
3. come up. Should have a running os.
4. Reflash from orignal OEM.

By the way. I HAVE been able to reflash w/ a custom nk.nbf, stock ms_.nbf, and stock radio.nbf file using the Sprint flash utility. and this w/o being in boot loader mode.

Try extracting the Verizon installer. Then just install the nk.nbf and ms.nbf. This should get you back to the Verizon rom and ExtRom.

yes I have but the stock nbf can not be read by the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe it may be encrypted or something. You are talking about the stock radio file right? because the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe will not read that file in BL mode or not.

oh.. thats a verizon. Same policy should work.

unrar the verizon stock rom files.
there you will find a ma_upgrad and the nbf files.
remove all but the nk.nbf file
flash using the ma_upgrade program there.
boot, have an os.
then re-flash again from the stock verizon rom w/ the radio and ext_rom.
you should be back to "brand new" configuration.

you may have to get you're msl/mdn/min numbers all reprogrammed in at that point.
