Lost My Radio - A current Saga

[turdlarsen]

I've been up for 3 days trying to flash/smash my radio and protocol back into my phone. I've used all the techniques described in this forum (using the search) to attempt to get it to work. As it stands, I have wm5 back on my phone using utstarcoms original rom (sprint) using no ruu. Phone boots up, but nothing next to "P" and "R". My question is, if its a hardware issue, can I take it to a cell repair shop and have the nvram or cdma qualcomm chip replaced? I called a place I've gone beftore to replace my rf modulator and he acted like he had what it took to fix it? Whatdayathink?
