Can someone please help me out on this?
i bought a phone on ebay and well now that i got it,
IT does NOT have a radio!

where can i find a radio thats compatible for it?
my device is running a cricket windows mobile 6.1 rom i think.
but i cant find a compatible radio to flash to it,
i already tried 1.43 which is over at xda's but it just wont load it.
i tried the upgrade, i also tried taking the nbh file and putting it on the windows Rom i have and reflash the device but it wont flash the radio to it and it just tells me to rest the device and try again...

so now what do i do? any help will be much appreciated.

Did it have a radio installed BEFORE you made any changes to it? Almost every issue I have seen with the 67 and radios is a hardware failure and so once it fails there is no getting it back. So I wannt make sure you didnt get duped on ebay or if you are trying to flash it for Cricket and possibly just do not have the radio installed.

When i got it it did not have a Radio on it. and i did not notice it..
so i flashed it over with a cricket Rom..

I guess i will try flashing it with a rom that has a radio but if it does'nt work then that means its burned out?

Also, another way to rule out a non-working radio, install a known working ROM from Verizon from here Unzip the downloaded folder and run the exe file. If you can get some bars, connect to a tower, etc., there's a chance the radio may be working.

Just a thought.

Here's some more you can try but Weed's probably right with the hardware issue:

If you power on the phone and it doesn't give a radio version number, then your hardware is burnt out and it's time for a different phone.

Yep, if tere is no radio then your hardware took a poop. Time to find another phone.

Go back and make sure the sellers listing is accurate and he should be telling you that it is good for a PDA only. If he is selling it as working and no issues then email him and ask for a refund. If declined then file a claim either through Ebay or PP.
