Is there any way to not only flash the rom for wm6 but reload the phones embeded file

Hi, wrote to the phones embedded file system and whoops, now no radio.
tried the flight mode, and updating the radio, but I know it's with the phone's embedded file system.
Help!

Come to the chat room (press Chat at the top of the page) and find me, colonel or naigaman. We need you to explain exactly what you did and can futher advise you about what to do.

I went to qpst and was trying to write some values.
I didn't realise that I saved to the wrong file.
I screwed up the embedded file system.
My screen reader said I was writing to one file, when really focus was on another.

Your only hope then may be a master reset, as long as you have a Sprint-branded Apache. Other providers might have it also but I know for a fact that Verizon doesn't.

You would go to the phone screen and type ##RTN# (which is ##786#). If the PST doesn't come up at that point then ##RTN# will not work for you. If PST does come up then click the right soft key. The screen will then prompt you for an unlock code. That would be your MSL (same code you used to get into the phone with QPST). If you enter that correctly then a dialog box will come up asking you to confirm that you want to do a master reset. Tap OK and the phone will do a hard reset but should also restore many of the nvm files to their defaults.

Without knowing exactly what files in QPST you overwrote (and what portions of the files involved) then I don't know how else to help you). Good luck.
