You will need to provide as much detail as possible about what you did. what rom? did you hard reset? do you have an unlocker (what number is on 3 color screen)? what carrier?

Only suggestion i can have for now is reflash from bootloader using a stock rom image.

I see this is your first post, don't be afraid by that splash screen locking if you search you'll see it can easily be remedied.

Thanks so much for your reply i really apreciate it.

I used this rom:

And i used the unlocker and RUU from this tut.

I would reflash but i dont how to connect it back to my pc from the bootscreen

EDIT: I did some searching around and found how to get back to the boot loader thing, still not fixed but im panicing a little less now.

While im posting I need some vocab lessons whats a radio and whats a kitchen im assuming a kitchen is to edit the roms and a radio is the phone?

That's your problem!

You need the new 2.40 unlocker. it's in the stickies here and the direct link is in the thread for the rom you downloaded.

Also, that rom doesn't include the new radio so it is doomed to fail. The thread does mention that you need to run the other rom first for the radio. The new rom needs the new radio and SPL they really should remain 1 single package at this point, but i digress.

Run the leaked version before any customs though and you'll have the radio. Still need to unlock with 2.40 first.

Hope that helps

Woah calm down there with that crazy jargon

Okay so far ive managed to get it up and running back on the sprint rom.
I got the 2.40 unlocker.
Now what do you mean by running the leaked version and what is a radio man i have no idea what that is.

thanks again thumbs up
