download a Radio from here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=90342

Put ur phone into bootloader and flash this radio.

But first, Are you Security unlocked? If you arent security unlocked, you cant flash ANY RADIO.

Almost impossible to brick a phone via radio or ROM

As bteljuice said, reflash the correct radio.

not true. the radio and spl are known to be the only things that brick the phone

And why was this posted in the Upgrades forum? Good luck with your phone but please follow the forum guidelines for posting. Thanks.

Can you put the phone in bootloader? Volume down key press and reset!

If you cant...then it is a brick for sure...if you can...put it in bootloader, and flash a stock CDMA ROM for your device.

Moved to the Touch Pro 2 forum.

Yes. But you forgot to mention swimming with phone in your pocket.

OP, I agree with this last post. If you can get your phone into bootloader mode (multi-color screen), then you are not bricked. Like ai said, flash a stock ROM (which includes a radio) for your phone & you will be good to go. If you can't get into bootloader mode, then you are likely screwed.

GL!

Pretty sure a gsm rom is recoverable but not a gsm radio. Sorry
