Ok this is what happend my battery kept draining and i never have good any bars. So i decided to upgrade my radio, bad idea. I had to leave home to use the internet else i wld tell you where i got the files from. Anyway, they we're cab type files and i loaded one thru activesync, didnt really think it worked cause it kept saying home service (but phone was still working). So here we go I load one of the other radio cab files that i downloaded from this same site without removing the other cause i didnt think i had to. The cab loaded with success it said reset. Now my poor tp turns on load gets to today screen and just shuts down.

radios don't come in cabs.... are you sure it was a radio and/or a cab?

Put your phone into bootloader screen. Flash a new radio from your computer. Might fix the problem. Otherwise you will need to reflash a new rom.

radios come in the same format as a ROM. was it an RUU_signed.nbh file with RomUpdateUtility.exe?
anyways, since it is making it to the today screen, have you tried a hard reset? if that doesn't work, try to flash a new radio and/or rom from your SD card (since you're unable to connect via activesync)

*edit*

hold power and volume down while pressing the soft reset button
