issue with my xv6900

[gremstein]

hi, im sorry if this has been covered before, i did a search and didnt find anything on it.
my phone recently stopped working, whenever i power it on, it shows the verizon screen, sits there for a minute, then says "no radio", and just sits on that screen. i cant even power it off unless i take the battery out.
I have tried hard resets, taking the battery out, and even doing the reformat, but it still wont work. does anyone have any thoughts?

put it in bootloader mode and flash a new radio or rom..

would you be able to tell me how to do that? im not very well versed on how phone stuff like that works

EDIT: i found the way to get it into bootloader mode, by hitting power, camera, and reset at the same time.. but this does not appear to work, as it just goes right back to the same screen which says "no radio"

Download the Verizon stock rom here:

Put your device into bootloader again (power, camera, reset) and it should say serial toward the bottom. Then connect your usb cable with your pc and it should change to usb. Then flash that rom. After the flash is complete I recommend you hard reset.

Hmm...did you do anything before this started? Installed something or attempted to unlock or anything?
Maybe you need to flash the original shipped rom not the last verizon update that I linked you to.

This should be the original shipped:

Flash it the same way.

well it originally came with winmo 6, i upgraded to 6.1 once.. but that was shortly after i got the phone and it worked fine for its entire warranty year. it only recently crapped out on me.. i havent done anything special to it.

i downloaded that file.. winrar says its corrupt and i couldnt complete the extract.

Are you flashing from the SD card or an RUU? Try using one of the radio's in my signature rename it to voguimg.nbh place it on a freshly fat32 formatted card and place the phone into bootloader. I recommend 3.42.30 radios are not carrier specific so any in the link will work.
