HELP! - Stuck on SPL-0.41.coke bootloader and "No Radio"

[cbstryker]

I have a major issue here. Please bear with me.

I flash my phone to the official 6.1 rom a few months back. Now I recently decided to try a custom rom by NFSFAN. So first thing was to flash the bootloader by IMCokeMan version 0.41. After doing that I flashed the custom rom. Once it booted up my phone kept reboot itself every few seconds or so. It turns out now that it was a battery issue, but I was sure the battery was fine and thought it was simply an incompatibility issue with the rom.

So I then tried to flash the official 6.1 rom back on, but it froze at 44% and then threw a 262 error after a minute or so. I then learned that I needed to flash the IMCokeMan 0.40 unlocker/relocker to get the official rom back on. So I did. Then tried the official rom again, and lone behold, froze at 44% and then gives the 262 error.

Then I thought I'd try the NFSFAN's rom again. So I flashed that. Once it successfully finished and started to load it freezes at the Telus splash screen and "No Radio" appears in red on the screen.

So this is where I'm at. I've tried to flash nearly every bootloader I could find and no matter what I do the bootloader always shows "SPL-0.41.coke". I can't flash any official rom including Telus, Bell or Sprint as they each freeze at different spots but consistently at the same spot individually (Telus at 44%, Bell at 30-some%, Sprint at 29%). I can flash custom roms as well as the beta wm6.5 rom but those don't fully load and give the "No Radio" error.

The ONLY rom I can successfully flash is an old 6.0 rom that someone dumped from a telus vogue. But in this rom under "Device Information" the rom is 1.11.661.1 and the radio version field is blank! And I cannot make data connections, as in I cannot connect to the internet, etc.

So my question to anyone that may know is: why am I having these issues with the radio version? How can I get rid of the SPL-0.41.coke bootloader?

And what can I do at this point? Any help from anyone is a thousand times over appreciated!

You know, I had a similar issue once, and the only thing that got it working was flashing from a different PC for some reason.

Have you tried doing it from the SD card directly? Perhaps with just a radio first?

I've tried it from the SD card with the same results but not from another computer.

Where would I get a radio only file? If you could point that out for me, that'd be great!

The .41 unlocker is for non GPS vogues. 2.31 is for GPS vogues. Most currect roms are all GPS. This is most likely why you can only load an older rom. You need to get to 2.31. Have you tried to upgrade with the officail Telus GPS rom since you are on a non GPS Telus currently.

Right there in my original post. I can't flash ANY official rom anymore, and anything else, as in custom roms, give me the "No Radio" error.

But I also can't get ANYTHING else to show on the bootloader! I've tried every combination of flashing the 0.40, 2.31, hard reset, removing the battery, etc, etc, and no dice. Still shows SPL-0.41.coke.

IMCokeMan's apps messed up my phone.

Take the phone into Telus and act as dumb as possible....

Ya already tried it. They want me to sign another 3 year contract for another phone. My phone's warranty was up a while ago.

I think I've narrowed down exactly what I need to do. What I'm sure is the exact issue is that the phone's radio firmware got pooched at some point. So I need a flash file that can supply the radio firmware only, and then I can work from there.

Anyone have any suggestions as to where/how I can get a radio firmware flash file? And an official rom won't work. They just freeze on me.

ok i had a silimilar problem to this but not quite the same this is what i did and it worked for me , BE AWARE this may not work for you, try at your own risk (and i did it all by flashing with sdcard)

download this radio Vogue_Bell_Radio1.59.10a from here

ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/ImCoKeMaN/roms/

and flash that first, in the same folder you downloaded the radio, there some rom dumps choose what ever carrier yours is and download that, then flash the one you chose

next find you carrier offical upgrade to windows mobile 6.1 search here on the forum it will prolly be here,and flash it, after you have done that flash the imcokeman 2.31 vogue unlocker , then flash your custom rom

hope it works for u
