Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!

[drewden123]

help! i upgraded the radio rom via sd and now it won't get past verizon splash screen when booting. still on stock wm6 rom

[chevyforlife]

did you put it in bootloader and then flash your custom rom?

[drewden123]

no. i was following the tutorial and it first said to update the radio rom and i did the sd way exactly how it says. i haven't cooked a rom yet, so im only as far as the radio rom part and now when i boot it gets stuck at vzw splash

Once the file is renamed place the SD card into the device and put the phone into bootloader mode (Power, camera, reset all pressed at the same time for about 2 seconds) and follow the prompts on the screen to update the spl. After the screen says updated or update complete, press the reset button. While the phone is resetting place the phone back in bootloader mode.


If you get stuck in the bootloader screen at any time (when you reset it goes to bootloader screen and will not boot to splash screen) just go to this post and run the exit-bl. in that thread.

yes, i got past the update and update complete thing. when i hit reset i put the phone back in bootloader and it went back to the update screen. so whenever i reset without going into bootloader it gets stuck

[chevyforlife]

were does it get stuck at?

[drewden123]

the verizon splash shows up and has all the versions etc. at the bottom, then they go away and the verizon splash just sits there

then most likly there isnt anything wrong with your phone. what radio did you flash?
