I just flashed to ConfusedStu Vista 1.3, everything went well until I got through the customization screen and now my sim has just an exclamation point by it. I took the sim out and put it in my razr and it is reading fine in that. Anybody have any ideas that can help me out. Even though I dont have a lot of posts Im not new to doing this or to the site, Ive been flashing my wizard for 2 years now and my tilt for about the last month and a half. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I also will say I tried to reflash radio 1.65 and that didnt help either.

i usually remove sd and sim before i flash a new rom. What does it say or show on the screen when the sim is inserted? and what does it say on the screen when the sim isn't inserted? If it says the same thing i can't help you.
try a hard reset too.
When the Sim is inserted is says nothing, just has the exclamation point by the signal meter and and x by the data connection. When the sim is not in the phone at all it gives me the no sim inserted emergency call if provider supports it. I tried to reflash the rom with the SIM out and still get the same result??? Kinda Screwy
most likely its the phone that's the problem. because if your sim was fried it wouldn't work in the razr. the razr couldn't be able to recognize the sim card at all if it was fried.

you may need to install another radio that is compatible.
Is this a new or an older SIM? Check the gold contact points on the bottom. I've used a pencil eraser to go over mine and have gotten a SIM that had stopped working ot start working again (back on my Wizard). The local AT&T stores by me (not the Spring ones, but the true AT&T ones) are good about replacing sim cards for free when I've had issues (I had a sim card out one day and my dog got hold of it off the table. Called the local AT&T store and they guy laughed then said bring it down and he'd give me a new one. Waived the $25 charge. My wife has had her sim card replaced for free also in the past from the same store. YMMV).

Tried that one too...lol. I searched and searched, I tried different ROM's with their respective radios and still same results. Looks like Im flashing back to stock and Warranty has another one coming. The funny thing is, it still tells me I have a voice mail and shows my number under the phone screen, which tells me its reading the SIM

Check and see if the phone is turned off. Happened to me a couple of flashes in a row, sometimes you end up with the phone turned off. Just open the comm manager and turn it back on.

Tried this once and it didnt do anything, hard reset, tried searching again, went and grabbed a drink and after about 15 minutes it found network and all is good. Now back to flashing my 6.1 ROM. Ill never learn, but its so fun to have a phone that takes over all me free time on the road.
Thanks to all that helped and had some ideas. Thats why I love this place. Thank you.
the first thing you do after you flash a new rom is hard reset, now I am using the same rom as you are and all you have to do is go into your commmanager and turn flight mode OFF, push the button with the picture of a phone on it, then your phone will customize your connections to your carrier

I have already flashed My tilt with just about every ROM out there just to have fun and see what the differecnces were, WITH NO PROBLEMS. Then I tried to flash it with the new ROM and had the problem. I appreciate you trying to help but how you gonna end with calling me a n00b, when I have more posts than you and have been here a lot longer. But thanks for the help.

ya that was unnecessary. he clearly knew what he was talking about (but maybe didn't explore different avenues before asking). in addition, its not necessarily true that the phone customizes for you.

I flash only via sd card and I have never taken out my sim card and I have never had one glitch at all. In my humble opinion, flashing via sd card is much quicker and safer.

OK I am kind of a n00b, but I thought I had this all figured out. I am currently running Faria's Crossbow version. So yes I am CID unlocked (in other words I have successfully flashed ROM's before). I wanted to go back to the base Tmoblie 2.26, but when I hook the phone up and walk through the wizard as soon as the status bar comes up for Upgranding the ROM, the phone turns off, and the software asks me to do a recovery. It looks like it is never entering bootloader mode. I have also tried to hold down the camera and press the little reset button by the IR port. Same results the phone powers off, and won't come back on until I remove the battery. Looks like there are some pretty cool ROM's here, and I just want to give them a try. I also tried Crossbow Reloaded 1.5, and the standard 3.08IPL/SPL.
My current verions are IPL/SPL 2.26 GSM 2.25.11 OS 2.18.10.
Thanks!
Hi,
First thing is if you already followed all procedures to correctly unlock your phone before doing anything here! If so, try this procedure:

Good luck!

Take out your SD card. A friend of mine's phone does exactly this. As soon as you take out the SD card it goes right into bootloader mode with no issues.
It was the SD card. I forgot to take it out. Thanks!

For my friend its specific to his SD card. I put my own SD card in his phone and he can get to the bootloader fine. He's been in the bootloader in the past with his SD card, so its seems (for him) that its specific to this particular SD card (he has a 1GB Sandisk) and something new that has happened (he had never been on a cooked rom before, only official ones from Cingular and wasn't CID unlocked when we found this issue). Don't know if it has to do with the card going bad, or amount of data on it, or what.
easiest way is turn of ur phone.while turing on the phone hold on to camera button.

You are missing the point of this thread. In the situation we are discussing, that method will NOT work. The phone literally just turns off and will not go into Bootloader mode no matter what you try. If you run RUU, it just turns off (and you have to pull the battery to get it to turn back on). If you turn off the phone and hold the camera button the phone will not turn on (and again, you have to pull the battery). It refuses to go into bootloader until you pull the SD card for this specific condition.
Don't quote me, but I seem to recall my friend tried putting the phone in bootloader and it did this. I told him to pull the SD card and it instantly went into bootloader (without pressing the power button). So its like the phone was frozen waiting for something before going into bootloader. When the SD card came out it unstuck. And thats probably why the battery has to be pulled (as the phone really isn't turned off, its stuck with a screen that hasn't started).

Well I've been using cooked roms since like 2 months after I got my MDA (april last year + or -), so I don't think that has anything to do with my case, but I do have the same sd card as your friend, and now that I remember the other day the card wasn't being read. I had to pull it out and put it back in a few times before it was recognized again; I think I'm in the market for a new card. Just in case.
Don't know if it helps, but I have loaded 3 different ROMs fine now. In my case at least it was just the SD Card (1GB Adata I think).
On a side note sorry others are having issues too, but you guys sure make a n00b feel good. Most of the time, no matter how much I search for something, the first response to the thread is "why don't you search for it there is already a thread here <link>". Nice to finally post something that applies to others as well as myself.
Keep up the good work, great site!

Personally I think it's in bad taste to think that just because you kinda-sort off are trying to help that people have to deal with attitude. Anytime I direct someone to a thread I try to simply give the link, and if it's a really obvious question I might kindly remind the person to use the search function. If a question really bothers me I simply don't reply; we create more clutter in threads by acting all high and mighty then obvious questions do.

Not to clutter up this thread, but I totally concur. I've tried to take the high road the last month or so. I either give them the info they need, warn them of the dangers they are apparently ignorant of, or I just skip over the thread completely if I can't answer it without a rant
It is not as bad here as other sites. The mods have posted some really good sticky's with the FAQ's, and for the most part they are very thorough. Some people just don't want to take the time to read. Enough said we are a bit off topic now.
Thanks Again!
First, my palm 750 was having the problem that it got stuck like always, and when it finally started working, i had no signal at all, radio on, turned off and back on, hard reset, soft reset, nothing. So then I saw that there was WM6 and upgrading sounded like a good idea. Started looking for the rom and i found the voda WM6 rom, followed the instructions and when it was upgrading the battery felt cuz I didn't put back the cover (my bad). After that, I tried to turn on the fone and all I got is the Bootloader screen, have read a lot and all the answers are to format the card to fat32, or to switch computers, I've used like 3 different cards, checked on 3 pc's, used another card reader and all I got is the boot screen, if I put the card in it says loading, press the end call botton, start updating and then got stuck after splash1 and bootloader says ok. What I'm wondering is if the it is a hardware problem was before the update I had no signal, and now it got stuck on the gsm part of the update. Any Ideas?? this is a really expensive paperweight!!!!!
A couple thoughts...first, when it gets to the GSM portion of the flash it takes significantly longer than the others, so you might just need to be a bit more patient. Run it again and leave it alone for 10 minutes.
If you can get to the bootloader screen, your device is not bricked. You didn't mention what carrier your device is from..is it a Vodafone device? If so, you might be able to just connect the device to your PC while it's in bootloader mode and run the full Vodafone updater on your PC. There's a chance that this method might not work if a partial flash has left your device in a state that the PC based updater can't identify.

Thanks, and well it is a Cingular Treo, and I left the updater running several times for more than 3, 4 hours until the battery run out, and well, keep being stuck at gsm part, tried the tool that is on the update but after some % it got disconnected, any ideas???
im no expert. but if your using it with cingular (att) and you used a voda rom, i dont know how it would work in the first place without some sort of cid unlock? correct me if im wrong.
anyway. I would try that leaked att rom it it were me.

Well First never do a rom update off the battery second I have a att/Cingular 750 had leaked att on it ran fine then moved to the voda rom still fine
If the ATT rom doesnt work search for a WM5 Rom I think someone said it was posted in here. If that doesnt work, the first rom update I screwed up killed my device I called ATT said I tried to install the audio update and it killed my device they sent a new one and then i up'ed the ATT rom GL.
mtty perhaps?
Thanks in advance. I flashed a ROM, when i turn on my device, it is stuck on the "Touch Pro 2" splash screen and never goes past. I can enter bootloader. Do I have a corrupt ROM? How can I get the phone working? Thanks again!!
first, what ROM are you using? is your device a GSM (AT&T/T-Mo) or CDMA (Sprint/Verizon) model?
when you ask questions about this kinda stuff, you always need to be as specific as possible. we won't be able to help you until we know these things.
Based on your prior posts, I will assume you have a Tilt2 on AT&T. You can get your phone back up and running by downloading another ROM, and flashing from the bootloader.
thanks. Verizon. I was told I have GSM phone, so I flashed GSM. Bootloader says RHOD500. SPL-1.00.0liNex. The ROM I thought I flashed was EnergyROM_28002_RHODIUM_20.Nov.2009_StandardM2.5.rar. Thank you so much for your kind consideration and help in this matter.
NATF, thanks, how do I flash from bootloader? FYI, we moved off of AT&T onto verizon. I got the andriod but it gave me hemaroid so I got rid of it quick and got the Touch Pro 2. Thanks for all your Fuze ROMS!
Oh you have Verizon now... me too...
Your phone is frozen because you likely flashed the GSM Energy ROM, not his CDMA release. You can have a look at my CDMA ROM (shameless plug), or check out Energy's CDMA ROMs posted over at PPCGeeks.
I'm also moving this thread to the CDMA section.
I think I figured it out. I copied your ROM to the root of my microsd of my fuze (since I could get to that one), then put it in the TP2, went into bootloader with very little expectations, and I got the instructions for flashing from the card on bootload! Why did I hear a scream when the phone booted? Scared the crap out of me!!

Scream?
it was the strangest thing, a 3 second audio clip played as soon as the phone booted the first time during the install of your ROM. It could have been from my PC, I thought it was an easter egg you put into the ROM, but I should have known better.

I just had to make an account to say thank you for tip. I am completely new to the cellphone phone world, but had to shell out for a good one because I don't get internet to my house where I live.
I flashed my CDMA Rhodium with a gsm rom and had no idea there were a difference. I was dreading the idea of having to drive a hundred mile to the sprint store and lying about how the phone stopped working.
Good thing I tried your rom and now the phone is working again. It even gave me more free storage space on the phone.
where is this rom to fix the black screen

Just got this today.. followed the root guide and flashed the original cingular US radio, and I have no signal. Actually, I haven't had signal since downgrading to the international ROM. I flashed a newer ROM (Revolution), but still no service. What's going on here?
Can anyone help? I'm using the radio.img on the thread for that ROM right now
For some clarification, it just says "no service" and I have no bars, or data. It does show that a SIM card is inserted, however.
Did you put the cover back over the sd and sim card? It has the antenna contacts.
Thanks, bro! I feel like a dumbass now
No worries. I only knew the answer because I had the same thoughts when I was rooting mine.
Antenna contacts are on the back cover!

Haha thanks for the thanks. Seriously I've spent hours re-flashing my kernel, RILs, and even changing the telephony settings via propeditor and DF manager... I even went into an AT&T store and got a new replacement SIM card b/c I thought the newer SIMs may have better reception than my old SIM card.
If only I saw this post first I would've saved HOURs But hey, at least my phone is running blazingly fast in pristine condition now
I put the cover on several times and dont get 4g anymore sometimes 3g and very few bars. This is a new phone and first root. Didnt have this problem with other phone.

I had the same issue. Try putting two pieces of tape on the back of the sim card. Sometimes its because the sim-tray is a little loose. Don't put more than two! (I tried four and it was almost stuck in there!).

Just grab your sim card, put some tape on it (the side without contacts) and then put it back in the phone. This should push the card harder onto the contacts, making a better connection.
