Um from that pic that don't look good , did you try and flash a rom that was not for your phone ?
It should say R 1.03.05 for example then D with number behind it too. Need more details

I didnt try to flash anything.... I had the probex 7 skin/theme and it was working... then it turned off, I turned back on, and Ive got that all day.. It was normal use, it just stopped working.

Not sure how you randomly lose your radio like that or Rom for that matter it had to been something you did threw out the day. Download the stock TP rom and flash your phone. You might mannelly put it into Bootloader mode. Then flash

[ICEM/\N]

the question is do you know how to flash a rom bridgeport?

Never flashed a rom. Thats why i only did the theme/skin.. if anything imma have to hard reset.


But My phone says now

"The Device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source.

Press Volume Up to reset your device or press any other button to cancel

This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings."

Had to hard reset.... Dont know if i should put theme back on :(

i can promise you that it wasnt the theme..... it was something with the device itself... the theme only replaces image files and doesnt effect the radio.

Lol... Wanna hear a crazy story... I think i have bad luck with this touch pro.. Yesterday went to NY to see a friend. (Im from CT). Before I go to NY my phone was all good, ive always had a chip on the side of my phone near the volume up/down. So long story short, on my way home my phone dies from me using it all day @ the beach. (didnt drop it or anything). I go to charge my phone and its not charging. I take it to a sprint tech and he says the pins that connect my phone to the batt is smashed in and its nothing he can do about it, because the phone has a chip/hole and its physical damage. Now I have to pay a $100 deductible to get a new one... this shit sucks.

You should try self service bro and tell them ur phone stopped charging or whatever and avoid that fee ,i just exchange mine for free using that service ,they will ship u the phone out the next day and not have to wait 3-5 buisness days.

wait for a chip he wont do it.... you can have normal wear and tear on the phone.... as long as it doesnt look like you hammered a nail through it a chip wont matter.... i would go in there and tell the manager what that clown said and tell the boss about the horrible experience and lack of willingless to help due to having to write a ticket up.

Uploading the vid now... and I finally flashed my 1st rom. Dash if u were a tech, would u send this back to sprint or is it damaged 2 much? As far as flashing i went with mighty, Saw some post and it was a exe so nothing major.. I have a mac, so i used my sisters laptop with vista on it... Thanks guys for the advice about flashing... I will flash more often, it looks cool.

that looks like a hole was drilled so i see why he states that... they feel that if you have a hole in the device that is what causes the malfunctions and such which is due to neglect which means insurance...... he wsa right on that one... if that was jsut a chip in the chrome than he should have done that. thatnks for the video and damn i wish i had a camera with that clarity

[bridgep0rt]

Thanks again Dash. I have a habit of putting my phone in my lap, when i finish a convo in the car.

**Side note, the camera is a Sony h20.. paid about $350 with insurance from bestbuy. Its a very clear still camera, but it has a 720p Movie option and it looks great. Thanks again guys for the help... Guess i will loo @ some more roms :)
