Hi Blackjack II users!

I need help with my AT&T Blackjack II.
It was working fine until it suddenly refused to boot properly.
Now, whenever I power up the phone, it will greet me with the AT&T 3G animated splash screen & then stay at the at&t logo for an indefinite period of time.
When it times out, the screen stays white & finally fade off with multiple colored lines & stay white.
I noticed however that it will proceed to display part of the the Windows Mobile interface with a "SIM Failure Unknown SIM status. (Error 0)" message if I leave it there for a long time, at least 20-30 minutes.
It will never get beyond that point.
Please see the picture I took of the screen. If I use the Fn + # key at certain times, I will see a window where I can input up to 8 numbers, something like a SIM Unlock code.
If I hold onto the power button long enough, the animated Goodbye! splashscreen will come on & the phone will proceed to shutdown but the screen remains white.
Another observation I made is that if after I boot the phone & leave it for awhile, I can press the [CV] button & I'll hear two distinct sounds, first one is a beep followed by a something that sounds like a failed connection attempt.
Anyone knows what's wrong with my phone? Is the ROM corrupted?
Can it be restored?
When the WM6.1 is released, will I be able to reflash the ROM & fix the problem?
There's no official WM6.0 ROM that I can use to flash the ROM again, if assuming it's a ROM corruption.
Lastly, is there a bootloader mode for the BJII like the BJ or i600?
I welcome any feedback & solution to fix this problem.
Thanks!

Konker

Thanks for the suggestion.
I've already tried that & it completes successfully but the same problem returns.
It'll still stay at AT&T screen...and all the other observations I've made.
Is the phone 'dead'?

hello, I have this exact same problem with my blackjack ii.

Phone won't start; it gets stuck on the "windows mobile" splash screen, even after hard reset. After about 15 minutes of this splash screen it gets to the message with "SIM card error". Also I can't reflash the rom because activesync won't work, so I'm kinda stuck.
