dear all,

My Telstra branded HTC Desire 8183 died out of nowhere.

Here's what I did:

Rooted with R5

MCR 3.1 ROM (custom kitchen with A2SD+) and r17 froyo rom (mostly MCR3.1)

everything went well, and i was happy with it for 2 weeks (blasting fast HSDPA speed and runs perfectly fine)

i noticed the signal strength was really low two days ago, i thought it was my area having service outage. (called and confirmed) I had my girlfriend's Nexus One AT&T version side by side she's getting full bars.

now the phone will show Emergency Call Only all the time, sometimes even with signal, i wont be able to use the data connection (it's show H, but cant even load google.com with the browser)

Diagnostics that i had done:

unroot with generic WWE rom with goldcard (since the telstra rom that people posted on here have 0.75 bootloader and mine is 0.8 so i can only use 1.21 generic WWE rom)

root again with R5 method

update radio

install MCR 3.1 again

replaced my sim card at AT&T store just to make sure

called AT&T to inquire about service outage

none of them works, now i'm stuck with a phone that doesnt make phone calls and data connection.

did i do anything wrong that mess up the radio of the phone? are these rooting guide and custom rom don't support 8183?

please help me! i really like this phone and it's such a waste to let it sit there ;) :(

best regards,

ted

i was trying to unroot it but since i have 0.80 bootloader, the telstra rom that was posted on the other thread doesnt work...
