Hey all, this is my first post, so I apologize in advance for my noobery
So after owning my phone for some time, I finally decided to root it. I had stupidly upgraded to 2.3.4 so it was much more difficult than it would have otherwise been. Thanks to tack's helpful posts, rivera82falcon at xda and notluK's amazing video, I got this done without any hiccups.
I then installed Root Manager from the market and tried to flash CyanoMod. Luckily I backed up because when it started to boot up, it got stuck at the boot screen. I left it alone for a good 40 minutes or so, but all that happened was the android on the skateboard would go back and forth, the arrow would go in a circle or two, then it would freeze and repeat. At this point I took the battery out and put it in recovery, then restored from my backup. I have tried another couple ROMs the same way and the manual way outlined on xda to no avail.
This would be all fine and I would retire to "I guess I wasn't meant to root" but now I get no service! Did I somehow botch my radio in the process?
I'm thinking now to either flash the original Gingerbread RUU I found on xda or trying to flash a different radio and seeing if that helps.
Any help or guidance would be MUCH appreciated!!!
