ive been trying to get a answer out of someone for the last 2 days or so about a couple different things with no answer, your not alone bud :/
Yeah but does ur phones 3g not work lol?...srry im just mad cuz i may have to buy my bro a new phone....its rlly weird though i think vm itself may be blocking his data cuz it was saying us cellular instead of vm.....but its stupid that this rom.didn't come rooted...i think thats why it worked until i ran 2fasts superoneclick to root it

Try unrooting and using a different method hopefully that works so you don't have to shell out about 150-200 bucks

yeah mine works, i ended up having to re-flash back to the old SS rom, since the new one would seize up and restart whenever i tried to install an app, but the only thing that doesnt work on mine is the wifi, but thats a confirmed problem with the rom itself.
did u try to flash the 2.6.7 rom? because although i was having problems with it, if i remember right, mine still said it was VM, and the 3g did work.
the only possible thing that i can think of (although im not the best person to ask when it comes to custom rom troubleshooting) is maybe the baseband got changed? im most likely wrong, could you post the baseband version on the phone? and ill see if it matches up with mine.
like i said, this probably isnt whats wrong, but ill at least try to help you figure out what it could be :/ sorry i couldnt be more help
EDIT: megakid90's suggestion is probably ur best chance at fixing it. also, have you tried re-flashing the rom to see if that clears things up?

at the time that i posted that, it was the SS rom on the original post on the first page, but since then i flashed the 2.6.7 rom, had alot more problems, so currently im back to the original rom, not the updated one.
if u read the bottom portion of page 44 it explains what all went wrong with the 2.6.7 rom on my phone, and what i tried to do to fix it and still couldnt get it to work properly, which is why i went back to the older rom for now

Cannot get phone to boot
I installed the CWM Recovery and then tried to flash SSRom 2.6.7 but it did not boot so I then put the stock nandroids from the first page into a folder and into Rom Manager's backup folder. I then went to recovery mode and restored with the nandroids and it showed progress. After it reboot, it's stuck on the HTC screen.
I have tried looking online for a solution but with no luck. I am on a VM US Wildfire S so it should have worked. Maybe I may have missed something and is the reason for the problem? Any suggestions would be helpful. I don't care whether I get back to stock or to a custom rom. I just need my phone to boot and work again. Could I get step by step instructions? =/

Re: Cannot get phone to boot
how long did you wait for it to boot after you flashed the 2.6.7? if i remember correctly, if you dont flash the bootanimationpatch.zip also, it will just be a black screen until it gets to the lockscreen.
thats what happened to me earlier when i re-flashed 2.6.7 the second time on my phone earlier today. upon reboot, it sat at a black screen for about 3minutes, then the touch keys across the bottom lit up briefly, then showed the lockscreen.
if you can get back to the recovery, try re-flashing 2.6.7, then the bootanimationpatch.zip, then reboot and see if that fixes it, it should show a blue htc logo shattering as the animation.

Re: Cannot get phone to boot
i was going to ask the same thing about how long did u wait cause it can take some time to boot first time also u dont wanna do the bootanimation until after the first boot.
can u check what version u are running in the software information window so i can see whats going on and what u are working with

Re: Cannot get phone to boot
I gave up waiting for 10-15 minutes.
This is what I'm doing step by step. Hope you can tell me if there's something I did wrong.
1. Turn on phone using Volume Down + Power Button for HBoot
2. Choose Recovery
3. Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > go to ssromclassic2.6.7.zip > Yes install ssromclassic.2.6.7.zip
4. Wait for installation. (Last line it says is "Installing update...". There were no other words under that line)
5. Screen then went black and it boot into recovery
7. Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > go to bootanimationpatch.zip > Yes install bootanimationpatch.zip
8. Choose reboot system now.
9. Currently waiting on HTC boot screen.

Oh, I didn't see your comment about letting it boot once before doing the animation patch. I still waited 15 minutes and then i just yanked out the battery. I'm on Android 2.3.4 and ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7
Re: Cannot get phone to boot
did you format anything in the recovery? or even do a factory reset? that might be whats messing with it. Smartbrotha can probably direct you better in what you should format as im not 100% on what should and shouldnt be formatted. but thats about all i can think of off the top of my head that might be screwing with it

Re: Cannot get phone to boot
you want to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced in recovery wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats
well that what i did and it worked fine also im running ClockWorkMod Recovery 4.0.1.5 so mines is older that might have something to do with it but im not 100% sure or if u didn't format cause your suppose too
