Installed Bad Skin/theme...

1. please dont post two threads of the same issue. the other one has been deleted.
2. dont assume what needs to be done if you dont know for sure.
3. please provide more detail as to what firmware is on your phone, and what "skin" you used as well as how you applied it and where you got it

I believe, and Pyde should be able to confirm this, that there is a seem edit that can be done to switch the current skin that is being used so that you can have access to your phone again. Then you should be able to delete the other skin. Please be patient and wait for a reply as the people who help out here have jobs in real life.

1. The reason i posted twice was because it didn't appear that the post had even registered, as i didn't even have access to it until just now. I am sorry for that. It wasn't a matter of being impatient, but more a matter of confusion.

2. Okay.. will ask before assuming.

3. I apologize for being dumb about this question, but what do you mean about firmware? the skin i used was called Silent Extinction and i believe i acquired it from Mobile9.com.

it seems that i myself jumped the gun and made myself look like a royal arse. I wasnt aware that there were issues with the forums/site in general until I was made aware by three different posts concerning the issue (actually one was an email). I started to suspect something might be up after it continued once I put up the first request, but I wasnt sure and was hoping that someone would at least make a thread stating that they could not find their posts/threads or did not have access to them. I just find it totally odd that both Pyde and I could see the threads and had access to them, but that others could not. I don't know if it had anything to do with our access levels or not. so, I do apologize for appearing like a butthole. in the future though if this kind of thing happens again, feel free to PM me or make a thread about it so that someone is aware of the difficulties.

when trying to use bitpim, please describe the exact steps you are taking. please note all applications you may have running as well as what settings you use.

im not familiar with motokit myself, and I'm not sure if anyone else here uses it either. it may be that that program is GSM specific, but who knows.

as far as other programs you have used, which ones?

to become familiar with the seem edit process, as well as an overview of setting up BitPim, please feel free to browse through the Guides section. although there are not many guides (if any) for this stuff that are specific to your carrier, the basics will still apply if you would read the guides in the VZW section. Just so that you know, the program setup guides are located under "content management" and the seem editing guide is located under "programming". If you just substitute the specific info in the guide with the info that is posted by Pyde, you should have no problem what so ever with getting things setup.

I would also like to ask this as a general troubleshooting question:
do you have MPT (motorola phone tools) on your computer? if so, did you install it BEFORE or AFTER installing the drivers and other programs? (it needs to be installed first before everything else so that the drivers which come with it do not screw up your ability to use other programs)

If you are going to have MPT on your computer, the installation process should be as follows:
1. MPT
2. MSU (for suspending the phone to p2k mode)
3. Motodev Drivers
4. p2k commander, p2k seem editor, BitPim, QPST, Radiocom, RSD CDMA general (for backups before a flash), RSD Lite (for flashing), PST (for backups AND for flashing, as well as suspending to p2k mode)
5. connect the phone to the computer

the ones in #4 are all optional. no real need to get them all . once you decide what you want to do with your phone, you may pick and choose from those which you need.
