N00bed my phone after cooking, please assist

I cooked a rom for my ATT Tilt, after booting up the phone has no audio
Can't even hear through the ear piece when a call has been received.
now I try to load my previous rom, and activesync is giving me an error, remote networking error 1062, so my computer wont recognize the device, tried 4 different computers, same error.
maybe I need to reinstall activesync on my phone? does anyone know where I can download it... found activesync for the PC, but cant find it for the PPC.
thanks in advance..

Don't push the power button down, just hold the camera button all the way down, and soft reset with the stylus.

You can, but you need to be able to get into bootloader. I'm not sure how you are getting the shortcut error when rebooting...it should at the very least just reboot normally.

Try this. Turn the phone off completely, press firmly and hold the camera button, then poke the reset button with the stylus. Do not go near the power button, and do not release the camera button until the bootloader comes up.
got it to work thanks for the assistance
I took the battery out, put it back it while the camera button, pressed the power button, then it went into bootloader mode
once it was in bootloader mode I was able to load the original rom
tested it, and my tilt is back running normal
thanks again, you guys are very helpful

While the phone is off, hold the home button. Press the End button to turn on the phone while continuing to hold down home.
Edit: I meant to say End and not Send in my first reply.

Switch SD card and cant go to recovery anymore !

I managed to switch my sd card and now there is no option for boot into recovery anymore ! Please help me !!! When I tried to flash again via fastboot, it said that the image cant be loaded !
How are you trying to get to recovery. Volume - button and push the power button.
OP...you may want to be a bit more detailed.
Why and what are you flashing 'again' using fastboot?
huh!! very confusing post... what boot into recovery option... which ROM are u using and as @SiNJiN76 said... what are you trying to flash "again"???
well, I tried to press the power button and the trackball at the same time, but there is no option to go into recovery
Edit:
My bad guys, my mistake, i press the power and the trackball instead of the volume down button ! Sorry and please forgive my stupidity

I managed to switch from a 4GB class 6 to an 8GB one ! After that, I cant seem to boot into recovery anymore ! I tried to flash the recovery image again but it said that the image couldnt be loaded
Press Volume Down and hold it down while you press Power. Keep Volume Down button held 'til you get the white screen. You'll see recovery...press volume down to select it then power button to enter recovery.

Can you still boot into fastboot ? (remove battery if needed to power off, put it back , hold back button and press power )
no i cant. i cannot boot into any menus.
you cant boot into fastboot or into recovery?
sorry man..... brick. at least as far as i could think.
the wiki says theres a way to fix it, does anyone know who wrote it? maybe i could contact them?
Seriously? So you can't access adb/fastboot shells from your computer?
Fastboot is not a menu you access, You need to have the android-sdk setup on your computer, and need to reboot your phone into fastboot:
Take out the battery.
Put battery back in.
Hold the Back Button
Press power button and continue to hold back button.
Device should boot into bootloader, and if you have the right spl fastboot will be enabled.. (i believe thats correct)
Also, did you flash the wrong radio and then continue to flash spl?
If so, your device is bricked. But if you only flashed the radio and it's compatible with your spl you should be ok.
dude, send me your phone, im a professional repair man , i'll even fix it for free XD
The fix way of doing it you may find hard lol but it's called JTAG ^^ read on cyanogenmod wiki
where would i have to send it out too? and some type of insurance would be nice but id possibly be willing to send it out

I only flashed the radio, and then the CM6 Rom
The radio i flashed was the g1-radio-2_22_23_02 but i flashed it on EBI1 not EBI0
i tried to boot with every key combination i can think of such as camera + power Volume + power Back + Power
EVERYTHING
but it always hangs at the rogers screen

Why are you holding down all those keys ._.
hold camera while booting and give us a definitive answer on whether or not it loads a screen.
It does not work.
it stays at the rogers screen

[Q] Stuck at boot splash screen and will not reboot into recovery

Hello all,
I haven't touched my M7 in about 6 months but I figure it's time I try to fix it. Here are the following symptoms of my problem: it won't boot past the splash screen, it won't boot into recovery, and it doesn't like powering up unless it's plugged into a wall socket.
Is there any way I can RUU this or force it into fastboot or recovery?
press vol down + power button to enter bootloader and then choose fastboot
Sorry should have specified that I already tried that.
Is it unlocked or not? Does it have stock or custom recovery?

Where does power + vol down get you? Bootloader menu or bootloop again?

Did you try holding the power button for few seconds till capacitive buttons start flashing? After they stop keep holding the power button and press vol down. That should take you to bootloader menu

Sorry, seems I left out quite a bit. Was up late messing with it to see if I could get anything done and it was probably due to lack of sleep.
I believe it was after I had tried to RUU. Unforunately I don't remember with which .zip file, but I'm going to assume I didn't screw that up as I've had to RUU quite a few times and hadn't messed that up just yet.

I fail to understand it too. Would be an easy fix if I could get it into fastboot.
