Last weekend my phone got washed in sea water and I stupidly never got rid of the battery instead I turned it on and it crashed. After that I took it to a repair shop, they cleaned it and managed to turn in on again and everything was working except the WiFi. I could also make calls.

In order to fix the Wi Fi problem I flashed the phone to 2.2009.51-1.002. I tried to install PR 1.2 (US version) but when I turn on the device it says 'missing pictures'. So, I flashed it to '2.2009.51-1.002'

After flashing the phone it doesn't detect any cellular signal (Network) and when I try to make a call it shows "General Error" and never shows the AT&T logo (my carrier). Plus the wifi can't detect any router either which mean the problem got worse.

I will really appreciate if ANYONE can help me on this issue. I already spent over $70 and really dissapointed with it and I am in love with my N900.

I live in North California (Bay Area) and will be very helpful if anyone from the area can help too. I am a newbie when it comes to Linux and so if you throwing code line at me please put all the steps and be detail about it.

Thanks in advance.

I asked him to help me replace the wifi modem then he said it's all built-in.So, no way to chage it.
