7100g No service issue

[pbr959]

hi everyone, i am new here and new to desktop manager. i am trying to update my OS on my two 7100g phones. my provider is CellOne. since CellOne merged with AT&T, it looks like I just use the AT&T OS updates from blackberry's website. the following package is what i downloaded:

"BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.1.0.556 (Multilanguage)

Package Version: 4.1.0.556
Consisting of:

* Applications: 4.1.0.377
* Software Platform: 1.8.0.154
* File name: 7100E_PBrER4.1.0_rel556_PL1.8.0.154_A4.1.0.377_AWS .exe
* File size: 36.42MB"

...i followed the instructions executing the above file and then going into Desktop manager (it recognized i needed to update). everything went smoothly until after it finishes. (i did check the settings>about and i confirmed the 4.1.0.377) when i go to turn on wireless, the indicator says "Searching for service...", then after about 3 minutes it just says "No service". I turned the phone off several times and still same results except one time one of the phones did pick up a signal and i made a test call but right after the call the signal went back to "No service" which i thought was weird. Is the package I downloaded right? there is an emblem of "Cingular" on the bottom of the phones but i don't think that matters because both the phones are unlocked. any ideas, i registered now since i am stuck lol, hopefuly i can learn more here. thanks!

Its been a few years since I did that, but first have you done a battery pull to reset the phone?

does anyone else have any input, these are the only two phones i have so i have no mobile phone right now, i'll prolly have to revert back to an old os if i can't get this resolved today, any help would be awesome, thanks everyone.
