I can get them, but they are costly! List is $500/each in NA region. Actual price is a bit less, like $400-420, but not less (excluding the huge gov. contracts).

It's near impossible to restore your radio. You will need FLASH cable and kernel upstart file, and probably boot file. Two last are factory service center available only.
