Javi -
i understand you are using PIC. Its OK. if the IRQ is high now, after sending the command - then you need to service it - (do a continuous read on the IRQ status register)
if you have screen shots or logic analyzer captures of your sequences that you can share, that would be helpful.
Here is some PIC code snippet for TRF, if that assists you, too.
