I installed the OMJ M2D on my touch and it exploded!

I had the WDM M2D on my touch and it just seemed a bit slow so I was gonna try the OMJ clean and see if it was any faster. Typing on it got to be really hard and kind of irritating. Most of the time I was typing significantly faster than it could pick up, and this wasn't a problem when I had the OEM installed with the Diamond keyboard.

Anyway, I was unlocking the phone with coke, and then I ran the RUU for the OMJ flash and at about 11 percent it just froze. I wasn't running any other programs or anything. It went into recovery mode but it doesn't seem to fix it. I'm using another phone now but I kind of want to fix it if possible. What can I do?

Try running the 0.40 unlocker, then run the new sprint official ROM, then try the 2.31 unlocker and installing your ROM of choice. I'm running WDM 1.5 clean and it is the best ROM i've ever run.

alright, will do. Is that rom really slow for you? I don't install anything really and the non-clean version was sooooo slow.

Ah, crap. I plugged the touch into my computer via USB and it doesn't even get recognized in activesync. Bah, am I screwed now?

Just put your phone into boot loader mode, and flash the official Sprint ROM. You should then be able to load another custom ROM of your choice....

Can you press power/camera buttons and softreset, you should get a rainbow screen, usb mode

It's supposed to freeze for a good little while at 11%.

No, it runs better than the stock ROM did. What version did you try?

It froze at 11% and then the application crashed.

I tried the WDM 1.6 loaded version, the one with all the applications preinstalled.

What crashed? the sprint ROM? or was it 0.40 unlocker?
I like clean ROMs, try 1.6 clean after you get back to a working phone. Re-download everything too, might have a bad file.
