WOOT, thank you for all of your help. I really appreciate it guys, this forum is amazing. In the end, connecting via USB and running a RUU from the computer fixed it. But I still really appreciate all the methods people gave me, thank you.
Do I need to relock it before sending it back to sprint? What's the best way to do it

Now I'm scared of relocking. The last time I did it (screwed everything up) I downloaded the relocker, put it on a formatted fat32 SD card, reset into bootloader and let it do its thing (soft reset hold power+vol down.). Where did I go wrong?
