i dont think its garrbled, i think the error code is sitting on other writing so it makes it look that way. if you followed the link i posted above and look at the pic on post 1; if yours does not look like that its not bricked. i dont think you need to take it back to sprint just yet. i dont think you even have to relock it just yet either. make sure the battery is charged. pull out the battery, wait 5 secs, put battery back in DO NOT POWER ON OR PUT IT INTO BOOTLOADER YET. let it charge, wait till after the superbowl be4 you start to mess w/ it so that way it just sits on the charger for couple hrs. then after that put a nbh rom file on the root of sd card to flash sd card method, theres a sticky in the rom section for instructions if you dont know how, then put into bootloader and try agian. or you can just put it in bootloader then plug it in to desktop via usb.
