Basically, when I power-cycle/reset my Vogue (WM 6.1 when the problem started happening), it only seems to want to boot into the bootloader screen. My radio is up to date at 3.42.50 and I am currently using NFSAN's latest WM6.5 build with CoKe 2.31 bootloader. I can use my phone/data connection/GPS normally when I finally do gain access.
Bandaid solution one involves pulling out my battery, plugging in the charger cord, waiting 20 min, pulling out the charger cord, putting battery back in, powering on. This will get me out of bootloader mode, but next time I power-cycle/reset, im back into bootloader mode. Very hit or miss as it doesn't always work.
Bandaid solution two involves using ImCoKeMaN's titan_exitbl.rar uni_exitbootloader program. Ive read this entire thread, and I did make sure I was disabling ActiveSync/Mobile Device Center. Only seems to work on a specific XP machine (of two I have tried it on, and never worked on my Vista machine). Again, this will get me out of bootloader, but next time I power-cycle/reset, im back into bootloader mode. Works almost every try. Sometimes it takes two or three tries, unplugging and plugging the USB cable each time.
I would just say screw it and use the above methods to keep my phone working, but if im out on the road and I get stuck in bootloader mode, I would be in trouble. Plus, it just wouldn't be very stylish to have to tether a Windows XP box to my waist just restart my phone properly each time lol.
Anyways, I have tried flashing back to the latest stock Bell ROM and the problem has persisted.
I have flashed NFSAN's latest WM6.5 build onto my phone twice using ImCoKeMaN's 2.31.CoKe Unlocker to unclock the phone twice, and the problem has persisted.
Is it possible to change a value in the device's registry, or something such as that, to incorporate ImCoKeMaN's exitbootloader?? Is there some other file I could modify to ensure it restarts normally unless I soft-reset it into the bootloader on purpose? I am at my wits end on this one guys. Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance guys!

let me preface my advise with this tidbit:
to exit 'stuck in bootloader' you can also try just flashing a rom from the storage card. there are several threads dedicated to 'flashing from card' and its also my preferred method of rom flashing.
1) change radio
2) flash back to stock shipped exe
3) lock/unlock
4) downgrade to non-gps and then upgrade back (read disclaimer)
disclaimer: this advise is just what i would do. if following my advise should lead to the bricking of your device then i will not accept responsibilty.
i know you said u flashed stock, but there's stock dumps and then there's stock shipped roms... so make sure its a shipped rom. if swappin to another radio (which i also suggest flashing from card) nor restoring to stock shipped rom fixes, then perhaps your bootloader is corrupted? idk if thats even possible but if you relock after flashing stock then your phone should be 100% factory!
i have added #4 since i dont know offhand if complete restoral requires downgrade for your carrier. if there is not a gps shipped stock rom then downgrade is required. otherwise it would be retained as yet one more step you could try.
my answer would be the same for 6800 or 6900 (only the files would obviously be different)
