With alot of patience and perseverance, and of course, the help of the geniuses on this forum, I am happy to report that my phone is now WORKING! Actually it was a combination of downloading the EveryWAN Software, as MrObvious suggested, and going into bootloader mode as horndocter suggested.. I was in the process of loading the software while the phone was connected to the USB and pressing the volume down & power button and doing a reset when mystically, the phone booted correctly!!
I was able to backup my data, and the phone is now working again normally! I cant express my thanks enough to you guys here, too bad the tech guys working at Sprint aren't as skilled with phone repairs- had I went with their recommendation of a hard reset, I'd have lost everything.. Thank You PPC Geniuses!!
