to everyone who helped me or may be in a similar situation, here is what I did.

I held the power button and did the soft reset several times, effectively doing a 100% power off

I left the phone to charge for about 2 hours, the phone LED turns red.

I took the battery out after about two hours for about 30 seconds and put the battery back in

I powered the phone on and the sprint loader popped up, the legit one with the HTC logo and "this is a test, not for sale" came up. ecstatic at this point more or less.

the phone booted and went to the ROM customizer that Sprint provides us. It installed without a hitch and the phone restarted as it does.

I then had to repeat the first few steps to get back to Windows Mobile.

At the home screen everything was fine and working, took about 3 mins to find reception and everything was banging. but...

I had no phone number so I had to call *2 and talk to someone to reactivate the phone, they gave me a special number and I got to edit the radio.

overall I guess patience paid off and the phone somehow reset its self I suppose.

Thanks for all of the help that you guys offered, I really appreciate it a lot. To anyone who is in this situation, GOOD LUCK and I hope my post helps.
