well my mood just changed cuz my woman called me and i should be getting some home cooked food tonight hahaha, so im feeling good...

here i'll explain it as simple as possible.

wm6 has nothing to do with this, you were running the stock rom with the old 1.40 radio, you had the old bootloader which would load your old configuration. then you had the phoe running with an active sync connection and upgraded the bootloader to 2.40 which is not compatible with the old radio and the old stock rom, therefore it cannot boot your phone.

the file you are downloading will update your radio to 3.16 or whatever with wm6 not wm6.1. you wont need an activesync connection to run the rom update utility. after that everything will be compatible and your phone will boot up.

hope that helps.
