DO WHAT LKILLEN SAID. i had to rename the file to PC36IMG then boot up in what i call 'safe mode' and then run the update and BAM, factory condition.

NOW: i need help running through this to UNLOCK the phone so i can use it on a different carrier. what programs and such do i need to download and what process do i run this shit all in. i used the thread link that told me how to unlock that OMJ posted but its telling me to use unrEVOked, and all i have to say is f*** that. unrEVOked is what screwed me up in the first place. that and i probably was using programs and such that were outdated.

also, thank you OMJ, i was about to freak out if i just sabotaged a $600 phone. it boots up fine and i can use it now, its just not unlocked... yet...
