lienman, i dont believe there should be any conflict updating directly to 3.35. My bootloader froze the first time i downloaded it too. delete/uninstall it from your programs, and redownload it here.

You can now flash the Sprint radio 3.35 (it enables RevA and gps).

Go there and follow the directions exactly as they appear. Make sure that you DO NOT, i repeat, do not, let the customizations run. i did and now im waiting for a new phone from VZW.
After that, flash your favorite flavor ROM. i was using no2chem's, ill have to update when i get the new phone.
