HOLY **** IT WORKED!!!!!
I went back into bootloader mode after popping the card in with the unlocker on it and then after I soft reset the device, it went straight into WM! Now I will finish running the unlocker so it locks in 2.31, correct?
EDIT:
Okay! I ran the entire unlocker and am now not learning a damned thing from my mistakes and have flashed JD's rom. LOL! Thanks everybody! You were all a lot of help!
EDIT2:
My dumb luck again - when the phone tries to boot after installing the one based on JD's listed here
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24979 the telus splash screen comes up and does not boot further. At the bottom of the screen it says "no radio". I am going to flash the telus rom and see if that fixes it.
Did my radio rom get lost in the shuffle??
EDIT3:
Reflashing with the Telus rom fixed it. This is most definitely a sign that I should not be trying to get GPS capability, isn't it?? LOL
