Thanks for the ideas. I followed the onscreen instructions, diasbling USB connections as well as shutting down AS programs through task manager. The uxit program WAS working for me several times the day before. Now it acts as though it worked, but the phone just blinks and stays in bootloader.

I was avoiding putting the 2.4 unlocker on it as it was still stock and I was using the OEM ROM. I was trying to find if ALLTEL had an updated bootloader (mines 1.04) but I haven't found anything.

Thanks again for everyone's input!
