jamesus,
thought that none of the other roms were getting me anywhere (yes i did try JBabey and colonel's) that the original vzw rom wouldn't get me anywhere, but downloading it to give it a try now, thanks for the prompt reply.
friend just msg'ed me on aim and told me about the bootloader thing, heard about it before (record and power button) but wasnt told also needed to then press hard reset in combinatiion...then plug into usb..
It's flashing now
