After numerous reboots (PC & PPC) I started thinking that I was having the same problem that caused me to return my old phone. I was getting ready to re-install Windows on my laptop and try again and the LIGHT FLASHED BEFORE MY EYES. I finally realized that the SD card I had in the phone was the same one I used to flash the old phone manually from the SD card and it had a RALPHIMG.nbh on it. So, once it entered the boot mode, it was trying to flash the ROM AND also the unlock program simultaneously. Once I realized that and removed the card, I finally got the unlock program to work properly.

LESSON LEARNED: Make sure that there is no .nbh file on the SD card you have installed.

PS - If someone was asking me to troubleshoot the issue...I never would have thought of an nbh being on the card as the problem
I keep an .nbh file on my SD as a security blanket, but I rename it religiously or else.... Same with the SDconfig.txt.... good habits are painful to learn and implement aren't they?
