Well, after running out of options, I bricked the phone this morning and brought my Moto Q out of retirement. Dropped by the store this afternoon and my new phone will be here Thursday. I'm on the fence about trying this flash again on the new one. If it fails again, it will probably raise some flags if I try to get another one. I want GPS, but not sure what i'll risk to get it...

Thanks again.

actually it should be even easier to flash now because your phone will have original settings.

To be extra safe, download the files on a cd or flash drive, take it to a different windows xp computer and redo the steps....

i bricked my first phone, got a new one the next day, went home to flash without chaning any settings on the phone and it worked.
