Bricked PPV6700 using new Browser

I installed a new web browser called MinimoCE_0.2 on my PPC6700. Begain using it when the PPC6700 stopped responding to any inputs and it seemed like programs were starting and ending as time went by all by themselves. Couldn't do a soft reset so I took out battery. After I put the battery back I could do a soft reset but it gets stuck at the green splash screen. If I do a hard reset I get to the "Yes/No" question but the the phone again don't respond to inputs (screen taps, key presses, etc). I CAN get into bootloader (1.0) but what do I do then?? Also Active sync don't connect. I Had Verizon Guy's ROM installed. Any help??

Souinds like its time to replace the phone... Still, (with the battery out) slide out the keyboard completely and press every key several time to make sure none are sticking... do the same with every button around the outside and on the front of the phone... Clean the screen carefully but firmly... Finally, put the battery back in, plug in to power too via the USB and then try turning on... Hard Reset and Flash to a Stock ROM and hard reset again if necessary... If it still fails, you probably have a hardware fault...

Problem was that it needed a hard reset. When the Y or N choice came up I was tapping on the Y on the screen and nothing happened.

When I finally hit the Y on the keyboard I was able to get going again.
I don't think the original problem was because of the browser but I think I'll wait for someone else to try it first.
