Recently Refurbished Apache hangs on splash screen when cooking any ROM.

[mwwoodworth]

Good afteroon forum,

I have a problem that I really hope someone can help me out with. I recently received a refurbished Apache from the Sprint store and want to cook the most recent version of WM6.1, but no matter what I try I cannot get it to boot past the splash screen. I'm using bootloader v2.02 and have followed the directions on other posts to remove the battery for a min or two and hard reboot, but to no avail!!! I'm not new to the ppcgeeks kitchens or BuildOS, I've cooked up almost every version of ROM on my old device since Helmi's WM6.0 ROM a while back with no problems. I've even tried just building the selection ROM without any additions. One of my selections that I had installed on my OG phone doesn't even work. This phone is nothing short of a paperweight without the WM6.1 functionality, at least to me. Can Sprint lock down phones so custom ROMs can't be installed??? I have tried almost every option imaginable to get this to work using my booloader of course but also using other versions as well, setting my RUU to standard and NoID, stripping the ROM down to the bare minimum and using previously successful selections as well. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thanks for your help.
