Unhappy HELP! I've "bricked" and can't upgrade...!

After three attempts to download the proper updated Radio ROM and the Titan_No2Chem_5060 version of Windows Mobil 6.1 for my Verizon VX6800 - only to end up "bricking" the device as it attempted to restart - I am now on my 4th unit. Sadly, I am NOT a novice to this procedure, either! I've tweaked and customized many a device before this!

The first time... no, sorry. The first time I loaded the Sprint version of the 3.35 radio and just didn't catch the 3-2-1 countdown. Not good. Sure - the phone worked, but only in ROAMing mode, as it was using Sprint software in a Verizon device. Nothing would switch that "Dunce Cap" off. Not even a countless amount of attempts at dialing "*228". Trip one to Verizon to beg for a replacement.

With the second device in my hot little mitts, I mistakenly started with "Titan_Relocker.exe" - and I guess - not the UNlocker version. Safe to say - I was SOL... and not getting beyond the splash... that now said I had NO RADIO and wouldn't load anymore. Back to Verizon I went - and shared my situation with the techs. I figured NO ONE could be SO STUPID as to not only skrew-up three perfectly good phones, but also be honest about doing so. Thankfully, I left with my third device in less than 24 hours... whereupon I promptly started with "Hard-SPL-MFG.exe", and once that finished, I tried loading "Nex_3.35_No2_Vzw_SPB_FIXED2.exe" - and did just as was suggested and let it completely reboot (I didn't think I had to stop it from loading all the carrier software, since it was - after all - designed to work for VERIZON based devices (right?!?). Anyway, it looked for all the world as if it did what was desired, that is - until it, too, LOCKED UP - just after showing the system info at the Splash screen of the 6.1; in fact, that is the second time I fell (stupidly) victim to my own ineptness. Not just once, but THREE TIMES. Each time, I (thought I had) followed the developer's instructions to the "T". I can not express just how frustrating it is to NOT preform what is perceived to be a very simple task!

Any suggestions would not only be appreciated by me, but many other readers of this forum... I'm SURE!

Thanks for your kind consideration and assistance!
