Phone locked during boot after flash.. help!

Hey all,

I have a sprint mogul, and this is actually my third one. In the past, I've flashed and it's worked fine every time.

The most recent one, the screen broke after a fall so I got a replacement, and flashed olipro unlocker, which all went fine, leaving me on the tri color screen.

Now, I went to flash a cooked ROM (20931 I believe) with some customizations, and it has crashed and burned, apparently, freezing on the second screen during boot. By second screen, I Mean it's on the second one that one chooses in buildos. This is essentially the same ROM I flashed to my last mogul, except a different dialer, so I don't know what happened.

The very bad part is that I've tried and failed to flash a new rom over the top, because it can't detect the phone even when I have it hooked up.

I'm desperate here; does anyone know of anything I can do to save it?

Thanks to anyone who looked. I found a solution in the mean-time, by way of holding down the Power and Camera buttons at the same time. This dropped me into boot loade and I was able to install the sprint 6.1 rom from there.

Did you use Olipro 1.2? That bootloader will get you stuck or make device keep re-booting. Make usre you have 2.4

I did use 2.4, that's the weird part. The only other thing I can think of is maybe radio, because that hasn't been upgraded on this one, but I can't find the radio ROM that I had used in the past anywhere.

I've been able to install the Sprint official 6.1 ROM, but so far everything else I've tried (both 20931 and 20924) have frozen on the second screen during boot and never gone any further.
