Stuck on boot screen, and just vibrates

Hey guys,

I flashed my friends TP2 to standard MightyRom a couple days ago. And today he just came over and showed me that his phone won't boot. When I turn it on it vibes quick, as usual, and shows the Touch Pro 2 screen, also normal. But then it just stays there, doesn't even load the rom/radio info in red down at the bottom. And after a few seconds it just vibrates, constantly, until I pull the battery.

I've done everything I could think of. Flashed the updated MightyROM, didn't work. Flashed to stock, didnt' work. Did a hardware hard reset, that just vibed when it was done, didn't even reboot the phone. So I just relocked it and he's gonna head into Verizon and talk to someone.

I just wanted to ask if anyone has any idea what went wrong. He told me that it first happened when he pulled his headphones out of the jack, it just rebooted and started doing this whole thing. I've searched, and searched, and no one else seems to have this problem. I don't think it was the flash, because my own TP2 has never had this problem.

Any ideas?

The flashes themselves appear to be successful. And I did get the hard reset to work, just had to wait out the vibration. But it still didn't fix the problem.

I got up, pulled my headphones out of the headphone jack, and bam! it restarted and went into this infinite loop of aggravating me to no end...

Anybody have a clue? The phone belongs to Sqwee there, and he's already getting a new one from Verizon, but the techie in me is screaming to know what actually went wrong and/or how to fix it. HAHA! So any input would be appreciated.

I guess every one else is as stumped as us? lol

Did you enter bootloader mode then flash back to a stock rom?

Yes I did. Was even able to relock it. But the damn thing would not boot up. Like I said, it's already been replaced, but I'm just really curious as to what exactly happened. To prevent/fix it in the future.
