OP just pit it in bootloader and flash your shipped rom.
Then if you want to unlock and flash a custom rom read up on it before you do that.

Tried running the file and nothing happens?

I'm in bootloader, but I don't know how to flash the stock rom in that mode?

I don't know where you got the file from your first post, but download this and then flash while in bootloader.

There's also what I believe to be WM 6.1

You can't unlock the phone from bootloader mode, and unlocking the device won't accomplish anything. However, if your device is unlocked, that could be the cause of your problem. The latest MR2 update from VZW does not work with the HSPL. When you're in bootloader mode, is there a line that says something similar to "1.0-Olinex" on it? If so, you're unlocked and will need to either re-lock the phone, flash a custom rom, or you can find Mr. X's fixed stock MR2 update that will allow you to use the stock software on an unlocked device.

Phone may have been unlocked when I bought it. On the rainbow screen the second line is "SPL-1.00.OliNex". Does that mean its unlocked?

Yes, your phone is already unlocked, which is why it isn't booting past the first screen. You have a few options. You could just use any of a number of different custom ROMs from the CDMA Upgrades forum. Each has their own pros/cons, but tend to be more stable/up-to-date/faster than the stock rom. You could download the Mr. X fixed MR2 update. Mr. X was kind enough to fix the problem with the MR2 upgrade for those that were unlocked but still wanted to use the stock software. It's available in the upgrade forum or on MightyROM. The third option is to download the re-locker and re-lock the phone. You can get the re-locker from Olipro->Creations(&Unlockers); - RhodiumW Hard-SPL, toward the bottom of the page.

OP, I suggest flashing one of Vin's latest. Click my Plutonium banner & you'll get there.

I would try to latest Plutonium w/ CHT2.0 for starters...

Thanks to all for the help. I've learned a lot tonight. My phone is unlocked, and I believe it had MR1 installed. I tried to download MR2 from Verizon and learned that it won't work on an unlocked phone. I was able to go back and flash MR1 with the phone in bootloader. It appears to have worked, and now in the process of setting it back up. I have much more to learn before I try flashing again! THANK YOU to all.
