Didn't work either.

Did you remove your SIM card then flash?

Of course I removed the SIM card, the SD card, changed batteries, etc. I understand your suggestion in case I missed something obvious such as that, but this isn't the case.

If I went as far as doing task 2A in mtty to wipe the phone flash almost clean and I even relocked it with stock 0.63 SPL that I can't get out of without ActiveSync then I tried all other options.

The fact is that it might be that Bad Block 768 that could be cause of the problems but I'm hoping that there might be a way around that. I don't know if that Bad Block is a red herring or was it there before this and I just didn't know about it and it wasn't causing any issues.

I'm still hoping from a Thumbs Up or Down from an experienced phone hacker to tell me if this phone is dead or if there is hope.

FRAK THE PHONE - IT WORKS!

After getting back to the US today my wife turned on her "bricked" phone and the thing booted up like nothing happened, straight to the Sprint OEM ROM that I flashed to it as the last thing.

It seems that it needed a CDMA signal to initialize the Radio ROM on boot-up so that it could continue the test of the way, without CDMA the phone got stuck in a reboot-loop.

I still have no idea how this happened to one phone when the other was just fine.

This thread reminded me of Cast Away.

Glad to hear your wife's phone is fixed.

I'm damn glad too. Phew!

Frankly I wasn't planning to turn it on at all and just ignore it because of the corrupted memory block 768 thing that seemed like a sure thing but turned out to be a red herring instead. That's why I followed up on this thread and posted that it's fixed now.

Luckily she's the one that turned it on and it worked, glad that she did that because I wasn't going to do it today. Instead now she has a fully working phone, I did Hard-SPL, Radio Unlock, Security/CID Unlock, 2.32.00 WU radio flash, an new Energy ROM 21916 from yesterday. PIM Backup doing a restore of her stuff before we left on vacation and she's back with all contacts, history, etc. except those 6,000 text messages she had before making her phone choke and crash.
