Help stuck in bootloading screen

[accurato]

what I'm getting when try Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037/or relocker is "error 262 communication error" after it hangs at 0%. I'm using vista 64 and i am using the same cable and port that was used to unlock the phone flash it a second time successfully but not the third so i dont think it's the cable. If i try to load from sd card just hangs at 0%. I have tried the following:

Bell Stock ROM TP
Bell_Elite_RC1_RC1_21234_20090624
task29 Sprint v1.12.34F
Hermann_C_SPRINT_WWE_1.03.651.3_RS1.03.15F_SPCS_1. 53_PRL6063_Ship
Raphael_CDMA_Relocker
Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037

They load alright get to the page where it shows my current image version, and it is blank. I pick the version to update it starts, phone and comp switch to loading screen and it stay's at 0%. After a while it now comes up with an error that say's ERROR (294) : INVALID VENDOR ID. Near the exit button just above the exit button is a code

B a3-RBRK<567-SQEVc568-RBRK<5670 if that can help in any way.

Only Hermann_C_SPRINT_WWE_1.03.651.3_RS1.03.15F_SPCS_1. 53_PRL6063_Ship gets to 1% before it goes into the reboot startup loop where all i see the the touch pro screen then reboots, all the others just stay at 0% with the error above .
These are just a few i have tried MightyROM4_06.20.09_Herman, task29 and others but it just wont sync up. Although it say's usb on phone and they do seem to start to sync when i first plug in the phone using the usb my mobile sync center does not recognize the phone nor can i access any of the files because it's not on my list under comp.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Should i resign myself to a new bookend or paper weight. I have tried the hard reboot also. Getting into the start up where it loads all the manufacturer defaults after pressing vol Up then goes back into loop cycle unless i boot it into the tri color screen. I have tried all the options listed above with no results. Ive been reading about a gold card sd would this perhaps fix my issues.
