Try flashing stock shipped exe. rom with your computer, Take your microSD out because its trying to flash from it expesially if you got a RAPHING file in it.

if he had an RAPHIMG.nbh on his sd, thats be more beneifical for him... then he can just press the keys for bootloader and it should skip over that screen and go right into the flash/push power prompt, right????

I say flash using the computer because I don't think its possible to flash a shipped exe. rom with the SD card

You're welcome, glad that worked out... it's a nice little trick to try if you are able to get to the boot loader... this is also good if you setup a sd card with a rom on it as previously stated

I'm having the exact same problem and I've tried a hard rest. Tried a soft reset, and have even tried to flash my phone from the SD card. Phone just stays on "Loading..." after the bootloader screen. Last time I tried it the phone sat there for three hours and did nothing. Any ideas?

I followed the steps above, reflashed Mighty's ROM and everything looks normal. The PDA ROM Update utility couldn't show my current firmware's version before flashing Mighty's... I thought that was strange.

In any event, thank you all again for the help! I've fixed my phone and learned something new!

On a side note: Mighty's ROM is awesome, I don't think it was at fault for my phone getting stuck at boot... I blame the texas sun, I think my flash memory got a heatstroke and forgot its contents

in my experience, the version will always come up blank when flashing from the bootloader, but when flashing from within another rom it displays correctly.
