I've flashed my phone a couple of times trying the various roms with out issues. I wanted to go back to stock and that's when things went wrong. I just get the rainbow bootloader screen when I boot the phone. When I go on to load the image, it starts and I get a progress bar at 0% and it never gets any farther. I tried loading from the microsd card and I get the grey screen and it it says loading but doesn't go any farther. I've tried to load previous rom images that worked before and I still get the same results.

Is there a way to reformat the nvram to all zeros and start again? I've seen this on usb thumb drives where I had to use DD to completely write 0's to the drive before I could get them to work again.

I really don't want to make a claim on Sprint's insurance if I don't have to.

Thanks

try taking out the battery for a couple seconds and reinserting.

will the phone boot competely to winmo if allowed?

make sure to try resetting your pc (or trying a different one...have had that be a problem for unknown reasons).

edit: also, what does the bootloader screen say now? numbers and such...
