which from what i understand updated my radio to 3.35
after this i updated to a build--forgot the build
got home didnt like a few things went to change the build, now my phone is locking up every 30 secs or so and than i have to do a restart sometimes take the battery out sometimes hard reset..everything

any suggestions on where to start

First I'd just make sure the radio upgraded, to check your radio version:
Easiest way to do this is look for R when you reboot the phone, the number right after is your version

It could also be that your not running an unlocked bootloader...
Press Camera + Power + Reset to enter bootloader, does it say 2.40 or 2.47?
If not, then you need to install 2.40 Olipro or 2.47 NueSPL
