Yeah thats what I was thinkin, except when I tried flashing and I pulled the bettery out after the first splash screen, when I turned the phone on it only went to the first splash screen and then froze...I had to reflash a new rom and just run through all the screens and did a hard reset and everything worked fine for me that way, so I dunno where I went wrong...
