So hopefully someone may be able to help me... Initially I was already on .893, rooted, and running Eclipse ROM. I unrooted (was planning on getting back to factory reset...), and then started following the directions in the OP. Running runmebbb seemed to be working, it pushed a bunch of stuff to the phone, then it rebooted. The script never seemed to actually finish. The phone would get to the "Touch the Android to begin" screen, but never go any further.
The script outputs:
Code:
sending 'webtop' (262144 KB)... OKAY [ 25.027s]
writing 'webtop'... OKAY [ 13.378s]
sending 'webtop' (54016 KB)... OKAY [ 5.443s]
writing 'webtop'... OKAY [ 3.190s]
[*] Rebooting phone...
rebooting...
[*] Rebooting the Phone
[*] Waiting for device...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
But it doesn't go any further. The phone boots to the "Touch the Android to Continue", but never goes anywhere. So I powered off, then back up into stock recovery. I flashed BOTH zips in the same session, which seemed to work (both applied successfully) Now if I boot up, I'm still greeted by the "Touch the Android" screen. There is no cell signal, and even if I connect to WiFi, it never gets any further. I touch the Android, it says that this may take a few minutes, and there it sits forever. Am I screwed?
When running the runmebbb, the script is supposed to end, and the CMD window disappear, right? That's not happening on mine. After it pushes files (system, webtop, etc.) it reboots the phone. What should happen on the phone at this point? Is there something I need to do to get the runmebbb script to continue?
I'm downloading and will try this method
Unbrick Motorola Droid Bionic With RSD Lite 5.5 [Guide]
If it works, I'd like to try the OP method again, but I'd like to know more of what to expect during the process...
Update: I can't even get that unbrick to flash. RSD Lite just comes back and says
Code:
Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. 1/15 flash cdt.bin "cdt.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL.; phone connected
Also, if I go into the stock recovery, and try flashing the update zips again, I get
Code:

Urge to kill...rising
Update: on a whim tried the 8/15/2011 targa_cdma_targa-user-2.3.4-5.5.1_84_DBN-55-110814-Verizon-US.tar.gz flash, and this time it's GOING! Well, it's been on step 1/15 for quite some time now (cdt.bin), but I'm just gonna let it go.

Hmm...it's been on step 1/15 for about an hour now...worried about battery. I know it takes a while, but this seems like it may be broken.
