Shadoow - thanks for the help. One question? If i sbf back to stock and take the phone back in what does one saw to VZW? I am not sure saying.... the phone does not work once I try to flash a rooted version of gingerbread.
You could just go in and say it has trouble rebooting and it keeps doing it for no reason or something like that. Trust me I don't tell people to return their phone lightley but in this case I believe it would be for the best because everyone should be able to flash a rom and yours is preventing you from doing that because of what seems to be some kind of hardware issue.
Also are you getting the gingerbread.zips from mydroidworld or a different site?
