DAMN! Something worked! It rebooted this time. After this little set up deal I'm gonna verify the new radio. What cuebask said above is exactly what I did. I think my error was the "mount /system" part. I hadn't been doing that before.
I'm definitely going to have to start setting up everything all over again though. I don't have a backup of my theme and all that now.
/ Got erased in the chaos of this process lol
...waiting for this set up/activation to finish...
Yup! Baseband is .13P! Good to go!
Now the excitement of downloading all my apps and everything again for the next few hours! YAY! (sarcasm. definite sarcasm)
