Root Phone is Stuck

Also remember to wipe cache after flashing to avoid bootloops. Let us know how you make out. :D
OB

And also also remember not to skip the part where you verify the md5 checksum. If you get a bad bootloader flash, you're gonna have a bad time.

You can recover from nearly anything with this phone. It's almost impossible to permanently brick this thing. But without a functioning bootloader there's literally nothing you can do. You definitely want to take the 30 seconds or so to make sure you got a good download :)
