ok i did manage to flash the stock rom from the sd card. everything went great install completed and it says update complete update success. i pull the battery wait about 5-10 secs and then restart the phone. the tri color screen comes up. now what?

Oh dear, that's unfortunate. Some people have had luck by disconnecting the bottom hardware buttons when this happens, but there's no simple "do this" answer .

i guess the only thing i can ask then is this. is there any way i can get it going with the win 6.5 on it so i can sell it? and could it have been something i did to the phone? and if i took for repair, do you have a ballpark as to what it could cost?

have we considered that maybe the volume down button is stuck in the "pressed" state?

well i guess i will take it in then, that now seems to be well past my comfort zone.

just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all of the help. the service tech checked out my phone and determined that it is an issue with the mother board. I found some available on the net for $100+ and then add another $45 to install. we have decided that it is not a worthwhile price to pay for a 4 year old handset so we will be scrapping it. my wife still has one though, so I probably will be back on these forums again.

A little update. I bought a parts phone from a posting online and replaced the mother board myself. Followed the directions from a video online, and all went pretty good. Powered up the pone after re-assembly, and let there be life! Flashed Nexus Jelly Bean, and the phone works great. Thanks everybody for all of your help.

one thing though, the phone will not accept a charge from the usb port, but it is recognized by the computer. i can flash mods and all but i have to charge the battery from a wall cradle by taking the battery out. does anybody else experience this problem?

Try a different USB cable or port. Don't use a USB hub plug directly into the computer.

It could be a faulty USB port on MB too...
