I was flashing CRC's 13 and it hung on me at 92%

Tried to recover and it failed.

It cannot get to AS
It will not get past the spash screens

I've tried the SD card flashing method
Found out it will not use SDHC, so I bought a 2gb SanDisk

That wouldn't work. Found a post that said that someone had issues with SanDisk cards, so I bought a Lexar 1gb SD card

That wouldn't work. Both cards provided the same result (00068002 and went back to tri-color loader screen)

Am now reading up on the KITL method and DLing all kinds of stuff from MS

arrrrgghhhhhh!!!!!!

OUCH!! Good luck man, hope you can revive it. You've probably been over to XDA for help, I hope?

I fixed it.

I ended up DLing an official ROM
Extracted the files until I found the *.NBH
Connected to USB and used that RUU installer, which did push it to the device.

It worked, then I flashed the CRC13 rom I wanted via SD

Glad it all worked out Rad

I never could get HardSPL to install over AS

However, using SSPL.exe on SD card it installed fine.

SD flashing from now on... (lesson learned)
