Just a little FYI for those reading this post in the future.

I had to revert back to OS 2007 and then upgrade again to OS 2008. I could be totally wrong, but it's almost as if something in OS 2008 survives on the device even after reflashing. If I'm not mistaken, what I mistakenly did (reinstalling/flashing the same file over the top of itself again) should have still worked if everything was removed originally but it obviously didn't.


FYI- When I tried to re-install OS 2008 from OS 2007, in the update manager it thought the newest version (OS 2008) was already installed, but I went ahead and clicked next and it installed fine and now seems to be working okay. I think it did take longer to boot up this go around, but it did boot and that's the most important thing.

All is well that ends well and at least I'm up and running. I hope nobody does something as silly as I did, but at least now you have a potential solution. YMMV
