yes , I removed everything, nothing seems to be working, I am leaning towards flash corruption (physical or caused by flasher), I would not be surprised if we get a new flasher sometime in the future, it may have something to do with the devices state when flashing? The first time this happened to me I was using only the windows flasher when it died, this time it was the linux flasher. The first time it was reflashed maybe 3 times. The second one was reflashed from windows and linux multiple (15+ times when testing bootmenu) without issues before this problem.

I am so tempted to replace this with the 770 at COMPUSA. This will be my second n800 to die, I had 770 for over a year and never had an issue. I could never do it though, no matter how much I would like to.
