sorry i disappeared,guys
i kept checking this on my phone,but accidentally fell asleep on the couch
glad you got it working.
pretty much any RUU at this poing would get you s-on,but would also get you old radios if it was mr1 or older. i doubt theyd check that hard,but since mr2 is available id use it-its what a stock phone should have.
i
think that the .exe format would work,as i beleive the installer will find the phone in fastboot to start the process,but when the .exe is running,it puts the phone into RUU mode(not usually seen by most folks) and i dont know how this mode is affected by the EMMC failure.
also keep in mind,that were not 100% sure what the phone is doing during its update,as all you see going on the entire process is this:
we can assume that things are updated similarly to how they are when we can visually watch a PG05IMG update,so if the .exe fails halfway thru,the battery dies,etc. that you theoretically
should be back to s-on 1.04.0000,as the bootloader should have been the first thing to flash.
if you are certain that the battery charged back up,there is prolly no harm in trying the .exe. file. if it doesnt work,youll have batttery,or can recharge to run the PG05IMG file. but i guess what im getting at is that if time and/or battery are getting low, the 100% most foolproof way to get your phone back to returnable condition is to flash the mr2 PG05IMG file in hboot. i
know that will work.
as for yeahhas concerns about a custom recovery being installed,that is not an issue. the
SECURITY WARNING will pop up when certain hboots are flashed overtop of custom firmware(thats why the back to stock directions say to falsh the hboot second). the custom recovery is no big deal,and will happily just be overwritten with the stock one.
if you try the .exe,defiantely report what happens. if you want to just go the normal PG05IMG route,download it from here:
[RUU LEAK] Froyo 1.70.605.0 Radio 1.39.00.0627r - xda-developers.
if you have enuff battery you can use thes directions from the rooting methods thread(but since you are bricked allready i dont think its neccessary):

Putting current stock firmware and s-on back onto the phone
after getting the bootloader back to the original s-off,engineering 1.04.2000 hboot download these 2 files:
1)
PG05IMG_1.70.605.0_nohboot.zip
md5: c2c61df561e8a74cd103f0b9b89d81d6
and
2)
PG05IMG_hboot_only_1.04.0000
md5: 584a4cdc12658835cb2a7885e8e44fd2
rename PG05IMG_1.70.605.0_nohboot.zip to "PG05IMG",move to your sd card,and flash in hboot.
this is important! you must flash the PG05IMG_1.70.605.0_nohboot.zip
first
after successfully flashing that,you will be on unrooted mr2 with an eng s-off bootloader. delete the PG05IMG file from your sd card. now place the PG05IMG_hboot_only_1.04.0000 on your sd card. check the md5. once youve verified it matches,you can rename PG05IMG and flash it.
again,
only flash the hboot file
after you have successfully flashed the rom.
now you are 100% stock on latest firmware. unrooted MR2(1.70.605.0),with s-on 1.04.0000 bootloader.
as always,
be as cautious as possible doing hboot flashes,and follow directions in the
http://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/353591-how-some-root-terminology.html to flash these files if youre unfamiliar with hboot flashing.
*please start a new thread before attempting this if any part of this confuses you. without a bootloader your phone is a paperweight,so we want to help you
prior to making any mistakes
_________________________________________________________________________________
but if battery is a concern,you should just try and flash the entire RUU. i am 95% sure you can just flash the unmodified mr2 without worry of the
SECURITY WARNING popping up.
also props for going to andirc and trying to share your info. i guess at this point no one cares what actually happened. prolly most of the phones from those lots have been bricked and sent back so its not a huge deal anymore.
IIRC my serial # was just a few off from yours and ibricks. still waiting for my turn
keep my jacket and cigar handy,lol
