Hi there. I'm quite new to this, and I've been scouring the intertron for hours looking for an answer, with no luck. So here's my dilemma:

I was changing ringtones with P2K, and the phone reset itself for some reason. Then, it didn't restart until I unplugged it manually and held down the power button.

Once it started up again, it gave me the Verizon login animation, followed by a HelloMoto drawing, followed by another Verizon animation.and now it just flashes between a white screen, the Hellomoto screen, and my Verizon main menu.

I can access the menu, because it seems to be resetting the OS or something everytime it flashes. And the best part is, I don't know if I can flash this thing because it won't be recognized by my PC on the USB port. There's no service either. Did I just brick this thing?

Is there a special key or two that I hold down while I'm booting it back up to get it so I can reflash it? What do I do after I reflash it? (I have the reflashing MONSTER file, but RSD Lite won't recognize the device).

Any help would be appreciated. I'm stuck on a trip in Chicago with no way to contact friends.

Okay, so I got it to reflash, yes? But now it's asking me for initial programming. What do I DO?!
