Need major help: Security Warning and No Images!

[Ballbearing]

Today, my thunderbolt was working well until I powered it off for a plane ride back home. Once I turned it back on, nothing happened. It was just blank.

I then proceeded to plug the charger in and it brought me to the Pink-Backgrounded Security Warning with the Mecha XD SHIP S-ON
HBOOT

etc..

At first, I was worried that my phone was bricked. Then searched around the internet for assistance.

I first tried doing this:

I had no luck. I downloaded a new PG05IMG and I tried using another SD Card with no luck either. It still says wrong image.

Does anyone know what other approaches can be done? Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong? What I did was download the zip file and I reformatted my sd card. Then I pasted the PG05IMG onto two different micro sd cards with nothing. Looks like it's not recognizing the new file, perhaps?

What file are you trying to download? Does it have an MD5 to check if it's corrupted?

Hey nate44,

Thanks a lot for the recommendation!! I'm gonna check that chat out right now.

My bolt is stuck with a Security Warning, so I figured that if I can download and paste a new PG05IMG into a formatted sd card, that when I insert it, HBOOT will automatically recognize it and start fixing itself, but apparently this isn't working.
