I think your best bet is re-attempting to flash a SBF using RSD Lite. Try with RSD Lite 5.6 (it can be downloaded from here).
If you are able to flash the SBF successfully, you may end up in a boot loop. To resolve that, get into Recovery and do a wipe data / wipe cache.

---

That must be the same with Sensation, if you flash something new, you need to (edit: deleted).

---

If you can get into android recovery format system, format cache, format data then try and run your sbf. you must clear out cm7 prior to sbf.

---

Thanks for the advice, but the battery on the phone died! Is there a way to charge it?

---

USB trick...

---

I did all of this, then installed the SBF. Here are some screenshots of my progress.
Mounting the sbf in RSD Lite:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Failing to flash:

Yeah, it didn't work so well.

Didnt realize you had already done all of what i posted in your other thread. That's why you got kindof bashed on for making two of the same thread Saying it failed is actual normal in most cases. Mine always says it fails but always works. Reboot your phone and see what happens.

---

After using the sbf, I reboot the phone and for the first time it looks like it might actually boot up. It gets to the "Sprint" screen, Where it says "Welcome to Now" once it shows "Now" the phone hangs there, then goes back to the Motorola screen. Not much luck here so far.. :/

Will do, I'll try it a time or two again.

---

Is there any way to charge this thing? I think that's why the sbf isn't working. :L

You would have to do the usb trick. Take an old usb cable, cut the opposite end off and strip the wire slightly. Place the positive wire on the positive panel on the phone, and the negative on the negative. Plug it into your AC adapter and it'll charge. Theres videos on how to properly do this on youtube. But its really not hard.

---

Oh, so it's like charging a car battery? Seems simple enough. I wish these wires weren't so damn small though! xD

Think you could show me to a video on this? I don't want to jump into it without knowing what I'm doing.

Here. Terrible quality but you get the idea. Also, i told you to do it with the AC adapter. Use your pc instead.

---

What? The AC adapter wont work? Damn, a wasted 2 hours charging nothing lol. Will the battery get hot or anything while charging?

It will probably work, I just don't want your battery to explode so I opted for less power and longer charge time to be safe.

Those 2 hours on the ac adapter are enough then?

I had the same **** happen to mine just the other day, were you unlocked before and used any 2.3.5 rom. I was on mofish, then went to cm9, wifi broke relocked and tried to sbf but nothing but boot loops, tried cm7 but the only way i could get mine to work had to unlock again using fastboot, install jokers cwm v4, and i had to flash, skinny, shadow our mofish again that is the only way it would boot and work, order a replacement i think they did something in the new software build messing with the bootloader
