Flytouch clone stuck on android boot animation

The ROM above has worked successfully for my clone flytouch the first time I applied it.

Two weeks later I attempted to re-flash the clone flytouch with it, but I ended up stuck in the android animation, where you can see only the android head and the square green box as his body. Nothing happens after that.

I tried waiting with the unit on, plugged in to the power source. Nothing happens.

I tried keeping it on unplugged until the power ran out, and then turned it on again with the power plugged in. Nothing happens.

I tried reflashing with a reformatted microSD card, FAT32 with default allocation (I have a 1GB microSD card), copying the working ROM script folder in it (I use a laptop on win7), and reflashing with that. Same results.

I have been advised to buy a new microSD card. I have done so.

I have copied the script folder on to it, directly, without formatting, straight out of the pack and applied the ROM to my tablet. Same results.

I then formatted the microSD card to FAT32 (etc etc). Same results.

I have tried this whole rigamarole on a winXP machine, with the same results.

Anyone have any ideas for me?

Update: I had been formatting my microSD card with the adapter inserted in the built-in card reader on my laptop, so this time I tried formatting to FAT32 using a USB card reader.

I loaded up the heretofore working ROM but now I'm stuck in "Prepare software package" -- the very first line when flashing. This is worse than before of course, because before I got up to the Android boot animation after what seemed to be a successful flashing.

Now it won't even flash anymore.

I'm about to throw a hundred dollars out the window, which is sad because I could have got a 2g iPhone on eBay with the cash.

Update: Downloaded the HP formatting software and formatted my microSD card there. Bit of an improvement, 2.0_88 rom flashing successful BUT

I'm still stuck at the Android animation - head and green box.

Followed the example here:

And let my tablet drain overnight.

Tried flashing with the ROM that worked the first time.

Flashing successful. Removed SD card and rebooted.

Still stuck on android boot up animation.

Also tried flashing with what is supposed to be default ROM 88_wmt2.1_20101018

Same result.
