SPRecovery problem - "critical error: DEA1"...?!?!

ok, i finally decided to root, and barely got to the first step before i screwed something up! I opened RSD Lite, and double clicked on the .sbf file, and then hit start. but, it didn't finish, and this message shows up on my phone: "critical error: DEA1". what do i do now??? ANY help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!!

I got the same "Critical Error DEA1" message when trying to flash an sbf on my droid x
the bootloader is 30.04 and I got the sbf from the first download here...

(Droid X SBF)

it's rooted and running stock 2.2.1

I can't install update.zips or flash roms without getting the status 7 error, or get through the official ota gingerbread installation without it just restarting as 2.2.1

I read somewhere else that is may be a dead flash chip, if so what are my options?

thanks in advance
