I don't know what you mean by "remove the configuration of the flash".
Does that mean that you're restoring the old version of RedBoot? If so,
it *still* sounds like a baud rate problem, since you probably have a
different number compiled in. Or if you're restoring the RedBoot
configuration partition, the one you program in isn't set up correctly
for the RedBoot you're building.
If it's truly a problem with the flash load, I would be extremely
surprised to see any noise at all out the serial port, as such
fundamental problems tend to lock the processor up immediately.
