Excalibur bricked: I HAVE to flash the original ROM and I don't have it, what to do?

After doing a bad upgrade my Excalibur got stucked on bootloader mode (I corrupted the original ROM or image)

I tried flashing with many ROMS and some cracks (including USPL-RUU) and I learned that:

1. Given that the phone is CID Locked, I can only flash the original ROM: RUU Movistar/Telefonica Spanish WM5 (or something in these parameters), and

2. I can't use the CID Bypass since such requires me to make an activesync connection (something bootloader mode can't do).

The problem is that I don't have said ROM (and I cannot find anything on google that even resembles it)

What can I do?

1. Is there a CID unlock than can be done via the micro SD card?
2. May Hard SPL work?
3. Does anyone in this forum have the ROM I need?
4. Is there a ROM I could use that doesn't check for vendor ID?
5. If I get a hold of another Movistar Spanish WM5 Excalibur, can I backup the ROM?
6. What company may be the equivalent for Movistar/Telefonica in the U.S. or Europe? If I know this would it's original ROM work? (i.e. If Movistar/Telefonica where owned by T-Mobile, would the T-Mobile original ROM work? (I've tried the T-Mobile one though and it doesn't work))

The phone is just 3 days new, I don't wanna take it back yet, I don't like giving up and this great community has helped me a lot... all suggestions are more than welcome!!!

P.S. I must add that USPL-RUU doesn't work because I corrupted the original image, the WM5 to WM6 upgrading process quit at 16%, deleting (I suposse) quite a bit of the original WM5. In fact, I get this version in the bootloader screen: 1.27.0000
