Re: FEH 2006 Battery Issues
I feel like I've preemptively answered your question twice. Let's go for three...
After a successful HV jump start, DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE until the gas engine has stopped after charging the HV battery. Once the gas engine has stopped, you may drive it normally.
As I think about it and my past experiences, it's likely you need to clear all codes before the car will start. In fact, it might be a good idea to disconnect the 12V overnight while you're charging the 12V to clear out all the codes. Reconnect it and conduct the 8 jump starts every 45 minutes.
Once running, if codes return, then a trip to O'Reilly is in order. I can't comment on pep boys as I don't know what hardware they use, but I have consistently experienced success in O'Reilly's Bosch code readers providing accurate diagnoses of multiple hybrids and their ability to read hybrid-scpecifc codes that most code readers can't read.

I get it now! Basically I start the car, let it run, and then eventually the gas engine stops running, at which point i start driving. thank you for hanging in there for a noob! i'm going to try this out tomorrow and will give an update when i can.
