I was having problems with my Wizard, so I flashed the Wizard Love rom and everything worked. But now, whichever rom I flash to my phone, my phone boots the Wizard Love screen and then the boot screen for that rom. Also, when the rom is loaded, there is a red, yellow, and grren line on the top-left of my phone.
I have flashed my phone with hspl and tried flashing other roms and I still get that colorful line on my phone.
How can I remove this line as well as the Wizard Love boot screen?
Also, is there any other methods of flashing roms onto my phone without using Shelltool?
RUU doesn't work for me for some reason.
Is there a way to get RUU to work with my G4 hspl flashed phone?
Thanks
EDIT:
So is this line on the top of my phone the battery life?
EDIT 2:
OK, so I managed to Flash my phone with RUU and now there is no more Wizard love Boot Screen.
Can you ellaborate at all, I would like to know how to change this as well please.
Ok, the red, yellow, and green line is (probably) a battery indicator. It's one of several different programs. You can disable it by deleting anything in \Windows\Startup\ with the word (or part of the word) battery in it. Usually it's DCIBattery or Batti. Most cooks are including one version or another, so I'm not surprised you keep getting it. If you're still seeing that line with the OEM ROM installed, then your display may be hosed (that's not the technical term, of course...).
You can change the boot screens to anything you want, without having to flash a whole ROM. It's kind of nice, since my OEM ROM is the hideous old Cingular boot screens. See this thread for details:

Hello there.
I´m really new but certanly i have read a lot on the forums. Still I have managed to mess everything once more.
I have a wizard love G4
ROM Version 2.26.10.2.wwe
Rom date 06/07/06
Radio 02.25.11
Protocol 4.1.13.12
ExtROM 2.26.10.105
Messed around with the splash screen from equinoxe and to make it work i needed to update the RUU from 2.00.1 that was on the installation files to RUU 2.5.2 that was extracted from an HTC.exe rom update download.
Finally it worked just fine.
Then, i decided to give it a go on the SoftSPL procedure in order to install the Black Diamond 2.0 touch rom on my phone so I placed the downloaded "Safe ROM" on the ROM folder. Started the application and everything was looking good. Then the RUU came up with the 2.00.1 version so I was a little worried, but then the so called white screen on the cell phone started but with a progress bar (how convenient)... I´m not sure if i was supposed to see the progress bar at all on the cell phone or just a full white screen.
Anyway, after 10 minutes give or take, the bar got to 100% and the pc software said Congratulations... but then the cell phone automatically restarted and inmediatelly it went to the bootloader three color screen.
I proceded with a hard reset before anything, right on the bootloader screen, (radio and voice buttons hold with reset button and then the send button accepting the restore to factory). Then the phone restarted but also in bootloader screen. So i decided to turn it off by holding the power button for a while. It did turn of, but this is where everything goes crazy... it does not turn on again... it even don´t show no led light when connecting the phone to the usb or the ac wall adapter...
This happened to me a few days ago using the shelltool with the same Black Diamond 2.0 Touch rom but probably i made a different mistake back then.
Anyway I removed the battery and the sim card and reinserted everything again, even tryed it out without the battery and direct connection.
When this happened to me the first time, I just leaved the phone without the battery all night and on the next day it turned on but on the bootloader so I drove it to our local unlocker that managed to re-install the wizard-love once again.
I´m wondering if anyone is having this same issues, or something similar.
Probably i should have ask first if the Black Diamond 2.0 was a safe g4 rom, which i´m not sure but won´t dare to try it again.
I had the same problem.
i'm afraid using the SoftSPL now :S
Try the TNT 5. I used soft spl to install tnt 5 from the wizard love rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328917
They have a touch version u can think about.
Yes!!!! I love it now!
I downloaded the last SoftSPF. Now it runs a little slower on the first checking part but then it turned the screen all white!!!! Beautiful scary little issue that fortunatelly equinoxe stated on the flashing instructions.
Then I went for the TNT 5.0 Professional with HTC Home Plug-in on my CID LOCKED QTEK-9100 (But that it´s actually looking exactly like a 8125 Cingular), and it did it!.
One question tough... I´m running windows vista on my personal computer so I flashed the cell phone on another computer at my office that has windows xp, but still inside the TNT 5.0 Professional installation pack there is a RUU that states Windows Vista Update Utility. I´m wondering if this would actually run under vista... If so, then I believe that you can make SoftSPF also run under vista by just changing the 2.exe file on the SoftSPF compilation with this Vista_ROMUpdateUtility.exe file on the TNT 5.0 Professional compilation release.
Anyone care to try?
Probably I will be trying to flash a new radio with this RUU Vista utility under vista, to see if it flashes... If it does, then i don´t see why you can´t run try it out under vista.
I´m attaching only the RUU for vista so you can put inside any nk.nbf with it to use it under vista.

Your screen should turn white, completely white... Not white with a progress bar. That is the RUU that you were seeing. Haret.exe cause the screen to crash and then it turns completely white. THIS IS NORMAL.
Try using this version: SoftSPL - RC1. Before I got a G3 and CID unlocked it, this version of SoftSPL worked for me time and time again.
Thank Dan.
Actually the new SoftSPL worked like a charm. The screen went blank as a crash, and 10 minutes later i was on a TNT 5.0 Professional Qtek.

No problem... I know before I got my hands on a G3, thats exactly what I used to upgrade roms.
Hey, I just tried to install DCD's newest ROM and it looks as if i may of bricked my phone. When i connect it to my PC, Active Sync will not even pick it up. this happened right after i ran Hard-SPL-MFG to unlock the phone... I did try and run the titan_exitbl but no luck. I also attempted to run the relocker but i would not even run.. any ideas?
thanks!
recover from flash
Are you at the 3 color screen? If so you need to unplug the USB and replug it again as per the instructions. You MUST follow the instructions EXACTLY or your flashing will be very scary experience.
If you are not at the 3 color screen, you need to get back to the bootloader by pressing power+camera and soft reset. This will get you to the 3 color screen. Then have a look at the version of bootloader you have. If it doesnt say Olipro 1.20 or 2.40 you still have the locked bootloader and you can flash a stock carrier rom. If you have 2.40 you can flash to the 3.16+ rom and then flash the new radio this way or via sd card install which will be more painless and less scary.
If you dont know what an sd card flash is, I would search the forums here. Over at ppcgeeks you can look up imcokeman's posts and see instructions how to do a sd flash.
If you are are real noob, I would suggest staying with non gps roms at this stage because the change of radio rom needed to enable you to flash a gps rom will almost certainly lead to sleepless nights wondering if you have bricked your machine.
Most important thing to realise is that the machine is almost certainly not bricked. But you might have a few more scary moments before you get your machine back working again. You might also need to call your carriers service desk a number of times to get your provisioning data back working.
Check all the way through these two posts and dont sweat too much. With effort you will get your machine back. The answer to your problems is listed in one of these threads, but you need to dig a fair bit to find it. The posts contain lots of problems that people had flashing this rom, and I am sure your exact problem was there and solved. Its I believe somewhere in the second link I have listed here.
Good luck. i feel for you.

It doesn't need to active sync. Once it switches to USB you are ready to flash.
Stuck at Verizon Screen/HTC Mobilty Screen
If you are stuck at the VZW screen then you have only flashed one of the two essential parts. You need both (ROM and RADIO) to make it work. 3.16+ ROM will not work with the old radio. You need 3.27 radio.
Use the camera+power+soft reset and you can flash the one (new radio or new ROM) that you are missing.
See dcd's thread about the 2.3.2 rom. He has added a HUGE new disclaimer.

Well nothing really worked so i used a sd card to flash back to the stock verizon ROM, i then attempted it again and got it all working!!!
Ok I have to send my phone in to ATT warranty dept because my screen is flickering like crazy for some reason. It looks like a bad case of VHold on a old CRT monitor. I am currently running Energy ROM and need to reflash to stock. Only problem is I can't read the screen. I did a hard reset on it just to see if it was a software issue. It loads the ROM gets to the align screen and when I try to align it it just seems to reset the align screen after pressing it in the 5 locations. What do I need to do to reload the factory ROM from HTC and is there anything else that needs to be changed? I really do not want to have to pay the $400 dollars they told me I would have to pay if they end up saying it is something I did or if they catch wind I had a cooked ROM on it.
If there is anything else you guys need please let me know so that I can get this issue taken care of.
Here is what shows on the boot screen:
R:1.14.25.05
G:52.63.25.34H
Y:5nergy ROM
Like I said I would be reloading the ROM directly from HTC website so if I recall the radio is included with that ROM but what about the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and Hard-SPL package that was installed to use the cooked ROM? Will they be able to see that was changed or will they even care?
Just reinstall them by the following order:
- Stock ROM (from HTC)
- RadioROM is not needed by the fact that's installed with the stock-ROM
- Flash Stock SPL (at the end of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150)
- Flash Stock ROM again to be sure everything is back to it's original state (After you have flashed the Stock SPL the Stock ROM can also flash it's own (because there are different versions (1,9/5.5/...)) SPL)
Good luck!
okay first off you gotta download the att rom located here http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=198&cat=2&dl_id=553 and get ur phone in bootloader mode, to do that take the stylus and old down the volume button down, and press the reset button with the stylus, located near the usb port. then plug your phone into the pc then run the update utlity and follow steps on the pc
I've been searching on how to completely restore my (T-Mobile) HD2 on this forum for a while and haven't came to it, so sorry if I'm repeating any threads.
Basically I'm fairly novice in flashing and things in that nature. I've been flashing updating Energy ROMs on my HD2 for about six months since I got the phone. Which was fairly simple to do. Since WP7 ROMs, I've switched over to flashing those. The problem is that 99%, it'll flash fine, then won't get past the boot screen. And on the rare occasion it does get past it, I can't turn it off, or else I'll have to trying getting past the screen 1000 more times to be successful. I think I have all the requirements to run WP7, but not exactly sure.
So I would like to know what to download and flash/ install for it to be as if I bought this from T-Mobile today.
Thanks!
I need help with this too..I craked my screen and am going to send it to t-Mobile so they can send me a new one, but I want to put it to factory reset. Ive looked all over cant find them...the post a couple up...links are dead
you do realize that if you cracked your screen your warranty is already void. it doesn't matter what software you are running at this point.

Sorry for MY late reply, but I put this phone away for a while and now my dad wants to use it. I've gone though the steps, but I can't get past "6. Hold the volume down key and power on your phone. As soon as the coloured screen changes to grey, RELEASE volume down." It never turns grey. I'm one step from taking this phone and throwing it out my window to see it shatter.

I have done a dozen of flashings on my Tmobile HD2 and works fine so far. Thanks to XDA forum all the tools I need are available right here on XDA !!! You just to search them out yourself (sorry I don't have the links ....... ).
I suppose you know how to flash your phone so I will not explain details how to do it.
In brief, to install WP7 this is what I suggest you should do -
1. Update flash radio to the latest available update from Tmobile US website, regardless of what ROM you have at present (version 2.15.50.14 is the latest, I think).
2. Flash HSPL 2.08 to your phone to maximize 576 RAM usage, if you have it (do not use SPL 2.08.000 as this will recognize only 448 RAM size).
2. Use Task29 to clean out the existing the existing ROM on your phone (this will erase your OS and you will only be booting on the white HTC logo screen). This will clear out those ROM leftovers on your phone.
3. Flash magdlr 1.12 or 1.13 on your phone (press power button on boot to show magdlr menu).
4. On magdlr menu scroll down to no.5 USB flasher, connect your phone to pc and run dwi.exe on your WP7 installer and wait till installation has completed.
I have done these procedures a dozen times already I have not encountered problems so far. I have been flashing and flashing to choose the best ROM (WP7 or WM6.5.x) I want. On personal note, I think I would settle for WM6.5.x cooked ROMs because of usability and handiness (I find WP7 too complicated to deal in terms of tweaks and handling of personal videos/photos file security).
Some notes:
a. You need to flash radio and HSPL only once.
b. Use Task29 every time you need to install a new ROM (your choice, but recommended).
c. After Task29 you can start out clean and flash to stock ROM or any other rom you choose.
d. There are dozens of videos on YouTube to help you flash but I have not seen one using Task29 to start the process of flashing.
This works for me, hope it does to you as well. Good luck !!!
I managed to break my original HD2 a while ago and I've only just decided to replace it. I have another main phone but I loved that I could pretty much do anything with my old HD2. I had a bit of experience with installing cooked ROMs before moving on to installing Android and WP7 on it.
As I had a bit of experience with playing about with software recovery/updates, I decided to buy a phone that was described as "booting to a white screen" off ebay. I thought it would be a fun little hobby to get it working again.
My first few steps would be to get it to stock and start playing with it from scratch.
I booted into the bootloader and tried to flash a stock ROM but it kept freezing at 0%.
I've since managed to change the SPL version from 2.08 HSPL (I could get the phone to boot into MAGDLR 1.13, so they must've been playing with WP7 or Android NAND) to 3.03.
I downloaded and installed the stock 3.14 T-Mobile UK ROM, but it won't boot past the white screen with the HTC logo. If I pull the battery out to turn it off and try to turn it on again, then it gets stuck at a blank white screen with no HTC logo at all. I'm very confused and would like some help if possible. Thanks in advance.
