Ok i have been trying to just get my phone to work not really looking into getting nething new for it right now but the other day i turned off my phone to charge it and then when i went to turn it back on it was stuck in the bootloader screen if im not mistaken (red green blue white bars) and i cant get it to boot up my phone i tryed useing the never brick method and i got a new spl but dont know what to do after this can someone please help thanks
"Never brick method"? Who's your source for ills and leaving you hanging? What new SPL and what are you attempting to achieve?
Use the Wiki link in my sig (also linked with a sticky thread at the top of the forum entitled 'NEED HELP?? LOOKING FOR GUIDES?? NEW?? Read the XDA-Wiki for the Titan before posting'.
Return back with what you've attempted and read if you still cannot resolve your problem.
my objective is just to have a working phone turned this phone off to charge it and then went to turn it back on and the phone boots to the red green an blue stripes cant get rid of it
i dont know what to do thats why im posting does anyone have a clue where i can start i dont care if it has modified firmware or w/e on it i just want my phone to work i think verizon isnt gonna give me another warrenty replacement so im just wondering if neone can help me fix it without dealing with buyin a whole new phone

So you are saying your phone is just stock rom and it did this?
Are you sure you have not messed with flashing anything?
what version does it say the SPL is?
you said you flashed an SPL? What version?
These things all need to be compatible versions. This can be fixed pretty easy, but the method to fix it depends on what you have done, and what versions of SPL, Radio, and Rom you had when it broke, and what Versions you have now.. and what you did to try and fix it.
Reply with accurate information and I'll tell you what to do to fix it.
Any method I give you may require an SD card thats less than 2GB and non SDHC. You'll need it formatted to fat32... do you have this?
i dont know if it will help since i am still new to this, but does the power+camera+soft reset reboot the phone back into the bootloader ? and if so can you just reflash via sd card?

Thats pretty much it... but depending on the SPL it's got to be flashed with the right versions.... so once we know at LEAST what SPL, and hopefully the radio.. it'll be simple.
Also... What provider do you have? (sprint, verizon, etc...)
AND do you want DCD 3.2.6 or do you wanna stay with a stock rom.. I can help you either way.. no difference in ease to get it done.

marcus, you have start by demonstrating a motivation to help yourself.
Starting a thread with the rather ambiguously useless title of "Help" is already a big no-no.
Second, I have given you the links to the Titan Wiki that will explain what you are seeing and routes to go from there.
Third, people here can directly rehash info from other sources (such as the wiki or their own knowledge) but it's rather like shooting in the dark since you don't seem to be too concerned by helping yourself as you still haven't stated that you have bothered to read the forum's fundamental resources and return to specifically state where you are at.
Common upgrading problems explained and solved is found from the main page of the Titan Wiki under the heading of Problems and Questions
(!Pleeeease read here before posting on the Forum):
P: My device is stuck at the Red, Blue and Green Screen?
S: 1. To exit the bootloader, press the reset.
2. Connect your Titan to your PC's USB and then on your PC execute titan_exitbl.exe
3. You may need to reflash the Radio/Operating system ROM

Sounds like it is a stock Verizon phone pre MR1. If you are not interested in free GPS then get the MR1 update from Verizon and run it with that boot screen on the phone connected via USB to your computer.
If you do want free GPS then follow the WiKi basically starting from scratch with a new phone. You could also try to hard reset the phone and see if it will come back alive as well.
Just to clarify, you can actually get third party GPS working on MR1 (see this thread).
i got a warrent replacement and shouldnt have even mesed with it i went to update to windows mobile 6.1 and it will start to update but make a noise on the computer like it was disconnected and say error my spl no is 2.07.000

2.07 I believe is the "Locked" spl from Sprint or used with NueSPL relocker. If you want to flash the latest MR1 update from Verizon, I'm assuming, don't quote me on this, you can do it with this spl. You still may have to "Relock" it to 1.07 or below using Titan-Relocker, not NueSPL's version. What does your phone display now? Still 3 color?
the phone is displaying tita100 spl-2.07.0000 below that it says cpld-9 and at the top right it says ruunbh and where can i get the relocker at?
It's stuck in bootloader mode. Use the attached utility to "Unlock" the bootloader "MODE"
OR....
if you are going to flash to a custom rom... copy a TITAIMG.nbh file to your MicroSD card and hit reset.
its saying cannot open usb port. please make sure, that usb connection in activesnc is disabled. Also make sure, that your usb cable is properley connected. i went an made sure it was disabled and it is connected right

Best steps to take....
Disconnect cable.
Get into bootloader mode.
Open activesync and uncheck the Allow USB Connections and Allow Connectsion to one of the following. Click OK to make sure it takes.
Then connect the USB cable.
When Bootloader says USB instead of Serial... then execute the titan_exitbl.exe
ok it didnt work i unplugged everything the cable from the computer the cable from the device and went into activesync and unchecked the boxs went back in to make sure they were unchecked they were then i plugged the cable up waited like you said for the usb and ran the file got the same message......thanks for your patients with me.......
by the way i dont know if u know this but it is stuck in bootloader i cant get into the phone at all so the micro sd card wont work

I am real close to confirming a FIX to at the least get MY hermes and other outta being stuck in limbo. Quick Run Down: I HAD my HERMES stuck it Bootloader Mode, well it would get stuck everytime I tried to flash the OS ROM with WM6 (the offical ROM from HTC site)The upgrade process would start, but then it would get stuck at 11% EVERYTIME!! I could get it back at all!! It was stuck in Tri Color Mode!! But a guy I know(guy I bought the Hermes from) is a MASTER at this stuff. He knew more than ANYONE here and he doesnt even use a HERMES?? Anyways I am gonna try my method 1 more time to confirm that it works!! But here is the kicker I have NO GSM after recovering from this HORRIBLE error!! So if you want ur hermes back to use the wifi at least, STAY TUNED!!
NOTE: My METHOD isnt the casuse of the NO GSM, I think I did that when i messed up flashing my OS ROM
But I do NEED to know on how to get my radio back?? I now have a NO GSM error when I turn my hermes on!! I am using the Official WM6 ROM from HTC

The reason the official ROM died at 11% is because around 11% the radio portion of the ROM (radio.nb inside the nbh file) is being flashed to the device. Simple remedy to this to get your device booting into windows mobile is to flash an OS only ROM (nearly ALL the cooked WM6 versions are OS only...but you can make any ROM OS only using duttys nbh tool). This will get you back into window mobile but your problem is that the device has a corrupted radio flash on it.
The problem, as i have already explained in your other thread about this, is that since your flash procedure was halted by you accidentally resetting the computer halfway through a flash the radio portion of the flashing process was probably interrupted and therefore you have most likely caused an irreversible corruption of the radio area.
Unfortunately for you this is probably the only way now to permanently brick your device, as in the device is no longer a phone it is a pda only......in my opinion still a brick.
As I have already explained the only thing to try is (once your device is bootable) to try and flash a radio only ROM.......if this doesnt work im sorry but you have no options, unless you can actually get physically at the chip with JTAG or some other hardware flasher.
The tone of your post in this thread, this post AND this post suggests that we on this forum have not been forthcoming to help you fix your problem......not true. And regrarding your 'Fanboys' rant earlier had you actually read the wiki and un-bricking threads you would see that ALL the info required to revive a hermes (if it is indeed recoverable) has been well documented for over a year now.
NO this method has BROUGHT me outta Tri-color mode twice already, everyone who seems to have this problem has a COMPLETELY USELESS Hermes it wont even turn on, at the leaset MY way will get u back into Windows Mobile, (it worked for me)
yes...as i said in this sentence above:
This will get you back into window mobile but your problem is that the device has a corrupted radio flash on it.

Again your device still has a corrupted radio thus isnt working correctly. Having a Tytn which has a non-existant radio is as bad as a total brick.
OKAY if AND when you are able to START the UPDATE process, meaning you see the PROGRESS BAR appear on your HERMES and ur computer. PULL THE USB CABLE AND as FAST AS HUMANLY possible hit the SOFT RESET button!!!
I mean AS SOON AS YOU SEE THE PROGRESS BAR appear on ur HERMEs, You gotta yank out the USB and HIT RESET SUPER FAST, it will shock ur HERMES and bring you back into Windows Mobile!!!!!

Now I dunno I have NO GSM, big deal, that is FIXABLE and I dunno if this IS the CAUSE of having NO RADIO
IF YOU WANT to at the LEAST HAVE A Hermes to BEGIN to FIX give it a try, , I have BROUGHT MY HERMES outta be stuck in TRI COLOR Mode 3 times by following this METHOD, I didnt have a GSM but I dunno what the cause of that is, you might have to flash a RADIO or whatever to get that BACK, but if you want the HERMES back to AT least play with GIVE it A SHOT
ffs, READ.....
NO GSM and an error during flash points to a PERMENANTLY dead radio area on the device...ie NOT ABLE TO FIX THIS.
when your computer was reset it resulted in a failed radio flash...dead radio. There is no way to fix this.

NO GSM.....................what do you think that means???? NO GSM shows the radio portion of the device is corrupted, the radio stack is responsible for the phone functions on the device...the GSM functions.
The directions i showed earlier are IDENTICAL to what im saying now......since it hasnt worked your device is not fixable. Booting into windows is easy to achieve but you wont be getting back the phone functions any time soon.

Final post since you BLATANTLY don't understand the device or what you are doing...hence how you ended up in this position.

jaysus boy,will you ever relax, read the posts fully and use ALL the resources available in the forum as well as the excellent wiki site.anyone, including noobs can, if they follow the guides,flash the os/radio of their hermes with more or less complete confidence.Mr vanx himself produces some of the best and most idiot proof guides available but i suppose a few get thru!
do not abuse the good nature and generosity of the rom gods in this forum 'cos you broke your phone,read widely,chose carefully and make your choice.if you cant fix it then send it away and get a proffesional to fix it if possible.
good luck then

Here here... Well said.
The type of brick help was requested with is well documented - and while "the fix" the OP described in this post may work for him - it's more likely to cause more problems if someone innocently tries this on an unbrickable phone. Interrupting a flash is always bad advice - and a little reading up on No-GSM bricks would have been a start - or the FAQ on "getting stuck in the tricolour screen!"
There is no such thing as "shocking" a device back into life. You've been watching to much ER where they defibralate humans - doesn't work with electronics generally
There is restoring an OS image, there is (if you're lucky) recovering from intermittent bad blocks by doing a couple of flashes but it's much safer to just flash the bits you need by carefully making the .nb files required using dutties NBH tool then making your own NBH to flash containing just an OS image or just a radio image - or whatever you want to try to flash. If a flash gets stuck - it's getting stuck for a reason and that reason needs investigating before trying things which are known to cause bricks in the first place hence you strip the image down and see what flashes and what doesn't. If noobs don't recognise problem solving techniques - then they haven't read enough before trying to show off an upgraded phone to their mates and should stick to manufacturers updates only. Harsh but in my opinion true.
Sorry, I'm about to have a late night rant...
The reason many experienced users don't always reply to calls for help immediately is because all the information known is well discussed and well documented and people get tired of effectively cutting and pasting solutions to "noobies" just flashing an image not knowing what could happen and what to do if the worst happens and what to do when it all goes wrong. The front page of this forum usually has 3 requests for help on it to solve a brick issue - and generally all 3 are the same type of brick so should an experienced poster have to post the same thing in three threads? No.
Even worse - many newbies don't start with the obvious basics like flashing HardSPL or they end up with a brick and then try to unbrick it by doing so many other things that they end up with a hybrid brick and don't even know what steps they did to make it! Sadly, I feel that if people can't be arsed to read up on stuff and just want to have the very latest thing to show off with - then they deserve the brick they get (and should sell it real cheap on ebay so I can buy them up!) At the end of the day - everything on these forums should be considered experimental and non-supported. If you want full support - go to your network, HTC or Microsoft and PAY for it. If you want to join a community who loves experimenting and discussing the issues then join in, support the forum (make some donations to the good people who keep things ticking) and most importantly learn about your device.
My first upgrade was well over a year ago - and it took me about 2 months of research into de-bricking - and plenty of bookmarking - before I even attempted it so I knew what could go wrong and at least what steps to take to recover my own device if it happened.
Have I bricked my phone? - Of course while experimenting with cooking roms - I've unbricked them using others posts and the wiki here and I've never had to ask how to do it - but I have had to spend several hours reading (with lots of patience and learning a lot in the process) but at least when I flash I know the risks and don't just scream that I used <insert whatever ROM> here created by <insert poster> and it bricked my hermes therefore it must be <insert poster who released the ROM> fault. Nor to I slag off things that don't work - be it ROMs, procedures or advice.
The advice to anyone who is a noob really is to read, read and read - Do your research and know about your device before you tinker with it. Not to the level of being able to explain what each GPIO carries - but at least to understand the different parts of the device - the different images and what to do if any part of those images doesn't quite work properly (ie - bricks)
And if it does brick... DON'T DO ANYTHING until you know why it's bricked and have read the unbricking threads and the wiki. Someone WILL respond if you list what you've tried and what happened when you tried it. They don't respond to "help, I flashed xxx and it doesn't work."
The wiki and unbrick threads might be long but virtually every brick is covered and it's better to know about bricks before you end up holding one in your hand
Rant over.
Hey guys!
I know this topic really dosn't belong here, but i know that the guys in this forum has much knowlegde so i am trying here!
I have this HTC Hurricane phone, and yes i have asked there but no one seems to be able to help, and then i wanted to flash WM6 on it. For that i needed another SPL, which i got from there and flashed it. The flash it self went fine
But for some reason now, the Hurricane can't do anything at all. I can't turn it on normally i just get a white screen after about 10 seconds after i press the power button. The same happens when i try to get to the bootloader (!), all i get is a white screen after about 10 seconds of nothing. When the device shows me this white screen i also can't get it to connect with my PC! The computer dosn't see it at all, not just active sync, but i do not get that windows xp sound when i plug in a usb device.
So, what can i do? Is this a really good example of a bricked device or what?
I hope you guys will accept that i write here. The Hurricane forum is as good as dead, and i know you guys here for your expertise!
~D
I think JTAG or similar or replacing hardware (DOC Module) might save it, but I don't think there is anyway to flash through USB without the bootloader working...

G4 rom dump?
Hi xda-members,
I wanted to know if it's possible to backup and restore a G4 device. On the wiki, it says i need a CID unlocked device.
I think if you hardSPL your device, it should be fine (HardSPL circumvents the CID checking procedure).

No, it is not bricked. You should just have to flash the Titan Unlocker, refer to this thread->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423177
That should get you going. After that you will need to flash a rom with radio.3.4+ (perferably 3.42.50), or flash the radio, then flash the rom.
If that doesn't resolve your issue just search for Titan Relocker
Thank you !! greatly appreciate it trying it now

Dude I dont want to be mean to you but I have noticed the past couple days you jumping right in.. With knowledge or not.. What are you trying to do? Your answer is wrong as the User states that he is stuck in bootloader, to flash a bootloader needs to be done from a functioning OS.. Also by the looks of his bootloader it was never unlocked so how could he use the re-locker?
There are far more steps then just flashing an unlocked bootloader from where he is at in stuck bootloader. He may need to run ExitBootloader before trying anything depending on if he can reset the phone and it doesnt go right to bootloader (that would mean stuck bootloader)
Hint * Exitbootloader fix (if stuck in bootloader meaning even a reset will not get out of it), then Branded Carriers Stock ROM (User should know if it was GPS or not), then Olipro 2.40 Unlocked bootloader, then Custom ROM and GPS Radio.
Thank you Ryan ! I'll search for exit bootloader now ...

Here I cringe and wince to have to post this link at ppc dorks but its the first thing I found with easy instructions. Read the part about the titan, disable usb connections by right clicking active sync icon in taskbar and then plug the phone in after putting into bootloader (i know its stuck, just do it anyways, power + camera + reset button for couple seconds) Then run the Exitbootloader.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9229
Then from there follow my previous instructions, you need to put the Stock ROM back on the phone whatever carrier its branded to. Then while in the Stock ROM's OS re-enable active sync connections and plug the phone in and make sure its synced and working properly. Then flash the Olipro 2.40 bootloader. Then while the phone is still in the olipro 2.40 bootloader flash the Custom ROM you want to use and then the GPS Radio. Perform a hard reset and pull the battery for a couple minutes. Then you should be set to jet.
Ok I think I rushed into it without waiting for your advice & now I'm out of the first screen but stuck in htc mobility/ no radio screen.. wtf ? am I that dumb ?
It keeps saying that my device is not connected to the PC... I made sure about the USB option in active sync & stuff... pls help

Make sure you are using Active Sync 4.5 and not using a Hub. Make sure to plug the USB cable into a main port on the PC. While the phone is unplugged. Manually put the phone in bootloader (power + camera + reset "little hole near memory card slot" buttons for couple seconds and release), make sure the active sync usb connections are disable from active sync connection settings on your PC's taskbar. Then plug in the phone (while in bootloader in to computer) and flash your Stock Branded Carriers ROM by running the Rom Update Utility EXE, RUU or exe however it comes. Once that is done you can unplug the Phone and let it boot up customize and all. Then re-enable the active sync usb connections in connection settings (PC Taskbar Active sync icon) and plug the phone in. Should sync up. Icon will turn green. Now flash the Olipro 2.40 bootloader and let it do its thing make sure to pay attention. When it is done it will still be in bootloader, then you can go ahead and flash your Custom GPS Titan ROM and GPS Titan RADIO followed by a hard reset and battery pull for a couple minutes.
You're a great teacher.. awesome step by step instructions... after all this, I think I'm gonna stick with the stock ROM ... so much for the flashing & all that !
I'll keep you informed about the progress .. thanks a million !!

No problem, well if you stay with the stock ROM stop before the Olipro 2.40 bootloader. That is for GPS ROM's only.
So if you are a little nervous and wish to remain stock follow my instructions up until the Olipro 2.40 part.
If you wish to continue and go the Custom ROM route thats up to you. Just remember if switching Carriers you need to Load PRL, Do PST and QPST settings. Plus the Custom ROM may need a Carrier CAB installed and registry edits for MMS. With my Custom ROMs you do not need Carrier cab or registry edits (but you still need to do PST/QPST and PRL) . I have 5 carriers to choose from right now for example.

If you are using Windows XP, Try installing these drivers to your Computer, restart your Computer, make sure you are plugged in to only a main port on the pc, unplug every other usb device just to make sure. and go over the steps again. You may need to pull the battery and let it sit for awhile, then put the battery in (do not power up) and charge for a little bit. Then try again.
Thanks for your patience ..greatly appreciated !

No problem, I am pretty sure the Stock ROM you need to flash has to be NON GPS as per the bootloader that is on there now. Just making sure you know that.

3.35 is still GPS. You need the NON GPS Sprint ROM.
i just bought my hd2 fromt-mobile and naturally couldn't resist but to modify it
So i installed and flashed the HSPL2 with no problem it worked perfect and very fast and easy....and i installed Mesus Rom and love it did my registry tweeks got the phone running awesome!!!
Now i woke up early was browsing on htcpedia and glanced at the new DOPOD version radio.... well..... it installed fine no errors but when it got to 100% to reboot BLACK SCREEN. I've tried getting the phone into bootloader mode nothing, tried a master reset holding down the volume up and down at the sometime and press power nothing, i've tried to plug it in the computer it recognizes it my computer makes the connected to a device noise but when it goes to initialize the hd2 i get this driver error:
Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM failed.
i've also read once u have hspl or hspl2 installed it can not be bricked can someone please help me on some step by step and some links
the radio i flashed that caused this was 2.051.03(DOPOD)

I hope so for your sake, however... When you say you have a HD2(T-Mobile), do you mean the US one?
Flashing guide for TMOUS HD2 states:

PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION IN THIS GUIDE BEFORE INSTALLING HARDSPL OR FLASHING A ROM/RADIO. IF YOU FLASH AN INCOMPATABLE ROM OR RADIO ON THE 1024LEO THEN THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE SO PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL!!

Is that this one (2.09.51.03)?
Says in the post there it doesn't support 576MB RAM. That would probably mean it's not compatible with the TMOUS HD2. I vaguely remember that being the case for any version with 51 in it.
Sorry to be completely unhelpful here, but I wouldn't have a clue on how to revive your HD2.
Perhaps people in the TMOUS HD2 Flashing guide thread might know something?

chalk another non-starter up to a ..51.. radio on a tmous phone.
still not seen a fix
is the tmobile us hd2 recoverable or is it bricked out?
sorry, not sure. see other threads HERE (post three) and HERE , , it's also mentioned in the mtty and the HSPL (regular HSPL and tmous HSPL) threads.
As far as i can gather so far, roms below 2.10 cause not to boot, but can recover from bootloader, radios with a ..51.. in them cause it not to start at all. (because ..51.. radios don't support the 576mb, presumeably)
Best of luck.
I am having the same problem...I can boot in to bootloader mode and in to restore mode but there is no display on the screen the computer detects it and everything and I can flash the phone, but nothing ever comes up not the tmobile screen or anything...I had this problem when I first got the phone only the backlight would come on, but I took the battery out for a few minutes and then it worked fine until the battery died then the problems started again, then I flashed it with the with the latest tmobile us official rom I could find and it worked until I turned it off and then I could not get it to turn on again. I somehow through some voodoo or something after trying the restore feature like 20 times got it to come on, the I had to take the battery out to put in the sim card and now nothing...The thing I can't understand is why windows recongizes the phone and I can flash it but nothing changes nothing just a blank screen with the backlight on I can attach to it with mtty and everything I ran a task 28 and task 29 and reflashed it nothing I have tried cooked roms and everything still no display...Someone please help...I plan on returning it for a new one except there are none in my entire state, I have called every tmobile store in the phone book and none know when they will get more in...

sounds more like a dodgy phone than a bad flash. wait for stock and get it exchanged.

i really hope you mean pissed at yourself, that rom is about as far away from compatible as they get for the tmous.

i am pissed at myself. anyway i got a new phone now.
how do i go back to original firmware if i flash a cooked rom?
they need to remove the .51 versions, i just bricked mine and all i saw really was to not install it, not that it would completely brick it. I'm really upset.

That info is still in the same thread that y'all should have read before bricking your HD2's. Many (and I mean many) of us flash our HD2's all the time, run ROM's custom built to even let us run the latest and greatest Android builds available.
When you and the OP (iirc) get some fresh HD2's, read the info and links in the stickies here. There's enough info in those to get you well on your way to mastering your HD2's destiny.
Best of luck.
So true. ALL chefs always warn ab NOT flashing .51 radios on TMOUS HD2 or they posting links to HOW TO FLASH TMOUS HD2.
Dont rush with first flashing! Thats the best way to brick ur phone!
Always read the forum! Thats the bast way to make ur phone happy

no you didnt, you said teh phone goes into bootloader but then the flash fails, (or words to that effect)
That is quite common and there is usually a simple workaround
However, since you arent interested in testing my advice, i wont bother telling you it and you can find it yourself.
did you go to the boot loader manually or not ?
Yes I powered off device then powered on while holding the volume button and then connected usb, it still says serial
anyone?....
