Can someone please help me? I tried flashing a new rom to my phone and now nothing works. I installed the hard spl to unlock the phone. I then installed a rom update utility. When I flashed to the new rom I screwed up and did it while the phone was on the today screen. Now the phone just vibrates and says TOUCH pro then shuts off. It keeps repeating this. Now the active sink says it cannot connect with the phone. I don't know what I can do now, or if a completely screwed up my phone. It is brand new and never even been activated. please email me at [email protected] if you can help me.
Thank you,
Mike
sounds like you need to do some reading... flashing from the today screen isn't a problem, just gotta have an activesync connection.
put your phone into bootloader mode, and then flash a stock/shipped ROM that is meant for phone. since you've got a cdma pro i would suggest making sure you're flashing a cdma touchpro ROM.
ppcgeeks is a little more geared toward CDMA phones than here on xda

I posted this in the Titan forum by mistake. Sorry for the duplication
I need some help...I'm freaking out...
I cooked a ROM with dcd's version 1.6.9 for BELL a few days ago and it was wonderful and worked great.
Today, I tried to upgrade to version 1.6.10 and I f___ed something up.
It starts the htc boot up screen as usual, then the Bell screen comes up as usual, then a Sprint screen comes up briefly and then the Windows Mobile screen comes on and HANGS........
I have tried cold reboots, and nothing. I cant connect to it with USB.
I can kick myself for making an error because I was rushing......
Can anyone please help............................

Try the hard reset.
If that doesn't work then try the bootloader mode and reflash it.
Hard reset
Hard reset did not help, it hangs on windows mobile screen.
Can u give me a bit more detail on how to get into the bootloader mode?
I figured it out. You have to but it into bootloader mode by pressing the POWER and CAMERA buttons at the same time and then reboot.
Then load ROM as usual'
Thankyou
You are the fing master. OMG mine was in the EXACT situation and i was freaking out. its currently reloading the ROM back on. Thank you soooooo much.
it probably happenned because modules overlapped, run g'reloc before building to avoid this.
So after having my Mogul for quite sometime, I figured it was time to upgrade the ROM which includes the GPS, etc etc. I followed all the instructions to the "t" and when I go to update it, the phone goes to the tri-color and says "USB" at the bottom...but on my computer, it stays stuck at 0%.
I've left it go for almost 30 minutes. I end up having to shut down the update and reboot my phone. Luckily my phone wasn't affected at all. (whew!) I've tried this three times and all end up being stuck.
I'm new to all this, so ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I've searched for this same occurrence but have not read about any resolutions to the problem.
Thanks for any help!
Anyone have any suggestions?
Right now I have ROM version: 2.09651.3
I have downloaded a ROM for the Quest 'version' of the Mogul which is 3.35.656.2....will this work?
I dont get why it wont update and install the ROM.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
what version of bootloader are you using?
if its not giving you an error try letting it go overnight. Maybe its just going REAL slow.
Other than that, try one of the intermediate ROMs first, or try re-downloading the ROM and going from that.
The process is pretty simple, sync, backup anything important, establish activesync/MWDC connection, run the RUU, press yes several times, restore backup/resync.
Did you ever unlock the phone? The sprint ROMs wont load with an unlocked phone, AFAIK.
not sure what you mean by version of bootloader....
As far as running reall slow, not sure, I might try that if nothing else works.
I'm going to try the 3.35 ROM and see if that works. So stupid that it is such an easy task, yet it doesnt work....and I never "unlocked" the phone...its basically factory straight from Sprint. Again, it was bought back in December 2007 so the ROM on it is pretty 'dated'
I'll let ya know what happens...
2.09... lol.
that rom was slooow. screen flickered.
lockups.
your problem is that you cannot use a rom from a different carrier unless you unlock first. Just get the latest sprint rom and flash it.
edit: perhaps i read your post wrong. do you have the sprint or qwest rom? the qwest rom will not work. the sprint rom should work fine providing the phone has not been unlocked with olipro 1.2. Check the bootloader version when in the tri color screen. if it says olipro 1.2 then you need to update to 2.4.
If it's stock then you should be good. you could try putting the phone into bootloader before running the ruu. sometimes this helps the connection since it doesn't mess with activsync. to get to bootloader hold power + camera and hit the reset button.
Hi Guys!
After rooting my hero g2 i put on a new rom, this one... romraid.com/paul/hero/3.1-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip followed all the steps on the site and when i'd finished and rebooted the hero the Hero screen came up and the wee android waved at me, then the screen came up with "screen locked" and when i tried to swipe it to unlock it wouldnt move, i also noticed there was no signal to the phone, after rebooting it it did the same thing again but this time i managed to swipe and unlock it, it then had the loading circle in the centre of the screen but this froze and then the Hero and HTC startup screen came on again, again, it would unlock if i was quick and the timer circle started and again froze, then went back to the Hero and HTC screen and it just keeps on repeating this.
I have to pull the battery to switch it off. Any help would really be appreciated, there isnt much about technical stuff here (cos i'm a noob at this) but if theres anything you need to know to identify the problem and hopefully give me an answer, Please! ask, i'll let you know, oh! and there's now never a signal (although the correct time came up) the signal bars have an X across them but i usually get 3 bars.
Nothing happens when i try to connect to PC
Any help really would be appreciated.
Thanks
First of all.
1. Did you wipe before flashing the custom ROM?
2. Did you follow any advice on particular versions of the Radio that may be required for your ROM?
3. Are you using a GSM Hero? You said Hero G2, which sort of implies that it may be a T-Mobile G2 Touch and thus GSM, but it is worthwhile checking!
Regards,
Dave
The following steps should be considerable:
1, Wipe your phone(If you don't know what that is, search "Recovery" first. Such action will make you lose ALL YOUR DATA). Madaco do not force wipe your phone but if you don't do so, it stuck there just like yours.
2, Flash madaco rom a second time (don't wipe AFTER it, wipe BEFORE flashing it.)
3, Boot your phone, your contacts should be there if your login to gmail account and once synced them before.
Good luck
Hi, yes i did a wipe before flashing as told to in the guide. My phone is a Hero G2 Touch uk GSM on T-mobile, i didnt have anything to do with radio, could that be the problem?
thanks guys
Hi, is there any way i can set the phone back to original, as it was before i put on the new ROM? or will i need to do something else? this is my first android and my first attempt at loading a custom ROM and this happened, so i'm really not sure how to go about things, i know you guys are experts in this game but i'm just starting out, if anyone could give me some detailed help, i would be very grateful. We all gotta start somewhere!
Thanks guys.

Well, Paul @ MoDaCo strongly suggests updating to the latest radio for MoDaCo 3.1 (see his post here), so it is certainly worth a go if you still have the stock radio that shipped with your G2 Touch.

After thousands words, hundreds attempts I'm giving up and bringing up this discussion on this forum..I really hope your experience and deep knowledge of subject finally will help me..I live overseas and use to order HTC HD2 T-mobile for my friends and some times just for sale..It was my 7-th T-mobile HTC HD2 when I got problem with flashing custom ROM...I installed HSPL 2.08 and started to flash my usual custom ROM via USB for T-mobile 1024,I took out sim card and memory stick before flashing..When I finished I did a soft reset and got frozen STICK TOGETHER screen...Phone just stuck...Forgot to say that before flashing I format device with Task 29..So I format it again and flash one more time,process itself was successful , but again I got STICK TOGETHER and that's it...I decided to flash another radio, CORRECT one (50) special fot T-mobile 1024, after several updates error phone just died..I got a brick, I couldn't even go to bootloader mode..I reanimate device with JTAG, and tried almost all official ROMs, I flashed them via usb, using memory card..Sometimes during flashing it stopes and I have to reboot, sometimes i got a sign on screen that update is completed, but when I turn device on nothing happened..I tried MTTY method, didn't help...I don't really know what to do now..May be I missed something important but as I said I'm not a noob already, and have red tonnes of information regarding flashing ROMS... Any ideas would be highly appreciated, i still hope that is just software problem not hardware, otherwise I can just throw it away...thanks for reading this story

sorry for "stupid" answer,but...have you flash radio FIRST and rom than??I know,you're not a noob,but sometimes things more 'simple and obvious **** you
I had similar issues, it turned out to be a haware problem. HTC replaced the main board in the phone.
sorry to hear that
Just a 杯具
Yeah, you either need a new motherboard or use JTAG to reflash the bootloader..

I flash ROM first and after i got problems with booting tried to resolve with flashing radio...anyway I guess it is hardware problems...It's vibrating time to time i go to boot loader mode,however it is ok when I reinstall HSPL, I still can see WE hacked it ...tofay I flashed an Ebergy ROM and it said that update was successful, but again when I turn device on I stuck on STICK TOGETHER ..Damn it,I'll try to flash radio, because I haven't had a success with it..By the way what abo0ut goldcard method, I don't really know what is it and how it can help..thanks
Hi guys,
I successfully flashed Android to my HD2 a few months back. I used what I believe is Cotulla's rom(?). However the other day my phone sorta died and whenever I plugged it into the charger it would vibrate go through the boot screen and reset at the "1234 go go go" stage. I read some reading on the forum and flashed it back to "RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship" from the HTC website, using the SD card. Windows mobile restored the phone and I started using it again.
I tried to put android back on it and I think I unsuccessfully tried to update the radio after which the phone sorta died again. So I thought ok, no problem, lets get back to windows again. So I installed the HTC rom again through the SD card, which the screen told me was successful. But now I can't get the phone to boot or go into bootloader or anything. When I plug the charger in, I get a vibrate and HTC bootscreen, with the red writing at the bottom left and then dead to only do this again and again. If i pull out the charger, the phone just dies. Battery charge was about 50% when it died.
Any ideas or help on how to resurrect my beloved HD2 would be greatly appreciated!
*quick update*
I stuck the phone in the fridge for a while and managed to get it into the bootloader just once and flashed the official winmo rom again, which was successful but still dead phone!
What made you decide to stick the phone in the fridge??
What is your SPL version??

Probably the dozens of threads that talk about successfully flashing only when the phone has been cooled.
@op it doesn't look good. Usually the fridge trick working implies hardware overheating issues.
Just confirm please, its not a tmous right?
Samsamuel is right, i just read about it and thought hey, why not! plus it got a priceless look from the mrs! lol
It's definitely not TMOUS, its UK Virgin and the SPL was 3.03.0000 if I recall correctly.
When I cool it, I can get it into bootloader, but only once.
well, i still suspect its hardware and unfixable, but there have been cases where for whatever reason a rom suddenly seems to fix it. Try all the versions of the correct stock Rom.
Try the 1.43 the 1,66 and again the 3.14, wwe ones, chilling the phone well before each flash, a good 20 mins.
