Recovering bad flash - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

Hopefully someone can help me here
I have an HTC Mogul that I am trying to flash over to a custom ROM. Unfortunately I got a little too gung ho and didnt flash the radio over, so now the phone freezes at the HTC splash screen on start up. I have tried flashing it back to a carrier rom or even another custom rom but it gets to the loading bar and then fails out. Have tried flashing from the SD card but every image i put on there says that there is no valid image on the card.
I have looked high and low for an answer to my problem but have had little to no luck anywhere.

Unlocked bootloader -> Custom ROM -> GPS Radio -> Boot
So as long as your bootloader is unlocked (olipro 2.40, no2chem 2.47) then go ahead and flash the Custom GPS ROM you want to use on there. Then flash a GPS Radio I use 3.42.40 and yes I have tested all the others. Then to be totally sure might as well hard reset and pull the battery for a few.
Edit: Tip I figure everyone needs to read. If flashing using RUU method (exe, or utility through usb cable) make sure you dont have a Memory card in the phone. That ensures no problems will arise like bad flashes.
If using microSD card then make sure its not plugged in while flashing. Card must be 2gb and under and be formatted fat 32, image must be named TITAIMG.nbh and be the only thing on the card, no files or folders but the .nbh
Also check in your Computers files and folders settings and make sure you have it selected to Show File Extensions. That way you know the files are getting named and assigned correctly.

The problem I am having right now is the bootloader seems borked. It will not load any files. any that i put on the card it flashes up quick and says no image file found and then back to the bootloader screen and if i try usb it goes to the point where the progress bar comes up and then errors out. Is there a way to flash the bootloader without loading into WM?

What bootloader is on there now? You should of already mentioned this in your first post, let alone your second..
Also what size memory card are you using, I hinted at that already too.

Yeah that would help
Here is what is at the top of the Bootloader:
TITA100
SPL-1.07.0000
CPLD-9
I am using a 2 gig card, tried with a 1 gig it would get the to loading screen and freeze

Yea you messed up, you need to flash an unlocked bootloader from a functioning WM. There are ways around it and to get out of your jam.
Tell me what the phone does after unplugging it, removing the memory card, taking the battery out and letting it sit for a couple minutes. Put only the battery in and turn it on.
I need to know if it tries to boot the OS and gets stuck or if it goes to bootloader automatically.

it tries to boot to WM, goes to the HTC logo and then freezes, i still have to hold down the camera button to boot into the bootloader

Thats not how you get into bootloader on a Titan.
Manual Bootloader mode on a Titan = Power Button + Camera Button + Reset Button (hole next to memory card slot) for a couple seconds then release.
Ok now next information that you forgot to post. What HTC Mogul is it P4000, VX6800, PPC6800, or other variant. What carrier branding is it, like what stock ROM was originally on there. Sprint, Verizon, Qwest. Exe.
I need to know this as well so we are not just trying things to you get it. I want to write you a walkthrough that hits the nail on the head.

PPC6800
Old Carrier was USCC
and it may just be this version but to get into bootloader I have just been holding down camera then at the same time holding down power holding it for a few seconds then releasing the power and it goes into BL

1: Download the following files from my HTC to Windows Unlock Tools directory. Download the Titan_Relocker.exe, a GPS radio of your choosing, and the titan_spl_olipro240.exe.
2. Now make sure you have Active Sync 4.5 installed first then the HTC windows drivers installed second (from my HTC unlock directory on my share site). Now install both of those and restart the computer, start from a fresh PC. Now disable the Active Sync usb connections just right click the Active sync icon on your PC's taskbar. Pick connection settings and then look for the Box with Allow USB connections. Clear the box (disable) the usb connections.
3. Take out the storage card and now manually put the phone into bootloader "power camera reset" and then plug the phone into the PC using a MAIN port built into the Motherboard (no hub, no front usb panel). Now use Winrar, or 7zip to extract the contents of the Titanrelocker.exe into a folder. You will then see the ROMupdateutility.exe and ExitBL.exe with a bunch of other files. Ok now Run the ROM update utitlity.exe from the extracted folder and let it flash The Stock SPL. When it is done follow the prompts on screen. Now if it reboots back to olipro bootloader then run the Exitbl.exe and soon as it reboots wait till after the first splash screen and Unplug the phone.
4. Now manually put the phone into bootloader "power camera reset" (so it restarts and goes back to bootloader). Now we are going to flash the Olipro 2.40. Use Winrar, or 7zip to extract the contents of Olipro 2.40.exe into a folder. You will then see the ROMupdateutility.exe and ExitBL.exe with a bunch of other files. Ok now Run the ROM update utitlity.exe from the extracted folder and let it flash Olipro 2.40 When it is done follow the prompts on screen. Now if it reboots back to olipro bootloader then run the Exitbl.exe and soon as it reboots wait till after the first splash screen and Unplug the phone.
5. Now manually put the phone into bootloader "power camera reset" (so it restarts and goes back to bootloader). Now you can flash a Custom ROM using RUU method or go ahead and use the microSD method.
a. You can use an RUU utility to flash the custom ROM while its still plugged in and in bootloader.
b. You can flash the custom ROM with a Micro SD card, just unplug the phone and put the card in and manually put the phone in bootloader again using power + camera + reset all at the same time for a second or two.
6: When the ROM is done installing you MUST flash a GPS radio version 3.35 and up if you are using a GPS ROM. If you use RUU method you have to perform a hard reset after flashing the radio. If you use the Micro SD method you do not have to Hard Reset.
Still it is a good idea to hard reset and then pull battery for a minute to make sure the page pool is set.

on #3 flashing it back to the stock SPL i get the same error as I have been getting, it goes to the progress bar on both the computer and phone, sits at 0% for about 30 seconds then the computer gives error 262

ok finally got it to respond to the SD card, but it has been sitting on a grey screen saying loading for a good 6 hours now, i have a feeling that this is going to take some low-level editing with mtty
