This seems to be happening to a few people here and there. You're phone is fine. Just flash to another ROM. The best way to do it because you are stuck in the cycle you are in is to flash from the SD card. Copy and paste this to go to the instructions on how to do it:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=61333
I highly recommend NFSFAN's ROM.
The ROM you were trying to flash was a GSM ROM. The Forum you are posting in now is the CDMA Forum. If the your phone is indeed CDMA (You are on Bell, Telus, Sprint, Verizon) then you need the CDMA version of the EnergyROM.
Now, if your phone is GSM, then you need to go post over there.
88fingers is correct
This is caused when you put a GSM ROM on a CDMA Phone. I have accidentally done this a couple of times with ROMS that were inproperly documented. Just find a CDMA ROM and reflash your phone, and all of your problems will disappear. The proper way is to actually flash your phone to the Stock ROM. You will probably need to flash from the SD Card as you may not be able to actively sync the phone to the computer to do a flash.
I've done the same thing prob 20 times or so...till I found out that my touch pro is a cdma (if you have an SD card its a cdma)and not a gsm...and is also called a Herman not a raphel to the best of my knowledge so far. As far as re flashing goes I've always done it from the boot screen(hold the power button,volume down,and the soft reset button until the boot screen appears). Once I bring up the boot screen i hook plug into USB and flash. Thats just how I've done it not saying its the best why by any means.

Let's get this straight boys. ALL TOUCH PROS HAVE A microSD CARD SLOT.
If your phone has a SIM card then you have a GSM phone. This is known as the Raphael.
If you have no SIM card, then you have a CDMA phone which is known as the Herman.
ok guy, that is exactly what i did wrong, i reflashed my phone to a cdma rom, thank you tremendously for your assistance!!!
but when i flashed to a different rom, im having some problems with it freezing up and such, would this be due to the rom, or me going from my mess up to a different rom?
Should i go back to a stock rom like i think someone stated prior?
is that the same as the unlock utility then?
thanks
The unlock utility is the CID (carrier ID) unlocker (also known as SPL HardSPL, Security Unlocker blah blah blah). It allows you to run unsigned ROMs on your phone. SIM unlocking is something else entirely - it's how you unlock a GSM phone to use on other GSM networks - so it doesn't apply here.
Only a stock ROM will run on a locked phone, hence why you have to unlock it to get all these awesome custom ROMs on there.
I'm not sure why jmy72 said to go to a stock ROM, but I've never done what you have done myself. Maybe it'll reset some things that you might have jarred during your failed GSM ROM load.
Also, you could be doing something else with the ROM you loaded. Or it could be a crappy ROM. Or a whole buncha other things. For the help with that to get any deeper, you need to expound on your "freezing and such" problems.

you are incorrect about the cdma touch pro being called a Herman .i have a Sprint touch pro and under device info it clearly shows model no. RAPH800 which IS a RAPHEL not a HERMAN

Yes it does say Raph, but whenever you are looking for roms make sure that you flash Herman. It can be a little confusing.
Dude just flash from the SD Card...your stuck in a cycle that never ends, put the rom on your sd card and it will work fine. Just ensure you have CDMA rom for a CDMA phone....for NRG roms they are called Hermans for CDMA.
I have a Sprint TP this is the ROM I used just search PPCGeeks for it: EnergyROM_21864_HERMAN_22.Oct.2009_Standard.rar

, I've been tryin to update my Mogul's ROM to the newest DCD ROM(3.2.6 i think) and I ran into some issues that I can't seem to find on the wiki. The first thing I did was upgrade the SPL using nueSPL-2.47 by putting onto a FAT32 Sd card(1gb). That worked out fine it looks like. When I go into the bootloader it says what it should.
So then I moved on to upgrading the radio ROM. For this I used Titan Radio ROM 3.42.50. Inside the RAR file it came in was TITAIMG.nbh. The wiki said thats what I need so I loaded that onto my Sd card and entered bootloader. It found it and asked me to press the power button and then did the update and said it was a sucess. From there... nothing happens. it stays at the gray screen. I figured I need to reset it myself so I pressed reset and now it hangs at the big yellow screen that says SPRINT and doesnt load into the OS.
The wiki says this is because I didn't load the right rom for my phone, but I'm almost positive this is the right radio for the mogul, no? I don't know what went wrong, so I'm at a complete loss.
Anyone have any ideas on how I'm messing this up?
you need to read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392133
your radio has to be matched with a compatible rom, since you're on radio 3.42.50, you need a gps/reva rom, any of the ones listed at the bottom.
you can flash a rom via microsd as well, but it wont load the stock os, which is what im assuming u are still on, with a newer radio.
good luck

You've mentioned installing an appropriate bootloader and radio for DCD's 3.2.6, but you have failed to state what OS ROM is loaded or if you did attempt to flash to 3.2.6.
Hmm.. Yeah I am still on the stock Os Rom. I didn't realize the newer radio would make it incompatible. I suppose the dumb mistakes are the easiest to make.
So now, I need to update the OS Rom and I should be fine. Only problem is... I can't figure out now how to update to dcd 3.2.6. I need to flash via the SD card but I can't find the .nbh file in the RUU directory. What else am I missing?
*edit* Figured all this out, see post below.
Okay... I spoke too soon, cause I'm not out of the woods yet. i upgraded the Rom and have it working on the phone. Cept', I guess my account is no longer tied to the phone anymore, cause I can't make calls or do anything related. Is the simple way to fix this just calling sprint up and just saying I want to switch my account over to this 'new' phone? I've done that plenty to switch back and forth between the two phones I own, but I'm wondering if there's something else wrong.
I did install the sprint carrier .cab, so I know that's not an issue.

don't tell them you want to switch or anything... Just tell them you hard reset your phone and now your having this problem.
depending on the issue.. I know with verizon I either cant make calls (needs an Akey reset) or I cant get data (needs a DMU reset). I just call them and tell them I performed a hard reset because I had an issue and now I need (one of those things) reset. I'm sure it's the same for you.. this will happen when going from non GPS to GPS radio.
i usually flash the rom first then the radio both from sd. plus i dont think the card can be a sdhc
Hi,
I just flashed my phone with the Energy ROM and now the phone just shows the splash screen and keep restarting. It comes up to the splash screen and restarts.
Could someone help me out how to fix this?
I am using Sprint Touch Pro
Thanks.
I had this same problem with my Sprint Touch Pro...
After reading up a little on roms, I think the reason is that Energy ROM is for the GSM version of the Touch Pro, not the CDMA version.
If I'm wrong, please correct me... I'm kinda new at all this custom rom stuff.
You can start you phone in the bootloader and flash a different, CDMA friendly, rom pretty much the same way you flashed with Energy Rom.
To boot into the bootloader:
First pull the battery and reinstall...Then hold the VOL DOWN button and push the power button...You should then have a tri-colored screen...You can then load your new rom with the update utility.
Hope this helps
^^ Thanks a lo for the help, that worked. Thank you.
Useful Info Thanks
Good to see you didn't brick your phone. Going forward, please do not flash any ROMs that you find outside of the Raphael CDMA section. You must be especially careful with GSM/CDMA ROMs because a GSM radio will brick your device if you flash it to a CDMA phone.

Just an fyi to noobs of all flavors, don't start flashing images onto your phone until after you've done the requisite reading. Read, then flash. Don't flash, then read. You'll get burnt sooner or later.
Hey Guys, I keep trying to flash my Touch pro, and No matter what rom I use (minus the stock rom) it just sits at the "htc Rapael" screen, then restarts. I've unlocked with the SPL-0.37.CMONEX unlocker. tried the other one from the elite team, and I always get a corrupt message after it flashes.
The only rom I can flash onto this thing is the stock rom someone "Dumped" (DL from ppcgeeks).
I tried searching a bunch of times, but it's also a bit hard when you're at work and you're sitting next to a dead phone trying not to bug hehe...
Thanks guys.
Do you have a CDMA Touch Pro by any chance? IE does it have a SIM card or not? If not, either go over to the Raphael CDMA ROM section or go back to PPCGeeks before you brick your phone with the GSM ROMs
Have you changed your hard SPL package?
Quit trying to kill your phone. You clearly need cdma roms with that spl. Reading won't kill you. Not reading may kill your phone.
I tried both the Elite's 1.9 SPL and the 0.37-CMONEX SPL. Yes I have a CDMA Phone. I know I can brick it with the GSM spl, but nothing I've tried is working, and I've search so far, with no luck. I'm not too worried about bricking it. I have the insurance so it's not too much to get a new one. I'm assuming the 1.9 is GSM because although they DON'T specify, they mention things like 3G and ATT.
which is why I'm assuming it fails. there's no specifics to the ROM developement thread (as to which GSM or CDMA phone you have) so I figured if it's a ROM question it should go here? If it belongs in the CDMA section can I move it there?
Like I said, even with the .37-CMONEX SPL I can only flash the Stock rom. Any Idea's?
Go post in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=465
This is a GSM forum-you're in the wrong one. You don't even own a Raphael, you own a Herman. Check the CDMA forum or go to ppcgeeks.
Also, insurance will not cover 'user-inflicted' damage to your device. If you try to pry it open, they won't cover it. If you try to 'modify' the software features of the device (IE flashing a ROM), they won't cover it.
I'm sorry I didn't know this was a GSM only forum, I thought it was for all Rom Developement ( now I know that it's technically not raphael but herman).
and Insurance covers phones that have been run over, lost in the ocean, stole. it's not that hard to make a phone dissapear, or get run over.

That would be known as "insurance fraud" and is a felony.

Step 3
4. Once the phone reboots, go through Windows Mobile setup and let it finish.
My phone has been sitting at "PLease wait, phone starting up" for like 8 minutes.
This doesn't seem normal. . .should i be concerned?
Is your TouchPro CDMA or GSM? Sounds like you got the ROM to boot. Might just be taking a while. If it takes longer than 15 minutes, then reset the bugger. If something is indeed hosed with the ROM and it won't boot, just hold Volume Down and Power while hitting the reset button on the bottom, and you'll be back at the bootloader.

It's verizon, so i assume it would be CDMA.
Alright, ill wait it out and give the reset a try if nothing happens. thanks
Curiously, if i end up being back at the bootloader, where should i procede?
actually i did the same installed a new rom and now it is stuck in start up , where it shows (touch Pro) stays lite for about a min or so then the whole phone reset. it seem to take the whole rom , because it said congrads installation is complete. now i cant do anything , like even install a different rom. i am wondering if i need to install a rom now via mini sd , or is there a master reset? and how am i going to install rom via mini sd

Like Cyfun said, hold Vol-Down/Power and Soft reset into bootloader. Plug the phone into USB and at the bottom serial should change to USB. Then flash away.
Otherwise, take a SD-micro and put your .nbh in the root folder, and rename it to RAPHIMG.nbh and reset into bootloader
holy crap that was fast, thanks , i am going to try it now
actually that worked, awesome!!!! i use to have a rom that was mighty rom (reborn) does anyone have the link for it , it seem to work the best on my phone!!
Sorry, never been a big fan of Mighty ROM. If you want something really Fast and Stable, I suggest Calkulins ROMs. Here is a link to the most recent release.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/tzmgjytkzm3/Calkulin's Touch Pro 23506 ROM v4.2.7z
I personally use NRG roms (due to them being updated so frequently). These however tend to be slightly buggy, and need many mods to suite individual needs.
Well once in bootloader mode i was able to get NFSFAN's rom installed with absolutely no issues.
So what did I do? Redownload a different version of energy rom and try it again. No luck there, the same thing happened. I think maybe energy rom just hates my phone. So I reflashed with NFSFAN's rom and i might just leave it with this. I dunno how much of a difference a noob flasher like myself will see between the two.

this post saved my butt guys. was having the exact same problem but didn't know how to reset to bootloader, thought my phone was bricked...
Ive never been able to get Energy to boot up on my Sprint TP. Tried flash dancing, etc, gets stuck on touch pro screen. Ended up using another ROM. Anecdotal of course
Me too...
That same thing happened to me, I've tried a few other energy ROMs but they've all been too buggy for me. I think he ported his GSM ROM over to CDMA because when I tried sending a text it asked for a SIM card.
I like psyki and I'm running Twisted NewSense right now...there are more CDMA ROM's over at ppcgeeks dot com

why? the verizon touch pro is seriously gimped..MOST roms will barely run on them. the guys cook the roms according to how they like them, and likely theyre not on verizon if its not working. just flash a bunch of different roms till you find one that works, and i also have read that most verion touch pros seem to run better with pagepool at 6 so i suggest you try that..good luck with it, but remember that the guys that cook these dont owe any explanation if the dont want to. were getting state of the art roms (built for new phones) on our out-of-date touch pros for free.
I had Magloader and WP7 in it. As time went by I upgraded to HD7 and never looked back. It's been a while since I have touched XDA and WM6.5.
My assumption is that even with Magloader, you only have to flash your stock ROM and it'll revert back to WM.
Mine won't go on and I suspect that I flashed a Non-Tmobile compatible ROM. Can someone confirm that this is the case? Here's the ROM string: RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.0 7U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship.exe
I understand completely that if I messed it up then it's messed up. I just wanna make sure there might be other solutions or something I am missing out.
-Thanks in advance!
----------------------------------
Is this a final answer? I need to know if it's bricked and nothing else can be done.
Anyone thinks a shop may be able to recover it back? It won't go on at all..

Sometimes, it´s easier than you think.
You´ve got 2 options to get rid of HSPL. One of those options would be simply described in the original thread of HSPL.exe software. If you would have checked this program a little bit, you would have noticed the very fact that you can select what SPL or HSPL you want to install.
Second, you can flash your stock ROM via SD card method, this will replace HSLP and everything else - this does not work using RUU.exe via USB.

By the looks of the radio installed (2.04.50_22_2), I would say that you did brick your T-mobile phone. Take a look at the following thread for a possible solution to unbrick your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668347
Hi thanks for the response Lavell. Would MTTY be able to do anything?
The phone doesn't turn on at all, or it seems.
I've never bricked one before so Idk if this is the way it happens.
its gone. dead. it will need JTAGging or a new mainboard.
that thread wont help, the phone wont power on, and that thread requires you can get into bootloader.
that's a really early rom you used, the tmous didnt even exist when that rom shipped.
If you want to get rid of it let me know please!!!
Hey guys, don't mean to hijack the thread but I got the same problem here.
Had WP7 but could not use 2g so I went back to MAGLDR113 and installed the file below:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
It went all the way to 100% but now the phone is dead. Computer makes a sound when I plug in usb but I have tried changing batteries and all but it doesn't work.
Does anyone know in Dallas or areas around how to do that JTAG thing?
There is no proper documentation on how to go back to stock 6.5 Windows or at least I could not find one

At its most basic, its the same for ALL hd2's, ,
1 get the correct stock rom for your region&vendor
2 flash it
thats it.
Sadly lots of times this is shortened to
1 get stock rom
2 flash it
and people just assume they can use any stock rom, and since they usually already have HSPL installed, it allows the flash to start, and tmous phones die.
Yeh think the HSPL installer should of had a TMOUS version either blocking known bricking radio & ROMs or just an on screen message warrning & advising on checking before comencing with flash.
At end of the day it is the users fault for not researching or using a TMOUS rom to be 100% safer !
