My phone came across some issues. Don't ask how. I have a few issues and heard this is place to go. Here goes.
I tried to turn my phone on.
It vibrated, the green light turns on, but no display.
So I turned it on to the Bootloader screen (it's the only display I have). It reads:
"TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40.Olipro
CRLD-9"
I connect to the computer, and I hear the chime to confirm its connection.
However, I open Mobile Device Center and it doesn't show that a phone is connected. I go to to Device Manager, and I see that there is a "Microsoft USB Device" connected, which is my phone.
So in all, when I try to flash a new ROM, it tells me there's a connection error. However, it knows my phone is there because the phone's screen changes. HOWEVER, when the flash is operating, it tells me what ROM its flashing to. It does not tell me the image I have though, which leads me to suspect I don't have a ROM at all on my phone.
I'm dead confused as to what to do. Everyone has an actual OS to use and to connect to Mobile Center (activesync). So...help me out if you can?
I don't want my little baby to die.
...come on...breath Mogul...it'll be ok.
You have unlocked your phone and have the 2.40 bootloader installed which is suitable for the 3.35.xx and later based ROM builds. You must also match your chosen ROM with a suitable radio.
Activesync will only make a connection when you are booted into Windows Mobile. For flashing, that connection is only necessary to unlock/lock your phone and change the bootloader.
You are fine, but are not telling us what you are trying to flash to or what information you are following to flash. If you read the sticked threads on the front of the forum and check out and follow the instructions posted in the Titan Wiki for upgrading to the latest GPS/EDVO Rev A ROMs, you should find all the links and information you need to successfully upgrade your phone.
Thank you very much.
I thought I was stuck.
I think I'm going to upgrade to the latest ROM and try to get it running. This leads me to a new question:
Is there any special step I need to take when wanting to Flash using the SD Card? The ROM, let's say 3.35 Alltel. I put it in the card and it says "Loading", then it shows the number "00068002" in red up top, and then the blue words "No Image File!" appears.

You are missing out a few steps in telling us what you have done. Tell us exactly what you are doing and with what type of card.
Alrighty.
I have a 1 Gig card, FAT32 1024.
I'm trying to get the "Alltel 3.35.671.9 ROM".
I read that I am to flash that ROM first, but like I said, the progress bar shows up on my phone when flashing with the .exe program (gray background, progress bar up top), and then it gives me an error message and I have to reset my phone and go through the tedious "recovery" process.
When I try to use the SD Card to install the Alltel image 3.35.671.9, it says Loading, and then No Image!, and it takes be back to the BL screen.
Is that enough?
Thank alot.
As you have apparently have a suitable SDcard, you don't need to bother with the Alltel ROM. You can directly flash a suitable discrete radio ROM (links in the Wiki to 3.37.20 & 3.39.10). Less hassle that way and the best method for future radio changes without affecting your data or OS ROM. With the CDMA Radio upgraded you can then repeat with the SDCard routine to flash to one of the later third party ROM or kitchen build of your choice. After that, all should be fine to boot into the new OS.
Remember that the ROM file copied to the root of the SDcard must be renamed TITAIMG.nbh.
Damn it all.
I put the card in with the Radio in it, named "TITAIMG.nbh", and it only reads "loading" then "No image file!"
I tried both Radios, and my card is fine.
Still no luck.
Geez...what a disappointment. Thanks for your help though. I feel safer knowing there's hope for the thing.
Did you format the card into FAT32 from your PC?
Oh well, I guess again resort to using the latest Alltell or Sprint ROM via the USB to upgrade your radio. Rather than using their installation routine you can again extract the ROM image but now manually initiate the ROM Update Utility as described in the Wiki.
Thanks again for the tips and info.
Sadly, flashing by SD always gives me a "No Image File!" message, and flashing by USB always gived me a 262 Update Error message, no matter how many times/ports/resets I do.
I guess I'm stuck then.

My Mogul was taken to a store that flashes phones to cricket. So it was ok before I took it to the store now. When I turn the phone on it boots to the smart mobility screen says "No Radio" then turns right off. I formatted my microSD card put the TITAIMG>nbh file on the card put my phone in the bootloader mode. Now my phone turns on and stay in the smart mobility screen w/ the No Radio still on it, and thats it. Is this phone dead? If not HELP!

If you paid someone to flash it, take it back! Did they give you back a non working phone? You'd think they would have tested it???
It sounds like you have a rom / Radio incompatibility problem. Or no radio at all. You say that you put the radio nbh on the card and put it into bootloader mode, but did you actually flash the radio? Did it come up with the grey screen and blue progress bar showing it was actually flashing the Radio rom?
Mogul Dead
No my phone did not do any of that stuff. And no I do not think that I flashed the radio I don't know how. I put the nbh file on the card insert it put it in the tri color screen and nothing happens. Man I am screwed. The kid at the store is saying that I did something & I did not. I have been reading alot cause I do not know anything about this flashing stuff and it does seem like there might be a radio/rom compatability thing going on cause the phone says no radio. I followed some forum steps to no avail.
dude if you get the tri color boot loader screen you did not kill your phone, all you need to do is flash your radio, witch is completely seprate from flashing your OS. just read the wiki and relax
The phone is telling you what is wrong "No Radio" you should be able to flash a radio via your sd card then flash a rom and all should be well. You just need to make sure the radio is compatable to the ROM. What is your ROM Version that shows on your boot screen. Also what bootloader is installed (tricolor screen)
I realize English isn't your primary language, but based on how you phrased your last comment, it sounds like you are inserting the SD card after the tri color screen.
The card needs to be in the phone before you press the 3 buttons for the boot loader screen, then it should see it.

Mogul Dead
Ok great sounds like from the replies that my mogul is not dead. Ok thanks guys. Also when I put the phone in the bootloader modethe tro color screen the card is already inserted, and the bootloader is SPL-2.40.Olipro. I do not know what ROM was put on the phone when it came from the store. So yeah I just might have to keep tyring to combine the right radio for the right rom thats on the phone.
find radio 3.42.50 and flash it via your sd card
then find the rom you want .....example.... DCD 3.2.6 and flash it via your sd card
then install dcd's carrier cab for you carrier and you should be up and running
Mogul Dead
How do I flash DCD's ROM to the sd card I never did this.
Do you have a ROM ready to flash? If so just goto the wiki link for the Titan's and do some reading. Everything you'll ever need to know about flashing is in there...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Titan
Focus on the radio first, once you get it flashed, then you can worry about flashing the rom.
For the rom (not radio) it's much easier, from the tri-color screen, plug in your USB cable and run the .exe file and it will flash.
However, get the radio updated first.
Try the 3.42.50 radio, I personally use 3.42.40 but they are very close and both support the same roms.
BTC
Freaking out as well
I'm stuck at the tri-color screen after updating the bootloader to 2.40.Olipro , I thought I could update the bootloader and still go into my Windows 6.1 install (and update the rest later).
I thought I totally screwed up my phone until I read this thread so hopefully there is still hope for this.
I do not have an SD card so I'm trying to do it the USB method by downloading the "ROM Update Utility" and placing the TITAIMG.NBH file into the RUU directory. It seems to work but stops at about 8% and the phone goes black then the PDA Phone ROM Update Utility pops up a:
ERROR [328]: INVALID COMMAND
This update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your Update Utility.
As you can imagine I'm absolutely panicked right now and will appreciate ANY help!
well save yourself some grief and buy a 2 gig microSD card. Then all you have to do is put the radio ROM on it, go into bootloader mode and let it flash. That is the safest and easiest way to do it. Also less, read nill, chance of bricking your phone.
Ok I'm heading out the door to Best Buy right now...
So once I get the radio installed, I then install DCD using the SD card method? Then the carrier cab?
I've already updated the bootloader to 2.40 using the USB method, will mixing these two cause any issues?
Now that I'm totally stuck at the bootloader, are there any precautions I should take before continuing?!?
Thanks so much for the help, I can't wait to get this going and maybe help out people like myself in the future
I got a 2gb card, formatted it to FAT32, downloaded 3.42.50 radio, renamed it and placed it into the root directory of the card.
I then put it into the phone, then did a POWER+CAMERA+RESET. It comes back to the bootloader screen doing nothing.
I've been reading around and it looks like I'm doing everything correct???? It just sits there and at the bottom it says "Serial"
EDIT: Oh you have to HOLD that combination for a couple seconds. Got it, I'll keep going on the process....
Here's what I just recently posted in another thread for someone wanting step by step instructions on how to flash the phone. He said he followed it and it worked so hopefully it helps you out.
1. Download everything you will need.
a) nueSPL 2.47 from http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/pag...HTC-Titan.aspx
b) Radio 3.42.50 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415364
c) The ROM from http://www.scottcrosler.com/
2. Back up your SD card and then format your SD card into FAT32 with less than 4kb cluster size. Open My Computer, right click on your SD card, select format and adjust the settings accordingly.
3. Run nueSPL 2.47 on your phone with your SD card in. It will reformat your SD card again and put the bootloader on it. When you reset your phone it will install the bootloader. Just follow the instructions.
4. Copy the nbh file from the radio rom onto your SD card and rename it to TITAIMG.nbh. Put it in your phone and put the phone into bootloader mode by pressing CAMERA, POWER, and RESET (the recessed button on the bottom of the phone) at the same time. When it starts up it should come up with a grey screen telling you to press POWER to continue flashing. Do this and wait for it to complete. When it is complete delete the nbh file from your card using your computer.
5. Put the phone into bootloader mode again using the same method as before. Connect your phone via USB to your computer and run the ROM flashing exe to flash the rom. Just follow the instructions that come up. It's easy. When that is done your phone has the ROM installed. If the USB method does not work for you, look for the largest .nbh file and copy it to your SD card, rename the .nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh again, and reset into bootloader again. You should get the same screen as you did when you flashed the radio. When it's complete the ROM is installed.
6. Run the CAB file from My Documents to extract all the other cabs. After that is complete look for the cab for your carrier and install that. Soft reset.
7. Your phone should work now.
I think that's it. Anyone else feel free to correct anything I probably have wrong... I just wrote that from memory. It's normally easy to do and you just follow the on screen prompts so I might've made some mistakes. I always just flash via SD now because it's so easy and I don't require a PC for anything.

The bold text is a step I left out for the other person but he figured it out.
Edit: Oh yeah, skip the part where you install the bootloader (step 3) since you're already running an unlocked bootloader and don't have a working OS on the phone to install 2.47. Once you have a working OS you can go ahead and update from 2.40 to 2.47 if you want a slight improvement in performance. It will not require you to reflash everything else again (or at least didn't for me).
Yes! 100% working. Didn't even have to call Verizon to reactive it, everything was ready to go as soon as I got the new rom.
Thanks for the help!

Did you install the carrier cab?
Also see in EPST. If you use EVDO, may be login and pass are erased after flash. I had same problem with official Sprint ROM.
And what kind of GPS you are talking about? aGPS?
Edit: Update: OS is working fine but unable to flash radio. Getting stuck at 0% when attempting via USB. SD card method not working - no error messages at all, in bootloader mode. However, SD card is detected fine in the OS and works properly.
Hey all.
It all started off when I tried flashing an OS ROM on my i-mate JASJAM, but it wouldn't work. Kept getting the infamous Error 260. I'm on Vista 32, so I downgraded the drivers as mentioned in the wiki/forums but it still wouldn't work. So I tried flashing it in VMware with XP SP3 but still kept getting the error. Changed the cables and ports too. Tried with about 3 different ROMS (AT&T stripped, official i-mate, other ROMs on forum). Finally, I used a newer RUU as included in the latest HardSPL and it started to flash - but failed after 1% !
I tried re-flashing an OS ROM but I'm just not able to connect due to Error 260. So I resorted to the SD card method, but the process doesn't even start. It's a brand new 1Gig card, tried formating both as FAT16 and 32 and followed all instructions, but it's like the card isn't even being detected.
So, any ideas guys? I would really appreciate if you could help me, as this is my only phone. ( I was mugged a few days ago - had to surrender my old phone )
Current stats are:
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
PS: The first thing I did was flash to SPL-2.10.Olipro and after many tries, it finally worked. I was even able to boot the OS and everything worked fine.
The error 260 came up on a thread a few weeks ago here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520226 the person with the problem in the end managed to fix it and flashed a new rom, it might be a good idea to read over this thread and see if you can find any other ideas to help you.
Good luck
Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm not sure though how he managed to fix the problem - it looks like he managed to flash the HardSPL and was able to upgrade the OS ROM after it. I'm already at that stage, only thing is, I still get the Error 260 and the SD card method not working.
Um, for some reason I simply tried the AT&T RUU via USB and it started flashing! The RUU wasn't able to query my OS version, and I chose the force Safe SSPL option. It's now flashing!
Still no idea why the SD card didn't work
Edit: Flashing successful! OS is loading now! Thanks a lot Scotty93
Now to try updating the radio.. *fingers crossed*
im glad to see that youve managed to get it to work, if you can get the sd card method to work it is best as it can stop your hermes from bricking which is a problem if a radio flash goes wrong.
Good luck
Well, it happened. Bricked again. I *had* to flash the radio because I was getting a "No GSM" message on the screen. (Was getting it earlier too)
Tried updating via USB (SD card method not working again).
The progress screen showed up on the phone, but it was stuck at 0%. After 5 mins I got an Error 262 message from the RUU. It had a built-in recovery feature, but it didn't work (gets stuck again at 0% and same thing repeats).
Tried these radios so far:
1.56.70.11
1.48.00.10
1.46.00.11
So, any ideas guys?
Update: Tried flashing the i-mate SHIP rom. Process starts, but gets stuck at 13%. Error 262 in the RUU.
I've just checked this thread and my situation is quite similar to that. I however, haven't attempted to downgrade my SPL yet, to access the rtask command. Is that necessary?
I'm able to use the info 7 command in mtty (VMware), but it throws up nothing new.
At the moment I've switched back to the AT&T OS and it's booting fine, but still no gsm.
Is it worth trying any other ship/radio ROMs? Or can I do something via mtty?
What size sd card you using, It has to be 2Gb or less. Also must be formatted FAT32.
If the radio rom has been corrupted, and it looks like it might be, there is no real way to fix. Some people get lucky by reflashing their SHIPPED STOCK ROM or their SHIPPED RADIO ROM. Most other fixes I've heard of don't work, or if they do, not for long....
Good Luck...
Cheers...
It's a brand new 1GB card, formatted as FAT32, 512kb block size. The WM OS is reading it properly.
I'll try and flash a shipped radio one of these days. Thanks for your input.
Disregard...

I did a stupid thing, with the following. I copyed an LEOIMG.nbh file to my formatted sd card, so I get an SPL-1.42.0000, but I can't flash any HSPL to my device, because the HSPL setup writes out USB connection error. Neighter can I flash for example the official 1.66 rom, the installation stops after 1%, and writes INVALID VENDER ID. What can I do?
Very siple but you need lots of time for it. The rom you flashe has spl 3.03 on it and so it doesn't allow you to flash any other spl on it. What you can do is you have to search for old stock roms in the native language of your phone. As long as the phone keeps giving you error when trying to flash a stockrom with you sd card, it means you have not yet gotten the right stockrom for you phone so you have to try with different old stockroms till you get the right one.
After that. you'll be able to flash whatever you like. Hope it helps.
But remember, you need time and patience.

You can also download HSPL 4 and use it to downgrade your SPL. To do this manualy put your HD2 into bootloader by holding the volume down button and pressing the power(end) butom momentarily. Once in bootloader connect your HD2 to your computer via USB cable wait until you see USB in the white bar of thd bootloader and run the HSPL 4 on your computer. It will ask you which SPL or HSPL you wish go flash select the proper SPL version to flash to your HD2 and you should be good to go. Hint the SPL version will have zeros at the end of them and the HSPL version will not. Example SPL 2.08.0000 HSPL 2.08. Hope this helps.

Hi. I have the same pronblem. I have a UK HD2 that was originally on Tmobile. I flashed 2.08HSPL using HSPL4 & upgraded the ROM to the standard WWE_3.14. A long story short... after playing around with SD Android & a few other utilities I wanted to make a clean start, so my plan was to use HSPL4 to remove the HSPL before then re-installing it & reflashing the ROM. Unfortunately I now seem to be stuck in SPL2.08.0000. HSPL4 just gives the same error:

Did you place the leoimg.nbh on the root of your SD card? Also was tbe dile you renamed originaly named RUU_signed.nbh?

Yes on both counts... I've even tried a complete 'long' reformat of the SD card first using the Panasonic SD Formatter, before putting the leoimg.nbh at the root.
I'm guessing that my stupid mistake is downgrading to SPL2.08.0000 whilst having a generic version of the 3.14 ROM installed. I guess I should have downgraded the ROM to an original Tmobile one first...
Could i ask what operating system you guys are using cos this problem could have less to do with the phone than it has to do with the operating system on the pc. I was trying to flash some roms on some old devices using Windows 7 but this didn't seem to work but it magically worked when i used Windows xp. I hope this works.
About the wrong Vendor problem, this just means the rom flashed is not recognized by the phone as the official one, i also had that problem and after flashing a official rom in the language of my phone, the problem was solved. I used the 1.66 rom so that i could flash hspl or else it might be impossible to do so.
Or as someone suggested you might try the hspl4 (never knew that existed) but try using Windows xp and if the problem persists try reinstalling your operating system (on your pc). I know it a lot of work but its just to rule out that the problem is from the pc.
Another thing i want to make sure of is if the phone is working normally with the rom on it or is there no rom at all?

Hi. Thanks for the input. The problem is getting even more frustrating! I've tried buying a new 4GB micro SD card (both are class 4). I have tried both TMO_UK_1.72 & TMO_UK_1.43. Both ROMs were downloaded from HTC using the correct phone's serial, so they should be the correct ones.
With the original SD card I can't get passed the bootloader screen & it just stays in 'serial' mode. With the new SD card it moves on to 'loading...', but then just hangs. I haven't yet seen the word 'searching' as described in the [TUT] Flash your ROM / Radio via microSD.
To clarify, the phone boots fine with the installed 3.14 ROM, but I can't get away from SPL 2.08.0000 or flash any other ROM.

With the original SD card I can't get passed the bootloader screen & it just stays in 'serial' mode. With the new SD card it moves on to 'loading...', but then just hangs. I haven't yet seen the word 'searching' as described in the [TUT] Flash your ROM / Radio via microSD.
To clarify, the phone boots fine with the installed 3.14 ROM, but I can't get away from SPL 2.08.0000 or flash any other ROM.

Ok here is a couple of options for you. One go to www.t-mobile.com if you have a T-Mobile HD2 and type HTC HD2 upgrade in the search box on the home screen of the website and you will find the official T-Mobile 3.14 ROM. You will have to enter your IMEI number under your battery to download it. Download this ROM and then follow the steps to flash it via SD card, hint you will have to rename the original .exe file to .zip to gain access to the .nbh file. Also you can download and run HSPL 4 on your HD2 and select SPL 3.03.0000 but the official ROM will change it to SPL 3.10.0000 if you flash via SD card
Its a common problem i think if you are trying to flash a rom via sd card with a sd card higher than class two. Many here have encountered such problems.
According to your description, it will seem that it is as i suspected, the pc doesn't seem to recognize the phone and this could mean you have a defect usb cable or the useport itself is not funtioning properly. Try holding the phone in your hand with the usb in and support the usb with your hand to make sure the usb is indeed in the phone and see what happens. My usb cable is a little bit loose so when i want to flash anything, i use my hand to support it or i place my phone on a smoot surface and make sure the usb cable is in it.

Hy!
I did a stupid thing, with the following. I copyed an LEOIMG.nbh file to my formatted sd card, so I get an SPL-1.42.0000, but I can't flash any HSPL to my device, because the HSPL setup writes out USB connection error. Neighter can I flash for example the official 1.66 rom, the installation stops after 1%, and writes INVALID VENDER ID. What can I do?

Hi. I have the same pronblem. I have a UK HD2 that was originally on Tmobile. I flashed 2.08HSPL using HSPL4 & upgraded the ROM to the standard WWE_3.14. A long story short... after playing around with SD Android & a few other utilities I wanted to make a clean start, so my plan was to use HSPL4 to remove the HSPL before then re-installing it & reflashing the ROM. Unfortunately I now seem to be stuck in SPL2.08.0000. HSPL4 just gives the same error:
CRITICAL ERROR
Flow:00000001
Error code: 00000002
Description: USB Connect failed!
I have also tried flashing a stock ROM via SD (renamed leoimg.nbh), but I can't get passed the bootloader displaying 'serial'.
Any ideas?

Ok do to some recent personal experience and some other members problem of late. I suggest both of you do this go to www.windowsmobile.com/getstarted and download the most recent version of WMDC wich has updated drivers in it that seems to solve somd problems with flashing via USB especially if you are using a 64 bit system. Just so both of you know unless your HD2 shows up as "HTC USB Sync" in the device manager while connected via USB while in bootlaoder you do not have the correct drivers installed and any flash will fail.
T-Macgnolia & Abdul9: Thanks for that, however mine is a UK Tmobile HD2 & the .com site is only for US ones (it doesn't recognise UK IMEI's). If I go via the UK site it just links me to the HTC update site for the RUU_Leo_S_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship (& also the 1.72 & 1.43 versions. I have tried all of these via both SD card & via USB. I have also tried HSPL4, HSPL3 & HSPL2. All options have failed. I have tried from Win XP Pro & Win 7 Ultimate (both 32bit) with two different USB leads. I have also tried a 3rd SD card (which ends up stalling at the 'loading' screen. The phone flashed fine prior to removing 2.08HSPL with HSPL4.
I think that the problem is not the SD card or the USB lead, but is the problem that I've now got a Tmobile (UK) phone with spl 2.08 & a WWE_3.14 ROM installed - this should obviously not normally be possible. I can't flash back to HSPL & I can't downgrade to any other ROM.
Does anyone have any idea how I can 'fool' the phone into letting me change the ROM?
I've been reading about Task29, but it says don't do this unless you have HSPL (which I can't get!). I don't want to brick the phone (because it still runs!), but I want HSPL back otherwise I can't reinstall Android on SD.
Furthermore, I don't think this is a USB driver issue, as it flashed fine before & it's occurring across different PC's & operating systems.
It's an incompatibility between a branded Tmobile with SPL & a WWE HTC ROM... I just need to get out of the loop I'm stuck in!
Hey Chameleon I know you don't think it is a problem with the drivers cause it was flashing fine before. But what I do not think you have taken into account is that you came from a older ROM and you had the right drivers to work with that ROM or the update for that ROM. But you now have a 3.14 ROM and this is a newer ROM that probably requires different drivers. I mean Microsoft did not create a new WMDC with updated drivers if it was not needed for the 3.14 ROMs as they are the most recent official ROM versions. Microsoft is the one that comes out with the new ROM versions too, the carriers just add their bloatware to them. Do you see my train of thought here? Also make sure you are usinv SD card that is 500MBPS to 8GB that is formated with Fat 32.

WOW! I've got the problem sorted! This can't be a coincidence... I haven't done anything different to my PC, but I got an 'unlock' code through for my phone this morning (£5.99 on Ebay) & it worked fine. I though "why not" & tried HSPL4 again. With no other changes it worked absolutely fine this time & I now have 2.08HSPL installed.
Presumably by unlocking my my phone from Tmobile it has also removed the 'you're using the incorrect ROM' problem.
Thanks for everyones input on this. I maintain that XDA-Developers is one of the best Forums around (not just within the mobile phone arena).
Hey guys,
Im a new member here
but been following through all the great posts here at XDA for a long time now.
I have been trying to unlock my HTC Radar for almost 2 days now but im unable to do so.
1. I tried using the ROMUpdateUtility from here : HSPL for HTC WP7 Second Generation
I got the Invalid Vender ID error and thus had to resort to the Gold Card Method. Made the Gold card from a 4GB MicroSD card , Bought the Y-cable ( 2 MALE and 1 Female type ) and also a Female-Female USB Gender Changer as per this post here :
[Noob-friendly] Goldcard SPL Downgrade Method; No Android-Phone and/or custom wires!
I Fixed it Accordingly but the Screen is stuck where it says *Enter USB Host Mode* .. i tried various combination of MicroSD card Readers and MicroSD card .. i have included a image of my configuration in this post
Can someone please help me...
Thank you In Advance
Did you successfully do the steps that required the gold card?
You have to put your phone in SPL mode in order to use RUU.
Do you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed?
Tried
I tried the RUU first by entering in SPL mode . Installed the Drivers and then i got an Invalid Vender id , so while using the gold card method i tried various Memory cards ( SD card : 2gb and 4gb ) and also Flash drives but the screen is always stuck in "Enter USB Host mode.."
Yeah me too, I followed every step in the instruction and I could not make it, my phone freezes at screen "Enter USB Host Mode" too
I tried HSPL, and I got this
Sorry I'm noob

Hi, have you tried to swtich the phone and the card reader? In my opinion, the phone should be connected in the place of the card reader, and the card reader in the place of the phone. At the first time, at least for me, the process doesn't start inmediatly, I had to wait a couple of minutes the first time. I think that's not a problem with the gold card, if the gold card is not created properly the phone will be stuck at loading.
Greetings.

Does your y-cable work properly?
Did you patch the proper image to the goldcard i.e the .nbh file?
im 100% sure i patched the correct OMEGIMG.nbh file cause the gold card tool showed that the process was success. I give up Been trying for 5 days now. I think time to quit and wait for some easy process to come along !

+1 same here....waiting for a method where no use of goldcard is there
I was stuck there for a while too. I ended up just rotating my y-cable with attachments until my radar recognized the goldcard and tried to load it. It's possible that your y-cable is not wired correctly also. I tried to buy one from a local store, and they told me that it wasn't designed in a way that would allow me to use it to make the goldcard, so I bought the recommended one from amazon.
WP7 noob here long time Android flasher/rooter.
What is the point of unlocking the Radar at this point as there doesn't seem to be ROM's available, or am I missing something? Are they coming?
Thanks for any replies.
There are currently 3 custom ROMS available in the development section.

turn off your phone. hold volume up+down simultaneously & press power button, it should take you to SPL mode. then connect your phone to USB port. if you use windows 7, it would install the driver automatically. when installed, run the RUU.exe.
hope it helps
