Flashing multiple times are harmful for any ROM.
Anyways, just download the original winmo from HTC site for your mobile.
Go to the tri color screen (switch off your mobile then pressing power button and repeatedly pressing volume up/down buttons will make your mobile enter tri color screen), and connect your mobile to PC . USB will be shown in your mobile once connected.(I hope you have necessary drivers installed...if not install windows mobile device centre.)
And flash the ROM. N be patient....it may take some time..10..15mins. Just wait.
Once you have installed stock ROM , you can switch to another. But read flashing instructions properly then install custom ROM.

He flashed a non tmous rom to a tmous phone, , , , dead phone.
Although I couldn't help noticing that that rom claims to have a 2.10.50 radio which in theory shouldn't brick a tmous, however it will be about the only non tmous stock rom that WOULDN'T brick a tmous.
@OP, care to explain in more detail what
phone have stuck, now i can't enter to bootloader.

Man, what are you trying to do?!!
Are you flashing the stock WinMo ROM? Without entering the tricolor screen!! Seriously!!
Just do the following steps:
1) Download original factory (stock) ROM from HTC website for your mobile.
2) Install WMDC(windows mobile device centre) in your PC.
3) In Mobile, enter tricolor screen,
Method:
Start the phone by pressing the vol down and power buttons together.
4) and when the tricolor bootloader appears connect your mobile to PC and flash the winmo ROM.

but reflashing phone he stuck... and now I can't it turn on

ok, now i'm a little confused exactly what position your phone is in.
1 I THINK what you mean is that the flash failed, and the phone now does nothing, nothing at all, screen stays black, no lights, nothing, is that right? (Because that's what i would expect from flashing a non tmous rom onto a tmous phone)
2 however, you could also mean that it starts, but wont do anything, and you cant enter bootloader, , because this is also a fairly common fault (ignore sonalikagaur shouting ''just put it in bootloader'', he obviously doesn't know that there are loads of faults that include not being able to get into bootloader)
Problem is, in both of those situations, there is very little you can do, so ill point a few things to read up on for the different faults.
For case 1, there isn't anything you can do except JTAG it.
For 2, from the various pieces, no bootloader, flash failing at 50% (are you sure it didn't stop at 8% - 10%?), I think it points to a hardware fault, in which case you can possibly try the freezer trick, and there are some threads that talk about not being able to get into bootloader using voldown and power, perhaps they would be worth reading.
however i suspect its deeper than that. If all else fails, there's a thread that talks about heating the mainboard to help the solder joints from the processor to the mainboard reattach, but that's pretty full on stuff, and only to be tried if you don't mind a truly dead phone.
Again, a JTAG may fix it, but then it may not too, and unless you find someone local with teh equipment, its as expensive as a new hd2.
You can sell them for parts for a reasonable amount. Especially the screens.
Good luck.

So samsamual, if its as dead as a doornail, a person shd head straight for a jtag? My boet had 1 which inspired me, and 2years later i managed to get 1, only to enjoy for about a week before i asked my brother to droid mine like he had done his back then. I dnt knw what he was thinking but, number 1 he didnt use winmo device centre, i didnt actually pay attention to what n how he tried flashing, but within the hour i then had myself a rather lovely ornamental piece, yeah, a totally dead bricked HD2, even just laying there deadly n all, i have to say 'what a beautiful phone!' Really, i was heartbroken nonetheless... anyway without a decent telephonic device, my boet had a s2 galaxy and bb 9500 storm which i claimed before he left. A few days later i browsed web for swaps, and amazingly i found a fellow looking for two bbs for an brand new s3, his reasoning that the i9300 is a data pig, it is depending how you set it up. Anyway, two days ago i got me another hd2, bt it also has a frickin problem, it wnt pick up a signal, no service, although yesterday i used whole day on cell c network here in cpt sa, when i changed for a fresh battery (still have my dead spare brick, hence extra battery), then it wdnt pick up a sgnal again, i changed once using my daughters sim, which is the same network, just a newer sim card. It is the same size as the micro sim as far as copper plates on a sim are concerned that i can tell when comparing to my micro sim in my galaxy, my hd2 sim cards' copper plating wd hide my daughters same sized sim card completely. So my q is if her card worked with less plated sim, shd i maybe upgrade my sim card, but... i had a virgin sim in it aswell, worked fine, bt then i wanted my old sim id used the whole day, back in phone, and since yesterday evening up till writing this now this am, i havent bn able to get a signal except when i checked my daugters sim, it worked, took it out, pt mine back, wdnt pick up service, put my kids 1 in again and then it also wdnt pick up again, till nw... nothing? Nw im only sumising but my next q is cd there maybe be damage to the pins that make contact from the phone to the sim? Or cd the phone possibly be blocked And is there gna be a way to check the sim pins without having to disassemble the whole phone. Its nt a major issue though, i cn still connect to the internet via wireless net and do my whatevers there with regard to that, for me its a great phone for anyone into the pc trade, eg, remote desktop pc control, etc etc. So ok, nw... is there a place i cn go to discover jtagn my dead hd2, id like more info, so id probly find in the hd2 forum on xda. I also nd to ask what rom wd i flash if im in south africa, because i knw tmous for us only. And im using cell c in sa, but it gives a long list of operators i cn chose frm if i want, theres even 4 for my country that i cn chose from. Bt cd be many reasons aswel like you sd, i wdnt mind getn other hd2 up n running, and ptn android on both, wel hope I get the 1 andy gn. Iv sum reading to do for this forum. The previous owner of my second hd2 had android on, so then does that mean the phone is rooted already? If it had android on it shd be hey. Leme go read sum, chat later maybe.
