I have tried *everything* to get this working man and I'm no firmware hacker but I can follow directions and have had plenty of experience flashing G3 devices.
Basically when I do the flash (starting from the latest T-Mobile or aku rom) I get trapped on the boot screen with the T-Mobile or aku background and the following:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
To get back I of course put the phone into "rainbow" mode by pressing camera while I boot up the device and reload either the T-Mobile rom or the akus rom. They go right in and I try again without success doing something a little different.
Things I've tried that were mentioned in other forum posts:
I've tried a number of times from more than one PC running Windows XP.
I've tried redownloading the rom and replacing the one that came with it.
I've tried waiting extra long between installed the EnableRAPI and other cab file.
tried with radio on and off (I assume this meant just disabling the phone in the connection manager?)
Things I've tried on my own account:
Doing it with and without the sim card installed
Trying multiple hard resets
Tried installing EnableRAPI but not the other one (some instructions left that peice out).
So basically i've spent a good 8 total hours on this (of course in the background of other activities) and tried load, fixed an reloading at least 15-20 times without success. The rest of the time has been spent searching the forums because I do not want to be the guy who swears at the creator or complains about it when they are doing something wrong. I see my problem (freezing at the boot screen) a number of places in the forum but never seems to be an educated person explaining what they tried.
So I've come to the conclusion that maybe it doesn't work on all phones or I'm doing something really stupid but apparently common and not easily figured out by myself (thinking too hard about it?)
im assuming you are using Shell Tool made by MuN
here is my advice:
-flash the wizard rom (i was unable to flash any other Rom until i got the wizard love in it)
-make sure you enable both cabs (rapi and the other one)
-turn on figth mode (i know you did this step and i can see that you are following all the instruction but hey we are almost out of options )
-close any antivirus or firewall (probably you did this too)
-do not have any other application running in the background
just so you know i was unabe to flash the xplore core 2.0n, i had to flash it at least 3 times going back to the wizard love (i guess this is something like hit-or -miss thing)
-try the wizard love and then flash the Rom that you want you should be able to flash it.
hope i helped in any way.
THANKS -
I've always flipped back to the TMobile a bit faster than maybe I should have. I guess the question is, if I keep trying it should work? Has anyone just determined that on certain new G4's that this option isn't valid?
I think I'm going to try the following:
Rainbow Mode USB Connection
T-Mobile original rom
Hard Reset
Wizard Love Rom
Hard Reset
Guest Sync
Copy Files
unplug USB
Enable Rapi and Other file (don't know why I can't remember the damn name)
Wait 2 minutes
Soft Reset
ShellTool Load all options except "OK"
Guest Sync
Hard Reset
Pray......
It if doesn't work I'm going to revert back to wizard love and redo the above 3 times.
At that point I'm calling it quits....

i would guest sync first and then shell tool load all options (dont know if this would make a difference but it a possiblity) then flash, then hard reset and before all this PRAY LOL....
dont quit i know you probably are frustated but there is gotta be a way to do it.
ill search around to see if i find something.
I thought the problem was for G3 devices
Though the shelltool was made for G4 devices, I use it on my G3. I have ended with the same problem. I couldn't upgrade to PDAVIET 4, Underground, Faria's The Real Thing.
But I do know that you can get PDAVIET 3, mUn aRTM, and Xplore 1.1 to work. There might be more but I don't know. I also use the same methods that all of you have.
Also, the ones that worked only worked when i used EnableRAPI.cab not the certspcs.cab file. Maybe the same will work for you.
I also requested mUn for his code and will try to edit it to be able to add other parts of the ROM (extended and splash).
Sick of ROMs
I been trying so many variants of CrossBOW WM6 for my G4 Wizard but sick of it, they never work out. Only successful was the WM5 Wizard love ROM, wut could be the issue?
Happyware, when you are running the shell tool, how long does it run? On most of the roms I've tried, the shell tool runs at least 8 minutes. I had a problem with an email application on my PC that was checking for email every 5 minutes and was causing the shell tool to end prematurely. After I temporarily killed the email app, the shell tool was able to finish and I had a good flash.
BTW, here's the scenario I always follow when flashing a new rom:
Temporarily kill my email application
Make USB connection to Activesync
Revert to Cingular stock rom or wizard love rom
Copy cert_spcs.cab and enablerapi.cab to the my documents folder on wizard
Install both cabs to main memory, wait 2 minutes, soft reset
Turn on flight mode
Start shell tool
Shell tool runs for approx. 8 minutes
Hard Reset
I don't know what it's doing after the hard reset, but it takes approx. 2-3 minutes to load the first time.
^^Exactly.....thats why I messed up my 1st 4 flashes because I wasnt patient.....after u do a hard reset for some reason that 1st time it takes forever for the rom to load up but it does. Also I agree w/ using wizard love, I couldnt flash anything until I that rom loaded up now I flash 1st time every time.
G4 No Luck either
Same as Happyware here.. No luck flashing my rig. with the Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 ROM. The shell prog. cant even tell if its CID lucked or Unlucked.

Flight mode "ON" ????? Thought the instructions said OFF
I think it might relate to specific phone models
I tried many times and got into the exact same situation as Happyware. The phone just freezes at the bootloader stage with the following info:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
I am pretty sure I followed every steps in the instruction as I spent the last 6 hrs playing with it to no avail. Is there anyone could help? Appreciate it.
I spent some time with it last night and this morning and this is what I've come up with.
I have the T-mobile MDA G4 Wizard. The Faria ROM included in the all-in-one kit simply would not flash to my device. After 2 minutes the flash would stop abruptly as if it had finished, when it simply couldn't have gone that quickly.
I tried several times, following each step exactly as I should have. It simply wouldn't work. When I hard reset the device after flashing, I was stuck on the same screen as the rest of you.
I then went back to the original T-Mobile ROM and then tried flashing with Orwell (wi6ard) and it flashed in 8 minutes and my phone APPEARS to be working normally. I haven't tried making any calls since I don't get reception in my home on any of my 4 phones (Wizard, Herald, and 2 RAZRs).
So I would recommend if you are having the same problem, you might try a different ROM.

I have to agree with you... After several tries with the same ROM (Orwell´s) I decided to use WM6 Reloaded 1.5 and it worked just fine with my G4.
Now... Im having some issues (lol) with a strange behavior thingy. My phone turns itself on and dials random numbers (specially letters U Y T D A). Made a soft reset already, no-go. Hard reset, no-go. Flashed back to 2.26 and to WM6, no go
I wonder if its a virus stored in my 2GB Ultra II miniSD card Ive read a lot about AV SW been a scam in WM OS. I gotta try an antivirus b4 getting into wrong conclusion. I dont think its a HW issue.
If anyone has any ideas on this, please let me know... Or if theres a separate thread on this...

Obviously I'm a n00b I just got my 8525 yesterday, right away I upgraded to WM6 went all day today with it working fine, I installed a PockMSN and Windows Live anyways to keep it short I FIGURED I WOULD just RE-INSTALL Windows Mobile 6 to get a fresh phone (didnt know hard reset did the same) Actually it was the 3rd time I flashed the OS and RE-UPGRADED to WM6 to get a fresh phone!!!!
~heres the trouble~
In the middle of the reinstalling WM6 I accidentally reset my computer, didnt realize it right away and, got ERROR 260 I believe, anyways I followed the directions, took out the battery and reset, plugged the USB back and RAN the Offical WM6 Rom of HTC site again and it keeps getting stuck EVERYTIME at 11%, I have tried it like 10 times and it gets stuck at 11%, and I get the same ERROR. Says Communication error 260. I have tried everything I know reset the computer, changed USB cords, and Nothing, everytime it gets stuck at 11%!!!!!!
Any Ideas about how to get my 2 day old Hermes back??
(I know i did a n00bish thing and I am sorry)
same place everytime!!
I tried to reinstall Active Sync, changed USB cables, switched USB ports, nothing!! I keep getting ERROR 262 (thought it was 260 at 1st) and wont get past 11% says no connection. I do notice everytime i try this process, Active Sync isnt connected, but the Hermes is connected to the computer! Cause if it cant read the hermes it wouldnt be able to even start the update process. But 11% everytime its stops

Perhaps you could try to flash using the sdcard method. So you would not be connected to a pc anymore. Who knows, it could solve your problem. I know one case where installing an official rom cured also a similar problem.
Quick summary of the sdcard method:
Use an empty sdcard formatted in FAT32
Copy the RUU_Signed.nbh file containing the OS to the card and rename it: hermimg.nbh
Enter bootloader mode (OK + POWER + Softreset). Normally, after the 3colors screen, you will get "Loading" followed by a description of what is on the card.
When ready, press power and... wait...
Good luck (The phone is NOT connected to the pc)
sounds good but I dont have a MicroSD card reader to do that. And I am using an Offical HTC WM6 ROM, thats all I ever used was the offical WM6 Rom from the AT&T site. Like I said, I was able to install WM6 already, but me being a complete idiot was Flashing the upgrade ROM to get the Hermes back to fresh phone factory settings. But I accidentally reset the computer in the middle of Flshing and since then I have never been able to get it to install again, everytime I turn on the phone I am stuck at the Tri-Color Screen, I am able to restart the upgrade process, but it stops at 11% says ERROR 262 and no connectivity!!
please anybody knows anything, this is the only thing I got, my mom got it for me! We cant afford to get a new one, or even fix it, it was a special present!

Ok. I am a bit annoyed if you cannot try the sdflash method (BTW you can ask somebody having a PC to prepare the card for you.)
There are different things you can flash on your hermes. Radio, OS, Splash screens, Extended Rom,.... The most tricky thing is the radio rom as a failure there has a higher probability to brick your pda.
This is why i believe it is very dangerous to flash right away without some readings and understanding about what you do. i hope you had some experience here.
Did you first install hardspl (olipro 2.10 )? This is not mandatory but is a very good protection against bricking. (here the excellent guide of mrvanx: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27 )
Did you flash also a radio rom? (Was it included in the "package" you wanted to flash?) If yes, i am a bit anxious that a stop at 11% is a problem... BUT, if you flashed a radio rom, it goes very, very, very... slowly. And gives the feeling that it freezes. For the "radio" part it is normal . I hope you did not stop the process too soon.
Once again, try the sdcard method. Or try to flash an official rom (most of the time containing a radio part...) and be patient. Can take till 25 minutes.
If this does not work, do not panic yet. Others had also problems before you: go there and start reading : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 and here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
There is a hope to solve your problem. Good luck
Try to flash a radio ROM, turn the device on and if it stays at the bootloader screen (the tri colour screen) make a note of the version displayed. Hook up the device with USB cable, dont worry about activesync.
Download and unzip a radio ROM upgrade (try this one), run the exe, select your bootloader version on the screen....follow the screens through and see if it works.....radio roms take ages to flash so DO NOT disconnect your device.....if it doesnt work you most likely have a corrupted radio bootloader.............which is likely since the radio flash takes the longest ammount of time the reset probably occurred halfway through this.................unlucky
Give it a try though.
The lesson to learn here is to READ THRICE and flash once.....never ever disconnect your device out of impatience (which i suspect has happened many times on a radio flash) and be carefull these devices are expensive

I could not say better
I know, the MicroSD method is nice, but when I got the phone the guy gave me a MicroSD card, but not the regular SD card to read it on computers ( i do have a card reader) Guys a super appreciate the replies> I am gonna try everything rite now, but real quick is my Hermes FUCT??? or is this error fixable??? It is just losing communication everytime at the exact same place, it just seems like something is fixable, but my sorry luck i cant get over the hump!! I will let ya'll know ASAP
okay, here is the thing, Every Hermes ROM update utility I have downloaded wont work, i start it and the VERIFY INFO ON HERMS windows appears about 2 minutes late I get ERROR 260 and it exits! Now when I use the OFFICAL WM6 upgrade ROM from the ATT/HTC site it seems to read the HERMES and wanna start the upgrade process, but thats where it ends at 11% No other RUU I have used or tried has even gotten that far, I just get ERROR 260 before it starts and I have to exit.
What it looks like is I cant communicate with my HERMES at ALL!! Active Sync wont see, only when I reset my computer and reset the HERMES and I plug it in a different USB port, it says Installing New Hardware and HTC USB something and then Hardware has installed and is now ready to use. But Active Sync wont recogniZe it
I'm sorry to tell you that but i think you ****ed up your phone and it is as useless as my ****ing jasjam.
please give us some detailed info s about your hermes like IPL SPL GSM STATUS....
When I am in Tri Color Mode I see.......
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
and SERIAL at bottom, then USB when I plug it in to my computer
I had upgraded to WM6 before on it, but me being a impulsive FOOL, i flashed it again to get me back to Factory Setting (didnt know HARD RESET did the same) and I accidentally RESET my computer in the middle of ROM Upgrading and ever since I cant get past 11% when I try to do it again (using the OFFICAL WM6 ROM from HTC)
and I cant get any communication with mtty although I dont know much about that app, I get a CANT load screen appear
is your phone KITL enabled.
hold the COMM manager button + POWER button + OK button (the one on the left side under the jog wheel) and reset with stylus.
if you see KITL dialogue then it is KITL enabled (MY bricked jasjam is KITL disabled)
if it is KITL enabled then read : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=PB_KITL_HERMES and your phone will be just fine.
if it is not then your phone is ****ed up just like mine
HA HA, me and my phone guy (well the guy who I bought my Hermes from) HAVE FOUND A FIX to get the phone outta Bootloader Mode and back into OS!! in my case WM6!! I have to do it 1 more time to fully confirm the method!!!!!!!! My friend is calling "SHOCKING THE PHONE" but not really shocking anything!! I am reluctant to share the method, but this site needs more people to actually HELP out others

Mmm... do i understand correctly your post? Are you hesitating to help others because your method is risky, or because you express some exasperation about people on this site? In this case, do not forget that all people here are exchanging ideas, questions etc on a totally free base without any obligation. In the limits of there knowledge. Encountering a problem after flashing a device is the only responsability of the user. We just try to help. But i prefer to believe that you found a method, still risky, that you need still to test
That said, it seems that there are an increasing number of hermes encountering a problem with the radio part. It seems that stopping a flash at 11% is a symptom of that. See some consolidation of those problems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349461
I hope you will find a solution for your problem and moreover i hope that none of you bought a hermes second hand with an already radio part problem. If so try always to get your money back...
I AM trying to confirm my method BEFORE i share it, because it might work on mine, and I dont wanna screw anyones hermes up more

Why don't you answer my PMs????
Please tell me your sulotion and let me try that if you have any
I recently flashed to the new AT&T Test ROM 5.08. Basically I want to flash an energy rom over the AT&T and am having issues. Any rom I try to flash will go the gray loading screen on the phone and then hang up and gives the error 260 connection lost. I tried running the Raphael custom RUU before flashing the energy rom and I get an error 240 trying to run the custom ruu. I tried running the raphael unsigned hardspl and that only takes me to the black screen. From the black screen I've tried running the custom ruu and energy rom and nothing happens. Can anyone help me because I'm tired of this rom and I can't get anywhere!
Power off your device, hold the Volume Down button (keep hodling it), turn the device back on.
You should see the TriColor BootLoader screen; it should halt with USB or SERIAL displayed on the bottom white portion of the screen. Note the information that appears on the screen and post the details. To return to normal device operation, remove the battery for 30 seconds and put it back in.
That should assist us in determining the next steps.
HTH,
Screen appears:
RAPH110
SPL-5.08.0000
PSOC-Raph STAGE-CVT V0x36
PCBID 0x00
RID 0x0
Serial
It would appear that the HardSPL did not "take" or hasn't been applied yet. Here's the link to the HardSPL thread and Wiki page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_HardSPL
Once the HardSPL is applied, you should be able to flash custom ROM's to your device. If you need a "refresher" on flashing, have a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Lastly, although optional, you may want to consider performing a SIM unlock.
HTH,
It freezes the phone on the gray loading screen when trying to hardspl and then gives the 260 error code connection lost. I followed all the guides and nothing works (hence the point of starting the thread in the first place). I am a noob, but not a complete idiot that can't read guides. I understand if I can't hardspl, then I can't flash a rom. Well the hardspl does not work for me! I have tried the unsigned version which freezes the phone loses connection. I've tried the raphael wrapper which only takes me to the black screen and gives the error 240. From the black screen I cannot run spl or roms. I tried running stock spl's. I don't understand how the Test ROM flashed fine and now I can't flash anything.
The test rom worked fine because you don't need hard spl to flash it; it matched the carried id of your phone (CID). Hard spl CID-unlocks your phone, so you can flash non-ATT roms.
You should never try to flash a custom rom without hard spl. In the best case scenario, you'll be stonewalled. You need to use the wrapper that comes with the hard spl package to flash hard spl. Using any other wrapper is a waste of time. It says this clearly in the hard spl thread, where you should have posted your question. If you read the last 50 or so posts of that thread, you'll come across a post by Captain Throwback. He had some problems flashing H-spl, and he found some tricks to get it going. I suggest that you search the thread for his how-to. My guess is that you're forgetting something obvious, like turning off your anti-virus software or installing net framework 3.5 on your pc (if it isn't already there). You have to flash hard spl off of your pc, so don't even bother trying to flash it off your sd card. It's probably easier to do it off of XP than Vista.
I already tried the raphael wrapper as I stated twice. Raphael wrapper takes me to the black screen (where I read about the post by captain throwback). I followed everyones instructions that got it to work and still the same thing happens. The Wrapper only takes me to the black screen where I cannot do anything because the computer isn't synced with my Fuze and will not. Then the error 260 message comes up saying that there is no connection. Hence the point the wrapper won't work even with xp, antivirus turned off and 3.7 framework (even tried going back to 3.5 and same thing). I even tried doing everything at home on my vista notebook and the same things happen.

Few questions:
1) Under usual conditions, does the device establish a connection via ActiveSync?
2) Does the problem occur in a new user profile /w Admin priviledges on your XP workstation where you establish a Guest connection via ActiveSync to the device?
3) Have you tried a Hard Reset on your device prior to flashing HardSPL?
4) Have you removed the SIM and any SD Card for the time being?
5) Are you able to successfully flash a non-test version of an official AT&T ROM to your device?
1. Yes alot. Only use it for transferring files and battery charging.
2. No, registered device in activesync with full administrative rights to my workstation. I don't have any problems with losing connection during file transfer, etc.
3. Yes, did a hard reset a couple weeks ago and same thing. Possibly going to try it today again because I installed a couple programs before attempting hardspl the last time.
4. I take them out when trying to flash
5. No, I'm stuck with the AT&T Test ROM. Have tried ones on here that are supposed to be stock AT&T ROMs and the same thing happens.
Your response to #5 concerns me; just to make sure I understand ... you are unable to flash an official ROM to your device?
Here's the link to the latest official AT&T FUZE ROM:
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=198&cat=2&dl_id=553
Springboard URL: http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/main.jsp?t=solutionTab&solutionId=KB95876
Download the ROM and try flashing it to your device; if it fails ... time to call AT&T, you have a problem with your device.

Is there a net framework 3.7 for pc's? Or are you talking about your phone? You need net framework 3.5 on your pc to run the flash. It won't work with 2.0. It doesn't matter which compact framework you have on the phone.
Did you already try putting your phone in Bootloader mode, and then connecting it to your PC? Does it load the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies/HTC/Pocket PC USB Sync driver? Did you make sure the SIM and SD cards were removed from your device? FYI - You HAVE to use the RUU that comes with HardSPL in order for it to flash successfully. If you've verified that your computer has installed the drivers, and then been unable to successfully complete HardSPL, I'm not sure what to tell you. Do you press "yes" on the Device when running the HardSPL RUU & you're prompted to run the program?
Those are all the suggestions I have.
Last night as I was driving home my phone kept disconnecting as it was charging. I finally found the answer! First time it ever did that. So its back to AT&T for a new one. Probably should have mentioned that the phone was submerged in the toilet (thank god before the #2) a couple months ago. The phone went crazy and started saying error messages with email and then lines going thru it. But after a couple days of drying it worked fine again.

Hi All,
Seams I have done a stupid thing,
I have flashed a SPL 3.5 ROM (TAXIS ATHE100_WWE_96_192_4.SS.TX_WM6_1_b21041_1_6_0) onto my X7500 Dopod (U1000 phone) that only had SPL-v1.20.Olipro inplace!!!
(I was testing a few ROMs stored on my hard disk and picked the wrong one to flash!)
Now every time I start the phone I have to re align the cursor/stylus (which probable indicates a major problem!), and I don't like this ROM for lots of reasons - it probably suits someone else just fine but it's not for me
I can still connect to the X7500 with Mobile Device Center (MDC).
But when I try to re-flash any other ROMs (those that previously worked with SPL 1.2 the day before) using a USB cable and MDC, after 30 seconds or so it fails with ERROR 260 CONNECTION error on MDC, but the cable is good! During the process the phone starts to reboot, the screen is messy (bad video driver or something?) and then it launches the already installed TAXIS Windows Mobile to be Aligned again!
I have see some other issues that have a bit of similarity to this but cannot find a solution.
Any comments would be appreciated. I've only had the device for a few days. Is there a workaround to recover this. I think I can access folders and copy files to the device from MDC although I have not tried this.
Sorry for the long post!
Regards
Markster
me again....
I'm still a bit confused, is it possible to upgrade the SPL to 3.5, which I should have done in the first place..... or is it too late for that.
You can try the sdcard method if the device still have SPL 1.20-Olipro ... Read the wiki
Thanks for the suggestion... I will give that a go. Though for some reason I can no longer get the tri colour screen anymore. I recall now that I left the sdcard and sim in when I initially botch things up and have since read that causes unpredictable results. I can still launch win 6.1, but it re-initialized ever time I start up and I have to re-enter data. Not good, almost but not quite a brick!
Hi All,
I have a HTC HD2 TMobile USA. I'm experimenting some issues when rebooting the phone.
The phone works fine but when I reboot it, it stucks (lots of time) in the bootloader screen. Sometimes, after rebooting several times it works. Other times, I have to hard reset and then it works again.
I tried the following and it didn't fix the problem:
* Flash new radio (now 2.15.50.14)
* Flash new ROM (now last Energy with build 29xxx)
Any thought around this issue?
Thanks,
Pipaman
Please help with this issue.
If you need any clarification just ask me but the issue really exist and I cannot send the phone to the service because I'm in a different country.
If I was you I would firstly Reinstall your T-Mobile stock ROM follow by a Hard reset and than reinstalling a Custom ROM follow by a Hard reset.
I don't get in what way that is different to restore the TMobile original ROM. I did that several times before installing a new ROM.
I did that:
* I flahed a stock rom: Now I'm back to stick together screen.
It was working fine until I reboot after a couple of days. Then, it doesn't start again: stuck in 'Stick together' screen.
It's very weird because if I hard reset the phone it works again but it's impossible to live with a phone that cannot be restarted.
I tried changing the SD card to see if that was the problem and the same: after some time using the phone I cannot restart it.
i have t_mobile also and this thing happend to me after flashed back from wp7. and android,....i did task 29 then frelash custome rom .reflash radio.reformat sd,took my sim out and clean it,and now its good,dont know if this thing will back,hope not ; )
I tried that but the same. After using sometime the phone it doesn't reboot again. I tried everything here, I'm near to throw it to the wall

Just a question, do you have good battery connection? are the pins in normal state?
Thank you for your answer.
Yes, all the battery pins are fine. To clarify this point: if I hard reset the phone it works fine until I use it normally. I mean, if I reboot the phone after hard reset it reboots perfect.
However, if I start using it installing any stuff, set-up facebook profile or email accounts, the phone works fine until I reboot it.
Now, I'm using a stock ROM:
TMOUS_3.14.531.1
Radio 2.15.50.14_2
I tried different ROMs and different Radios and it's exactly the same: after using a couple of days if I reboot it, it will stay in the bootloader forever until I hard reset it again.
I found that if I don't configure facebook profile the phone lasts more but it's very weird and annoying.
Hey i got the same problem as you did. It's behavior is erratically. Given the fact that the phone is out of the box. . dude i didn't mod. I feel uncertain using such device when it can go back to "stick together screen" at anything. If i were you, I would just send the device for replacement. That's the reason why people buy iphone. I can see there are tremendous info flowing around here, but ppl seems too busy with developing, no one seems to care about troubleshooting.
Good to hear that I'm not alone with this issue. Unfortunately, I've bought the phone in the US in a trip and I'm in Argentina now so replacement is not a possibility
I understand now why people buy iPhone even. My problem is that I like to hear FM Radio and in my country the best GPS maps are for Garmin that has WM support.
For me this phone was exactly what I wanted. Of course, if it works!
At this point I tried everything: different Radios, different ROMs, not installing anything, etc. but it always happen again.
Now, I try not to reset the phone and I'm very careful to charge it everyday! It looks like I bought a tamagotchi.
What is the SPL version in Bootloader mode?
I'm using SPL 2.8 but the same issue was happening with the default bootloader.
I am just a bit confused, you say you have SPL 2.08(.0000 or .HSPL) and a 3.14 TMOUS ROM.
If that is the case then the RAM would be very low and possibly running Facebook would freeze it.
I'm using:
SPL 2.8 (I cannot verify exactly the version because I don't want to reboot the phone )
OS Version: 21913.5.0.94
Manila: 2.5.20181424.0
ROM: 3.14.531.1
Radio: 2.15.50.14
Protocol: 15.42.50.11U
I identified that Facebook was generating some lack of stability so I don't use it at all, not even to show the photos in the contacts.
I tried to use different ROMs but the stuck at bootloader was the same and I got some problems when the phone became locked: I was unable to unlock it so I had to reboot and guess what happened in the bootloader (I tried Energy ROM with both OS versions, I tried also Task29 before flashing)

BINGO. your absolutely right about that.
Issues with hanging and rebooting have been popular and if you try sd card ROM installation and "RSA radio fail" comes out while flashing then its probably a hardware problem and theory is that it is from heat so advice, get a replacement. I think there is a batch of hd2 phones that have faulty manufacturing
Hello. My HTC Titan is fully unlocked as I installed a custom ROM, right? That gives me the right to download XAP's from the inbuilt browser on my phone. I have installed Supermusic, XAPhandler and Devstore7 on my phone. Now, when I turn the phone off, and try to turn it back on, it stops at the HTC boot logo and the red mini-light on left-top corner is on. The only way to use my phone again is to go to SPL mode and factory reset everything. I have been doing this for a week now and Iam getting so irritated.
Does anybody have any idea what it could be?
Also, when installed a custom rom, the apps on your phone get access to your full device. Does this increase the usage of RAM? I know that my phone is morevulnerable for malware because it is running a custom Rom. Is there any sort of antivirus app or software I can install to reduce the chances of getting infected?
I would be very greatful if somebody who knows about fully unlocking a device could answer my questions.
Thanks
I recommend flashing the ROM again.
Remember, when flashing a ROM, your computer should be doing nothing else but that. Close off processes if you have to in order to free up RAM before flashing.
It isn't uncommon to get a "Bad" flash or even a bad download before the flash. So re-download and then re-flash from a Flash-ready computer.
Hope this helps ya, let us know.

I really REALLY REEEEALLY hope that it doesn't work for you.
The custom ROMs were awaited hopefully so that we could support our homebrew community that make some fantastic functionalities available on our phones. If you want to pirate stuff, kick developers' balls and then expect other developers to help you when pirate xaps f*** things up on your phone - I think every second anyone helps you, a cat dies somewhere in this world.
Please pay for the apps and support the developers instead of stealing their hardwork. It costs them their normal lives, eyes and hours of football matches.
MOD Notice
Do not discuss obtaining paid for apps for free, we do not support piracy on XDA. Support the developers, purchase the Apps!!
I am sorry
Right. I am sorry. I will buy these apps from now on
Pardon me for my bad behaviour, it wasn't meant to offence anybody.
Sorry once again.
And Btw, can I install things like homebrew apps now, because I have fully unlocked my ROM? What about Devstore7 and such? Any good idea how to tweak my phone with the registry editor? I am trying to set the WIFI to always on, is that possible?
I am only wondering, no offence to anybody.
Thanks,

Did you solve the reboot hanging problem? I'm not using any shady apps, hell I'm not using many apps at all at this point. Waiting for the HSPL fixed (mine is one of those stuck on 2.5 and can't flash HSPL or custom ROM).
Any way. Mine just started doing some weird ****. Some of my zune content can't be synced successfully (meaning it syncs and when I look for it on my phone it is a black box only. Some pics and music are just black icons, no labels and not there.) I connect to zune again and it says do more with a zune pass. I have a zune pass. Any way. I reboot the phone thinking that was gonna help and when it came back up, it had done a half ass hard reset (meaning nothing was there and had to go thru the motions of setting it up again, but in settings/about only 3GB was free)
So I flashed the stock ROM again from RUU not gold card (last time I did it thru gold card) upon completion, I set it back up, sync a couple songs and pics to it and I reboot it, no problem. So I sync some more to it, no problem after reboot. so I'm thinking it's good. So I do a FULL sync and install a few apps, then reboot. all good!
Then I install a few more apps and all have a problem and say needs attention, click here. I do and retry, but failed on all of them. so I reboot the phone (knowing what was gonna happen) well, this time it sat on good bye forever, never completely shut down, so I take the battery out and put it back in and start it up and for the first time it hangs on the HTC screen. So I go into SPL mode then try to boot again, hangs still. So I go back to SPL and so factory reset and now Im setting my phone up for the 3rd time today!
Any ideas?
I didn't want to give every app access to my phone so I installed Ultrashot's ROM. It has a root manager application to choose which apps have root access. Since you're gonna reflash anyways, I suggest trying Ultrashot's. I think it has more features than the DFT ROM, but you can decide that.
Good luck!

Geez, it seems that 98% of people who have the ATT Titans are having problems. I guess I must've lucked out when everything went A ok for me. I haven't been reading lately, so I am assuming you tried to debrand the device first by flashing the Euro stock rom? Did you try to upgrade the SPL to 2.6 from the HTC website?
Anyway, alright you said you flashed back to stock ROM -this is the ATT rom I'm assuming right? If so, try flashing BACK to the EURO rom. And do it through goldcard. After flashing the Euro rom...do a hard reset and see if it boots normally. Then I would try to upgrade the SPL again? to 2.6. If that doesn't work. Try to flash BACK to the ATT rom...do a hard reset and see if it works.
Wow, I must say that this is the craziest thing I've ever seen! It just reset again! This time. I was syncing an auto playlist (And I knew it was gonna be jacked up when the device summary screen had this "just removed from device (1 item)" and upon opening that up to see what was in it, it was blank!) and my wife sent me a text, I tried to unlock the screen, and it wouldn't unlock, in fact it seized the device up. The lock screen was partially slid up and stuck. So I waited with no luck.
I unplugged from PC and took battery out, then booted it back up. It took forever to boot up and was presented with setting up device for first time use (I figured). When I did and I get that same new device setup text, I noticed that there were still texts from yesterday in there and went to home screen and all my tiles from apps were still there but I when I tried to launch any of them, the screen just started to animated as if it were about to launch the app, then stopped. So couldn't launch anything.
I'm thinking that there is something with my zune setup doing this. So this time, I am booting my PC into Windows 8 and installing zune and try to sync the same content and see what happens!
Now before Mango, sometimes when I downloaded albums with zune pass on my HD7, some songs would lock up the phone. Meaning that the music would suddenly stop playing and if I hit play, skip, next or even played new playlist, it would seize the phone and force a reboot. I still have those songs on my PC and they play fine on the PC and the phone now since Mango, but zune did freak out a few months ago and created this random playlist named ".rcszasdfaskl23" some weird name starting with a ".rcs" and in that playlist were those songs that caused the phone to seize. The weird thing about this playlist is, it is in zune as content, but it is not listed in the playlist folder in windows explorer.
Any way, I'll report back after syncing with Win 8.

Hey xconomicron,
What were your exact steps that you followed? This is the first time that I heard an ATT Titan owner installing a Euro ROM first. I ordered all of the parts to install using y-cable but I'd rather install via software only.
Never mind. found the answer I was looking for. Sry.
@xconomicron
Thanks for reply. Upon receiving my y-cable and having my gold card all ready to go with the DFT SPL (2.05) on it. It did that first (just as all the directions said to do) after success, I tried the HSPL. The PC screen said success, but the Titan said otherwise. It comes back to SPL2.5 (really 2.05 but showing 2.5), This SPL will not allow ANY other ROM other than US Cingular 1.10 to be flashed (I've tried them all Gold Card method or RUU method). I've tried the HTC SPL 2.6 and it too says success, but the phone says NOPE!
So, I'm stuck with this AT&T crapy ROM that is locked out and the only thing I can do is force update it to 8107 (which only keeps the keyboard from disappearing as far I can tell). And now only to find out that my phone also has this memory capacity problem (when I fill it beyond 70% the phone freaks out and must do a hard reset to remedy).
I know that Cotulla is working on the SPL thing (asked for testers last week) and if I can, I plan to hold out to see if a custom ROM fixes this memory problem.
Thanks
You have to install HSPL to flash custom ROMs. Its in the Windows Phone Development forum as DFT HTC Second Gen HSPL or something
Sent from my TITAN X310e using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I realize that, but for whatever reason, mine and a few other AT&T Titans will not accept the HSPL. The SPL 2.05 will not downgrade back to 1.10 or accept HSPL or OSPL or custom ROM or EUR ROM. I've tried all by gold card and RUU.
Sent from my PI39100 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
So you're having an issue flashing the compatible SPL with GoldCard?
There have been many problems with that. Make sure you made your GoldCard correctly and the cable configuration is correct. Y USB cables usually have one thinner wire, and usually carries only power, so it's most likely that the power will go there. Then the SD card (or flash drive) and phone go in the other two. Mine worked with the power on the thin wire, phone on the middle port that's connected to both, and the flash drive on the other end. This wasn't the configuration in the GoldCard thread, so the guide's might not work. Really, there's I think 6 possible configurations so it wouldn't hurt to try them all.
Good luck!

I believe that this issue with AT&T Titan arises for those who directly flashed (through goldcard) DFT spl 2.05. Once the DFT spl 2.05 rom is installed there is no way of going back to stock cingular rom spl 1.10 or ability to debrand phone to euro version (even goldcard method will not work). Debranding At&t Titan to Euro rom v2.5 first before flashing the DFT spl2.05 is the best route to take, it also ensure that the phone is fully compatible with all the known custom roms, except for nhathoa rom, all are based on euro rom and radio version.

It would be in your best bet to go and read the other threads. One in particularly...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693334
Basically, MOST ATT branded devices are having problems installing the DFT 2.5 SPL+HSPL. In fact, those that have tried to directly flash DFT's 2.05(2.5) SPL -without debranding the device to the EURO rom listed in the link- are usually stuck on the 2.5 SPL without being able to flash anything else at all. -Which means, no installing roms, upgrading/downgrading SPL's.
The steps I used are on that thread. Habnzrot has also listed the steps he used to successfully debrand his device and install DFT's HSPL/Custom Rom.
Follow the steps carefully...Debranding your device is your number one priority BEFORE doing anything else!
If you need any help just ask.
Okay guys. I think somebody should post a thread that explains how to install the original OSPL and stock rom to their device. Many are having issues. I have this memory capacity issue myself. I hard reset my phone at least 3 times a day.
Could anybody WHO knows how to install stock OSPL and rom post a guide for that? I would be very glad if somebody could.
I have started this thread "Install OSPL(and original rom) after installing any custom rom with HSPL." in Titan windows phone development. I hope you guys will participate in that thread.
Thanx
