This is certainly a new one for me.

Phone information:
Touch Pro 2 (Sprint)
Battery about 90% charged
Unlocked SPL-1.00 OliNex

Process:
Generally, when I flash I do it one of two ways. I either put the IMG file on SD card and flash that way, or I go into bootloader and flash via USB having manually put the phone into bootloader. I don't sync the phone with my desktop PC so I don't have activesync or WMDC installed.

In a little over two years with this phone, I've never had an issue.

Detail Scenario One - microUSB:
Unplug from USB and/or AC (result is the same with our without AC adapter)
Pull battery
Insert mSD card (I've full FAT32, not quick formatted three different cards) with RHODIMG.NBH.
Insert battery
Trigger bootloader (volume down + power)
Bootloader (tri color screen - SPL-1.00 OliNex) comes up
Immediately transitions to an all grey screen that reads

Loading ...

And then nothing else happens.

Detail Scenario Two - PC/USB:
unplug from AC / usb
Pull battery
remove microSD card
insert battery
Trigger bootloader (volume down + power)
Bootloader (tri color screen - SPL-1.00 OliNex) comes up
White part at bottom reads Serial
Plug into PC USB cable
White part at bottom changes to USB
Run "RUU_Rhodium_W_S2_Sprint_WWE_2.04.651.4_RS_2.32.00 WF" ROM installer - using something from HTC/Sprint to avoid issues with bad NBH or RomUpdateUtility
Next

Update
Next
Next
PC screen updates to "Updating the ROM image on your PDA Phone" at 0%
Touch Pro 2 screen toggles to grey screen with 0% update progress
Nothing else happens ... some time later, the desktop PC updater flips out of update mode and walks through the flash recovery steps
the Touch Pro 2 screen stays at 0% until I pull the battery and start over.

Thoughts ?
