I have not done any software tampering with my phone, this morning when I turned it on it went into the tricolor boot screen. My computer doesn't register it on the USB port, but the phone does say usb when plugged in. I did a hard reset a few times successfully but when i restart the phone it goes back into the tricolor. I downloaded the update and extracted the file "Tian_ship.nbh" and put it into a fat32 memory card and was able to update to 6.1. After the update it loaded fine, and was "customizing". When it was complete, it rebooted by itself and went back to the tricolor. I give up. Any suggestions?

look for the titan exit rar. search is your friend.

Thanks for your input. Search is my friend, I spent four hours today searching. I have tried that exit thing first, but my computer does not recognize the usb connection. The only way I can flash anything is via SD card. If there is a way to use the exit rar on the sd card please let me know. I am a noob I admit, but I tried searching prior to posting...

Ok so I managed to get it out of tricolor by continuing to reflash and restart. Now it seems to be restarting properly and not going to reboot, BUT it is still not being recognized by mobile center. It was recognized under the "safley remove hardware tab" as HTC usb sync, but neither seen in my computer folder or the mobile center. Whats the deal?

Restarted and stuck on the tricolor again...

have you turned off activesync? you have to uncheck the option for USB connection for the exit rom to work.

Yes it is off. I have seen several posts with people with the same issue and everyone always thinks thats the problem. The computer reads the phone as a malfunctioned device and will not connect to it. therefore anything involving exiting bootloader via USB is out of the question. Sometimes I can get it to load windows and it boots up like a new phone, but after it customizes as it is suppose to on first bootup it restarts in bootloader again.

Ok this is weird. After flashing with the newest ROM, I can get it to load up correctly until i restart and it goes back into bootlader. But if I leave it alone for over an hour and come back it will load up again normally AND CONNECT VIA USB! Yet upon restarting it goes into bootloader again and will not come out until i leave it off for any hour or so and turn it back on. WTF?

do a hard rest, then turn phone OFF and connect to the USB. the yellow charge light should come on. once that has come on wait a few seconds and turn the phone on. i had a simular problem and that actually allowed my pc to see the phone.

Yea i figured that out and got it to connect, but it still restarts in bootloader. If I can connect to the USB, is there someway I can reflash the bootloader? Maybe that will fix it?
