well sorta, but you see... there's more too it than that... lemme break it down

ok, well now on your phone you've got SPL and OS and Radio, that's (3) parts not just (1)

1) SPL - you flash this only once to 'unlock' your phone. once your unlocked, its done.

2) OS - this is the custom ROM part, and the part you already understand.

3) Radio - GPS vs Non-GPS (there's more to radios, but lets keep it simple...)

On the HTC Titan and HTC Touch devices there are both GPS and non-GPS Radios, OS's, and SPL's
In order for your phone to boot and operate correctly they must all match (so they must all must be GPS or non-GPS)
When they do not match, you will experience the symptoms you posted.
