My guess is that you needed the radioo or slpash and loading stock gives you all.
You may want to check & update them, but I would not use update prl icon, rather check threads for best versions.
Now that you have your phone working good, dont let that past issue phase you as practically all cooked roms are better than stock

question. im google searching as we speak, cause timing is a factor and focusability is dwindling (ADDmeds wearing off) but the task 29 i am using only writes over the splash screen. (post 9 i believe) now would it be possible to dissemble the the .nbh file and change the splash screen? or would i have to completely assemble one through a kitchen? is the splash screen even kept in the .nbh file, or is it somewhere else?

I'm also getting "could not communicate with device" errors; now I can't even flash a ROM except from my memory card. Is this happening to anyone else? It started right after a successful Task29.

this is normal for task29. the standard RUU utility (flashing software) looks for an activesync connection to the device to grab the device information, and since task29 wipes everything out there is no software. to bypass this, after task 29, you either need to flash from SD card, or put the phone in bootloader mode and run the update utility.

if you have a RHODIMG.nbh on your SD card already, you will have to push volume down to cancel that update and allow the current one to load.

i tried running task29 and it was successful only thing was that i got stuck on the TP2 splash so....
1) i downloaded the stock rom fromt he HTC site (couldn't find any rhodimg.nbh files in the threads)
2) extracted it using winzip i'm at work i can't install 7zip
3) renamed the nbh file to 'rhodimg.nbh'
4) loaded it onto an empty SD card
5) put the phone into Bootloader & started the install screen comes up w/ the progress bar
6) it goes from the following:
Bootloader - OK
Splash 1 - OK
Splash 2 - OK
Radio - OK
OS -
Update in Progress...
6) the bar is now full and still says it is updating for quite some time now

is there anything i did wrong that it is stuck on this screen?
should i just restart the phone w/o the SD card and hope it boots up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

sounds like you did that right. try pulling the battery out for a couple minutes and then try again. it might help to redownload the rom too.

you're welcome.
try the task 29 again and redownload the rom. maybe it's corrupt.
