HTC Touch Pro Raph500 Stuck at Verizon loading screen

I'm at a loss here and hope someone has got some knowledge I can soak up. I have an htc touch pro that had been unlocked and had an ssk rom on it. I tried to port it to metro but ssk roms apparently lock down the ##data# (or any variants including ##diag#). I've tried flashing it to juicy and mighty; neither would load up, the device would just hang at the verizon screen. It claims that security is unlocked in bootloader and I can make a usb connection with my pc and start to flash roms. It get's to o percent and hangs forever and never loads the rom. I've tried a hard reset and it just goes to I've tried everything and am at a complete loss, nearly ready to just smash this phone to bits and never use htc again...does anyone have any insight? I've already looked at xda and howards forums...

Moved to the Touch Pro forum.

Wrong Place... but I'll help the worried... Phone sounds fine. Bad flash maybe. Soft reset holding power and down vol key ONLY. This should send you into bootloader where you can then try to flash another rom. I suggest you flashing back to stock before attempting to flash another custom rom. GOOD LUCK

Edit ... LOL mod moved while i was replying .. Good job guys.

Verizon phones are gimped. There are lots of roms that the phone just does not like, and won't get passed the verizon logo on. Lately, I've found that the vast majority of released roms won't boot, I suspect is has something to do with the version of winmo they're based on (later versions need more RAM to boot?).

So really your only option is to experiment with ROMs and find one that boots that you're happy with. Personally I'm on Psyki 090929 (the final release wouldn't boot)

I've tried mighty, juicy, and even going back to ssk. they all freeze loading at zero percent. hard reset does no good, soft reset does no good and when i try to flash to a new rom, the ruu indicates there is no rom installed as the previous. It gets into bootloader just fine; tri color screen claims "security unlocked" yet won't install anything. This is day three...i'm burnt out. If someone could point out a link to a rom other than ssk that runs on this hunk of junk please do, otherwise i'll just keep beating my head against this proverbial brick wall. thanks!

has nothing to do with the gimped phone. the reason most premade roms dont want to work is because the pagepool is set to high. start with a kitchen and make sure to adjust the pagepool down to 10 and they will all load as long as there made for a CDMA phone.

OP. download the basic rom from SSK(not the kitchen) save to a SD card and rename to RAPHIMG.nbh power off the phone. insert sd card. power up the phone and put in bootloader and let it do its thing.

oh, and there is a .cab for fixing the ## dialing codes.

Changing the pagepool to 10 does nothing, installations are still stuck at 0 percent. For any rom, I've tried haze, ssk, mighty and juicy...they are all a no go. I'm still stuck with this stupid stock verizon windows mobile 6.1 garbage...so tempted to hard reset this against a wall. Anyone else have any brilliant ideas?
