I had a Sprint Touch that had that oh so fashionable red green blue and white screen on it. I called HTC and Sprint. HTC told me that I needed to try to install the ROM update from a computer with XP. Something in Vista messes with the installation. Guess what! It works. I didn't have to do any cracks or anything and it totally fixed it. It was kinda like Christmas and my birthday all in one. Just thought ya'll might want to know that this really does work.

Congrats! Not really a surprise about Vista, however. Doesn't seem to play well with much of anything.

Really? I flash on Vista atleast 3 times a week with stock and custom ROMs

Fixed my phone like 3 times by flashing the stock ROM using Vista

Is it SP1 that messes it up? I dont use SP1 it freezes for me

It might be. I have SP1 installed. HTC pretty much said it was a known problem with Vista. It installed perfectly when I installed it from XP.

Hey Dette..... I downloaded you ultimate titan ROM.... Im new to this whole flashing thing, I was wondering if I could get play by play directions on how to do this. Thanks, anything you can give me would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I updated my rom from the HTC website and can not get my GPS to work, I was hoping your ROM would be a fix. Thanks..

P.S. I have Sprint by the way.

Are you doing this on a Titan or a Vogue?

In redgards to the OP,
I am having the same trouble, i just downloaded everything to update to the new 3+ radio on my touch, and i got the RUU up and running and everything synced with my Vista laptop and i got an error, It wouldnt upload the new rom to my phone and said that it was the wrong RUU for my phone. I am also stuck at the tricolor screen.

After reading the first post on this thread i decided to run it on my home pc with windows XP and the phone is accepting the new rom as i type.

I dont mind using vista but just little things like these make me want to update my home pc and just use xp all the time and leave the vista laptop for entertainment only.

Just wanted to say im glad you posted! my phone is now at 83% and im really glad its working!
