once that was finished the phone wouldnt leave the bootloader so I used titan_exitbl.exe

that allowed the phone to reboot and start loading winmo 6.1

it brought me to the screen calibration so I started that but on one of the taps the phone rebooted and thats what it keeps doing.....every few tries it will allow me to get to the screen after the calibration but never past that it just reboots.....please help lol

You need to put a custom ROM on your phone. Either one that you made with a kitchen or a premade rom that is compatible with the radio you loaded.
What is your bootloader and radio versions?

I fixed it
-1.2 bootloader was installed
-installed 2.17 htc official release
-was able to boot into winmo
-upgraded to 2.4 bootloader once I was able to sync with active sync
-installed newest "official" rom release
-now back up and running with no issues

I think this happens when some of the settings in EPST get corrupted. Next time you could try this:

Go into EPST-->Edit-->Enter your MSL-->View Info-->M.IP Settings-->Change MIP_Mode to a different value, and then change it back. You can alter and restore other settings as well, the goal is just to get the device to refresh. Hit Menu-->OK. Your device will reset, and hopefully acquire signal at normal speed.

I've ran into this issue on other radio upgrades also. The fix for me was somewhat like the one bedoig suggests, however I am just refreshing the MSID and MDN. Don't even have to change them and apply settings, just erase the number there and re-add it. Then OK your way out and all should be good after reset.

Ya, I'm thinking all the settings in EPST are refreshed whenever any change is made. Doesn't seem to matter what you change, as long as you change something. Not sure which setting is the actual culprit.
