Official WM6.1 installed + try to install HardSPL + 0% stuck

Hi,
I have installed the last official version on WM6.1 on my htc.
Now i want to install one custom rom from this forum.
I tried to istall first HardSPL, but i don't know why, the process get stuck at 0% of the install and never continue.
If i try to reinstall Official WM6.1 it works fine, but with HardSPL 0%.
In the 3 color screen appear:
POLA100
SPL-3.13.0000
CPLD-2
Someone can help me?
Thanks

Why double posting?
Do some more reading about how to flash. There are millions of posts about that, with many tips and tricks.

Active synch your PDA
On the PDA tap yes to the two prompts to load programs#
When you get to the tri colour screen unplug the usb lead - wait a couple of seconds - plug back in and the install should continue and jump from 0% to 100% quickly.

It Works!!!!
Thanks a lot, i have spedn 3 days trying to intall it and reading the forum.
Thanks a lot.

Here's a tricky problem, need expertise!! Kind of urgent..

I have read and read and read. I have "bricked" my phone in the past and fixed it. I have used, tested, and flashed many roms from this site (Thanks to all cooks for their work!) but I still consider myself somewhat 'new' to troubleshooting.
I woke up this morning to make some important phone calls today and as luck would have it, my phone was stalled again. It's been doing that for a few weeks now. My last flash was Open Touch 5.0 UL I believe (either that or 5.2 biggy) and it has been working great except for the occasional freeze.
EDIT: Forgot to add, the actual problem is now it won't boot up after it froze this morning. Just sits at the boot screen
So I've tried my other methods of fixing it... /edit
Except this morning nothing is working. I have tried flashing with Orig. T-mobile ruu, tried SD flashing with the RUU_signed.nbh, tried restarting the computer, phone, removing battery and sim... NOTHING! When trying the sd flash (which I've never done before today, it reads and tells me to push the down button but then goes to bootloader screen and just sits there. With the RUU I'm getting err 300 but I'm using the SAME RUU (4.10...) that I've used in the past to reflash my phone AND tried the new one (4.26...)
Possible problem: Does it matter what kind of usb cable you use? I don't have the normal one I use as I am not home but I figured usb is usb...
I've read about it being a motherboard issue, how common is this?
I've read somethings about MTTY, would this apply to me??
Please help, anyone who has any suggestion, I'll try it!!
Stats:
IPL 4.10.0002
SPL 4.10.0000
NOT hard-spl'd
Wing w/ Open Touch Project 5.0 or 5.2

actualy the sd method needs hard spl thats all i can really provide

I appretiate it, that I did not know... I could barely find anything on how to do it even.

im having the same problem bt instead of freezing da screen jus goes different colors or jus goes gray and stays der

Thats basically what mine did. The colors would get messed up and no matter what button i pressed it would not do anything. My advice to you edrift, is BACK UP YOUR STUFF NOW and reflash it asap if you can still reboot. I can get into my phone at all now.

yea i tink i might jus throw my phone away.dis is jus gettin rediculous

Stuck in bootloader...

I am afraid my Polaris bricked, but I hope somebody knows a solution. Let me explain:
I turned off my device to get my microsd card out. I put the card in my cardreader to fill it with a lot of music. After that I inserted the card in the polaris, turned on the pda, and I got into the bootloader screen .
I tried to soft reset: bootloader screen again, tried to hard reset: bootloader, tried to flash original rom: rom update complete and after that bootloader, tried to flash several cooked roms: rom update complete and again the bootloader. When I try to charge my polaris it automatically turns on and goes to the bootloader. Flashing with microsd doesn't work. I also tried the thing with mtty, but it doesn't show the usb option in the list...
I DID hard-spl, I was using udk diamond R8 and never had any trouble before, while flashing about once a 2 months. I really am desperate, because I am unable to charge the pda now. I searched well and I only found threads of people who forgot to hard-spl before flashing custom roms.
I hope someone comes up with a brilliant idea, I love my Polaris way too much working and I don't want it to be a nice looking pda that doesn't work anymore.
PLEASE HELP!

I now manage to get into the mtty application, but I don't know if it is a good idea to use it. The problems I found here which could be solved with mtty are different from my problem I think. What would be wise to do? I flashed various original roms, and radios. That seems to work as normal, but after flashing I keep returning in the bootloader screen .
I hope one of you has an idea what to do. If it is something that is involving risk, I think I should do it anyway, because in this current state my Polaris is useless.

a few ideas! maybe they can help!
1) do you have warranty? you can restore back to original spl and then get HTC to ix it!
2) Try flashing your phone without the MicroSD card in place, maybe with the stock HTC Rom

Another option - try to delete all files from your memory card.

Thanks for the replies.
1) do you have warranty? you can restore back to original spl and then get HTC to ix it!
I read the thread about restoring back to original spl. There is stated that you can't restore to original spl if you are stuck in bootloader...
2) Try flashing your phone without the MicroSD card in place, maybe with the stock HTC Rom
I tried a lot of times, but every time after flashing has finished, I return to the bootloader
Another option - try to delete all files from your memory card.
I formatted my memory card in fat32, tried to flash with sd-card. When I turn on the phone it shows about 0.5 seconds something like "no rom image" and returns to bootloader screen
My cruise is still stuck, and I really think about trying things in mtty as a last resort... Anybody who knows what commands I should give in mtty in this situation? All help is appreciated, and if a suggestion makes my polaris work again I will donate the brilliant xda-member 20 euro's!

I have the same fault and have not found a solution. Every time I soft reset I am stuck in the boot loader screen. If I switch off the phone using comm manager then soft reset the phone will boot okay.
The only method I have found to be able to boot properly is to leave the battery out overnight and then start the phone in the morning. Always boots without a problem this way.
To make matters worse the USB port on my phone is broken...

Help guys! anyone....

This is the story:
I bricked my phone (Elf) because I didn't CID unlock it after installing the Opal 6.1 rom. So when I tried to install the backup ROM I made it got bricked. I read all the threads about how to revive the phone and I can't get any to work.
I can't do the GoldCard since I don't have a working WM phone. So I tried the Wild card unbricker ROM and the phone got worse. Now I only get to the tri color screen without any "RUU" at the top and every time I try to flash another ROM on it it shuts and I get an error message saying something like "Invalind vendor or error in image" etc... Please help me, what happend??? I cant flash any ROM. I cant do hardspl. I can't do anything.
PLEASE HELP ME! Anyone who's familiar to this problem?
Thx in advance!

Is it bricked?

Can anyone help me?
I was flashing back to stock SPL, using sd card, and pulled the sd card out while it was flashing (don't ask, I seemed to forget for a moment what I was doing and realized I needed my card for my other phone) Now, I have the stock SPL, shows PANT200 SPL-0.36.0000 CPLD-2 when phone starts, and says "Upgrade ROM code error Please Try Again". But, if I put my sd card in it with PANTIMG.nbh SPL file, then I get a screen that says "Loading...". And that's it, left it like that forever it seems and no change.
Any idea? It won't connect to the computer so I can't flash from computer. Even QPST won't find it.
FWIW: I do kinda know what I am doing. Unlocked mine and wife's Treo Pros with Cmonex hard spl, and flashed several ROMs, including a couple I cooked with NightRaven's kitchen. I was just going back to stock cause my wife doesn't like changes, and now this happened.
TIA,
Malachi

OK, thanks to cmonex I got this working again. Had to connect to mtty and run: set 16 0.
Did that and soft reset, and Voila! my Pro works again..
Thanks Cmonex!!!!

Out of curiosity:
I need to revert to the original stock spl as well. Have not found a way yet...Could you offer me some guidance.
Thanks.
