[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nelvbautista:
I have a properly HardSPL'ed TMO-TP2, in the past 2 weeks or so, I've flashed with the following ROMs via USB in chronological order, running task29 in between & HR after every flash of a ROM

simplicity_15_November_28244CHT

EnergyROM 28244 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec20

EnergyROM 29007 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec27

Energy.RHODIUM.28244.Sense2.5.MaxSense.Dec.22

Here's the problem, after MaxSense Dec22, I decided to revert back to EnergyROM 28244 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec20, but my TP2 now loops in the following order:

a. splash screen 1 (pink "stick together" box)

b. splash screen 2 (same pink box with BRGD & numbers below)

c. screen brightens a bit

d. shows Energy initial setup screen ("Please wait while your device is starting for the first time...")

e. screen dims

f. device restarts repeating the same sequence over & over again

What I have done so far with corresponding results:

1. Re-ran task 29 - went smoothly, no errors (also done in between flashes below)

2. Reflashed via USB (and Hard Reset afterwards) to

a. TMO-USA TP2 Official ROM - no go, same splash screen-tmo-windows splash screen loop

b. Simplicity_15_November_28244CHT - no go, tmo-simplicity splash screen loop

c. EnergyROM 28244 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec20 - no go, tmo-energy splash screen loop

d. EnergyROM 29007 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec27 - no go, tmo-energy splash screen loop

e. Energy.RHODIUM.28244.Sense2.5.MaxSense.Dec.22 - no go, tmo-energy splash screen loop

3. Left the device loop itself crazy overnight while plugged to HTC OEM AC Wall Adapter

4. Soft Reset - still no go, same tmo-energy splash screen loop

5. Re-ran task 29 - went smoothly, no errors (also done in between flashes below)

6. Now via mSD not USB: Reflashed and Hard Reset afterwards to

a. TMO-USA TP2 Official ROM - no go, same splash screen-tmo-windows splash screen loop (only done via USB, not mSD but I repeated it just in case it might work)

b.simplicity_15_November_28244CHT - no go, tmo-simplicity splash screen loop

c. EnergyROM 28244 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec20 - no go, tmo-energy splash screen loop

d. EnergyROM 29007 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec27 - no go, tmo-energy splash screen loop

e. Energy.RHODIUM.28244.Sense2.5.MaxSense.Dec.22 - no go, tmo-energy splash screen loop

f. EnergyROM 28244 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec21 Christmas Ed. - no go, tmo-energy splash screen loop

7. Just pulled out the battery, put it back in, plugged to HTC OEM AC Wall Adapter, left it charging for 3 hours (not looping at this stage, just showed orange LED while its off)

8. When I saw the green LED indicating a full charge, I tried the following:

a. Turned it on - no go, tmo-energy splash screen loop

b. Hard Reset - no go, tmo-energy splash screen loop

c. Reflashed to EnergyROM 28244 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec21 Christmas Ed. via mSD - no go, tmo-energy splash screen loop

8. Now, I just removed mSD, pulled out the battery, put it back in, plugged to HTC OEM AC Wall Adapter, will leave it charged for the rest of the day (currently shows orange charging LED)

I hope with this detailed account, someone could help me narrow this down to just a battery issue and not an internal chip-level damage, a stuck byte that hicks up the boot process or something that may lead to warranty replacement. This was an early Chrismas gift from my wife & bought all the way from Singapore so SPL'ing it back to stock SPL ROM & claiming it through warranty is not an option for me.

Thanks in advance.
