HELP! - Cannot flash bootloader away from SPL-0.41.coke

I have a major issue here. Please bear with me.
I flash my phone to the official 6.1 rom a few months back. Now I recently decided to try a custom rom by NFSFAN. So first thing was to flash the bootloader by IMCokeMan version 0.41. After doing that I flashed the custom rom. Once it booted up my phone kept reboot itself every few seconds or so. It turns out now that it was a battery issue, but I was sure the battery was fine and thought it was simply an incompatibility issue with the rom.
So I then tried to flash the official 6.1 rom back on, but it froze at 44% and then threw a 262 error after a minute or so. I then learned that I needed to flash the IMCokeMan 0.40 unlocker/relocker to get the official rom back on. So I did. Then tried the official rom again, and lone behold, froze at 44% and then gives the 262 error.
Then I thought I'd try the NFSFAN's rom again. So I flashed that. Once it successfully finished and started to load it freezes at the Telus splash screen and "No Radio" appears in red on the screen.
So this is where I'm at. I've tried to flash nearly every bootloader I could find and no matter what I do the bootloader always shows "SPL-0.41.coke". I can't flash any official rom including Telus, Bell or Sprint as they each freeze at different spots but consistently at the same spot individually (Telus at 44%, Bell at 30-some%, Sprint at 29%). I can flash custom roms as well as the beta wm6.5 rom but those don't fully load and give the "No Radio" error.
The ONLY rom I can successfully flash is an old 6.0 rom that someone dumped from a telus vogue. But in this rom under "Device Information" the rom is 1.11.661.1 and the radio version field is blank! And I cannot make data connections, as in I cannot connect to the internet, etc.
So my question to anyone that may know is: why am I having these issues with the radio version? How can I get rid of the SPL-0.41.coke bootloader?
And what can I do at this point? Any help from anyone is a thousand times over appreciated!

*********** bump-a-doo? *************

eeps! similar issue! did I brick it???
My symptoms are different, but the way I got there is pretty much the same:
I wanted to try NFSFAN's 1.28 Bell rom, so I unlocked with IMCokeMan's 2.31 unlocker (2.31 instead of 0.41 because I had previously upgraded to UTStarcom's Bell WM6.1 rom with the 3.42.50 radio when it came out). The unlock process went smoothly, and I had no problem flashing NFSFAN's 1.28 rom after that either.
NSFAN's RUU said I was successful, and my Vogue automatically restarted but got hung up on the "Bell" splash screen, I tried to let it work itself out for over 15 minutes before I tried a reset, but it still had the same problem. Tried a hard reset: same problem. I let it sit connected to the charger for a half week now and it still is hung at the "Bell" splash screen.
I'd try to flash the stock rom again, but I can't get the RUU to work without an activesync connection (right?).
Did I brick it? Any advice would be appreciated.
Here's everything my version-screen says if it helps at all:
M 03
B 01
P DCAAXOM-4350H
R 3.42.50
D 3NFS (is that NFSFAN's rom or an error?)

I've been reading through the ImCoKeMaN's unlocker sticky (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370), and I noticed there is a "VERY IMPORTANT / Warning" referring to the 0.40 rom you used. Here's what it says:
If your carrier did not release a rom and you flash an exe of another carrier with the 0.40 unlocker you won't be able to flash ANY rom until unlocking again (this requires booting into WM)

then it points to this: ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/ImCoKeMaN/Vogue_unlocker.exe
Hopefully that helps you out.

Thats the problem im having theres no way I know to get passed that screen that says no radio. So you can't even get into WM. So since it cant load into WM you can't run the unlocker. Most custom roms flash fine but its the radio thats missing it wont go past that.

You do NOT need to be in WM to unlock, WM has nothing to do with it
Start phone in bootloader mode (power+camera+stylus in reset hole and hold this until the 3 color screen comes up) it will say serial at the bottom
Plug in the USB cable to your PC and it will change to say USB
Start the 2.31 Unlocker RUU.EXE (RomUpdateUtility.exe) file, follow the steps
then run your custom ROM when after it restarts do does it thing and reboots again by going back into bootloader mode and doubleclicking the RUU.exe file in the custom ROM folder you want to use
Once it runs through the setup after flashing and then the autorun and restarts - hard reset the phone (red+green+stylus in hole) until a gray screen comes up
Follow directions and then setup and autorun and reboot
Make sure you have a carrier cab and/or mms fix either on your PC to copy over to your phone or on your SD Card ahead of time and you should be set to go

I answered his question on his thread. You forgot one thing though Doug. He doesn't have a radio. He'll need to flash back to stock before he flashes a custom. Doesn't this get frustrating???

Fixed: Verizon Vogue Stuck at vzw splash screen

This is the first time I've messed with this phone I've flashed many different models in the passed but this is the only one that is giving me issues and the worst part is that its not mine so any hell i will greatly appreciate it.
Here is what i did read what ever i can to get more accustomed to this phone. and searched everywhere to help me figure out what i can do.
So i flashed the unlocker. Coke 2.31
after i did that i flashed nfsfan's 1.5 rom using usb cable.
no i cant get into the operating system at all it hangs at the vzw splash screen.
Is there a way to get this phone back to normal? i cannot connect thru activesync and when i tried to reflash using sd card it shows the loading screen for a split secon then goes back to the bootloader.
Please help its my bros phone i need it up and running asap.
Thank you
This post helped quite a bit

Just thought that I would post what happened to my phone and the steps that eventually recovered it in case it helps somebody else:
My phone was stuck with "No Radio" on the boot loader screen and the SPL as "SPL-2.31.CoKe", but none of the 3.x ROMs would flash properly that I tried. So here are the steps that eventually recovered it (mostly...):
1.) I installed the ROM above from the tri-color screen (power+camera+reset). I still had no radio, but it was letting me past this and booting up to WM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357762
2.) I then re-flashed the 2.31.CoKe boot loader (not sure if this step is necessary but listing what worked...)
3.) I tried to install RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_Ship.exe but it failed at 10% restarting to RUUNBH screen and the installer gave me Error [290]: Invalid Command
4.) I then tried to install the latest sprint ROM straight from the HTC site:_Touch by HTC (Sprint)_RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.4_2_Radio_3.42.30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship this looked like it was going to fail at the same part the Verizon rom did as it rebooted at 10% to RUUNBH screen, but the Sprint installer did something (I heard the computer lose and gain connection multiple times) and eventually it went right back and continued on from 11% and finished successfully.
5.) Rebooted and I had a radio now! Rather then risking trying to install the Verizon ROM again I went straight to the custom ROM I had originally started out with: NFSFAN 6.5 V6 which is working fine for me, except the GPS which is what started out my adventure of the last 3 days...
Just a note: for all flashes except the final one I simply waited till it was at the "Tap the screen..." stage till flashing. I never let any ROM but the final one run it's customization.

The above method works on a Vogue that is stuck on the bootloader screen with no radio.
Or if you get a rom to install and it stops at a windows screen that says no radio.
the only difference i tried was i didn't use the HTC Official Sprint rom, as i could not find it.
I used this rom.
RUU_Vogue_4350_ALLTEL_WWE_3.10.671.1_RS3.42.30_NV2.02_PRL30031_SHIP.exe
I let all customizations run on the last rom update.

Please help!!!

Ok, I'm with Bell mobility, had nsf's 6.5 rom installed. I had t osend my phone in for repair, so I needed to downgrade.
I read the instructions and put the coke 0.41 unlocker on, Now I try putting on the original bell rom and it stops at 31% and says theres a error.
What I've tried
-Restarting the rom, keeps erroring at 31%
-Tried the unlocker again, says no device connected
-Tried the 2.31 unlocker still says nothing connected
Somebody please help

Why do people keep using the .41 unlocker? That is for non-gps devices.
You need to flash the .40 unlocker, then the stock ROM.
Flash from bootloader (Power+ Camera button, and stylus reset)

Thanks for your quick response, I got it back up by putting the custom rom back on, but as you just said the wrong unlocked
where would i get .40

I found 0.40
Now do I just downgrade the unlocker, let it restart the device and everything it does and then install the stock rom?

Yep.
10chars

ok so I installed 0.40, and then the stock rom
It stopped at 31% again, I followed the recovery, removed the battery and it went back to stock!!!
Thanks

ok have a new problem, Now it turns on, Gets to the today screen and I get the error "\windows\ppst.exe does not exist" And it won't let me do anything, have to take the battery out

You're going to want to flash it again. It should have gone all the way through. ppst.exe is loaded during customizations.

Ok, so now activesync won't connect, so it won't let me flash the rom again
my internet won't work on it, I'm guessing it has to do with ppst.exe not installing.
What should I do now

Put the phone into bootloader, then flash. Don't worry about activesync right now.

Ok so heres an update. I finally got the .40 unlocker working and reinstalled the original rom, but it said PPST.exe was missing. I tried a hard reset and it still said PPST.exe was missing from \Windows
I tried again to reflash the original rom that I downloaded from the htc website for bell and still got PPST.exe is missing.
I installed 2.31 unlocker and put nsf's wm 6.5 on and everything works fine
But I need to know why PPST isn't working so I can replace the original

ODIN'ed, but S3 won't get past the blinking SAMSUNG logo -- Please help!

I've been on nightly CM10.1's forever, but recently decided to try the unofficial CM-10.2, specifically the 8/3 update. I actually had the original release for a while as well and it was fine. However, as soon as I installed the 8/3 release, my phone started acting up. First of all, I lost root. Second, my Gmail app disappeared. Then, Google Play would open, but never connect to the internet (constant "Retry" button on the screen). So I decided to try the S3 Toolkit to reroot. No luck. ADB could see my phone, but the toolkit would stay waiting for USB debugging to be enabled and not go past that. I read somewhere this is because of a new security feature in 4.2.2. At that point, I figured I'd ODIN back to stock and start over.
I got ODIN 3.07 and the stock AT&T DLK3 ROM. I made sure only Auto-Boot is enabled and I only adding the ROM tar.md5 file through the PDA button. The process takes a few minutes and completes successfully (PASS, 1 successful/0 failed), but when the phone comes up, I get the Galaxy S III logo, then the AT&T splash screen and chime, but it never goes past the blinking SAMSUNG logo. And by never I mean I've even left it overnight and it's in the same place in the morning.
I've tried flashing more than once. I even tried another ROM I got from another thread I can't find right now, all with the same result.
Anything else I can try at this point? The phone is definitely not bricked, since it's on, updates, etc.
Thank you.

HELP! rooting problems

Trying to root my T-Mobile G3. I used purpledrake, it went through the process and said "permaroot worked, all done here. Moving on..." But instead of saying hit enter to restart, like it showed in this video, it says logout and then [Process completed] and my phone is stuck in the screen which shows not to disconnect. What do I do???
Also, it never asked if I want to install TWRP and custom boot like it says in this thread.
Could it have something to do with my phone being 10m and everything I've been seeing was for 10c??
Please help. This is my first time rooting and I really hope I didn't just brick my phone.
BTW, I'm on a Mac. I have win 7 parallels but would prefer a Mac solution if possible.EDIT:
DISASTER AVERTED! Hopefully this helps anyone else who runs into this same problem. I popped the battery out and it restarted fine and is rooted. It's just a weird bug that causes it to freeze at the do not disconnect screen.
