How can I flash my HTC Touch GSM if phone won't fully load?

[thouchee]

Hi,

I know others have this problem. My phone starts, gets through loading almost all the way, but before I can do anything, it shuts down and starts all over again. It just keeps starting, loading, shutting down, over and over again.

The only way to stop it is to remove the battery. The hard reset instructions in my manual do not work. Hold the red and green keys and press soft reset. Can I somehow interrupt the load up or get into some kind of menu or flash the phone? I cannot sync with the phone since it doesn't stay on long enough before restarting again.

Thanks

Try to enter the bootloader screen (tri-color screen). If you can do that without it looping on you, you can flash from there.

Follow these (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_Resets) instructions to enter your bootloader screen.
