Default Unbrick my Arrive

I have an HTC Arrive and I am hoping someone can help. I have an interesting brick I havn't read anywhere else about. Hoping someone can help me unbrick my phone.

First, how my phone became a brick.

I had DFT's 8107 Rom flashed and used RSPL to flash the DFT Tango rom but WIFI hotspot wasn't working so I decided to flash Ansars tango rom.

I used RSPL to try to flash it but it got to 85% and then gave a connection error. I beleive it was error 262. I followed the on screen directions that had me unplug my phone remove the battery and put the battery back in and reflash. When my phone restarted it went into boot loader mode but it showed SPL and the RUU gave an error again. I figured it was because it was no longer in RSPL. I put it intop RSPL and then into HSPL that time to prevent the error from happening again. I then reflashed the rom this time with no errors. But, after that when my phone restarted it showed the HTC screen and then the Windows Phone screen and then it freezes. It eventually resets itself and does the same thing again. I have tried flashhing multiple roms to try to fix this problem but nothing has worked. I even tried using zune to restore an old backup.

Does anybody have any ideas what could be wrong and what I could do to unbrick my phone. Please help.

did it show the correct spl when you entered boot loader mode? (is. 1.xx instead of 4.xx or 5.xx? You may need to run the spl downgrade again.

In bootloader mode I was able to put hspl on and it shows version 1.25. I ended buying another arrive on ebay. My bricked one had a cracked screen and hinge anyway. I'm still open to suggestions to resurrect it though because if I do then since I will have an extra I can keep one hacked and one stock.

like the one above said - the bootloader can be fault, like only displays the SPL/RSPL/HSPL but not function like it should. i would suggest you to do a gold card downgrade and flash a stock ROM for you HTC Arrive (or is it maybe a 7 pro gsm version?) and then again RSPL/HSPL, and then a custom ROM if you want.

Have you tried to just flash the OSPL 1.29 from the HSPL post, and then try the RSPL/HSPL again? No need to goldcard this phone if you are able to at least flash things.
