unlocker error

Alltel touch pro...will not load .37 unlocker. I get error message 202. Have new version of .net, run xp pro, phone has wm 6.1, am in sync with PC hare rebooted phone and PC, box under activesync is not checked. have read this and ppcgeeks forums for hours no magic bullet found. tried the manual version of unlocker and when I hit run - a windows error message comes up and stops the program. Any suggestions? (as a note, I have just posted a similar question on ppcgeeks)

Thanks...

whoooo! hoooo! I am getting closer. Now I have the tri-color screen....guess i will spend the nexr 5 hours figuring this one out, but I am getting closer.

The Problem was that my active sync was set up to synce with an exchange server. While I deleted that part from my phone, I did not reset it on my computer. So I just deleted the phone and set it back up without using the exchange server. Tried running the .37 again and got the aforementioned screen....now to fix this!!!!!

I think I killed my touch pro

I thought I finally flashed my device but after it was done loading and the wrapper rebooted my device, the TouchPro logo appeared but the phone goes off after that. I held down the volume button and power button but now my phone just keeps going off and on by itself

You seem to have a bad flash. Just flash back to stock and try again.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I flashed my Alltel touch pro for the first time (after months of being very reluctant) and Mighty Rom 4.16 is awesome!:D

Error 264? (It could also be 246, and one occasion I got 202 I believe) It says that my device is not responding and that I should check to make sure it is connected and synced, which it is. Any idea why this is happening when I try to run the HardSPL for my Sprint Touch Pro?
[Touch Pro CDMA] psouza4:
I'm getting the same issues under Win XP Pro (x86/32-bit) with an unlocked Verizon HTC Touch Pro on stock ROM.

Method 1: If I try to use RUU via ActiveSync, as soon as the red/green/blue recovery screen appears, the device disconnects and reconnects from my system, and the RUU eventually times out trying to reach the device with error 260 ("CONNECTION"). Meanwhile, the device sits at a "Loading..." screen forever. Out of six or so attempts using this method, the progress bar on the device came up as 0% one time, but never moved.

Method 2: If I launch the RGB screen manually (power+vol+reset), connect the USB, and then run the RUU, then I get error 264 ("CONNECTION").

Method 3: If I copy RUU_Signed.nbh to the root of my storage card and rename it to RAPHIMG.nbh, then disconnect from my PC and launch the restore screen (RGB), it sits at a "Loading..." screen for forever. I let it sit there for about 10 minutes and it never did anything. Do I need to wait longer?

I can restart and get back into my existing installation regardless -- so nothing's being updated. Not sure what I can do to get this on my device.
[Touch Pro CDMA] psouza4:
Okay, I think I got what's going on here.

First of all, this thread seems to be a repost of the information here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503

Except that the thread at this forum is missing some files. For Verizon users, you're missing the 0.35 SPL unlock. I ran the one here:

http://fluffyphones.com/how-to-windows-mobile/unlock-verizon-htc-touch-pro-hard-spl/

And that unlocked it for me. On to the ROM flashing... (which actually started this time! And then promptly died at 10% with an ERROR 262 using the rom here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=509544 -- GRRRR).

@psouza,

Ummm, I thought that the fact that I wrote this

"I found most of this information in ppcgeeks.com, so feel free to lurk around that forum as well since it is packed with useful information."

and this

"Again, all this information can be found in www.ppcgeeks.com (original thread here). I just wanted to make it available to people at this site. Thanks to cmonex and the full CDMA Raphael Elite Team!"

and then this

"As I stated in my previous post, most of the development for this phone is being done at PPCGeeks, and since posting every Rom thread in here would be time consuming (and possibly useless), I am giving you this link to all the custom ROMS."

and finally this

"Here are some tips and tweaks that I found over at PPCGeek (Original thread) Thanks Baffles!!"

would have made it clear enough that this information was taken from another site. There was really no need to mention this. Besides a lot of people are not aware that there is a lot of development for Herman devices at ppcgeeks. Most people with an HTC device will come in here (xda-devs) first if they have questions.

Ok, this one I will give you. I tried on multiple occasions to upload the Verizon unlocker to this thread, but the system keeps on refusing it again and again (main reason why I had a link to the original site). I will make a note on that post about this.

More than likely you had a battery with less than 50% charge. Just charge your device, flash back with a stock rom, and then give the custom rom another go. Good luck and please read the thread next time!

I bricked my phone...

I tried to flash the EnergyRom3.0 Phoenix and after the installation the phone won’t turn on again. I just get the black screen that says TOUCH PRO and then the phone turns off and tries to restart. I have Sprint. Is there a solution for this problem?
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
Did you use the GSM version of the rom?

Anyways, you should be able to flash back to stock and everything should be back to normal.
[Touch Pro CDMA] IkeCorleone:
i read your walk through and found it to be very organized. you seem to really know what your talking about. with that being said, ok im a complete noob here! so lets take this nice and s l o w. i have flashed my old phone (htc orig. touch cdma) from htc's website. so let me ask a dumb question, is it just like that process with just an added step of unlocking it? also after i unlock my phone will it start up as usual? or will i have to be required to flash a new rom? thanking you in advance.
[Touch Pro CDMA] jrodizzkool01:
Yes, when you unlock your phone, the stock rom still works perfectly fine. This is great if you want to unlock your phone then spend some time looking for a rom because your phone works exactly the same as before you unlocked it
[Touch Pro CDMA] IkeCorleone:
thank you again
[Touch Pro CDMA] IkeCorleone:
i tried to run the hardspl program and it says athenawrapper has stopped working. im on vista can anyone help me?
[Touch Pro CDMA] rosewood:
My Touch Pro just came today to replace my ol Mogul. Thank you for getting all this information together! But I have a silly question ...

When I am in Bootloader mode (Down volume, power, soft reset) ActiveSync doesn't see the device as being valid and won't connect.

However, at least on NFSFAN's rom, the RUU sends me into boot loader mode and it seemed to go just fine. Am I missing something here?
[Touch Pro CDMA] jrodizzkool01:
Just though that this would be helpful

STOCK ROM LINKS

In case anyone is scared to flash to a different rom because they are afraid that they wont be able to get back to their original rom, here are the links to the stock roms. These are flashable just like any other rom (copied from ppc geeks):

Sorry for the ridic noob Q, but wanted to make certain before I made the financial regret on the purchase...

Say I get an Alltel HTC Touch pro and I need it on my Sprint network... just run through the steps and call sprint to activate the new phone when needed?

Would there be any issues with bad ESN's, etc?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
If the phone is reported lost/stolen, then the ESN might be black-listed in which case, you will not be able to flash to another company. As far as going from company to company, you might have to have the phone flashed over to whichever company you are going to regardless of whether your phone is unlocked or not. This is not like GSM phones where you can unlock and will work for every carrier. CDMA phones have to be flashed by the carriers. Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
ActiveSync will not see a device in bootloader mode. The computer just recognizes the device as a USB device and that is it. The updater does come with an app that will send your phone straight to bootloader. To answer your question, once your computer recognizes the device, you will be good to go... do not wait for AS to recognize it 'cause it won't.

Good luck!

Hard SPL Question

I have a Sprint Touch PRO. Sprint provided me with an unlock code ##543015# if I use this is there still a need to use the HARD SPL if flashing from SD Card?

Thanks for input!
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
If I am not mistaken, that is the MSL code for your device. This has nothing to do with the locking/unlocking of your device. Although, you may want to keep it handy as this number will allow you to do a bunch of different things to your phone such as requesting pings from the tower more often, be able to fix your own internet connection (since Sprint customer service seems to have no idea how to do this), among a bunch of other things.

Hopefully this answered your questions...
[Touch Pro CDMA] a2612596:
Thanks for the input, yes you've answered my questions. However now I have a question in regards to the internet! If you do not mind, please provide a link. I've been contentn with strock ROM. However 10 months I'm ready to for something new. Had a Hermes & flashed all the, this seems like same deal more or less. You've stoked my interest with the code & what can be donene with it.it. Thanks!Thanks!

Need a little advice...

I am relatively new and I should be receiving my Sprint HTC Touch Pro in a few days. I have owned a Diamond and I didn't get a chance to flash it or anything! When I get my Pro, the first thing I would like to do is flash it. I see from the instructions that I need to make back-ups of everything form my phone before I flash. I was able to save everything I had from Diamond to my computer. Is there a way I can save my contacts as well? And when I successfully flash my first cooked rom what do I do next if I want to switch to another cooked rom. Do I delete the cooked rom I placed on the Pro or what? Does the sprint touch pro come with Windows 6.5? And if not how do I go about getting it? That would save me the trouble of going up to sprint to have them change out my numbers again.

Cant wait to flash for the first time!

Is it true that ROMS also increase battery life? If so, that would be great.
[Touch Pro CDMA] jrodizzkool01:
To backup your contacts, there are two ways that i would reccommend. 1st, connect your phone to your computer using the active sync mode and sync your contacts to outlook. If you cannot do that because you have a mac or something, i suggest that you use spb backup http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en . The trial gives you the ability to make up to 5 backups of just about anything on your phone (contacts, my documents folder) and it is very easy to set up. Once you flash your first ROM and decide on flashing another, there is no need to do anything as far as deleting the rom because when ypu flash your phone, the ROM automatically gets replaced with the new one. The sprint touch pro (actually no touch pro I know of) comes with windows mobile 6.5 automatically installed BUT you can download a wm6.5 rom over at ppcgeeks http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=68 and sprint is expected to have a 6.5 upgrade as soon as microsoft officially releases a 6.5 rom. As far as roms increasing battery life, this is possible. I find that if i find a stripped wm6.1 rom (stripped means nothign on it and i install whatever i want) i get excellent battery life. If you are serious about getting great (or somewhat acceptable) battery life out of your touch pro, i suggest that when youre flashing a couple of roms, also look to flashing some radios http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74422 .

I think that answers all of your questions but if you have anymore or need me to explain something, pm me
[Touch Pro CDMA] sky2009:
Thank you so much for the info man. I still have my Diamond and I am waiting on the Pro to arrive so I can send the Diamond back. Thanks again and I will keep you posted when I actually start flashing. Im scared, lol.
[Touch Pro CDMA] sky2009:
Still having problems....

ActiceSync and Outlook are giving me a terrible time. I try to use Outlook but it needs an instant search update. Everytime that I try to update something happens and it cannot be completed when installing! I guess I will try your other method because my Pro should be here today.
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
What do you mean? Why are you using Outlook and what kind of "instant search update" are you talking about?
[Touch Pro CDMA] sky2009:
Oh! Because I didn't know exactly how to back up my contacts. Once I get my Pro FRIDAY (hopefully) I will have to send my Diamond back. I need a way to save my contacts for my new Pro. Plus I want to start cooking as well.

Is there an easier way I can back my contacts up on the computer. Or when active sync is opened I see that it has contacts and calender but it has an error message saying that it did not sync with outlook because of a reason.
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
You could try PIM Backup. Its free, easy to use, and will back everything that you want it to back up in a matter of minutes. I used it when my wife had hers and it works like a charm! Then, you can install it in your TP and import the saved data file. Good luck!
[Touch Pro CDMA] sky2009:
Great! Do you know where I can obtain PIM from?
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
I do not know the site, but if you Google it, it will come up. Good luck!
[Touch Pro CDMA] fredcatsmommy:
do a search for pim backup v2.8; that's the most recent version.
[Touch Pro CDMA] sky2009:
Thanks so much guys! I have a PIM backup on my desktop right now. STILL waiting on my Pro to arrive. Does anyone know, when I flash a cooked rom will it automatically update my WinMo to 6.5 or do I need to find that as well? Can't wait to splurge into the world of my Pro!
[Touch Pro CDMA] jrodizzkool01:
you have to choose a rom with wm6.5 on it. the roms come in 6.1 and 6.5 and if youre flashing for the first time, i would suggest that you first use a 6.1 rom because they are the most stable and when you get used to flashing, check out a 6.5 one. dont even bother with xda for roms because as far as cdma touch pro roms, this site has like 2

[Touch Pro CDMA] Scyberian:
Hello, first-time flasher here. I'm trying to flash to a cooked ROM, and having NO luck whatsoever. I downloaded and used the unlocker, but when I get to step 3 in your process, my Sprint TP continually tries to flash to the unlocker instead of the ROM. (I get 0.37 for my new ROM, continually, no matter what I do.)I've tried USB and MicroSD, to no avail. HELP!
[Touch Pro CDMA] sky2009:
Dilemma

Well, thanks to the idiots at Sprint I have to wait another 3 to 5 days for the phone because the rep that ordered for me didnt realize that he had to order it at full price in order for it to be shipped. He tried to get it shipped to me for a low price and then my credits from my would have been returned Diamond and my acct would have kicked in. Im stuck with the Diamond until Thurs or Friday now. I may go try to cook my Diamond. Anyone know how to easily lock the phone back so I can send it back later? And I also would love to know if there will be a way that I could trade my new Touch Pro coming for a Touch Pro 2 when Sprint releases it?
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
Make sure that you have a full battery before starting the process (or at least 50% full).
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
I am not following your problem. Can you attach a screen cap of your problem?
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
You may want to check on the Diamond forums to see if anyone has an unlocker (I don't have one, so I am not much help in that area). As far as upgrading your device, they will let you get one if the Touch Pro is defective (which it might end up being) and use the credit of one towards the other. Talk to Sprint and find out...
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scyberian:
Okay, I downloaded everything I need, and grouped it according to your instructions. When I go to flash the new ROM, there is nothing listed for current image, and the image it flashes to always comes up 0.37, same as for the unlocker. Could this be due to the fact that I'm using the same .nbh file as the unlocker?
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
Have you gone through a full flash or are you simply stopping at the point where it gives you the version numbers? Because if you are, you shouldn't worry about these version numbers.

Just make sure that you put the nbh file that you will get from the rom with the RUU provided in Step 3 (that is if the rom doesn't come with it already).
[Touch Pro CDMA] sky2009:
Success!

I successfully unlocked AND flashed Juicy's 8 rom which is VERY nice.

However, I am saddened because now my data connection does not work. I cannot check weather, updates, youtube, internet, anything. Someone help!
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
There are a bunch of things that could be happening, but I believe that there was a program called Profiles (or something like that) which will allow you to get your internet connection back. There is a ton of information on this issue all over the place. Just do a Google search and you will be in good shape.
[Touch Pro CDMA] sky2009:
You were right thunder! I downloaded the profile cap and after messing around with it a bit (turning airplane mode on and off) I got the data connection to work. FLASH SUCCESSFUL! Juicy's ROM is outstanding. I dont know if I want to flash to anything else. Oh yeah! On Throttle Lock is it possible for you to make me some Akuma icons. The Japanese one that means "heaven" from street fighter?
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
I have stopped doing the Throttlelock (or any icons) since it takes me a tremendous amount of time, which I do not have. I even thought about making a bacon skin, but again... not enough time.

Glad the suggestion for the profile worked. You will have to run that every time you change to a different rom, so keep it handy ;)

Good luck!
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scyberian:
Both ROMs I downloaded were in Acrobat format, and I couldn't open them with Reader, so where do I find the .NBH file that comes with the ROM? I tried NFSFAN's and ptfdmedic's Midnight singularity ROM, both 6.5 builds. I have Sprint as my carrier, so the Singularity ROM will work. Also, will I have to relock my phone, and/or contact Sprint customer care for the "Lock Code" to program my MDN and MSID?

Need Help: Happy to Donate

I wasn't holding down the Power button while trying to access the Bootloader. Silly me :)

XDA Gurus,

I have long been a supporter of this site and have flashed countless devices with untold numbers of ROMS for the last 3 years. I have finally hit a wall that I can't find an answer to on these forums regardless of how hard I search.

During an ActiveSync upgrade to a WinMo 6.5 Cooked rom on my Sprint Touch Pro, the power at my house went out due to lightining, and the Rom didn't install correctly. Now the phone will not boot or even enter the bootloader (which is my usual fail-safe for failed ROMS). Does this mean that my phone is now bricked or is there soemthing I can do to get this thing going again? I have tried the VOL Down+Reset and still can't enter the bootloader.

I had successfully installed the Hard SSPL .37 and was able to boot and connect to activesync again after that. I was also able to initiate the Cooked Rom install after that, but ever since the upgrade failed I can't get past the initial load screen.

PLEASE?! Any thoughts?!

-Melanie
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scyberian:
Please disregard my earlier post. In your tutorial, you neglect to mention the need for WinRAR or WinZip, and so I was continually attempting to use the Windows Vista File extractor, which would turn the ROM into a meaningless pile of unreadable rubble with the Adobe Acrobat symbol on it. Could you please add the note about WinRAR or WinZip, to aid other first-timers?
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
Done. I did not believe this would be necessary, but...

[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
You could try to look for something at PPCGeeks. They have far more support for the Herman than XDA at this point. As far as I know, the only one variant of the Herman is for Verizon, which is the reason why it has its own unlocker. You have to determine if the model is the same as the one from Sprint. You can always try the manual unlocker and maybe that will work. Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
You should definitely unlock it before flashing anything on it. And yes you can always flash back to stock and relock the device. As far as the Radio and GPS, they should become available after flashing. Good luck.

Hey iam new to the htc phones and i was wondering

if you could tell me how i will found out if i have a cdma version or not?

Dont really know.
[Touch Pro CDMA] dribbs1:
I have dl'ed the .37 and extracted it to a subfolder within the "My Documents" folder. I run the .exe and the RUU starts, but when it actually starts trying to update the ROM, it says that it can't see the device - however I can clearly see that there is an active Activesync connection. What am I doing wrong?
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
If your device has a SIM card, then it is GSM. A SIM card (if you do not know what that is) is a small chip that goes in the phone to make it work. Google it if you want to know what it looks like.
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
Put your deivce in bootloader mode before running the RUU tool. You do not need AS to be active. Good luck!
[Touch Pro CDMA] JB_:
Well yeah it uses a sim card :) But what is cdma then ?

I will try this out now hope it will work :)
