What is your phone model and what exactly are you trying to do?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You don't need to HardSPL if you're just going to flash an official ROM, but once you have put on the HardSPL you can flash both cooked ROMs and official ROMs. So you may as well HardSPL then you've got the choice of whatever ROM you like, official or cooked. The only time you will need to undo the HardSPL is if you ever have to return the phone for warranty purposes.

Hope that helps.

data corrupted

I tried the hardSPL_V2_003R.exe on my TMo RHODIUM100.

In the Auto mode I'm getting this message: "Data corrupted, please contact us for help or try again later (in 1 hours time).

The phone has not been modded, all software is original, no SIM card or microHD in the device.

Any advice?

I think it's your PC foult. Which system do you use do you have latest Sync drivers?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingsham:
for some reason wmdc says my device is connected but when i run hard spl...it says check connection and try again...wat do i do?

Where did you get the 6.5 ROM for your phone that you're trying to apply ? And how are you trying to do it ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] AxlR:
If it is cooked Rom you must to instal HardSPL first.

Flashing via ActiveSync with USB Lead (thanks to OliNex)

4. Run Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe on PC, make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.). XP requires Admin logon and Vista/Windows 7 will automatically prompt to allow it to run in Admin mode, allow it. If you get an AntiVirus warning please ignore it, it contains no harmful code (just used a packer to compress it)

If you cant trust the people who have brought HardSPL and the ability for custom roms on hundreds of thousands of phones over the years who can you trust?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tofferbear:
I had this same issue yesterday...I never got an answer as to what was causing it, but when I got the message I was attempting to install HardSPL from within my work's network...which has some hardcore firewall protection. I tried later from home which has a much less secure network and it worked right away. Hope that's in someway helpful. :)

Am I the only person without WM 6.5?

I have searched and searched. I have googled and almost sold my soul. How is it everyone has Windows Mobile 6.5 and discussing 6.5.1 and I can't even get 6.5? Sorry about the breakdown. Humbly I beg... how do I download 6.5, at least?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lufc:
wrong post sorry
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Merged with mskip's thread.

There are two options.

1) Check if your carrier (or HTC in your country if your device is unbranded) has an official update.

2) Read through this guide, and when required to download a ROM pick a 6.5 or 6.5.1 ROM. NRG's Photon series offers both IIRC.

i got the rom from this website....i was trying to upgrade my 6.1 to 6.5 but it keep telling me it couldn't let me...is there a certain one im suppose to put on my phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Is it a "cooked" ROM (i.e. one made by the chefs here) as opposed to an official ROM ?

If it's a cooked ROM then you'll need to make sure you have HardSPL on your phone first. If it's an official ROM then it'll only let you flash the ROM specific to your phone/carrier unless you've got HardSPL on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] js0uth:
ok in need of some help here guys.

extra extra noob here. im having a hard time gettin hardspl to connect i get the message " Fatak error. please make sure the device is properly synced; please retry after syncing the device (via activsync or windows mobile device center)" which i think i have it synced properly with wmdc cuz it says connected.

so a lil help would be awsome. i just need to get pass this point and ill be on my way. thanks in advance.

my phone switchs off when i try n do the hardSPL thingy

my phone switchs off when i try n do the hardSPL thingy.

1. my phone syncs via WMDC

2. i run the Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe

3. then my phone turns off when it gets to the welcome to the rom update utility.

this happens everytime. um i take the battery out then turn the tp2 back on then re sync then continue then the phone turns off again when it starts the flashing and i get a connection error screen o.O.

edit: um lol i read about the SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe but got this "Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator" if some1 got a new link that would b kool :).

sorry if the fix seems easy i'm kinda a noob at this.

WM 6.5

Hi all!

I have a quick one..

can i put the wm 6.5 uk version to my dutch pro 2 and made an english windows on it like this or not?

thanks !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Out of the box, you won't be able to put an official UK ROM onto your Dutch Pro2, I imagine, since the installation routine will say it's not the right type of phone.

But if you HardSPL your phone (as in this thread) then you will be able to put whatever ROM you like onto your phone, either an official one or one of the cooked ones from this forum.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
If you have gone from a WM6.1 rom to a WM6.5 rom then maybe your radio isnt compatable with the 6.5 rom. Yo ucan either download and flash a 6.5 radio from the rom development forum or look for a rom with the radio included. The radio is a seperate part that handles all the communication side such as sound, gps, camera.

Just to make 100% certain that you are flashing the correct rom in future download it from xda :p

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SypheRrr:
Hi,

I've bought my touch pro 2 about 2 months ago and I've tested some software,games and put the new WM 6.5 original rom and this is my only experience with the phone. I'm thinking of changing the ROM but i need some info first, so i don't brick the phone.

I found a lot of info about Hard SPL and very detailed instructions how to install it, but i still don't get why i need it. I have free unlocked phone. Does this means that i can put any rom i want or i need the hard spl? What is CDMA? I found it as definition but i still don't get it :confused:

I would be really thankful if someone can help me figuring out these things. Because i want to change my ROM with a faster one ( which i would like you also to recommend).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Yes, you still need to HardSPL your phone. Otherwise you will be limited to the official ROMS designed for your phone/carrier. Once you HardSPL, you will be able to flash whatever ROMs you like, cooked ones from this forum, or official ones too.

CDMA is one method used by your phone to communicate with the base stations etc. GSM is the main other one. If you've got a GSM phone then you need to flash a GSM ROM, if it's a CDMA phone you need a CDMA ROM. If you flash the wrong type it won't work. What country are you in and which carrier do you use ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SypheRrr:
I'm in Bulgaria and we use GSM. Thanks for the answers, now I get the point :)

Thank You very much! My first flash is succesfull!

If I HardSPL my TMob TP2, will that prevent me from being able to reset the phone to factory settings via a hard reset? I plan on selling this phone when TMob releases the HD2.

Thanks, this is a great thread... looking forward to diving in and learning a whole bunch of new stuff.

Also a side question: I see a lot of tweaks to the "radio" for phones... Does the radio have any other function other than being a radio tuner (ie wifi control/quality maybe)? I don't ever listen to the radio, so I'm just wondering if that is something that I need to research.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
If you hard reset after HardSPL then you'll still have HardSPL on there and any cooked ROM that you may have flashed. If you do want to go back to the stock ROM etc then you can do that, you can re-flash a stock ROM, and then undo the HardSPL and lock the phone if necessary - there are instructions for that in the HardSPL thread.

The radio handles all functions for external communication, so that includes all the GSM functions etc, e.g. possibly getting better reception.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
HardSPL allows you to flash stock roms from other carriers and custom roms that are put together by chefs on here or other sites. It does not affect your ability to hard reset as a hard reset simply resets all settings on the rom that you have loaded on your phone whether its a stock rom or a custom rom. You do not have to flash back a stock SPL if you sell your phone on as it doesnt interefere with anything and its probably best to leave it on unless you are sending it back under warantee.

As said before the radio handles all communication functions on the phone. This includes sound, camera, gps, bluetooth wifi and signal. Different radios work better in different locations and with different carriers. The radio is not a radio tuner (but it may well handle that function on your phone).

If all your communication functions work fine then you dont have to worry about flashing a different radio.

Hi everybody, as u see, i'm very new to this forum. I've bought an htc touch pro 2 yesterday and today i decided to play a little bit with its firmware.

Have the same problem as mar969:

I downloaded SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe and wanted to flash in manual mode, but the phone turned off as i ran SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe so that i had to do a soft reset, and then the same error message came.

Tell me somebody what could be the problem pleeease :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Did the phone actually turn off or did the screen just go black? Its supposed to go black just carry on and follow the steps in the program.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] techluvr:
When I tried to flash HardSPL, I found that I had to use both USB fixes. So I installed both but I still get an error. What should I try? I really want to flash a ROM but I can't :(

EDIT: I installed the CAB and the EXE. I used the EXE to enter SSPL but it gave me a USB error (again).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Djablos:
No, it really turns off. I wait till the program shows me an error and then the only way to make the phone work is soft reset.

Btw, techluvr seems to have the same problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Yuvan:
I have the same issue as member "Djablos" above me...except I have not tried the Manual Flash...just Auto Flash

After step 6...the phone goes completely black, and probably off too, as none of the buttons work, including the Power button on the phone. I have to remove the battery and stick it back in for the phone to boot up again.

Note: WMDC says "Not Connected" after step 6, but it says connected before step 6. Also, although the device isn't listed in my computer nor WMDC, it is listed as an Unspecified device under "Devices and Printers" in Win 7 RC. When I unplug the USB cable, only then the device disappears from "Device and Printers".
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Djablos:
Hmm, what i just noticed is following: when i connect the phone it shows up in device manager like this:

But when i start the rom utility and the phone goes off, i see this device (instead of upper one)

Does it mean that i should use this manual?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SypheRrr:
Guys, i have a question. I bought TP2 2 months ago, and now I think i've gathered enough courage and info to do Hard SPL and eventualy another ROM and when I went to bootlader i saw:

Rhod 100 32M SS-BC

SPL-0.85.OliNex

MicroP(LED) 0x0A

MicroP(KEY) 0x04

Turbo HW/Turbo SW

TP MFG DATA

500,526 800,845

799,211 211,209

213, 843 Calibated

I never performed a Hard SPL but what i suppose the above means is that someone before me has done it. My phone is bought online and the package is in Italian. When I enter the s/n in the HTC site it gives me an Italian version of the ROM to download. So does it mean this phone is bought in Italy (possibly through carrier because of the discounts) Then unlocked and hard SPL-ed and then reselled to me? This is common in our country, sadly...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zelendel:
From the info you provided yes it is SPL'ed and it would seem to be an Italian phone

Flashing HARDSPL license request

Hi, I just bought to 2 tmobile htc touch pro 2 from tmobile this week. 1 for me and 1 for my brother. They arrived yesterday and I've been doing alot of reading and was able to successfully hardspl and upgrade to windows 6.5 my touch pro 2. Plus after that I flashed a new rom on easily.

Now I want to do it for my brothers touch pro 2 also. But whenever I try to run HardSpl is tells me that it is not intended for commercial use. Only Private.

Can you grant me 1 more additional license/use so I can hardspl my brothers touch pro 2 also.

Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] techluvr:
Any word on fixing this issue?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
You need to pm cmonex on the original HardSPL thread for an extra license. The link is in the first post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kmx:
I did that about 8 hours ago. He hasn't logged in all day. I've been waiting up all night just incase he sends me the license because my brother really wants a new rom and we can't do that unless I hardspl his touch pro 2. Unfortunately I'm the only 1 with the laptop/software right now so thats why I am asking for another license so that I can flash his also. Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
cmonex is female :rolleyes:

Unfortunately shes usually very busy and the only one who can grant extra licenses so im afraid you will have to be patient and wait til she contacts you. Or try to get on another computer to HardSPL your brothers phone if you cant wait.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kmx:
Sorry I could not tell if it was a girl or guy by looking at her profile. I just hope she manages to pull through with the license today. It's 5:30am and I'm gonna go to sleep. Hopefully when I wake up there will be a nice private message in my inbox. Good Night xda-developers ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Djablos:
Nobody cares as i see :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Just be patient remember you arent paying for her services and she probably gets hundreds of emails every day so she isnt under any obligation to get straight back to you but you should hear from her within a few days. If you can get on another pc then you dont even need to ask for another license.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Sorry noone else has got back to you. I dont own one of these devices and have never heard of the phone turning off so I couldnt really put shed any light on your problem. If you are following every step to the letter, have a full battery when you go through the steps and have also tried the manual method then the only thing I can sugest is to ask in the HardSPL thread (link in the first post) or wait for Dave Shaw to read the thread as he owns the device and is alot more knowledgable than myself.

Do you have NetCF3.5 installed on your phone?

Flash Problem

I was flashing my ROM update, and it completed but it seems that my phone got stuck and now it won't boot anything. It is not recognized by my computer and I cant seem to get connected to active sync to try to reflash. I've searched all through the forums for a possible solution but I haven't found one.

Am I screwed, or is there a work-around to fix my phone/get it to boot?? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Do you have HardSPL on it or can you get it into bootloader mode?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kmx:
Well I just couldn't wait for them to respond to my hardspl license request.

cmonex recommended I file a support ticket at http://support.htc-unlocks.com but after waiting hours and hours I just couldn't wait anymore especially since I am leaving town and not going to see my brother until maybe Christmas time.

So I just made the donation to instantly have the program grant my additional use. Wow 3 Euros is $5.07 American Money. The conversion on paypal came out to $1 American equals 0.59cents Euro something like that. Ouch.

Anyways I hardspl'ed his phone. Upgrade to windows mobile 6.5 via the european rom. Then as soon as the was finished I flashed NRGZ28's Energy rom on it, and Bam were good to go. He's sleeping right now and it's 5:15am. So this will be a nice present to wake up too. I uploaded a bunch of apps and did all the customizations so he's good to go. He's been waiting all weekend and finally everything is paying off.

I am am so happy this is a big forum full of modders who happily share their work with others and we can all get along. Thanks to everybody at xda-developers.com who continue to make our phones much better than the average consumer thinks it is:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mardibob:
My phone has HardSPL and I can see the 'tri color boot screen' after a hard reset which I'm assuming is the boot loader mode. When I hard reset it loads the tri-color screen and tries to restore my phone. I read somewhere that I can somehow reflash a new rom but nowhere did anyone explain how too????
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Djablos:
Yes, i really followed every instruction you gave, my battery is fully charged and i also tried the manual method.

I have no idea what NetCF3.5 is, should i have installed this package?

Maybe you want to share with us your secret of success? :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] techluvr:
OK... I spontaneously wanted to try again. So, I installed the enablerapinew CAB and tried again. It worked. I don't know why, but it worked. So, install that CAB and use Automatic mode.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Djablos:
Ok, enablerapinew.cab is installed at my phone either. Without this cab i get following two errors:
