As long as you have HardSPL on your phone then everything should be fine you just need to reflash a new Rom.

Taken from the first post (make sure you phone has at least 50% battery before attempting this):

Flashing a Rom Via MicroSD Card

1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)

2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC

3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh

4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card

5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone

6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top

7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update

8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

I have a problem

trying to HARDspl my Tilt 2

i tried the automatic and it sais i was not connected via usb but I am I can browse the files etc.

So I coped the manual file to the tilt2 and ran it but it seems it won't run the screen doesn't turn black like it says.and tried manual mode

so i reboot and try again and run the file again no black screen but when i run the manual Hardspl setup in windows in goes to the progress screen on the computer and the device but never moves past 0%

I just unlocked 2 t-mobile touch pro 2 just last week with no problems and othe phones in the past

thanks for any help

dumb question

my phone still has 6.1 how do i upgrade to 6.5 so i can use the roms that are posted thanx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kmx:
First you must Hard Spl your phone.

Read this page carefully.

Then download this if you are on tmobile.

http://htcpedia.com/ruu_rhodium_s_htc_europe_wm65/soft/htc-rhodium-rom.html?page=1

It upgrades your phone to windows 6.5.

Then you can download any windows 6.5 roms that the local chefs cook up.

Tilt 2

Hey all, just got my Tilt 2 today (ATT) and had errors (USB Connectivity) with the auto and manual HSPL, the install of the enablerapinew.cab did in fact work perfectly. You can install that cab and run auto hspl without reset, this should be added to the instructions in this thread, it took some digging before I found the resolution (Thanks Djablos and RacerX10).

Just finished flashing radio, flashing new ROM now :)!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] techhi:
I tried enablerapinew.cab and it won't work on the Tilt 2

tried everything

tried putting it in a few places on my phone and SSPL-manual does nothing no black screen

sent $5 to see if that will help

I hate using stock roms need my fix

thank you so much for the link i couldnt find a real one anywhere thanx again! i know what i will be doing tonite lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ledfortr:
Here is how I got it to work on mine,

1. Remove SIM and MSSD

2. hard reset

3. copy enablerpinew.cab to /my documents

4. run enablerpinew.cab

5. run HSPL automatic, worked from there

I don't know why it was tough to put the HSPL on, I've never had problems with my other phones, I'd be interested to see if other ATT folks that just got their phones are having problems as well.

What happens when you try to run the enablerpinew? Error, nothing?

I am basically a noobe so im trying to get as much info as possible before doing this, as well as flashing my first rom....

Mskip, thanks for setting this thread up!

I've got a couple first-timer questions I'm hoping you'll be able to answer. I've got a brand new TMobile Touch Pro 2

1) Before I attempt to flash my first rom, do I need to have the SIM card unlocked by tmobile?

2) Do I need to install the hotfixes from this thread before I start the hardspl / rom flashing process?

Thank!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Yes it'll be fine.

First install the Hard SPL, then find and Install a ROM.

1) nope.

2) nope.

HTH ;)

Hi Guys,

Just want to say thank you to all who worked on both the write up and the hardspl.

I have an issue which I hope people can help me on.

after following all of this I am trying to use microsoft MyPhone and Also Microsoft Facebook app.

when trying to login facebook using the microsoft app it says that I need to check my connection.

when trying to sync my phone with MyPhone u get unable to connect to My Phone Service.

Both apps were working fine before the HardSpl.....:confused::confused:

has anyone had this issue and resolved it...or am I the lucky one :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cal-El:
I was having this issue as well! Is your phone saying you are connected? And are you trying to sign i for the first time? I noticed that I would try to sign in and it would connect to my data then nothing, so I would cancel back to the ID password screen and click sign in again and then it would work! This may work for you! :)

htc ROM on T-Mobile TP2?

I am moving from AT&T and buying a TP2 on T-Mobile. After HardSPL, can a stock HTC ROM be flashed on a TMobile version of the TP2? I did this with my Fuze with no issues but I want to make sure I can do it with a TMobile phone. Don't want to lose 3G etc... Thanks

Question

Step 3. NEW: Internet access is required as the program checks online for updates and license.

---Question: Exactly what does it do? updates what?? and license for??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tarroyo:
This seems very risky! Step 2 says your phone must not be in airplane/flight mode, U never know when your going to get a call YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF FLASHING AND A PHONECALL COMES IN! THIS METHOD MAKES BRICKING YOUR PHONE WAY TOO EASY
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Actually theres no risk at all as soon as your phone enters Bootloader BEFORE flashing it effectively disables the phone and makes it impossible for a call or anything else to come through while the HardSPL is being flashed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
It checks that the HardSPL you are running is the latest one and also checks that you have a licence (free to get) for flashing HardSPL.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sjwk:
I'm new to WM in general and flashing in particular so I like to read up on all of the technical bits first so forgive me if I'm being dense...

Isn't the point of the UC setup that it *will* get run after flashing in order to do your customisation? Or does that stage happen after you re-insert the card and restart the phone after it has 'gone through the customisation procedure'?

Or is this a case of start simply and work up from there, and I'm just getting ahead of myself?

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] loueber:
ok i think it worked for me... it shows the info in bootloader mode..

also made a donation..

my question now is, where are all the roms? it seems that in the rom thread.. there really isnt anything finished...

for now i read someone asked if flashing a us tmobile tp2 with a standard htc rom would work and let us use or 3g.. but... where do i find it?

again, forgive me i am a noobe....i did read through all the roms in that thread and maybe i missed it..

again i want to get rid of my tm us rom for a standard htc rom that will work in my 3g bands....i figure the HTC rom will be better then tmos rom... would you agree?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
If you read the note at the beginning of my Rom flashing section then it says to check your chosen Roms Thread for any specific installation instructions. Most chefs include all the setup and programs in the Rom. I dont know many that still use UC but if they do then you should follow their flashing instructions. If no specific instructions are given or the Rom download doesnt include a UC folder for the storage card then you can safely remove the MicroSD Card and flash using my guide.

Hope that clears up your question.

I have problems running hard spl...

Hi @ all,

until now I never had any problems in running hardspl or other tools, but now my t-mobile branded HTC makes problems:

system is equipped with t-mobile 6.5

I want to change it to HTC 6.5.

I followed the instructins to hard spl:

- USB connection: ok

- all content of the phone is accessible: ok

- battery charged >50%: 90% -> ok

- Host system is windows 7, Windows Mobile is 6.1, no other application is running

- I start Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.

- first try: automatic -> preparing to flash... -> fatal error (message about non-commercial usage is displayed...)

- second try: manual: HardSPL recognizes current version (1.85.111.1) and offers update -> update to 0,85.OliNex -> ERROR [246]: Device not responding...

What am I doing wrong?

regards

sealpin

Update: I did find enablerpinew.cab but this did not solve anything.

Ok I just got this phone(TP2 Tmobile USA) yesterday and plan on upgrading this to the latest Timor. From what I've read so far this is what I need to do.

1. I need to flash HardSPL.

2. Flash the radio

3. Flash to Timor Rom.

Is this correct?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
HardSPL, Rom, Radio (if required).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thaddyusmaximus:
Thanks for your help.

How do you determine if the radio is required? It drops calls, not as fast, etc?

Also will flashing erase my phone contacts? I'm probably going to update it this weekend.

Is it really worth upgrading to Timor vs. the Stock OS?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
A custom rom is always going to be better than a stock rom as its had the bloatware taken out, had extra functional programs been put in and been tweaked to make it faster and more stable.

If you already have a WM6.1 rom and you are going to another 6.1 or 6.5 rom then the radio should be fine. If you notice after flashing the rom that you have no sound or signal or the camera doesnt work then its probably best to change it.

Flashing a new rom will erase all your data and contacts that are stored on the phone so you might want to back them up first.

Hi mskip,

I would appreciate some advice if you can help me. I have a touch pro 2 which I purchased recently, I'm in the uk I had the phone for about 4 weeks and discovered that bluetooth wasn't working and wi fi wasn't working so I did a hard spl and flashed a AF manila 2.5 Vx1 rom in the hope that this might cure the problem which it didn't. I downloaded the windows update 6.5 from HTC's website and flashed that it didn't cure the problem but the phone seemed to run slightly better but still no bluetooth or wi fi. As time went on over a period of a couple of weeks things got progressively worse. My hard home button refused to return it to the home screen, it basically did work at all, my power button would turn the screen off only to come back on again. I just seem to be getting more problems. I then sent the phone back to HTC for repair under warranty only to receive an email telling me that it could not be repaired under warranty due to damage. When I rang them they told me that they had detected that an illegal piece of software had been flashed at some point and it had knackered the mother board which needed replacing for which they want to relieve me of £157.00. I personally think they're trying to get out of repairing under warranty. I do think that the motherboard was faulty from the start but I can't see I can prove that now and would I be right in saying that what I have done would not damage the motherboard.

I would appreciate any technical help or advice.

Thanx

When flashing from one cooked ROM to another, are there any special instructions? I remember reading somewhere that when you have a cooked ROM, you're supposed to flash to a stock ROM before flashing to a different cooked one. Any ideas on this subject?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
With hindsight, I guess you realise that you should have sent the phone back when it didn't work originally. Flashing new ROMs wasn't likely to fix the problem if Bluetooth etc didn't work from the start.

However, if I was you I would challenge HTC about "illegal software" being able to damage the motherboard. That's similar to suggesting that the warranty on a PC is void because you installed illegal software and it damaged the hard drive/motherboard. The phone is designed to allow different software to be loaded onto it, so that shouldn't void the warranty (despite what they say). If you're in the UK then I would get Trading Standards involved.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
It shouldn't matter what you're flashing to. Some people recommend that for extra safety, before you flash a new ROM you should do a hard reset on the old ROM, then install the new ROM and do a hard reset on that too. You don't need to flash to a stock ROM before switching between cooked ROMs, no.
