I am getting a message when I install the HardSPL that says I have already unlocked a phone and to donate money?! This is the first phone I have unlocked.... Can anyone shed some light on this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Unfortunately this does seem to happen to some people. It seems IMHO that the licensing system is a little over-restrictive, and sometimes flags up "false positives". It's possible your IP address is somehow in the database that they use to track who has run HardSPL before ?

Have you tried running it from someone else's computer, somewhere else ?

It's possible to get around this by sending an email to the developers, see the first couple of postings in this thread for who to contact. They can give you one or two extra licences for free, you do not have to donate anything. However, you will have to wait for them to get back to you. If you are desperate, and you donate, then you will find you get the licence instantly.

Thanks a million brah.....u was a big help

thanks ... a mill :D

I was having the same problem til I noticed my stupid mistake. There is two choices for FAT formating. i was formating the card to FAT but not Fat32. After i changed it to FAT32, it worked like charm. Make sure you are picking FAT32 formate not just FAT. And my card is a ScanDisk 1g.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
They check your IP address to ensure you have not used the Hard SPL before. They are trying to make sure the program isn't used for commercial purposes. Usually you can get them to provide another license or so.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] CRMCCUNE918:
THANKS!!

I just accomplished my first flash to a new Rom, when I used to Hard SPL it asked if I wanted to make a donation, I went to click yes and clicked no, I want to know how I can go back and make a donation for the hard work people have put in
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Check out the HardSPL thread. In the signature of the first posting there, you will see links to donate.

SD Card Flashing Problems - solved

Hi -

Just adding to the database of experience here for newbies like myself.

I have flashed several ROMs already to my TP2 via USB - no problems

Just tried via SD Card method - had a problem and resolved it.

Start. Went into Bootloader with 4GB Sandisk card installed.

SD Card had Energy.RHODIUM.May.16. Cookie .nbh image named RHODIMG.nbh

Bootloader detected new image, pressed power button on top to install new image

Progress bar moved incrementally along (no numbers for progress) until very end - looked like 99% if it had numbers which it didn't.

And there it hung. Removed battery after long time. Restart. Repeated problems. Panic time. Can't exit boot loader.

Reloaded image on new 2GB SD Card.

Removed battery. Reinserted new SD Card. Insert battery. Power up.

Success.

Confirming (1) SD cards can be bad and (2) one can interrupt "Update imaging" before completion without bricking phones.

Hope this helps someone

Just finishing up my first cooked ROM flash, big thanks forthis post!

Today was my first time flashing a ROM and i choose ENERGY. I would like to say VERY NICE!!! Im loving the look and the flow. Im wondering how can i get all my programs back on my phone? I have them all saved on my memory card and also I have my data backed up by using Pimbackup. Do i have to re-install everything? or is there somewhere i can go on the phone to make it reconize my programs and apps?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ungsta:
help please

i lost my phone and got a new 1 from the insurance now hard spl wont download to phone it say i download it before is there way around that please help
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Yes, this is a common issue, and it's about licencing - the developers are trying to stop it being used for commercial use. You can either open a ticket on the HardSPL site (see the sticky on this) and wait for them to come back to you, where you'll get an other couple of licences for free. Or you can donate to get some extra licences free instantly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You need to re-install any add-on programs manually, and restore the data through PIMbackup. Later versions of EnergyROM also have their own "Settings Explorer" to save and restore some settings.

There are ways of automating the restore process, search for "XDA_UC".
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] XERO_Racer:
im wondering if constant flashing will hurt my phone internally? because ive been constantly switching ROMs every 2 to 3 days and idk if it could mess up anything if i keep the attitude up :eek: will also mess my battery up more as well?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lennyz1988:
One short answer, NO. :P Just run task29 once in a while and you will be fine. See it as your computer. If you install windows again it won't hurt your computer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] didozer:
I am very glad that I have read up and came acroos this hot to. I am going to flash my rom tonight when I have nothing but free time (now my kids are going wild). I was just wondering what rom is a good starter rom. I dont use gps just phone, text and internet. I really appriciate this guide and will deff buy you some drinks. Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BigBopper:
I thought if they were properly installed on an SD card you could just link to them with File Explorer. Browse to the Program file directory, click through to the executable (one with icon) and tap and hold and "Add to Start Menu"??? Should show up in the main Windows menu

It's manual but a little quicker than re-installing everything I think.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You may well be right. I've never tried it. I always install all my programs (which doesn't tend to be many) on the device itself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
No, that would put up a link to the file, but when you install a cab file it also changes the registry. The vast majority of programs have to be installed, not just executed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] eatwidchopstx:
Hi i have a tmobile usa htc touch pro2, is it okay to use this flash procedure and will the custom rom work also?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
As long as its a GSM model then HardSPL and custom Roms will work perfectly fine on it.

Hi i tried opening a ticket in HTC unlocks support but no answer so I will post here:

after 6 minutes or so it comes up with UPDATE ERROR.

edit

This is my first TP2 (device ) i have never flashed another htc before ! :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Yeah that does happen sometimes..

You have a few options. Try the process on a different pc (at a different address), donate a few euros to get the process working again (done from the program i think) or wait for them to respond to your ticket.

Thats all I can offer, sorry.

Mark.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tonev:
Thanks for the reply i will try at different pc and at the moment with a different wifi network :) and yes 3 days and still waiting for the support ticket :)

I tried with 3 pc ( one desktop and two laptops) and the problem was the same ( i used the same wifi network i could not use another one :( )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
They work by IP address I believe, so you would have to be using a different physical location when you flashed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] syarjoe:
help

ok so i have been trying to use the hardslp for 3 days i have tryed everything 2 computers and tryed to install the manual exe on the phone but when i tryed to install it on the phone the phone just locks up is there a cab file or somthing i can try the stock att rom is geting on my last nerv
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tonev:
When you try the exe on the phone does it just freeze up and you have to remove the battery cover?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobodaclownster:
Thanks guys. Had an Excalibur/Dash and wanted more screen space and picked up a Rhodium/Touch Pro 2 ($175). Followed the directions posted here Post1 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4370738&postcount=1). Worked like a champ. I'm running Energy Rom With Cookie Support( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562773 )

Just wanted to say Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tonev:
did you have to donate 4 pounds?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobodaclownster:
Nope. Everything is there FREE. I didn't have to do anything except the steps in the 1st post starts with "Flashing via ActiveSync with USB Lead"

The phone I purchases was t-mobile and I have a T-mobile sim card. So all was good. I though I needed to send an e-mail, but there is a link to download it. 1. Download HardSPL package from *HERE* and extract to an empty folder.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] syarjoe:
yes everytime i have tryed i have now tryed on 3 diff computers running diff os (xp,vista,and 7) same thing will not flash
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tonev:
Well syarjoe you can try this run Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe

then manual flash but wait when you run it open taskmgr right click on the item and click go to process now there right click on it and select Open file location then with the nbh file you can try flashing it via SD card but i don't know if it will work for you, for me it did not.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gabmurillo:
I had an unlocked T-mobile which then got stuck on the tri-color screen every time it reboot. I have a replacement now I can't HardSPL either with automatic or Manual method. I always get an ERROR [274]: Connection where the Update Utility cannont connect to the PDA Phone.

I am using Windows XP SP3.

Is there something else I can try or is T-Mobile able to lock this out?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lennyz1988:
Did you try this?

"NOTE2: Anyone having USB problems with the device after it enters SSPL mode, download SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe, copy it to the phone and run it. Once the screen has gone black, run the HardSPL package on the PC and select Manual Flash option."

And no, t-mobile has nothing to do with it. If it doesn't work you are doing something not the way you should :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gabmurillo:
Thank you so much for the reply. Yes, I tried the SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe on the phone after "automatic" would fail. But the screen would go black with automatic so it appears it should work if the laptop would identify the device. The screen goes black with the "Manual" application but the laptop again does not identify the USB device. I did a Hard-Reset on the phone and tried again but no success. I do connect with ActiveSync first and have never had a problem with USB connection to the phone but when the screen goes black trying Hard-SPL the device cannot be recognized.

I have done this before on the old phone using version 1 of the Hard-SPL without a problem. With this replacement phone it appears the laptop is not able to identify the USB PDA device.

The only thing I could try is another computer, I guess.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] syarjoe:
does anyone have an older version of hardspl maybe that might solve my problem i guess it would be worth a try

and thank anyone for and everone thats gives me some advice and helps me solve this stupid problem
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lennyz1988:
did you do this?

NOTE2: Anyone having USB problems with the device after it enters SSPL mode, download SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe, copy it to the phone and run it. Once the screen has gone black, run the HardSPL package on the PC and select Manual Flash option.

*IMPORTANT* Make sure that the USB cable is plugged in and device is synched to Windows Mobile even if doing manual method.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] yamdalal:
yes i did i downloaded the manual one and put it on my phone and then double tapped it to start but the screen never turns black my phone just gets stuck and i cant do anything then untill i soft restar or take the battery out and i tried to put in the internal memory and the sd card same problem
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] horbeme:
i have a question, i will be flashing my rom for the 1st time andwould like to know will i be able to use my phone as soon as i finish updating it. the reason i ask is because when i had the htc touch (vogue) i updated the 6.0 to 6.1 threw verizon's website and had to call them to put the phone back on the network. even thought it was an official update from verizon i was scared cause my phone wouldn't make or receive calls, woul di have the same issue with my TP2. i plan on using NRGZ28 sense 2.5 21905 build which seems to have what im looking for cause im big on performance. also could you explain more on why he recommended to download sashimi before doin the update. i found the software but how it was explained was confusing, i new to doing this so ineed a little more understanding of it..thanks for your help
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
I have never had to call my service provider to put my TP2 back on the network after a ROM flash (also using NRG's ROMs).

Sashimi is a tool to help you restore settings. the EnergyROM series also includes a tool called XDA_UC to help you do this, which is detailed elsewhere. For myself, I prefer to set things up manually after a flash, and I restore my data via PIMbackup (obviously saved before the flash).

um...problem...

I get an error when I open the customruu.exe application. What did I do wrong??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Make sure you are running CustomRUU.exe from the same folder that has the RHODIMG.nbh file in it. Also make sure your anti-virus software is turned off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kimnjace08:
um

-----------------------

my anti-virus lets me open it but its the program that has a problem with my utility or whatnot...is it a problem with my phone? i am using the customruu.exe from the same folder (now that someone has graciouly helped me figure out how to open a 7z file) but i still get the same message... :((
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You're not running it off a network-shared drive, are you ? It's not the phone, on your PC the CustomRUU.exe somehow can't find the RHODIMG.nbh. Something must be up to mean that it can't find it. Maybe try deleting them and extract from the archive again ? Or put them in a different place on your PC. Where is it running from ? Try creating an empty folder on your desktop, put the 2 files in there, and run it from there.

:D:D:D:D:D:DI love you! :) problem solved...:D:D:D:D:D:D

forgot to mention HOW it is solved...

i guess i never actually extracted the folder like i thought i had already done - PLUS i kept it separate from ALL other rom's i was trying to flash :)

Alright I'm flashing my new Tilt 2 for the first time. I'm trying to flash HardSPL and every time it tells me there's a fatal error and to check if the device is synced. The device is synced, I can access it and move files to it and everything. I have no idea what the problem is. I tried running the manual SSPL exe but it just caused my phone to freeze and I got no black screen. I'm getting very frustrated. I just want to install a custom rom. :(

Ok, I did a bit more searching and found how to fix it on my own. Thanks anyway.

My phone (ATT Tilt2) is still out of the box stock... nothing flashed.

I've been kicking around the forums for awhile now and can't figure this out..

What is on my stock phone: HTC Sense 2.1 or Manila 2.5

I think I've decided that this will be my first ROM flashed: [ROM][WWE][ATT][2010/03/10] e2 ROM 21893 [FINAL RELEASE]

But I don't know whether to download Manila version or Sense 2.5

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lennyz1988:
What is the windows version that you are using? You must NOT go into the bootloader! Sync with active sync of wmdc. Make sure you use the latest version of these programs.

And what do you mean by the phone gets stuck? You sync with active sync of wmdc and You run the SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe on your phone and then what? If the screen goes black that is normal. Then run the manual flash.

If this does not work, can you make screenshots of the errors that you get and upload it here?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ultra_Immortal:
Hi, I am experiencing difficulty flashing any new roms on my phone and now my phone doesn't want to load anything but the "Touch Pro2" loading screen.

I did the HARD SPL via this method - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=578660 and I checked the bootloader screen afterwards to verify the 1.00 Olinex.

The first rom I tried to flash didn't work and just loaded the "Touch pro2" Screen and it doesn't want to move from there. So I put the phone into bootloader mode and tried to flash 2 different roms repeatedly and still all I get is the "Touch Pro2" loading screen.

Have I done the process correctly? Have I left something out? Is it still possible to recover my phone?

This is the exact phone I bought off eBay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110540257795&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I first tried the Faria V1 Rom and then the Energy.RHODIUM.21905.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jun.11.7z rom.

I am running Vista 32-bit.

Someone please help...
