SD ROM Flash help?

I've been flashing from USB for a while, and recently I tried my first SD card flash for Cell Pro v11.

I followed the steps you have for SD flashing to the letter, but for some reason it's not working. All the steps go through without a problem, and I reach the "Update completed" screen after flashing. Once I reset with the stylus, however, the phone loads up to pink tmobile "stick together" logo, some red numbers/letters appear on the bottom, and then gets stuck there forever.

Red letters under logo:

B 80

R 3.45.25.14

G61.27t.25.23U

D 1.86.67102

I've tried reflashing from the SD card onto this phone several times now with two or three different ROMs and all end up the same way..

Here's the bootloader screen if it helps:

RHOD210 32M SS-BC

SPL-0.85.OliNex

MicroP(LED) 0x0A

MicroP(KEY) 0x04

TURBO HW/TURBO SW

TP MFG DATA

503,523 788,849

784,190 223,192

223,852 Calibrated

Please help me, did I do something wrong?

Thanks a lot,

out of the box and flash hard spl?

So Im not exactly new to flashing coming from the HD but as far as having a new toy it always helps to get a confirmation albeit all the info thats been given. So I decided to get the tp2 just because I wanted it a while ago but had the T8285 then got the Nexus and sold my HD. Had to come back to the windows mobile world but I must admit I love my Nexus and Android. Anyhow it seems that I can take my tp2 straight out of the box and hard spl it then flash away with roms? Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Yes, straight out of the box you can put on HardSPL, then you can choose whatever ROM you like (cooked or official), plus different radios. If you have a GSM TP2 then you must flash GSM ROMs though, and CDMA versions (e.g. Sprint, Verizon etc) need CDMA ROMs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
As long as its a gsm model then yes you can HardSPL it using this guide and flash whatever you want.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] krissybear:
Best cooked rom

I'm deciding what to flash as first cooked rom for my rhodium. (tilt 2). I'm technically not a noob in flashing since I've done it in my previous htcs. But first for tilt 2.

Your advices are greatly appreciated!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] krissybear:
Your guide is always most helpful

Thanks mskip! Your guide got me to hard spl so easily. It worked with bootcamp Windows7 on MacBook. The easiest I've done ever!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lomper:
Hi

Can anyone advise me which is the stock spl (84 or 87) for my htc touch pro 2.

I am with T-mobile in the uk, as it looks like I will challenge htc in the courts to prove to them that using a different spl did not damage the motherboard.

Thanx for any help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Was it T-Mobile branded or generic HTC ?

I think it would be a very interesting test case to go to court on this sort of thing. I really don't see how it would possibly stand up in court that an upgradeable device had its hardware damaged by a set of firmware/software that works perfectly well on many many thousands of phones.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lomper:
It's generic htc.

Trading standards have advise me to contact the company that supplied the phone as htc say I have broken my warranty by changing the spl and htc are now

not

confirming that what I have done could damage the motherboard they just say that they are unable to carry out their tests.

I have contacted the company that supplied the phone stating that the device is unfit for purpose and as expected, no reply.

So my efforts now will be to restore the stock spl and get an independent phone repairer to confirm my belief.

Any help appreciated and thanx again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
According to the Wiki, UK TP2s come with 0.79 SPL. It shouldn't matter really, HTC or whoever sold you the phone can hardly say the 0.79 isn't an official version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GreatDay:
Well I am NOT doing something right. I've loaded and run the enabler file on my phone and done I think everything as instructed, but every time I plug the TILT2 in and open the first screen of the HardSPL install and start checking the boxes, the phone and/or Active sync (not sure which) shuts off/disconnects and I have to pull the battery to get back up and running. I am sure this is operator failure, but I'll be damned if I know what part.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
ok, sorry if you know this already, but the screen is meant to go black and the phone look like it's not connected, when actually it still is connected. Does it come up with an error message ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GreatDay:
Well yes, the final screen from the installer says you have to be connected to your computer, which I just was and now am not. Active sync keeps shutting itself down---or the phone is disconnecting; I don't which is doing it. (Seems like the phone is locking up; i have to remove the battery to start over). But no, i didn't know the screen went black. If I ever get to stay connected to the computer, I'll remember that. thanx.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lomper:
Thanx for the info.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MueR:
I'm having a rather strange problem with HardSPL, or just about any rom. I have a Touch Pro 2, TMobile NL version. I've been trying to flash a custom rom on it, but am having no luck.

When I connect the phone using the USB cable, I see the activesync connection coming up in WMDC (I'm using Win 7 Bussiness x64). Once that's all done, I start the HardSPL program, it comes up with the usual warnings and confirmations. It then proceeds to "validate information on PDA phone". Most of the time, this is where my phone turns black and I get a connection error. At rare occasions, I get to see the progress bar on my PC, but that stays at 0%, to give me the same error, number 260. At other times, I get to see the bootloader, but same error.

I thought it might be something about my phone being only a 6.1 stock TMobile rom, so I downloaded their 6.5 update. Unfortunately, that does exactly the same.

My phone is recognized as a normal PDA phone, but as soon as the phone turns it's black screen on, it's suddenly detected as a Quallcomm CMDA device, which clearly it isn't. My Windows install doesn't have drivers for this device, so it cannot make a USB connection, leaving me with a phone that's hung. I need to do a soft reset to get it back.

I'm absolutely adamant I followed the steps as described in the guide, trying combinations of no sim/sd, only sd, only sim, both, I've reread the entire thing about 15 times now and spent over four hours cursing at myself sofar. Any thoughts, something I did wrong? The search hasn't really turned up anything yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Don't worry about the "CDMA" thing, that's actually the correct message, but the lack of drivers is your problem, that's why it's not working - Windows can't see the device via USB in that state. Other people have hit this problem too on Win 7, but I don't know what the solution is, since others have got it to work on Win 7.

Can you run the RUU program in XP compatibility mode to see if that helps ? Or get access to an XP/Vista PC to run it on ?

cannnot HARDSPL

For some weird reason I cant hardspl my T-Mobile TP2. I am following all the steps and the phone goes to flashmode but the progressbar sticks at 0% for ever.

I hardspld my HTC non branded TP2 ages ago and everything worked perfectly by following the instructions.

Any idea ?

The HardSPL process is detecting that you've unlocked a phone previously. You'll have to contact cmonex and explain the situation. Or otherwise just donate.

Tried XP SP3 & SP2, Vista in all service pack modes, running as Administrator (even though my account has full admin privileges), all no luck.

Rhodium Noob Flashing NRGZ LEO MAX MANILA no Image

Hi, everyone. I'm a noob on here and I have been reading and reading on how to flash a ROM on my AT&T Tilt 2/Rhodium and I have longed to try ENRGZ ROMs so I study up on doing the whole HARDSPL which is 0.58. Olinex which was successfuly put on my phone. Now I downloaded the LEO MAXMANILA ROM and changed the name to RHODIMG.nbh and copied it to my microSD card via my phone faster file transfer (not Activesync) I Formated the card FAT32 as per instructed in various well written instructions before the copying. I did a hard reset (volume down button + soft reset button with the stylus) The bootloader screen comes up (tricolor) then the white screen "00068002 Loading..." after a millesecond it shows no image file and goes back to the bootloader screen. THIS IS WHERE I'M STUCK! I have stayed up through most of the night trying to find a solution and I feel I'm missing something. Help PLZ!!

Hi guys, I use to be a Hermes user but I've now bought a TP2.

While I am waiting for the unlocker, I have already flashed Hard-SPL and I have been able to update the radio.

Just downloaded a Custom Rom (Energy Leo), extracted it, double clicked on custom.ruu

More files appear but nothing happens to the phone and it doesn’t begin the flashing process.

Is this because I haven’t used Olipro's unlocker to remove security?

Olipro if you happen to glance at this, I would be super appreciative if you could send me it soon. Thanks so much!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Send her a PM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
If you've got HardSPL on ok then no, it's not because you haven't security unlocked it.

Try disabling your anti-virus software, it might be stopping the program from running (a common problem).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dparish2:
Okay, I'am so confused, I have read almost every post about using hardspl. Every hardspl download I do says that I have already used it which I have not. Where do I donate? It will not allow me to when I click "yes" to donate. Could someone also PLEASE post a DL for the correct Hardspl I need to use. I have T-mobile with a HTC Touch Pro 2. Thank you very much.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You need the HardSPL thread which is at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550131 . Scroll down to the end of the first posting, where you'll see several attachments. The one you want is "Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3_185HSPL.zip".

If it's saying you've already used it, it means that the HardSPL team either have a record of your phone already (e.g. it's a refurbished one that's already been used) or your IP address through using HardSPL. Trying opening a ticket at http://support.htc-unlocks.com/ and explain your situation.

No Image file...HELP

I don't know if anyone has found the time to help me with this issue from my previous post but I really am desperate. I have the HARDSPL installed properly on my Tilt 2 and the rom RHODIMG.nbh file on my microSD card but like I said before the bootloader says there's no image and goes back to bootloader.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Try a different microsd card or flash via activesync. Also make sure your card is formatted with fat32 on your pc and not from the phone.

I noticed it doesn't mention anything about hard resting after flashing perferred ROM, like the tutorial did for the Touch pro 1, any reason for this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Yes im not sure if its totally necessary with the TouchPro2 or not. I would assume it will do more good than harm but when dave reads this if he can verify whether its a good idea on this phone then I will add it.

I dont own this phone "yet" so I cant talk from experience.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sjwk:
It does, thanks! I hadn't realised that the UC stuff was obsolete - so is there any other current method for automating configuration changes? Not so much installing programs since as you say the common ones are normally included in the ROM, but just all the tweaking of settings and so on, since most ROMs will come tweaked to their chef's preferences.

Thanks for your help, and for taking the time to write this guide in the first place!

ok im sorry for the false alarm..

resetting it with tthe reset button worked... entering bootloader mode shows SPL-0.79.0000... so theres no HardSPL on it yet if im not mistaken... phew I nearly wet my pants.. when i couldnt get it back on....

how do i get out of bootloader mode though ??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BaronBaron:
If you brick your phone, does a hard reset unbrick it?

And sorry about this noob question, but do you have to flash first to install custom roms? or does flashing do somethign entirely different...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bonevbs:
bricks

i think it depends on how bricked it is. I know it is possible to brick it that much that there is no chance of recoverz, but it|s possible to brick it onlz partiallz as well...

I was so glad i didnt brick it, there is nothink like a pandora batterz for the rhodium like for the PSP :(

do you need to flash an origional rom back on between flashing to custom cooked roms?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cal-El:
Nope, just flash the next! Some people say its a good idea to flash back to the OEM ROM every now and then to help system stability but there is no real proof as to weather or not this needs to be done! Its up to you! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheMan42:
I have some quick questions regarding flashing new ROMs here:

When I flash the HSPL, I assume that I will start out fresh correct? As in I lose all data currently not backed up on my device?

When I flash a new 6.5 ROM, do I need to re-download .NetCF 3.5 again or is that synchronized with 6.5?

Are custom themes compatible with 6.5? e.g. can I use the TF3D 2.5 Icons with the 2.1 like I'm using now on the stock T-MO rom on my Rhodium?

Sorry guys, I'm a fairly avid flasher when it comes to Android, but never used a WM device in my life before.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cal-El:
1: Flashing Hard Spl will not reset your device or erase any Data, flashing a new ROM will however!

2: Net CF 3.5 is included with 6.5 so no need to reinstall!

3: Its pretty hard to find any themes that are not compatable with both 6.1 and 6.5 at the same time so your icons will most likely work with both! Most themes are based on the UI being used not the version of windows! :)

I tried doing it with activesync to begin with but I have been getting the error code 238. I am wondering if the HARDspl is not right. I Have .085 OliNex. But from all the other threads I read the latest one is 1.4x. When I go to "Flashing Rhodium for noobs" and follow the instructions for the hardspl that is the version I get when I down load it. so my questions are...

1. Where do I get the latest version and is it compatable with my Tilt 2/Rhodium?

2. Would getting that latest version help flash the latest Leo ROM from ENRGZ's kitchen?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
0.85 OliNex is the correct and latest version of HardSPL for GSM Rhodium (it is a GSM phone, not a CDMA one, right ? If it's a Tilt2 then that should be fine). Not sure where you are getting the 1.4x thing from.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] daluckysort:
My network is with AT&T and that is GSM. Do you know what the deal is with the error code 238: file read.

I unzipped the HARDSPL package and thought that's what you meant. I'm stupid, sorry guys. Beers all around! Thanks for everybody's help.

I am trying to get my phone back to a stock state for a warranty exchange, but the only thing stopping me is the SPL. I have successfully flashed the newest Tmobile WinMo 6.5 upgrade rom but they (HTC said they wont do anything since the SPL has changed).

There is a thread that has the tmobile stock SPL uploaded here, but it wont flash for some reason. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550975&highlight=stock+tmobile

anyone have any insight on what i can do? Thanks guys.
