Yes, it's normal for the phone to be "stuck" after a Task29. It has a blank ROM so it can't boot.

But it's not normal for your phone to hang once it has a correct ROM on it. Are you 100% sure it's a GSM ROM that you're trying to flash ? I would try downloading the ROM again, just in case it was somehow a bad download. Have you tried flashing any different ROMs, e.g. a stock ROM ? I would try that too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] spirziv:
The last ROM was stock.

RUU_Rhodium_S_HTC_Europe_1.86.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.17_Signed_Ship.exe

I guess I can go with that version.

If not, please feel free to tell me what version of ROM RADIO I should install, and I will do that.

p.s: I remember that the ORGINAL ROM Version when I bought it, was listed as WWE AFRIKA ROM version, which I checked on Intrent-goolgle.

I dont know why was that, when I bought in USA.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
That ROM should at least boot ok on your phone. So the phone was definitely working fine before you flashed that ROM ? You didn't flash another radio onto it first, which then made it hang ?

Do you have the option of returning the phone under warranty ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] spirziv:
I guess that rom has and radio in it. or not ?

do you think that I dont have radio, so for that thing it cannot boot ?

For the warranty thing, I must send the phone to New York, because I'm from MAcedonia, and it will be complicated ....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Yes, usually the stock ROMs have radio included too, and that one looks like it does.

I don't think the problem is that you've got no radio, no. Because task29 doesn't erase your radio, and you still should have whatever radio was left from the last time a radio was flashed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tscyadi4:
Okay I have a stock ROM on the AT&T Tilt 2. I have just reseted it. Now I've tried to flash the ROM. Now I want to know why it will not flash? Also I tried to do the SD card flash and it wouldn't work either. I'm trying to flash the Energy Standard Reference ROM. When I tried, the program wouldn't let it go through? Someone said this could be a issue with anti-virus. Now I would like to know how I bypass this. Please help Please Im seriously stressed out about this now
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
What anti-virus software are you using ? There should be a way to disable it, via some options. In the worst case, you can run a program called "msconfig" and go to the "Startup" tab - in there you can un-tick programs related to anti-virus, reboot the computer, and the AV software won't start up (you can reverse this procedure once you have flashed ok).

This won't have anything to do with why you can't flash from SD card. Make sure the SD card is formatted as fat32. And sometimes it just doesn't seem to like certain types of SD card for flashing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tscyadi4:
Thank you so much for responding, I believe it is running Symnatec or something I also have Spybot Search and Destroy. I have gotten to the third step of flashing. I had to check two boxes and click continue twice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sephiros:
My Tp2 can not boot up and is stuck at the white HTC logo screen. It has not been HardSpl. The bootloader works, but since it doesn't connect to activesync I can't install the HardSPL.

I've tried hard resetting it many times to no avail. I also tried to just install an official HTC rom from the SD card using the bootloader. It starts to read it, says its "loading," then just goes back to the tri-color screen.

Any ideas how to fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Make sure to disable your firewall before doing this if you are having issues. Some *cough*Norton*cough* don't play well with other children. After the task29, you need to get back into the bootloader by hitting the reset button with the volume down button held. Connect the device to your PC via USB and wait for "USB' to appear at the bottom of the screen. Once that happens, begin flashing whichever flavor of Energy ROM you like from THIS THREAD. This is all of NRGZ28's GSM Rhodium ROMs. Please note that after a flash, it will be stuck at the splash screen for about a minute or two before moving on. this is normal. It takes about 6 minutes or so to fully boot a freshly flashed ROM. Good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
You need to boot into the ROM first to be able to install Hard SPL. If you can't connect to the PC at all, then you need to call your carrier and try to do a warranty exchange. Basically, no matter if you want Hard SPL for a custom ROM or just to put a stock ROM on the device, you will need to be connected through the PC.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] razorloves:
put your phone into bootloader mode, connect the usb cable and it should say USB on the bottom of the phone screen, then flash the official stock rom.

dont worry about activesync. that only connects if you're booted into windows mobile.

Hi, this is true? I can only get a license? I ask because every 6 or 12 months and cellular changes as I read on this forum, do not respond to requests for new licenses.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] razorloves:
only some tp2's are world phones. sprint is one of them. sprints tp2 does have cdma and gsm, but they're primarily cdma, so they are refered to as cdma in these forums. this thread is for the non worldphones that are only gsm. go to the cdma tp2 subforum if you have a sprint tp2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] razorloves:
yes, you only get one free license. if you have to unlock a replacement, get on a different computer and differnt internet connection so that your phone doesn't get blacklisted

thanks a lot for the response.

i actually got restless and just followed the directions to unlock and such from the cdma forum.. and after trying to put a custom rom on it, the phone no longer boots up past the initial white htc screen. i tried putting another rom on my microsd and installing it in the bootloader, but same result. any ideas?

Verizon's WinMo configs can't overwriteble.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Wrong forum, you need to go to the CDMA sub-forum for your phone (you need to use the CDMA unlocker/HardSPL/etc).

got a problem guys. for some reason i cant use my touch screen anymore. everything has to be done through the keyboard now.

even though i have read a lil bit of reflashing to stock rom, i am still confused on the process and am not sure what programs i use to reset it back to stock so taht i can turn this back in to tmobile.

will or can someone please baby walk me through this process please.

Get your stock ROM from shipped-roms.com

Flash the stock ROM onto your phone.

Then get the SPL re-locker, and run it as described on post #2 of the HardSPL thread:

Hi, I have a big problem. Some time ago I made a successful Hard-SPL. Get ROM without a problem. Now I want to get out HARD-SPL and put my official ROM also guarantee to be valid. Before you read exactly what to do did Relock-SPL, then I no longer showed this Olinex (which showed when I reset the phone Boot loadera). My phone starts without a problem with ROM that I had. After I read that first had to do task29. I downloaded your task29.zip. Unzip it and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe which was in the net - next .. next .. and I sit 2 minutes at 0% then gave me an error. How to go to the original ROM. Please help.

Excuse me for bad English.

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] razorloves:
dont worry about task29. not needed. just download the shipped rom exe file for your phone and save it to your desktop, connect usb cable, and open the shipped rom file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
It sounds like you've done it in the wrong order. Have a look at the relocking guide at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4363809&postcount=2

You need to reflash he stock ROM and radio *first*, then run the relocker. You've run the relocker first if I am understanding you correctly (you said the bootloader didn't show "OliNex" any more ?

Task29 isn't in the post that I've linked to, so I'm wondering where you're getting your relocking guide from ?

Task29 won't work if you have removed HardSPL.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ivailo0:
I made myself a new Hard-SPL. After I did task29. After you've installed the new ROM. After I did Relock-SPL. Now everything is OK.

Many thanks to all who helped me!

Hello, I am new to use this site. After spending couple of hours and understanding ROM business, I was able to install Hard-SPL . With the help of this file I was able to install ATT tilt2 ROM upgrade in Tmobile touch pro2 PHONE .. and works fine.Originally I wanted to install custom ROMs like energy or cell core. Now I have a problem installing these ROM. I even downloaded zip files but when I open these files , they have two files

RHODMIG.nbh

Rhodi...software.exe

when I click on file....exe --update utility opens but quickly ends on error. To me ,it seems like there are two files and are not interconnected as they are in tmobile ROM or ATT ROM .

Based on your experience and forum , you guyz are way too above than my level/ knowledge.

If any one can help in installing instruction, or guide me according to the details above mentioned, that would be great.

thanks

Thanks for the guide

Completed my first flash this morning, excelent guide.

i didnt come accross any issues with my flash but i couldnt have done it without reading this and everyones comment's. if anyone's thinking of flashing for the first time it is definatly worth reading up on before you do anything.

Touch Pro 2 - Vodafone U.K - (upgraded from lastest stock SPL + ROM as it has recently been returned)

Energy Sencity 29007 (Dec 27)

Definatly worth doing!

Thanks everyone. :)

Hey, this is my first flash and I've done everything listed in order to flash via SD card (my phone keeps turning itself off and going to screen if I try it through active sync). Everything was really easy and laid out in a very retard-friendly setting, however, at the point where it says "Enter bootloader screen and follow instructions for update", my phone only stays in bootloader mode and won't do anything else unless I take out the battery and restart it. Am I missing something?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Make certain the ROM you are trying to flash is named RHODIMG.nbh and is in the root of the SD card. This means it should not be in any folders at all. Once you get into bootloader, it will ask you to confirm the flash by pressing the volume up button, I think. do so, and wait while it flashes. These instructions assume you have already done a Hard SPL and have over 50% battery life remaining.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jwzg:
Quick question and I think I know the answer, but....

I'd like to know if one can flash the stock HTC 2.07 WWE ROM to a Tilt 2 and still have 3G? If not, what needs to be changed? I decided I'd rather not read thru 160+ pages of posts. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Shouldn't be a problem as 3G services depend on the device's hardware, not software. For example, you could not flash a T-Mobile device with AT&T's ROM image and hope to get 3G with AT&T. However, flashing any other ROM, will still leave you with whatever 3G service was available to you before your flash. Just don't go trying to flash a CDMA ROM, and you'll be fine.

EDIT: By the way, how'd you enjoy the game last Sunday? WHO DAT! lol :D

Ive been successfully HardSPL'ed my Tmo-TP2 and been flashing between ROMs these past couple of weeks via USB (making sure I run task29 in between flashes). This is the first time I've encountered this issue. I need help here.

I initially started from simplicity_15_November_28244CHT then tried out

EnergyROM 28244 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec20. When an update came out on the EnergyROM thread, I flashed to the 29007 Dec 27th flavor. Wasn't that happy with Dec 27 CHT, so I tried Energy.RHODIUM.28244.Sense2.5.MaxSense.Dec.22 but still didnt like it. I decided to just revert back to EnergyROM 28244 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec20 but after successfully doing task29 (always in between the aforementioned ROM flashings) & flashing via USB, it now loops from the splash screen to "Please wait while your device is starting for the first time..." then the screen dims, goes blank, then loops to that same sequence again. I tried flashing back to simplicity_15_November_28244CHT, same problem. I already tried hard resetting twice but it still shows the same problem. Did task29 again & reflashed EnergyROM 28244 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec20, did numerous hard resets on it but its still the same.

Again, i really need help guys. Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Sounds like an incomplete or bad flash. Try downloading the file again from the source. Most likely, from what you are describing, the file you had was not complete. Perhaps the download was cut off at some point, or the flash didn't complete all the way.Download the file again, and then try to flash it. You could test this by flashing a stock ROM to the device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] captain2113:
So I've checked and it has been successfully HardSPL'd to 0.85.Olinex and I have flashed to the most recent radio version. However, it still won't allow me to boot up my ROM at all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nelvbautista:
Here's what I did after your advice:

Troubleshooting 1

1. on USB, on bootloader, ran task29

2. still on USB, swithced to bootloader mode

3. ran Official TMO-USA TP2 ROM update, waited for it to finish

Noticed strange things though:

a. Briefly got stuck at 8%

b. went to bootloader mode without any errors

c. proceeded with the rest of the installation until it finished

Here's what happened:

1. Boots up to T-mo static splash screen

2. Same static splash screen with RBGD with corresponding numbers below (takes unusually long, around 1 minute)

3. Goes to T-mo animated "stick together" splash screen

4. Goes to Winmo splash screen

5. Screen dims

6. Restarts the same sequence

**also did a couple of HRs, still no go

**repeated task29 twice, repeated installing stock ROM, still no go

Troubleshooting 2

1. Copied EnergyROM 28244 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Dec20 .nbh to formatted mSD

(Im confident that my saved copy of this EnergyROM is not a bad copy since i can open the 7z file without any errors)

2. on USB, on bootloader, ran task29

3. switched to bootloader, removed from USB

4. .nbh in mSD detected, EnergyROM installed, no errors or hickups whatsoever

Results: Same Looping Issue

**also did a couple of HRs on this ROM, still no go

What the hell is going on? Really need to have this fixed? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Radio version has nothing to do with the ROM. Flash a new ROM and try again.

I'm not really sure then. You could try posting this question as a new thread in the General section, or flash back to stock settings, SPL included, and try for a warranty exchange.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bogdan_wrc:
help :(

bad post, sorry :) i had a problem, but i solved it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Were you aware that task29 is a format utility? It erases everything on your device and prepares it for a flash. All you have to do to get to the bootloader to flash is press the reset button with your stylus while holding down the volume down button. This will bring you to a tri-colored screen known as the bootloader. Plug in your USB cord and the bottom of the screen should go from "Serial" to "USB." Once that happens, run the RUU for the ROM you wish to flash.

On a side note, a hard reset restores the last ROM you flashed. Meaning, since you flashed the fake OS from the task29 tool, you aren't really able to hard reset back to the last ROM you flashed. The task29 tool runs after the flash and wipes out everything. There basically isn't anything for the device to restore, which is why it doesn't work for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nelvbautista:
I already restored back to Stock ROM & SPL still no luck with getting past the winmo splash screen. Also ruled out battery issue since I was able to fully charge the battery using an external charger. I also contacted HTC support via their support website. Unfortunately since I have a T-Mobile TP2, though bought from Singapore, the warranty is under US not the Philippines or Singapore. They gave me a disclaimer that HTC Phils. may not be able to help me with replacement and should get in touch with either US or EU global warranty for help. :(:(:(

You should be posting Hard SPL issues in the Hard SPL thread. There are several suggestions to try in the FAQ in the second post in that thread. If the FAQ doesn't help you, then posting your problem there will at least let cmonex, the creator, know that you have an issue. She is more likely to respond if you post in the Hard SPL thread.

Um, what do we rename RHODIMG.nbh to flash via Usb? Is it really the same name
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Yes RHODIMG.NBH is fine.

Dave
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
The name of the file only matter when flashing via SD. It must be named RHODIMG.nbh and placed in the root (not in a folder) of the SD card. If you are flashing via USB, the file only needs to be in the same folder as the RUU file. It can be named anything. The RUU will flash any *.nbh file in the folder no matter what the name.

Fatal Error [246]

Hi,

so I got my phone today [ROM version: 1.19.207.0 (51489) GER; Radio: 3.44.25.27] and after making sure everything worked (GPS, synching with Win7x64), I thought I try to flash HardSPL to get some nice cooked ROM on my TP2. :p However, I fail right at the start. Here is what I did:

Remove microSD and SIM

make sure that I can go online with the TP2

disable Windows Defender on PC

Synch with Windows 7 x64 (which showed the sync was successful - on the phone as well as on the PC)

download HardSPL, extracted it to D:\HardSPL

run HardSPL as admin

select Automatic Flash

press OK (On the "Preparing to flash" screen)

Then I immediately get this:

and then

Other things I've tried:

Manual flash. There it correctly reads the phone's ROM (1.19.207.0) and when I click the Update box, it adds the "To: Image Version : 0.85.OliNex". However, when I click Next and Next, I get:

insert SIM card back

several restarts of PC and phone

different file locations for HardSPL

What should I do??? Any help would be greatly appreciated - I just got my phone, saved a long time for it, and don't want to ruin it! :(

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
I just happened to look in here...why didn't you follow the error message and try installing the CAB file referenced in it? will probably solve the issue. if not, then check the neat FAQ in Hard-SPL thread 2nd post.

I'll install the CAB right away and see how it goes. ;)
