This post really helped A LOT...I have had my TP2 for about 2 weeks. I sat around a week before getting it looking at EVERY bit of information about using cooked ROMS. Advantages, things that could go wrong and etc. So yesterday I finally got the balls to do it. You would have thought I was disarming a bomb or something lol I was so careful. After I followed this post step by step I was like wow thats it. WHEEEEW I'm glad it worked. This was an AWESOME thread and my TP2 experience has been f'ing awesome since using this new cooked ROM. Once again thanks A LOT for this post.

i'm having problems flashing from thier SD card? My bootloader isn't reading the file, i recently flashed The Cell Evo 3. i have it in the root as RHODIMG.nbh, and the card is formatted in FAT32........ do i need to do a hard reset before flashing the Leo Cell Evo V1? I'm puzzled! anybody got in suggestions?

I downloaded the mirror file, i'm going to try the hotfile and see how it works.......... tried the hotfile, still doesn't work.......... i've tried other ROMs and the bootloader still isn't finding a file.

Is your card a SDHC model?

I've been trying to flash from SD (this way, I don't need to boot into my Win partition o PC) but it only works with and regular SD, not SDHC.

Tryied both SDHC and regular SD on my last Maple and the regular SD worked, no joy with SDHC :\

Anyone knows a workaround?

@ beubeuz and phigar

I had a similar problem to phigar and maybe beubeuz. with my tilt2 plugged into the front usb panels of my desktop the screen of the tilt2 would blacken, but I would get an error 260.

I could tell the program was working just not long enough because the phone screen was blackened.

Anyways I know that my front usb(common on desktops for some reason?) is weaker so I plugged it into to rear of the desktop and voila no more problems. Hope it helps?

I tried another SDHC card, 8Gb, and worked fine!

So, the problem is not the SDHC type.

Now I'm ready to cook ;)

Hi,

This will be my first time flashing a rom. I will be using Sergio cell pro v9.8. I have an Unbranded Touch Pro 2. Do I need to do a Hard-spl first? Thanks.

Thanks so much

After battling with T-Mobile(they told me the TP2 came with WinMo 6.5), and accepting that I was at their mercy, I stumbled upon xda-devolopers and my mobile life changed. "Brick" might be the scariest word I've ever heard (mostly explaining it to my wife). Without these instructions, I never would have had the guts to flash anything. Thank you so much. If only everyone knew how easy it really is. Again thanks. (Next up, SD card flashing and I'm sweating even though I know it'll be ok.)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Now you have HardSPL on your device you have nothing to worry about so dont be scared about flashing roms :)

Make sure you read the last few pages on any rom you are considering to find out if there are any problems with it but once you have a custom rom on your phone you will be alot happier with it :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cpimentel:
Possible solution for SD Flash

For those who are having problems trying to flash with a SD, try this:

1) Turn on your device pressing VOL-DOWN. 3 color screen will shown and will not find the ROM IMAGE on SD card;

2) Reset (using the reset button) pressing VOL-DOWN. Now the 2 color screen whill recognize the ROM IMAGE on SD card;

Fallow the screen instructions.

This worked for me, I don't need bootcamp anymore ;)

TP 2 not syncing with 6.5

Hi , Newbie , First time flashing and as you can see posting.

I just upgraded to winmo 6.5. from tmobile. of course I am with tmobile. I have the TP 2 and it did all syncing properly before I went to 6.5

The PC (Windows7) will not see the device. If I pull the USB connection I hear the sound from PC speakers when I break the USB connection and also when I plug it back in. But the PC does not show the device (the TP 2) and Windows Mobile Device Center does not see the device since upgrading to winmo 6.5

I have rebooted both the PC and the TP 2. Still nothing

When I went to an XP machine, with ActiveSync, then it saw the TP 2 with the new 6.5

Any ideas for me to get this to be recognized by Mobile Device Center and Windows 7 under My Computer ?? Its just lost :)

Thanks

Gordon

Try going to start menu, settings, connections, usb to pc and untick Enable faster data synchronization. Select done and soft reset then try synching your device again with your pc. Sometimes it helps, if it doesnt you can just reenable it again. Or you could try a different usb port on your pc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] noreturn:
Thank You

Okay, what's the scoop? You must have helped build these things :)

The "untick Enable faster data synchronization worked!"

Thank you so much for your help.

Gordon

PS any idea why all the icons in 6.5 when you click on Start? They are not even laid out in alpha order, just scattered and shoved together. Do you know any way to force it to just be a list and no icons?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Glad it worked for you, it happened to me a long time ago so im happy for the knowledge to be passed on :)

Sadly that is a part of the WM6.5 'finger friendly' interface and cant be swithced to a list format, but you can hold your finger on the icon and move it to the top for easy access to the ones you use more frequently.

I recently got TMobile TP2. I have not Hard-SPLed it yet.

I want to try the official TMobile Windows 6.5 upgrade. So my question is will I be able to Hard-SPL after installing the official 6.5 ROM? I want to confirm if hard-SPL will still work after the new ROM is installed or does it work only with the 6.1 ROM?

Thanks.

Reverting back Tmobile hardspl for warranty

I will be getting my tmobile branded touch pro 2 in couple of days and looking eagerly to upgrade to xda work. If for any reason, I need to reset the phone to factory conditions (hardspl), is there a way that can be done? The first page discusses the details for ATT Tilt2.

Great work xda, I have enjoyed xda work on my tilt1 for a while now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You will need to re-flash the factory ROM and radio. Then to undo HardSPL and install the factory SPL, there are instructions in the second post of the sticky at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550131

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
The new ROM will be installed in the flashing process, but that won't "save" your old ROM, your old (factory) ROM will be wiped out. If you look around on this forum then you will probably be able to find a link to the old ROM that you can save for if you ever need to restore it. Also, being T-Mobile you could of course save a copy of the new official 6.5 T-Mobile ROM which has just been released.

You also may need to restore the factory radio, but again you should be able to find a suitable version on this forum for that process.

There's only one HardSPL for GSM phones, whether that's T-Mobile, AT&T, Vodafone, etc, etc. The HardSPL sticky has a copy of the factory SPL if you ever need to restore that, similarly flashing the HardSPL won't save your old one, it just wipes it out with the new one.

TOTAL NOOB here!! I have been contemplatin' with upgrading to a new ROM for my Tilt2. I have never done a ROM update except for one official htc update on my previous 8525. I understand that i have to hardSPL my Tilt2 in order to install a new ROM like this one. I apologize in advance if these questions have already been asked- i tried at best to read through all the posts- but i hope these are easy enough questions for someone to respond to.

*If one of the new ROM did not come with a Radio do I need to install a new Radio or can I just leave the original or does that get voided if i install a new rom?

*If i decide that i did not like the new ROM, i understand i can install another cooked ROM, since ive already installed hardSPL, but if for a reason i need to reflash the original ATT ROM (which im sure i can get from ATT or HTC)- do i install like i would a cooked ROM? or do i have to do something with the hardSPL?

*Does any of these cooked Rhodium ROMs work for the Tilt2? I am interested in finding a ROM that has functionality like the orig (of course better), faster, and has eyecandy. Im very much interested on Sense 2.5 (but i understand there are landscape issues on that).

At any rate, im just more interested on the previous two inquiries. I know its easy, but being a noob just gives me a bit of that nervousness that im going to do something wrong.

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
The radio won't be touched if you flash the ROM, so you can carry on using whatever's on there. Or if you like, you can try downloading and flashing a new radio. It's easy to try out radios because flashing a new one doesn't touch any of your phone's data.

No, you can still flash an official ROM with HardSPL on your phone. The only reason to install the stock SPL is usually if you want to return your phone for warranty reasons, and there are instructions on that in the second post of the HardSPL thread.

All these cooked Rhodium ROMs should work on the Tilt2. I'm not too familiar with the Tilt2, I think you have a slightly different keyboard but you will find cabs that will fix the mapping for you. You might also have some specific settings to make for your carrier, e.g. for MMS and a few other bits.

Mr Steviewevie

THANKS-- i think i might just do it this weekend!!!

and one more question (and again i really really do appreciate the responses), I use SPB backup for my files-- will the back up files re-load back to the new ROM?

So many choices on ROM.. but they all equally deserve kudos (and donation

which I will be very happy to provide-once i figure out which one i want to use)..

Thanks again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You're welcome ! :) Good luck !

I don't know much about SPB Backup, but from what I understand, yes, that's the idea, you can restore on a new ROM as well as an existing ROM. So you backup all your stuff into SPB Backup, flash the new ROM then restore your backup. Make sure you take note of anything that maybe it's not going to backup for you, and I doubt it'll restore settings so you'll have to do that yourself unless you're using some other solution for that.

Great insturctions for me since im a first timer. Just a small question has anyone had problems performing the hardspl? I have the files needed and follow the process step by step but i can not seem to get it to work. I run teh manual setup because the automatic encounters and error, once it starts i just stay at the grey screen with the %sign at 0. I also tried the sspl and that only locks my tp2. Any suggestions are very much welcome plz.

thanks

If im flashing a NEW rom over top of a currently cooked rom, do I have to flash HARDSPL again? Or can I just flash HARDSPL once and then keep flashing as many roms as I want?

Can flashing your ROM too many times hurt the phone? Might be a stupid question lol.

I keep flashing different roms because im not 100% happy with any of them (not bashing them, they are all absolutely lovely ROMs, its just that some either dont run as smoothly as I would like or dont have all of the features I would like).

I guess its a trial and error process.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
The latter. Flash HardSPL once, and then you can flash as many new cooked/official ROMs and/or radios as you like !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
I imagine there is a limit but I also imagine it's very high (tens of thousands ? Just guessing), so I doubt you will cause any harm by continuing to flash.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ghettolumpia:
followed these directions:

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

2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC - dled ark666's rhodium_af

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

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

5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone -done

6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top -in the bottom always shows "serial"

-always flashed via activesync

-since i tried flashing via mirosd i can never pass after step 6.

step 3, i even capitalized it also but didnt make any difference.

im on olinex 0.85
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
The word "serial" at the bottom of the screen doesnt mean that its asing you for a serial number its just refering to the connection. If you flash via activesync then it says "usb" at the bottom.

After it goes into the tri colour screen does it come up with any instructions? From what you are describing there is nothing wrong with your flashing procedure upto and including step 6.

Flashing via storage card

mskip,

Can you please explane the advantage of flashing from sd card. I have been flashing via activesync for years and have not had problems... Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
There is no real advantage apart from the fact you can take several roms and radios with you on microsd card and then simply rename and flash them away from a pc. Also its the only option for some people who cant get an activesync connection with their pc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Try going into settings, connections, usb to pc and untick 'enable faster data synchronization'.

That helps some people get a sync connection.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Caio:
thank you, but if I deactivate the faster data sync option the device isn't recognized from pc.

In fact windows see the device (on the hardware manager window) like a "generic serial device", but is unable to find a suitable driver, and obviously WMDC (that I have reinstalled more times) can't manage it.

In addiction I noticed than when I flash the device and the phone reboot in the 3 colors screen windows try to install a driver for an "Qualcomm CDMA ....." device, but is unable to do it.

This means that my device is a CDMA device? :) I was thinking that it was not (I bought it in Italy), in fact when I hardSPLed it I didn't use the CDMA instructions.... :o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
I could well be wrong, but I don't think the "Qualcomm CDMA" thing is related to whether you need to use a CDMA ROM or a GSM one. The sure way to tell is to see what phone model you have, on the plate with the serial number under the battery, e.g. whether it's RHOD100, RHOD200, RHOD400 or whatever. What do you have ?

But the fact that your PC is failing to install the drivers is the reason it's not going any further - sorry if I'm stating the obvious. You need to look at why it's failing etc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Caio:
ok thank you, I'm looking for a lookup table for S/N -> Models but I can't find it :confused:

My S/N is HT99XLL00xxx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
What about the model, it should say "RHOD100", "RHOD400", or something like that, near to the serial number.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Caio:
Ok thank you I'm suddenly became blind :D

the model is (according to what I can see in the 3 colors screen) a RHOD100
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
ok, same as me, that's a GSM phone. Like I thought, the "Qualcomm CDMA" thing is a bit of a red herring. But your PC does need to be able to install drivers to see it and therefore get further, unless you flash from the SD card instead. I don't have Windows 7, perhaps someone who does can suggest something to help ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Caio:
I know that is not the best way to do it, but I was able to flash the new radio using Windows Virtual PC.

I attached the USB device manually on my Virtual machine (selecting it on the dropdown menu), and when the device rebooted into the 3 colors screen I needed to reattach it.

The flash start and terminate correctly, this is the only way I found to do it under Win 7 x64 with this device (in the past I was able to flash my old P3600 using the custom_ruu on the same OS without problems).
