Norton can be shut down from services.msc (start->run). Just killing the processes doesn't work, most AV programs have some protection built in against that. (Have to be admin obviously to do it). Just stopping every service with Norton or Symantec does the trick, don't have to disable or anything, so they'll all come back after a reboot.

Verizon TP2 World Edition Hard SPL Yet

Hello everyone, great forum and I'm totally stoked to get into this great ROM action. I get my TP2 this week, however it is a world phone (CDMA-GSM) edition, therefore unless a Hard SPL has been released I cannot take advantage of any of these terrific roms, correct?

Assuming that is right, is there an ETA on when the unlocker might be available?

Thanks!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Awesome posting, thanks ! I've flashed the HardSPL to my TP2, and since that was so straightforward I've put a new radio ROM on there too.

Now that I've dipped my toe into the water of ROM-flashing, and found it not so frightening as I was expecting lol, the next step is to check out some of the great-looking ROMs that are floating around here.

Thanks guys ! :D

Thank you very much. Hard-SPL found and that forum is definitely where I need to be.

I plan to use the phone a few days without any mods in case I don't like it (not likely) Once I've decided I'm keeping it, I'm going for it.

Thanks for the fast responses.

Re-flash the stock ROM and Radio, then (and only then) re-flash the stock SPL.

if i'll flash any new ROM , will the original feathers of the device work?

for example, the proximity feather, and when you have a call and turn the device, will the loud speaker work ?

It all depends on the ROM, but normally the chef's leave these features well alone.

4. Run Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe on PC, make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.). XP requires Admin logon and Vista/Windows 7 will automatically prompt to allow it to run in Admin mode, allow it.

Quick Question

I have been an unlocked HTC user since the wizard and have been very gratefull of all the rom's I have used from the chefs around here.

Just recently I bought my first locked branded phone which is an AT&T Tilt2. Since this is my first locked branded HTC device, and I can't stand the stock AT&T rom, I would like to flash a new rom on it without all the bloat crap. Is it just as safe to install Hard SPL for the Tilt2 and install a custom rom from one of the chefs here as it was with the unlocked Generic HTC phones which I had before?

If so, then what would be the best recomendation of a custom rom to install on the phone to take the place of the bloated AT&T rom?

For warantee purposes, is it possible to flash back the stock Hard SPL and stock rom if the phone needs to be returned?

Thanks for the replies ahead of time...

JB
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SoberGuy:
Too lazy to search or read, eh?

Doing the HardSPL on a carrier-locked device is soooo different than doing it on an unbranded one. That's why there's 8 different version of the HardSPL unlocker. Oh wait, there's only one? Hmmm, maybe it's the same process then...

As for ROM, gonna have to try them out and find one that suits you.

As for returning to stock condition, well, try searching and reading. Lots of people asking that same question! Yes, you can go back to stock SPL, and I *think* the stock ROM is completed, though it may still be missing the splash screens. Either way, if you've done it enough times, you know you're on your own and tasking risks...

And here comes Dave with the lock...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bteljuice:
Hye man. Welcome ot the community.

First, Next time post in the GENERal section ;)

Second, Yes it is safe to revert back to stock.

Thrid, It is all about Flavor. They are all good. It all depends on what you like.

What I normaly do, I just check the one with the highest Views and flash that first. But again, Its not always that case. Sometimes the new chefs out perform old chefs. Its all about talent, choice, desire ;)

Same thing with my Kaiser. I was with different chefs and usually the old ones as I would assume, the older, the more experience the better. but thats not always the case. Look at Stylez. He was a noob chef and TO ME, he has out ran everyone else ;)

Same thing as Joshkoss, He was a noob first and look at him now ;)

Ive followed josh from Hermes, then kaiser and now here.

You need Hard SPL. The ROM you are trying to flash isn't intended for your device (all devices only allow ROMs from the same vendor). Using Hard SPL will allow you to flash it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Big, big thanks to Mark for this thread. When I initially came to this forum, very recently, flashing my phone's ROM seemed like a very, very scary thing.

However, through using this thread I've successfully flashed my ROM and am very much enjoying the new experience !

What I did to start with, is to install the HardSPL, since that seemed pretty straightforward. And it was, no problem.

Next, I decided to flash a newer radio, on the basis that I wouldn't have to worry about restoring stuff etc, and it wouldn't change the way my phone looked or operated. That was again very easy, and helped my confidence.

After reading lots of threads about ROMs and features/bugs/stability/experiences etc, I decided which ROM to go with, and I took the final step of flashing the ROM itself today, and that was very painless (making sure I carefully followed all the instructions !). Restoring all my phone's contacts, files etc was a lot easier than expected, and the new ROM is great !

Thanks again Mark :D

You should only ever flash a Stock SPL AFTER flashing a stock rom back to your phone as once thats done you have no way out if anything goes wrong (which it has).

Im not sure if anything can be done I will have to let Dave Shaw take over as he might know how or if your phone can be recovered. The only thing I can think of is to try to flash a Stock T-Mobile Rom but I dont know if you can even do that since you cant get back into your phone.

Hard SPL just allows you to flash any rom on this forum. Once Hard SPL is done, just choose one you like the look of any flash it.

ohh k dat means once Hard spl is done i can flash anything.....but wat does flash consists of..iz it jus da looks or even softwares??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
No, it's the whole Operating system of the device, anything stored on the device will be lost (card is OK), and the entire system will be updated. You normally get loads of pre-installed software with the cooked ROMs. Some software can only be cooked in like Manila 2.5 / 2.6 which is ported from the HD2.

If you want themes and software, you don't need Hard SPL, just find the right CAB file and install it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
If you want to use your phone on a netwrok other that the one your are on, you will need a SIM unlock (some phones are pre unlocked - mine was).

Otherwise, don't worry about them.

Hard SPL is sometimes referred to as unlocking - just to confuse things.

CDMA Device? or not?

hi all,

How can i see if my tp2 is a CDMA device, or it isn't?

becouse i only neet to use the HARDSLP if mine is CDMA right? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
You need HardSPL whether your device is CDMA or GSM

Easiest way to tell is that GSM devices have sim card slots, CDMA dont.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
If your phone has a sim card slot then I would assume its a GSM phone but you might want to contact your provider to make sure.

Take out the phone battery and look to see what sort of model number is written in tiny letters along with the serial number etc.

It should be something like "RHODx00", where "x" is a digit, for example mine is "RHOD100".

if i remove the battery i only see 3 things:

IMEI

S/N

thnx for the answers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Yes you always need to HardSPL first if you want to flash a different rom than you are on now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dsera:
Yeah thanks. I think mine can be either GSM or CDMA because I know Verizon is a CDMA network but my phone does have a slot for a SIM thus my confusion on which SPL I should install. I'm assuming the GSM one then? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zelendel:
Use the CDMA version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dsera:
Okay now I'm really confused. If my phone is actually a GSM phone why would I use the CDMA version? I don't want to brick my phone. I've had it less than a week.

If it helps here is my phone info:

Model No: RHOD500

ROM version: 1.18.605.12

ROM date: 08/15/09

Radio version: 1.88.07WV

I really need a definitive answer before I do this. Thanks guys!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Since you are using it on a CDMA network then I will assume that the GSM network has been disabled by the firmware. In this case Im pretty sure your device is treated as CDMA and you should use the CDMA version of HardSPL.

If you want to be 100% certain you can send a message to OliNex but you might be waiting a while for an answer since he is a very busy man.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zelendel:
Its ok. Your phone is CDMA with GSM abilities, Verizon added the sim slot so you could use gsm data when out in the world. I have helped one friend with verizon to hard spl his TP2 so I am sure the right one is the cdma version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Looks like telling the difference between a GSM TP2 and a CDMA TP2 is even harder than was thought. I really think we need some sort of sticky or something to help newcomers with this, e.g. them stumbling across this forum and thinking they must have a GSM phone since it has a SIM card slot, and then flashing a GSM ROM onto a CDMA phone ?

EDIT - I found this :
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zelendel:
I agree. With WORLD CDMA phone it can be hard to tell for new people. So I will start a list here to try and help. I will search around and add more carriers to the list.

CDMA

Verizon

Sprint

GSM

AT&T

T-mobile

Ive read thru the faq and related materials and have also watched several videos on youtube, but i still have a little uncertainty in my mind. ok...i know that you must first run hard SPL to your phone, but after that is where i get lost. on the first page of this thread it says, run hardSPL then flash your rom, my question is does that statement refer to only stock roms, or does it apply to all roms, stock/carrier and cooked? and if not....what the step after hard spL? thanks SHAM
