Leave them in the .cab and put the .cab on you're phone and run it.

"It should normally work fine, since you get a single licence for free."

what do you mean? are you saying at&t htc tilt 2 stock phone have a license already? and i can go ahead and do a hard spl to install chef roms?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
What I mean is, when you run HardSPL, the process of running it asks the developers' website for a licence, and it gives you one free licence. If you've run it before, or for some reason it gets confused and *thinks* you've already used the licence, then it wil refuse to run. As per the HardSPL thread, you can ask (for *free*) for an additional 1-2 licences for personal use.

So basically you should be able to go ahead and just run HardSPL, and it should work (with your free first licence). Then you can install whatever cooked ROM or official ROM you like :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zstanczak:
I downloaded the link to this .cab, put it in the main directory (no sub folder, etc.) and then re-ran "hard flash", still there is nothing. I keep getting the same errors as before... (sync with activesync or win. mobile....) click okay then the same error (try installing this .cab file at this link then re-sync and run hard flash).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tainle:
i did what you said and give it a hard-spl and hopefully there was a license for it already, i did run the hard-spl and at the very end a small pop-up say "congratulation..... and ask for donation". so i guess it was successful and i dont need another license.

i went to tricolor screen and it read:

RHOD300 32M MI-BC

SPL-0.85. Olinex :))

MicroP(LED) 0x0A..

...

...

...

and according to the guide i did it. so does that mean someone flashed hardspl and obtained a license for this one before? because i did went into tricolor to see if it is olinex but it wasn't. some weird number "spl-0.88" something like that.

what does all that mean stevie?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lennyz1988:
So if I understand you installed the .cab on you're phone. And you tried automatic flash?

Did you try the manual flash?

Sync you're device with you're pc. Extract this file and put it on you're phone. Then run the file on you're phone. Then select manual flash

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
When you run HardSPL it automatically gets the necessary licence. If you didn't have a problem then that means it ran through ok and got the licence. If someone did a HardSPL from your computer before it probably wouldn't have worked.

Yes, because it says 0.85 OliNex it means you now have HardSPL. The 0.88 version you had before was a stock SPL.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zstanczak:
Yes, I tried the manual flash as well. I also downloaded the link that you provided, but that did not work either. It had a run time error, it was not a valid 32-bit file. Anyway, I have tried the Hard flash and the manual flash, i have tried to put the CAB file in the \ (root) file, and re-ran the hard flash and manual flash, still nothing. Im going to try replacing the cable first and see if that helps, but I would be fine with donating to finding a fix to this issue, because it has become a pain in the neck. If anyone else knows any other possible fixes please let me know. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lennyz1988:
You get a runtime error because you didn't put it on your phone and run it on you're phone...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zstanczak:
Okay, i fixed it. I feel dumb. I was clicking and draging the CAB file into the root directory, i didnt actually go into the phone and find the file and "run" it. How I realized it, I looked up the file extensions on google to see what opened the two files in the .cab file (one was a 000 and i forget the other), and it said windows CE opened the 000 file. it then clicked in my head to open it THROUGH the phone not the folder on the computer. Anyway, thanks for the help guys. I flahed deepshining and like it pretty well.

SIM unlocking

Do I get it right, that SIM unlocking a Rhodium is NOT yet that easy?? I have found this "Request a code" method only.

ok i'm sorta new to this, i just got my touch pro 2 a few day ago and i love it, i used to have the G1 and was constantly flashing different roms, radios, etc. cause i didn't like this stock rom, but the touch pro 2 does have a pretty smooth stock rock with plenty features. But i'm curious about the roms on this device, i've seen a few vids that look nice but most of them were old like around november, and i read a few channel logs that seemed to have tons of features. What i wanna kno is:

is it really worth it on this device?

What's the best(stable) rom out now?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lennyz1988:
I don't think you will get an answer on this. Because there is not a best rom. But if you check you're pm I will give you my opinon.

Cannot flash from SD card ? /Cookie version findings..

I followed the instructions from post 1 "Flashing Via MicroSD Card" - no renaming needed.

no joy.

it does not work, when entering boot loader, it says no file found, or similar message for a second, then switched to serial.

I hate to boot to the slow windows-bloat just to flash, I'd like to be able to flash from Linux - or SD.

The cookie version compared to Manila 2.5 - (both 21898) uses significantly more RAM, and it also seems that more is leaking over time.

BTW: please remove "reset" button to start menu, it's enough with the feature that appears when power button is depressed for 3 sec. having reboot right in the main menu, is just a sad reminder that Microsoft made this OS :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nrmcintosh:
I am obviously a newb and did a hard spl on my touch pro 2 this morning. Instructions were straight forward and everything seemed to go fine. Donated after. However, I like the previous poster am getting the same error message (update utility). I do have vista on the comp so maybe that is the problem but I dont have the option to try a computer with another operating system. Is there another option? Any help would be greatly helpful.

Thank you

When flashing different ROMs, will all information be erased?

Contacts, sd contents, etc???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Contacts, Yes.

SD Card, no.

Only what's on the Phone, not the Card.

Try Active Sync, Microsoft MyPhone or one of the commercial Backup software options.

Personally I store everything on my Card, and Sync my contacts with my PC and Google Apps Mail.

tmobile my faves and roms

I just got my TP2 today and i installed a rom, but i noticed that the MyFaves were gone, is there a way to put them back on?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Your Favourite people you mean ? You will have to put them back manually, or you can use a program like "BackFavPeople Up" to save them before you flash (then restore after). See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4253260

stuck in boot loader

Plugged in phone to sync (Energy Leo rom running on the Today screen) and the phone reset and went into Bootloader while plugged in. After soft reset phone goes right back into bootloader. CANNOT hard reset at all - nothing happens.

After flashing ROM (any ROM) from SD card and via USB, still can't hard reset and when I soft reset, the phone will not load the OS and goes straight into Bootloader.

Did Task 29 from Agent_47's post.

Anyone have this issue?

Tilt 2 - Energy Leo 23559
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kmanuel74:
If you ran task 29 you will also need to load a radio, as it usually erases it. After running task29, manually put it in bootloader, and if you did not run a radio with task29, flash a radio now. After flashing radio manually put back in bootloader and flash rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wspaw:
Thanks for the quick response, but, no luck. Goes right back into bootloader, prompting me to update the image or cancel.

Any way to hard reset w/o the call and end keys?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wspaw:
Now when I flash anything (ROM or mtty) the progress bar reaches 100% and the phone no longer vibrates after the finish. It just resets to the tri-color screen and says either USB (if connected) or serial.

May be bricked?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Task 29 does not erase the radio, your existing radio will still be there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wspaw:
It was still there. Flashed a new one anyway, but nothing happens after flash, just right back to bootloader.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Sounds like something is broken in the boot process. I wonder if it can be fixed with mtty ? But I don't know anything about how to use that. Or it might be worth trying HardSPL again on it ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wspaw:
Thanks, but, flashed HSPL again. Sounds like a hardware issue, as I can't even do a hard reset???

Solved by using PSAS to task 8.

How did you get it to boot after you flashed the stock rom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ktmantey@yahoo.com:
i once had a problem like that on my fuze. it did not load to a rom after flashing ... it took me like a month to figure out that one battery terminal was not having contact with the battery. try chekcing that it might help you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wspaw:
Turns out I did drain that battery over the entire process. I believe the task 8 is a reflash of bootloader, though I'm not sure. It worked, however...

Thanks, all for your help.

ok, i wanna thank you for this simple tutorial for the TP2, i have T-mobile and was successful with the hard spl and rom, but i have a strange prob.

My friends have the same phone, one of them is with at&t and the other is with sprint, and they wanted me to install the spl and rom on theirs, and i kno i couldn't do it on mine cause an error popped up saying i could only use one device per comp, so i decided to use their comp.

Everything was goin well, connected them to the windows mobile center i checked to make sure they were fully sync'd, both of their batteries were at 100%, and i downloaded the specific spl for each device, and when i tried to use the automatic flash i got an error saying that the device wasn't sync'd(eventhough windows mobile center says i was), so i tried manual, got the same error. I used every usb port on the comp, but i kept gettin tha same error, can anybody help cause i never had this prob with my T-mobile device

So if anybody can please help i would greatly appreciate it

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
*If* your phone is a GSM one, and not a CDMA "Worldphone" then yes, that is the right place to get HardSPL.

Yes, if you have HardSPL, you can still flash an official ROM if you like.

problems with Rhodium ROMs and Activesync

I have the following problem with my HTC Rhodium. Here is the description, I hope someone will be able to help me.

- I have installed a ROM with a beta version which has just expired (I did not realized it was due to expire when I Installed it)

- I am trying to install another ROM but I cannot astablish an Activesync connection. I guess this is because the software has expired.

- So I cannot install the ROM and I cannot access the software.

Any hint?

many thanks in advance for help..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zelendel:
Boot your phone in boot loader ( with phone off hold the volume down button and turn it on) you will be able to flash from there.

Finally got through to Hard SPL. I used one of my machines with XP Blac 8.1, disabled Avira anti virus. Took 2 tries. First try got the common error, second try it went through very easily. Hope you all get through soon enough. Try a pure XP machine and see if that helps, of course anti-virus disabled.

Expired beta rom. stuck!

My beta version just expired, and all I get is a message saying it's expired! Is there any for me to run pim back before I reflash the phone? I have a rodhium 2/gsm. Thx

Sorry if im offending, being in the wrong thread or simply being totally ignorant when it comes to ppc's. Thx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Sorry but I don't think you can. You can get the phone into bootloader (hold Volume Down and press reset), connect to your PC and then flash a new ROM. But now that it's expired, I don't think there's a way to boot it to do a backup - unless anyone knows different ?

First of all great instructions.. but i have a big problem... I had two touch pro II's 1 was to be exchanged and 1 was new. I never flashed a tp2 before so i wanted to test it on my phone i was returning so i did that... not knowing that i wasnt gonna be able to use it again... i have sent emails and set up a ticket and its taking forever i have tried to going to 6 different apartments and places with internet and using different computers but they alll say that i have used it before its very frustrating. the first time i did it successfully i didnt even use my simcard and it worked. can someone tell me like how to get around this because somehow no matter where i go it tells me i have done it before how do i get around this???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Sorry but you can't get around it, only by contacting the developers as you've done, and asking for some extra licences (this is free, but you'll need to wait for a response). *Or* you can choose to donate if you want, then that should mean it works straight away - e.g. if you're in a hurry.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gabriel713281:
Did they put something on my new phone so it wont be flashed without a license? how? i went to someone elses computer?! how are they tracking my progress?! Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zelendel:
The only thing you can do is wait for them to get back to you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
I don't think any of us here, apart from OliNex (the developers) know exactly how the licencing works. It's probably got something to do with the phone's IMEI, IP address, and who knows what else. It is odd that a new phone (not a refurbished one) would show this problem, especially trying out different computers. It seems there's something about your specific phone that is showing up on their system as if it's been HardSPL'd before ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] eugenile:
ok guys

i have an ATT Tilt 2, I was trying to apply hardspl

i did it before twice with the T-mobile version (htc touch pro 2) with ease and no problem.

this time I was having problems.. i thought maybe the phone was broken since I bought it on ebay.

I sometimes got it to start but would stay at 0%, by booting to the bootloader.

Applied the patch for Tilt 2s. But it would give me the whole commercial license issue stuff.

But I fixed it. This program is programmed well, they knew I already used it twice.

I paid via PAYPAL then ran it again and BAM.. works!

I do not regret paying, these guys worked hard, and hell I already did 2 other phones previously.

So if you ave having problems, and your story is similar to mine, dont be greedy, pay your dues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Sounds like you had two problems. The first problem you fixed with enablerapinew.cab, which you need for Tilt 2s, as you say. Then you ran into a licening issue, which as you say can be fixed instantly with a donation (but can also be fixed for free if you send in a ticket, though you may have to wait).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jrange1:
i am having the same issue as you.

i did pay the donation'

i have been waiting for a response for 4 days now and nothing,

i do believe these guys are the best but i need to start using the phone the way it was made for and not by tmobile limits.

i guess i have to wait for a response then.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] KevinAlbrecht:
HardSpl worked for my tilt2

I have attached the enablerapinew.cab which allowed me to run the Hardspl and make a donation. (Somehow) the developers have a very saavy licencing application, and it looks to have worked!

Now to get going on a ROM...

HTH.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gabriel713281:
I paid my dues and to my suprise it worked right away it couldnt have had anything to do with my phones imei number because i never used it before it was a new phone... the only last possibility is that i tried it with a license that has already been used and since i did that it sent my new imei or something to their servers and blacklisted it untill i either A bought a new license or B got it from them... which i doubt they are still doing... But these guys really have me stumped no matter where i would go it would tell me i used it before... I used different computers and different internet service providers different laptops different sim cards NOTHING WORKED!! these guys are serious about this program.

and what does the enablerapi.cab do? I remember using it for my wing, but i went (and regretted going to) android with the g1 (since they gave it to me for free because of countless insurance claims).

I'm having an issue trying to flash from my microsd card. I have flashed many times using the USB cable and Windows Device Center without a problem. The last rom upgrade I performed made the USB port not work with Windows Device Center or ActiveSync, so I thought I would try flashing from the microsd card and this is my issue:

1) Microsd card is formatted FAT32

2) ROM image in root of card is named: RHODIMG.nbh

3) Entering boot loader & message pops up saying no "no image file" and quickly goes away leaving the tri-color screen with the word "serial" at the bottom"

4) nothing else is on the microsd card

What am I doing wrong? (yes, I performed a search before posting and return no results)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
What sort of problems are you having ? You won't be able to flash a custom/cooked ROM until you install HardSPL. If you are having trouble with HardSPL, post in the sticky thread for that.
