Also if you're flashing a lot of ROMs from different chefs, read up on Task29 (and why it's beneficial for your device) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649191
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lean04:
hi, maybe this have been asked before, but i didn´t find any match with the search engine..

today i´ve received my Touch pro 2 (t-mobile), when i enter bootloader mode it says RHOD 210

SPL-0.87.0000

i wanted to know if this hard-spl is the right one for my TP2, and if energy or deepshining roms (gsm) are correct for my device...

thanks

If you read the very first post of this thread, you will be directed to the Hard SPL program with instructions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAsterOSkillio:
Hi, I am trying to install HardSPL on my Tilt 2 and I keep getting error 246 device not responding. I have read the faq and tried the manual install, but I get the same error.

I was not sure about one instruction in the faq :

If you get an error message for the Hard-SPL program that says it

cannot connect to the device, then use the cab file that the

Hard-SPL program asks you to install on device.

The reason I am not sure about this is because when i downloaded the zip file there was only an .exe in it and I do not see a cab file anywhere, but I might be misunderstanding that completely.

The only other thing I can think of is I have installed hardspl before on my old Tilt but that was different phone (older model). Is is possible that I have used up the two licenses that you get? I was under the impression that they worked on a per phone basis.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
hi,

the cab is this: http://hpcmonex.net/roms/enablerapinew.cab

do not extract it, copy it to the phone and double tap it there to install.. after that you should be able to use Automatic flash mode
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAsterOSkillio:
Thanks for the help I really appreciate it. The cab got it to work, I knew I was a little off when the faq mentioned a .cab file and I didn't see one with the hard spl download.

3 Questions:

1 - I know how install any rom, but I can't install in my rhodium. Mine is with a Verizon (damned) Rom, and I was use in USA, but its not config in Brazil. What is wrong? Where in "WiMo" (windows mobile) Register I can modify (and what program I can use)?

2 - It is a unlocked sim, but when I try install new rom, ever get an error: 504, 544, or other. What is wrong? What I can do to install new rom? (Tried with WinXP, WinVista and Win7)

3 - I know, needed a hibrid rom with cdma and gsm, but in Brazil only works with gsm. What rom i can use?

Thanx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
It makes no difference what type of network you use. Your device is and always will be a CDMA device, and, as such, can only use CDMA ROMs. Trying to load any GSM ROMs may result in a brick of your device. You should have gotten a GSM Rhodium instead of a CDMA one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DuChene:
I tried 3 roms! but problem is with hardware.

I can use like gsm phone under "Oi Telecom", but gps, weather, and others requires damned Verizon Wireless, VNP and Modem is locked with Verizon configurations.

I don't know if hardware is locked to updates or if the WiMo is locked.

Do you know how unlock hardware or Verizon Rom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
You need to use a W-Unlocked radio from to enable most of those GSM features on a CDMA device.

Cant Extract

Hello everyone of course i am a noob and i just got a Tp2 Rhodium on Sprint and my situation is i am trying to extract the Hard SPL and when i open the folder it dissapears. I am running Windows Vista...i even tried switching to 7zip and i get the same thing. What am i doing wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Turn off your antivirus software. It is giving you a false positive and deleting the file. There I'd nothing harmful in the software. Anti-virus software sees it as harmful due to the program being compressed with a packer.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Sprint is CDMA, you should not be using the HardSPL from this thread.

You should be using the one from here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp2-development/93252-hspl-unlocker-rhodium-w-hardspl.html
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DuChene:
Read my quotes and you understand my dout.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
JVH3 is right. CDMA devices are only supposed to use CDMA flashing materials regardless of the network you use them on. Rhod400/500 are both CDMA devices. As such, only the CDMA Hard-SPL, CDMA WU-Unlocked radios, and CDMA ROMs are to be used. Even if you use a GSM network, your device is and always will be CDMA.

I did hard-spl to my phone #1 (tilt 2) and now the phone does not recognize my 16GB SD card. To check that it is not a problem of the SD card, I put in the phone another 2GB microSD card from my phone #2 and still it does not recognize it either. I have also did the opposite - put my 16GB card into phone #2 and it does work.

These tests prove that hard-spl changed something in the phones ability to read from SD card.

Note also that I took SD and SIM cards out before hard-spl. Can anyone please help me to fix this as without SD card the phone is not of much use to me as I store lots of data on SD?

Your phone is device locked? Where exactly does it ask for a password?

Can you go through the EXACT procedure you used to Hard Reset your device. A Hard Reset 'should' clear the device lock.

Is it possible to flash a new ROM onto a phone with a non-working screen? My phone's screen is always black now. It used to turn on if I hit the power button on/off enough times and hit end call etc... but now it won't light up at all... seems very much like a software problem since hitting certain buttons made it work before.

*EDIT* DUH I just ran the flash utility from my PC but unfortunately, the screen still doesn't work even though flash was successful. The screen came on during and after flash, and everything worked fine. "Wonderful!" I thought... its been a week since I've seen my screen light up... But then I tested... slid the screen over to reveal keyboard, and now the screen won't come back on.

I hate my HTC Touch Pro 2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
It will flash just fine without the screen, as you have seen. What you're experiencing sounds like a loose ribbon cable for the screen. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens with sliders. If you still have time on your warranty (or insurance), send it in for repairs. Make sure to flash the stock ROM and stock SPL first, though. Otherwise, you could try your hand at taking it apart and replacing/readjusting the ribbon cable. I'm not guaranteeing that this is the problem, but it does seem that way.

bricked TP2

Hi.My friend flashed CDMA ROM on GSM TP2 and now PDA is bricked. He can acces to color screen but nothing else. Is any way to unbrick his phone? Thx.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
If you have access to the bootloader (tri-color screen), then boot into that, and wait until it says SERIAL at the bottom of the screen. Once it does, plug it into your computer. It should change to say USB instead of SERIAL. Once that happens, you should be able to flash the stock ROM for your device and start the process over again. Be more careful next time, and always remember to read before doing anything. CDMA ROMs are in the CDMA section or hosted over at PPC Geeks. XDA is generally more about GSM development than CDMA. PPC Geeks does more CDMA stuff.

I do not understand this part. do i need some short of licence before i flash HardSPL, Custom ROM Or Radios ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
No. People who need to unlock several devices need to buy it. You should be fine. Just download it, and follow the directions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
The license is generated automatically when you run the program thats why you need an internet connection present. If you try to unlock several devices from the same IP then you will require additional licenses in order to proceed but if you are only unlocking 1 phone then you will be fine.

Mark.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ampicillin:
Oh.. All Right Got it. Thanks Bro :) By the way Sorry to disturb you but License requires only one time while flashing Hard SPL ? Or the license required each time i flash Custom ROM/Radios.. ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Licenses only applies to Hard SPL. If you ever have to replace the one you are currently using, you may need to contact them to add a new license for you. Your first one is always covered with no hassle (usually). Flashing ROMs and radios will have no bearing on the Hard SPL license.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
If its a GSM model then yes you can. If you have a CDMA phone then you need a different HardSPL program (link in the first post). If you arent sure then contact your provider.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dekoning:
Oke! I have a (minor?) problem. Ill show you all here:

I want to HARDSPL my phone: it is a Rhodium (HTC TOUCH PRO 2 dutch/english device)..

But my sticker/cover says otherwise:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
You should return this immediately to whomever you purchased it from. The HTC Hero was an Android device. Your model number for a European Rhodium (Touch Pro2) should be RHOD100.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dekoning:
I bought boxed (had not been opened) from KPN. It has been repaired a couple of times by HTC (or whoever HTC have contracted).

So should I give them a call and ask for a rhodium motherboard in stead of a hero100 one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
It's obvious that it has been opened. If it hadn't then there would be a Rhodium board in there. You won't be able to do much of anything with it unless it has a Rhodium board.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] drunkles:
Hey there, I've tried searching for an issue similar to mine but I wasn't able to turn up anything. I was wondering if you fantastic folks could give me a hand here.

I've successfully installed enablerapinew.cab and have done a soft reset for that. But it seems whenever I launch HardSPL on my computer (I click Automatic since I've never flashed this phone successfully before) with my Tilt 2 Activesync'd just fine, I have maybe 1-2 seconds before it disconnects and unsyncs and the phone screen goes black. I can't reboot the phone without soft resetting it.

It seems unwise to me to progress into the other screens without actually being in a recognized sync.

So then I tried the manual approach where you load SSPL Manual onto the phone and launch it. The screen goes black. Then I go to run HardSPL manual and it is still unsynced. When I continue to progress, it lacks information on the current ROM and I cancel out.

Can someone give me some insight into what I'm doing wrong here?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
I have never owned a Rhodium but with some phones you have to disconnect activesync when you install HardSPL on the phone so this may be fine. Are you getting any errors from the HardSPL program that you run on your pc? If not then you should proceed as normal when you get the black screen on the phone. You just have to have that leap of faith that you are following the instructions to the letter and that everything will turn out fine.

Make sure that you have read all of the first post thoroughly and that you know what you are doing and then give it another try.

If you have any problems then just let us know.

Mark.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] drunkles:
I've approached the situation from different angles. I'm going to try going through it again now, ignoring the black screen. Previously I had even written down a summary of the instructions on a piece of paper to make sure I comprehended them.

I'm not really getting any errors. The problem is more like a lack of information:

The reason I got weirded out was more of a lack of recognition of my phone? I got to the screen where it basically tells you it's going to update your ROM and under "ROM you currently have" there was nothing there.

Again, major thanks for responding and helping me out here. I'm about to go through and try to flash it while the screen is black now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
The instructions for the Hard SPL tool are listed in the first post of that thread. It covers the problems you are having. There is nothing wrong with what you are describing. This is typical behavior.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JBlinky67:
I'm not really having any problems with my Tilt2 except I keep getting error messages saying I need to free up some memory. Although I have only installed google maps and the good Opera browser. That's it. I don't use half the stuff on the phone and I can't really get it off to free up some space. Will doing this "hardspl" help that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
The short answer is yes, but that's not the only thing you need to worry about.

HardSPL allows you to install custom ROMs that the carriers and OEM did not create. This gives you access to lighter ROMs that do not feature the bloatware crammed into stock ROMs. It also allows for better memory management with newer SYS builds cooked into the custom ROMs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JBlinky67:
Finding a custom ROM is mentioned in the instructions. I think I found the "Rodium ROM page", but holy crap! How the hell do I choose one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Keep flashing until you find one you like. There's a list of them in my sig along with very detailed instructions on how to go about flashing.

I'm having a problem to install HardSPL windows says that he can't access the file

Could you please advise how can I install HardSPL w/o Win7 yelling at me?

need help pls

dear mskip,

i need some advice pls.

i recently purchased tp2 from hong kong. it looks like the european version.

but has a cheaper feel. no front camera. (they said there are 2 versions with front cam and without front cam). unlocked, world phone, windows 6.1, single sim. (i guess the chinese clones have dual sim. this is not one of them)

ram 288

flash 512

cpu qualcomm 528mhz

rom version 1.19.707.2 (51489) wwe

radio version 3.44.25.27

i have 2 questions.

1. can i install a custom rom to this phone? if yes pls direct me.

2. i have used a tmobile tp2 before. comparatively this phone's screen is less sensitive. needs more pressure. if i change the rom would this issue be corrected?

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
The first thing we need to know is which model of the Rhodium you have. The way to tell this easily is to look under the battery and find the barcodes under there. Just above the barcodes will be a model number that looks like this: "RHODxxx" where the "xxx" is a three digit number. Please reply with that model number so we can direct you to the proper Hard SPL application.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kanishkapd:
thanks. it reads rhod100. please tell me how to proceed from here.:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Well, this means you have the European version that should have the front facing camera. Make sure the IMEI numbers match up on the top and bottom portion of the device. This can be done by looking for the IMEI number under the battery again by the barcodes. After you write this number down, boot the device and go to the phone keypad. Type in *#06#. Make sure the numbers match, if not, you have a poorly refurbished unit and should get your money back.

If that isn't important to you or doesn't apply, then proceed to follow all the steps in the first post of this thread.

EDIT: For anyone else who follows this conversation, I'm asking him to provide all of this to see if his device is properly refurbished or just a quick stitch together like we normally see from Chinese sellers. My suspicions come from this being a RHOD100 without a front camera.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kanishkapd:
thanks very much. luckily the imeis match. so i m proceeding with the flashing.

you guys are wonderful. really appreciate it.:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
No problem. That's what we're here for. If you need it, there is a link in my sig to a list of ROMs currently available for the Rhodium.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JBlinky67:
After trying many different ROMS, couldn't find one that allowed the physical keyboard to work normally, ie, the blue shift key changing the function of the keys on my Tilt2. Guess I'll be going back to factory ROM. To bad too because I really liked the low low memory usage with the ROMs. Problem is, I can't figure out how to do that. I ran the relocker and the Stock SPL Restore 87, but there's a step I'm missing to get the Energy ROM outta there and get back to the stock HTC Tilt2 firmware that the phone was shipped with. Any help would be appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
You have to flash the factory ROM before relocking everything.

On a separate note, most ROMs have the RHOD100 keyboard installed by default, as it is the most used version. You need to find the keyboard *.cab file for your particular model and install it after the custom ROM is flashed. Most ROM threads have an FAQ with that question answered.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mgonline:
Hi all ... A few days ago, I recovered my father's Rhodium100. I wanted to install a cooked rom but I can not complete the first step of the guide.

When i start the exe file of the hardspl all work correctly but when flash process start i wait at 0% for a few minutes then appear a communication error [262] and the process is stopped and the device reset to factory.

Can anyone help me? THANKS A LOT!!!

P.S. Active Sync work perfectly.

I do all ... I use the sspl manual exe file that i found in the old HARD SPL guide. Now my Rhodium with Energy Rom is a new phone.

Probably a bad data connection somewhere with the 262 error.

Try the sd card method.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] christopherwoods:

Total NOOB! Help with first ROM Flash

I have an At&T branded Tilt 2, which says AT&T World Phone when it boots. I purchased it "unlocked", and I use T-Mobile sim card. I am in the USA (Texas). In seeking to follow the directions for flashing Hard-SPL, I am cautioned about the different verisons, IE CDMA or not. I have tried to identify for sure which phone I have, but I am still not sure. IMEI: 358849023546656 SN:HT056LT01046 PN:99HHZ007-00. I purchased the phone because it was advertised as an HTC Touch Pro 2, which I have had for several years and loved, until the connection for charging/docking broke. Anyway, this AT&T branded version has real bad reception, and so many programs on it I don't want, I decided to try to flash a new ROM, but I have never done this before, and feel really stupid that I can't even identify for sure which phone I have. The OS version is 5.2.21887 (21887.5.0.86) Manila version is 2.5.20133329.2 ROM Version is 2.10.502.4 (93577) WWE The ROM Date is 06/29/10 The Radio version is 4.49.25.95 The protocol version is 61.44ftc.25.40H I have run the windows mobile update from the AT&T web site. Since the phone perfoms so poorly, I would like to use it to learn how to flash cooked ROMs, and see if I can improve the performance. I would like to keep the features in windows mobile like mobile office, windows media player, and outlook, but would like to loose the thirty or so add ins like facebook, all the AT&T aps, etc. I realize this is an old phone and the world has moved on to android and i phone, but I loved my Touch Pro 2, and would like to continue to rock it going forward. Any help is greatly apprciated, and I apologize if I am braking any protocol, this is the first time I have ever tried anything like this. Thanks!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
AT&T and T-Mobile are both GSM networks. Keep in mind that it makes no difference which network you use the device on. Any mods you choose to use should be for the AT&T model (Tilt 2) which you say you own. This would include keyboard mods and network provisions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] arrrghhh:
Flip the phone over, pull the battery, look near the FCC ID. Should say RHODXXX in small gray lettering. RHOD210, it's TMobile. RHOD300, AT&T.

As cajunflavored mentioned, if you have a GSM device stick to the GSM mods. If you have a CDMA device, stick to the CDMA mods.

Good luck.
