Clarification Request

I totally know I'm going to get it for asking this, but I've got a new in box Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 that I got after warranty replacement and never used. I went straight for an EVO 4G as it came out right when I got the replacement. I had hard SPL'd before and flashed rom's no problem... I can do all that...

My question is:

When you unlock the phone, does it truly become a world phone that can be used with any carrier by simply popping in your SIM? I ask only because I want to sell it and don't want to misrepresent...

Sorry again, I imagine this may have been answered somewhere in part or in whole but I have been reading for a while and can't quite get a complete affirmative on that statement.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
You need to be security unlocked and then flash a World Unlocked radio, then, to my understanding, CDMA devices will be able to use the SIM slot. There's the other WU radio thread in this section where you can pick up several flavors of them. Once you do that and security unlock it, you should be all set.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
if you have vista or windows7, you should reinstall WMDC.

if you have XP, reinstall activesync.

after that, put phone in bootloader (tricolour screen) manually and let the PC install drivers automatically.

after that retry Hard-SPL

The following quote is taken from the very top of the first post of the very first page.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] javierluz:
but it said :

if you have NOT purchased an unlocker, DO NOT open a ticket in this dept or it will be deleted.

can i use it if i havent bought a unlocker???
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
You have nothing to do with an unlocker. You need to open a new ticket and select from the drop down subject box "RhodiumW (CDMA) Hard SPL." If you donated money for the Hard SPL program, then select "RhodiumW (CDMA) Hard SPL - Paying customer."

Make sure to include your IMEI number and XDA username in the support ticket message.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
I guess you selected the SIM unlocker department... what cajunflavoredbob said is correct (though XDA username is not needed).

im using TP2 Verizon

n i failed to HSPL

everytime i try hspl, theres a pop up in TP2 "it compatible for ur device bla bla"

any idea?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
you need to use RhodiumW Hard-SPL, not plain Rhodium Hard-SPL.

Thanks OliNex, it was flawless. Donation on it's way.

Will I loose all my applications installed in the external memory after flashing my phone?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Yes, so back it up before you flash a new ROM.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] x12CHRIS18x:
I tried running the Hard-SPL program but it wont let me run it. Im running XP(yes, im in admin login). A message that says " I dont have permission"

Sent from my TouchPRO2(Sprint) running FRX07.1
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Right click, run as admin. Although logging in as admin shouldn't require this action, I've seen stranger things.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] x12CHRIS18x:
Its not giving me that option. I go Right Click/Run As../then I click on my profile(image below "screenshot1")/ then a message pops up(image below "screenshot")
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Did you try downloading the file again? That error message is one I used to get when I used XP if the file was incomplete.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] x12CHRIS18x:
Nope it still doesn't work :(
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gnassar:
Edit: Solved my issue. Changing computers seemed to have done it.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] RootaToota:
Same thing happened to me.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Yea, no kidding. It happened to you because you tried to use the GSM Hard SPL on your CDMA device, so it thinks you have a GSM device already unlocked. Do as it says in the first post and put in a ticket. cmonex normally responds to them in 48 hours or less.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] RootaToota:
I may have done that, yes. I was positive I chose the correct one.

I am not sure what to do now except wait for an e-mail.

I appreciate your help.

P.S. How are you so sure that I tried the GSM version?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
I'm sure you used the GSM version for two reasons:

1. You posted in that thread first. If you had grabbed the one from this thread first, you would have more likely than not posted here. Since you claimed in the other thread that you weren't a newbie, I took that as a sign that you wouldn't post about something in a thread it didn't come from, as a newbie is wont to do.

But mostly because

2. That's the same thing that happens to everyone else who has ever had that problem. I've been here a loooooong time. There isn't much I haven't seen in the way of these programs. Users get confused and think that just because their device accepts a SIM card, and they use it with a GSM service that this magically changes the hardware from CDMA to GSM. Well, it doesn't. CDMA devices are classified as CDMA forever - no matter which service provider you use.

P.S. Might want to remove your e-mail address. This is a public forum, and, as such, is subject to e-mail harvesters.... also trolls.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jhutchwi:
I am having the same problem on my computer, the file will not download completely, it gives me a corrupt/incomplete version which will not run. I only have one computer, any ideas?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] RootaToota:
I posted in the other thread on purpose. E-mails to the provider with no response. Reading through multiple forums with no clear answer. It was to get the attention of someone who knew what they were talking about. Forums and questions are abandoned all the time with no solution. The amount of posts someone has doesn't mean anything as most think.

I know the difference between CDMA and TDMA... but chose the "RhodiumWunlocker."

The RhodiumW is the CDMA version of this phone correct?

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

So, the first thing I ever tried was the HSPL. It never flashes. It stays on 0%. At first there was a driver issue, but I unchecked the "connect fast etc." box and the device was recognized in WMDC.

I understand that the HSPL needs to be flashed first. I then need to flash the WU radio. I can then SIM unlock it. I still have this phone sitting here after two days with no response from the seller. $23 is already paid. I have written twice already.

I work with over 60 phones currently. I also put Android on the HD2 (easy). I understand the HSPL importance.

Is there any solution for my problem? I went to the web site XDA directs you to (which also directs you back to XDA forums) and found the CDMA HSPL and tried to flash it first thing.

The unlocker I bought is called "RhodiumWUnlocker" --- IS this somehow the GSM incorrect version for my application as I have been told? I don't think so. RhodiumW is the CDMA version of the phone.

I now get Error [246] "device not responding."

After step 1: "Please make sure the radio on the device is turned on and the device is properly synced."

(Device radio is on and WMDC finds the device and shows "connected.")

Even the XTC clip hardware web site directs me to XDA. For paying customers there should be quick e-mail response and resolution.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] RootaToota:
Love getting ripped off.

Your program doesn't do anything different than what I was already having problems doing. The HSPL DOES NOT FLASH, therefore the radio WILL NOT FLASH.

I HAVE AN XTC Clip to unlock this phone after World Unlock Radio is flashed AFTER HSPL IS FLASHED.

I bought the program for nothing.

I have a customer that is waiting ALREADY A WEEK FOR YOU TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR REFUND THE MONEY.

Karma is a B(&*^, especially with me. ANYONE who has ever stole from me has gotten theirs SO quickly.

Refund my 23$.

There is a ticket filed with NO RESPONSE.

The web site is misleading and a lie.

Refund my money.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ACoolGuy:
If anyone still reads this thread, I am on my 4th TP2. Its a refurb and the program says I have run the installer before. I tried the manual method and my device freezes when I run the manual rhodium file. I have a Sprint TP2 and have put in a ticket already for this with no response. Can I get my TP2 unlocked So I can flash HARDSPL and try the latest NAND OMGB? If the OPs are not around anymore, is there anyone that has a copy that circumvents the security. I do not condone cirvumventing the security of hard working DEVs but I am out of options at this point. My last 3 TP2's unlocked with no issue. Its simply this one that is giving me issues. Thanks In Advance.

Touch Pro 2 Verizon , mobile doesn't opening

hello ,

my Touch Pro 2 Verizon , mobile doesn't opening, i have installed energy ROM , after instalation complate , mobile reseted and its not opened , its stay screen of " Touch Pro 2 " and its stoping there , i have been try to load SPL but its not loading... stay at %0 and not going to from boot loader screen. i taked 2 pics for show details , thx , plz help me i am so afraid :( my dad will kill me :( btw sorry for my bad english .
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Are you able to get into the bootloader? (Hold volume down while turning the device on. You should see a red, white, blue, and green screen.)

-- Sent from my TouchPad using Communities
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gosto_21:
Yes , i do it , and i get RED-YELLOW-BLUE-WHITE screen , i Attached Thumbnails u can see , i tryed all ROMs All hard-SPLes but installation its not keep going from %0 :(
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Sorry. The thumbnails weren't showing up for me earlier.

You need to flash the stock ROM that your device shipped with, whatever that may be. Hard SPL cannot run from the bootloader. You must be in WM in order to use it successfully. Also, without having HSPL on your device, you cannot flash any other ROMs. You have to put the stock ROM back onto your device. You can try to do a hard reset if you aren't sure of the ROM that should go on your device, but I'm not guaranteeing you that it will work, since you've tried loading customs ROMs already without following the proper steps.

Instructions on how to do a hard reset are as follows.

1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.

"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."

2. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.

3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gosto_21:
thank you a lot , i was tryed hard reset but i couldn't made it , so now i sent my mobile to a master friend , he will delete BOOT by Axe tool i think , again thanks. :)

Hardspl not working on CDMA Touch Pro 2

Please help!!!! I've been trying for the past 2 weeks now to unlock my Sprint touch pro 2 to install Energy ROM on it. I'm able to sync my phone to my PC using ActiveSync 4.5. It goes thru the process of updating my contacts, calender, etc. After that finishes, I run the RhodiumW-HardSPL_V1_10R3.exe file. I click on Flash-Hard SPL (automatic flash), I then get a preparing to flash, please press OK now and wait message. I click on ok, and after just a few seconds, I get an error message stating please make sure the device is properly synched. Please retry after syncing the device. I disable my antivirus before doing this, and have even tried a hard reset. I've verified my phone is not in airplane mode. I've tried 2 different USB cables and still no luck. I created a ticket last Friday but haven't gotten a response on it. Is it possible that this hardspl file isn't working anymore? Is there anything else I can try doing? I'm desperate!!!! Also, if I try to run the file again, I get a message saying Sorry, the Hard-SPL process closed early due to an error, or RUU errored out when attempting to flash (or you canceled it). My phone never goes off, it remains on the Sense Home Screen.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Did you try doing the manual install?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] aschaf2004:
Hey Cajun, I sincerely appreciate the quick response! I'll try the manual install again... could have swore last time I tried it, my phone just froze and never went to the black screen like it's supposed to. I'll let you know the results in a few... have to finish a call for work first :)

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 AM ----------

Ok, just tried the manual process... phone was synced to ActiveSync, I ran the file on my touch pro 2 SSPL-Manual-RhodiumW_V1_01. After about a minute, my phone lost sync and my phone was completely frozen. Had to do a soft reset on it. Am I doing something wrong on the manual process?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
The process for the manual install cleaned up a bit from the first post.

Anyone having USB connection problems with the device after it already entered SSPL mode:

1. Please copy SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe from SSPL-Manual-RhodiumW.zip (available here)

2. Copy it to the device and run it.

3. Once the screen has gone black, run the Hard-SPL package on the PC

4. Select Manual flash option.

5. *Important* - Make sure that the USB cable is plugged in and device is synced to Windows Mobile even if doing manual method.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] aschaf2004:
I followed steps 1 thru 3 completely for the manual install. My problem is on step 3. My phone never goes to a black screen, unless I have to let it sit for a long time maybe? As soon as I run the manual-rhodiumW file on my tp2, my screen freezes, I'm unable to close out or do anything on my phone. It freezes on my file explorer screen with the file still showing. Nothing seems to happen on my phone except that it freezes, and after about a minute, my PC loses sync with my phone.

OS Version: 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)

Manilla version: 2.5.20121324.1

ROM version: 2.04.651.4

ROM date: 3/6/10

From the bootloader (tricolor screen):

RHOD400

SPL-0.72.0000

I really am not sure where to go at this point, but I do appreciate your responses!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kindest:
well at least I'm not alone. having the exact same problem. I'm using Vmware with Win XP + Activesync.. everything syncs fine (can copy files back and forth) but no matter how many different ways I try to unlock I get USB error even tho it detects image version 1.21.651.4 and wants to flash 1.0000 all that happy stuff. I know in the first post it says may not be stable in VMware applications but who the heck uses windows xp anymore. Every computer I have has win 7x64.

edit ok I installed Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 x64 and got it to work. I didn't that would run on win7x64 but I was wrong.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Can't use VMWare. I've never seen anyone have any success without a full version of XP, Vista, or W7. XP x64 and Vista x64 have issues fairly often, but W7 works in either x86 or x64 without any issues. XP x86 is still the recommended operating system, however.

After it disconnects from the sync, try running the HSPL program again. It may just be that you are not getting the actual black screen. The device is supposed to freeze up. It is just supposed to do it with a black screen on.

So, try the manual install again. Wait until you hear the disconnect chime, and then try to run the HSPL program again in manual mode. Let me know what that does.

bootloader help preventing possible brick

not sure who to bother with this general question and placing here since I'm using HardSPLOliNex0.85. I probably should've noticed that this thread is in the CDMA section before posting, apologies.

on Rhod100

I didn't update SPL since I was attempting to start testing OMGB NAND.

I couldn't install LK from SD card since mine is 4GbHD, so tried to flash LK from RUU/Win7

:eek: so here is where I have to admit that little experiment may have been stoopid.

-still getting into original bootloader but with an automatic power-cycle loop

-still able to connect via USB, but no active sync since device wants to restart

I'm thinking that I'll re-flash the unit using a "non-HD" SD card, BUT wondering whether an update to SPL from windows/ruu might fix this bootloader loop?

...asking before bricking, thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
First, let me warn you that you are in the CDMA thread, and you have a GSM device. Don't flash anything meant for a CDMA device onto your device unless you need a new paperweight.

Second, I'm not entirely sure what it is you're trying to put on there, but you might want to try doing a task29 first to clear the NAND.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] igor45:
yes i did notice that this is in the CDMA section (see edit in post) and yes I won't flash any CDMA files to a GSM device...

can this post be deleted by OP please

before it annoys/confuses too many of you?

thanks, sorry.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Heh, no problem. I've been away from the Rhodium section for way too long. I didn't realize that you guys had it running from NAND already. I thought that would never happen.

In any case, after rereading the post, it appears to be a power cycle issue commonly caused by a low battery. Generally, putting the battery in the device first and then plugging it in will allow it to charge for five minutes or so before it actually boots.

If that isn't the case, then I would next try using a 4GB non-HC card. If you use the non SDHC cards, you have a more likely chance of the flash going through.

Lastly, the other thing I can suggest that sounds silly, but has worked before for some people is to put your device in the freezer for 30 minutes or so, and try flashing again. Cooling it down like that shrinks the board connections and helps out if you have anything loose or broken off inside at critical solder joints.

Outside of those things, I'm afraid I have no other suggestions for you.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Your model number is RHOD500, which is the Verizon Wireless version. This is a CDMA device. You can only flash CDMA ROMs, radios, and SPLs. Do not use anything meant for GSM devices, or else you will risk bricking your device. The Verizon model is a world phone with the ability to use a SIM card from a GSM provider. It is still a CDMA device, even though it has this function. Only use CDMA software.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Head over to PPC Geeks. They do way more with CDMA devices than XDA does. XDA does more with GSM devices than anything. I don't have any CDMA devices, so I don't know which ROMs are even available.

thanks man ! i totally appreciate it :) . so all i do is load a cdma rom on it ? no need for anymore hard spl right?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
You have to have Hard SPL already installed on the device, which, by looking at the previous post, you already have it.

If you are asking about loading Hard SPL each time, no, you install Hard SPL one time, and you're set for life on custom ROMs.
