Att tilt 2 rom flashing thread - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I am making this thread because I just bought a ATT Tilt 2 yesterday and i've been doing my best to flash this phone but it wont work! I know how to flash because I've done it plenty of times with the Fuze, but this phone keeps freezing when it gets to the percentage screen.
I've tried both methods, Via USB and Via Micro SD....
When I did the USB, everything goes fine until the percentage screen on my phone and the computer screen show up, then it stays on 0% until I get an error messages telling me to unplug my phone and retry.
When I tried Micro SD, at the bootloader screen it stays on the "Loading..." forever, it never goes to "Checking"...
So i'm thinking AT&T has something to do with this? They've found a way for customers to be blocked from flashing another rom? Please tell me there is a way out of this...i've seen other users with ATT Tilt 2's claiming they've flashed their phones...but I know I can't be the only one with this problem.

I take it you have already put Hard SPL on the device?
Plenty of other people have put custom ROMs on their Tilt 2. So it's nothing AT&T have done.

HardSL
It wont let me even put HardSPL....it wont let me do anything period... it just freezes.
The percentage screen stays at zero percent. So i'm lost.

Have you installed the enablerapinew cab? That's all I had to do in order to get HardSPL to go through on my Tilt2

I have a tilt 2 and I am running NRG Photon 10/17 ROM and loven it, but is was not easy to get to this point. My main issue was with HardSPL. I had to go through a couple extra steps in order for it to work. The first issue was a connection error, i followed the directions in the error message and went to the appropriate link.
The second issue is on the flashing page. "anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL without functional USB port ("ERROR 260 CONNECTION" RUU error), you can get SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe from attachment in this post, copy it to the *device* itself and run it. then once the screen is showing black, run the Hard-SPL package on the PC and select Manual flash option. please do not use Manual flash option for any other purposes
another reason for USB connection error: if your PC takes too long to load the drivers (if your device is in bootloader for the first time it needs to do that), then if RUU times out, but device is still in black screen, just leave it there and re-run the Hard-SPL package when driver installation finishes - you must use Manual Flash option in such a case. I recommend to wait for Windows to take its time searching for the USB drivers, then click Next in RUU only when they are installed.[/I]
These helped me out and all is good. Hope this helps you as well. If not, good luck my friend.

That was my first step as well. I did not have the link handy...

try this. http://rhodium.htc-unlocks.com/ works like a treat and although I paid for it, I am also Security unlocked.

HardSPL... 0%?!

Hiya XDA
I've been trying all evening to get any HardSPL onto my Diamond without success, everytime I try I get to 0% and after a few minutes "error [260] connection" and the phone keeps its' black screen until I soft-reset it.
Can anyone help me get a hardspl onto my phone? I would really like to try WM6.5. I've read many SPL-guides already, so you don't have to point me to them
(even that on modmydiamond.info)
Thanks in advance!

Here's the Tutorial and here's the Troubleshooter. They're both stickies. Please search and read before posting.
Thanks for the quick response, but as I said. I've read all stickies and guides, and it's still stuck at 0%.

Did you let your device sync with Activesync/Windows Mobile Device Center?
Try recreating the sync pairing.
Try uninstalling the device from PC's Device Manager and reinstalling it and then try recreating the sync partnership.
Try another USB port.
Yes, yes, yes and yes. I even tried doing it on my laptop.
Edit: I even tried flashing down to 1.93 with HTCs official stuff, no success there either

Another USB cable?
Try manually entering bootloader and connect to PC. The label should say USB not Serial and try from there.
esset,
May I ask what branding/model of the Diamond you own?
I own a pure AT&T model just purchased a week or two ago. And, so far I've also had almost zero luck flashing it. I'm moving from an AT&T Tilt which I've flashed so many times, the USB port is starting to wear down. I've also got a lot of experience with many small computing devices with all types of weird programming and flashing routines, so I'm not a newbie. But the AT&T Fuze just seems to be locked in a way that has yet to be covered by the good XDA folks here. Heck, I can't even dump the shipped ROM off the device to send it here for checking out by the developers. All I've been able to do is flash an odd 1.90 HardSPL that seems to have locked the phone even tighter than before. YUCK!
If you're in this same scenario, I'd suggest patience. Eventually someone with enough knowledge of these devices will be able to help out. It is frustrating though, after flashing the other phone so many times with so many different configurations to be held back on the new one.

You might find this odd. The down-volume + back arrow key combo doesn't seem to work with some of the new versions of the Diamond. I've tried on two of them, and neither respond to this key combo at startup.
Many times entering the bootloader is not a problem though. The routine does cause the phone to go there. And, I can get it there by other means. Just not via the boot up sequence. This tells me there is something very different about these models....
I tried starting and flashing directly from the bootloader (showing USB), and the phone got to show a percentage field (the one when you are flashing) but same here, is constantly at 0% until the flashing utility times out and tells me to reboot my phone and guides me through steps if it has been semi-bricked (bootloader is the volume down + softreset, right?)
I bought my phone in the first shipment to Sweden, it's not locked to any company, bought it without subscription
Else I just flashed it up to latest ROM from htc.com (still no success with HardSPL ) to 2.03.413.2 SVE (02/06/09)
Radio: 1.09.25.23
Version: 52.51.25.26H
ninjaedit: (In the four-colored bootloader thing it says DIAM100 64M SPL-2.03.0000 MicroP-Diam (LED) v11)
Tell me if you need any other info :]
Here's another indication that the new phones are different. I've copied a DIAMIMG.nbh file to both a flash card inside the phone, and to it's internal memory. (sorry, but the thread on that location is confusing on what memory. I assume like most phones of the past that it's supposed to be the flash card, but "internal memory" is not a flash card.) But, the loader screen always responds with "no image file" when it's called up. So, is there a different name expected now?

Hi uhm, was that answer aimed for me or to scottwilkins?
If it was for me, is it possible to flash the mobile directly from the memory-card (or internal flash card)? Else if you mean the "manual make-the-screen-black-and-go-to-bootloader" my screen just goes blank, as when you do it with the RUU, and just stops there. Also seems like it looses the connection via USB doing so too. And flashing through the bootloader directly (volume down at softreset) shows the progressbar on the phone, but steadily at 0% (when trying to flash).
search and download
a) SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe (Desktopprogram)
b) EnterBootloader.exe (ATTENTION: it must be that for diamond, normaly find by flashing-tools)
connect with active sync and copy EnterBootloader.exe to pda-root.
start SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe on desktop and follow all but reset (DONT RESET)
start EnterBootloader.exe on pda
if bootloader-Mode and USB-Label than start flashing
wait for response

That program makes the Fuze screen just turn black and do nothing. Cool, huh
Seems that the newer stock ROMS might be blocking something... hmmmm....
Well, crap!
I just figure out where my whole problem is...
The Fuze (my phone) = The Raphael
NOT the Diamond.
I just scrolled down the forum list, saw a phone that looked like mine and went there. DOH!
I feel like a total dumb-ass.
If I'd scrolled just a bit farther down the XDA forum, then I'd seen the Raphael phone.
Holy Cow! Go ahead, say it, I deserve it...
Thanks for all the help otherwise. It was a learning experience for me....

Thanks, but that file takes me into the bootloader, and when I start flashing the percentage is still at 0% until the software times out. Same as before, just the usual "going-into-the-bootloader".

Please Help;)

Okay, fairly new to the site. Flashed my phone with NFSFAN's Rom, [email protected] up, no internet connection available (I know this is talked about alot!) SO...while I sit here, I have a Gazillion screens up from this site trying to find a step-by-step guide on how to do this properly..I have read a TON, but every guide I find has a step or two that another guide does not talk about...read about flashing the ROM three times to get it right, but is there a link I'm just missing? And how do you run "customizations"? When do you hard reset as opposed to run the bootloader screen? Sorry for the long post but I LOVE this ROM and want it to work right, but feel I'm not doing something correctly...THANK YOU FOR ANY RESPONSES IN ADVANCE!!!!
Oh, btw, I have a Sprint Vogue
unlock with coke 2.31
enter bootloader mode
plug into computer
run RUU file that comes with the download of NFSFAN's rom
should go to a gray screen that has a progress bar
wait til it gets to 100%
screen will say finished on computer and phone will reset...u can now unplug
run the set up...follow instructions on phone screen
when it says tap to begin it will immediately launch a screen that says customizations, then it will load a bunch of stuff just wait.
after it is done the phone will restart...let it boot up
after it has booted hard reset: hold down send end and reset hole, follow onscreen
repeat phone setup and let customizations run again. phone will reboot like before
now your phone is ready to go.
no need to flash it 3 times that is total BS.
Thank you very much my man! You just saved me! BTW, do I have to disable the usb on active sync...i've read that a couple times. Again, thank you.
To get data,all you need is to install carriers cab after flash.I think NFSFAN even attached them in his thread.

I Need Help Fixing my Bricked TP2

When I turn on my phone, it starts in the Tri-Color bootloader mode and on the screen it shows that there are errors with it. It was flashed with the Olinex HardSPL but it's not saying Olinex any more. When I attempt to flash a ROM or revert to stock SPL or to flash HardSPL back onto it, it opens the % indicator but stays at 0%. I also have tried to flash via SD card but when it recognizes the SD it shows "Loading" but never gets past that.
Is there any way to manually reset the SPL or reload it so that I can get past the error?
When I turn it on without being attached to USB, it says "Serial" at the bottom but changes to "USB" when I connect it to my PC. Is there a way to update it through a Serial connection?
Can someone help walk me through how to get my phone working again? I'd really appreciate some help.
just flash the stock tmobile ROM.
I would run the enablerapinew.cab that Olinex puts out and then try and reload the hardspl back onto the phone. Once you have the hardspl reestablished you should be able to rewrite a rom to the phone.

I can't get the phone to boot into Windows or I would just run Olipro's CAB and be done with it. I'm stuck at the bootloader and can't get past it.
ahh so true.
I had trouble flashing the HardSPL and I just kept doing it until it took. It would sit at 0% then error out. Make sure that computer has fresh boot, no antivirus running etc and keep trying to get it to take the flash. Not much else you can do. You might want to ask in the Rom section or open a ticket at Olinex website. http://support.htc-unlocks.com

It's not the computer that's the problem, it's the phone, though I don't have AV software or anything like that anyways. I have tried is on 2 computers at home and 1 at work.
I tried to flash a new ROM via SD card... all it said was "Loading" forever (I left it on "Loading" for over an hour with no change). I left it attempting to flash HardSPL over night and it was still at 0% in the morning.
The SPL is not working right and I can't flash a new SPL without already having a working SPL.
I got this working. Olipro got back to me from my his support.htc-unlocks.com trouble ticket site.
I had to use MTTY to run the command "SET 16 0". Then I was able to get my phone to reboot and it was then able to load the stock T-Mobile ROM. From there, I was able to flash HardSPL back onto it, then a custom ROM.
Thanks Olipro!

How to flash my HTC Touch pro 2 (sprint)

Hi everyone well I'm new to the flashing and dont want to jump any steps as this could possible brick my phone...
I've been having some problems with flashing as i cant find a step by step to flashing my HTC TP2. I've managed to do the RhodiumW Hard-SPL package but after trying to flash to some custom RUU's the installation seems to go fine its not until the phone first boots up, that's when the phone just hangs on the HTC splash screen
From there i cant do anything other then boot up to the tricolor bootloader screen and re-install the original 2.04.651.4 update!
can someone tell me what im missing to be able to flash my HTC correctly, or at least point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance!!!

Hey Tommy many thanks for the post. I just upgraded my phone and peeling through the information overload, however you direct link does not work for step 1. I want to make sure that I am running the correct piece of software that you recommending. Could you please list the title for that file?
Nevermind I was able to find it via a mirror site.
Back into lurker status for now
Thanks
alright so i was able to install they mightyrom on my phone that went well my phone didnt freeze and everything started the way it should have.
but does that mean i can now flash my phone to other for example "leo cell" or Bxsteez Rhodium" if not how do i get to that point cuz when ever i flas them to they just freese on the white splash screen with the HTC logo in green letters!!
Thanks!
If you have installed Hard SPL then use the sd card method.
1. Format the sd card FAT32 ( they come FAT default) and copy the rom's .nbh file onto it. Rename to Rhodimg.nbh .
2. Insert sd card back into powered off Rhodium. Go into bootloader by pushing down volume and power.
3. If you did it properly and Hard SPL is on your phone then it should say to press power to update os...
If you aren't sure if you have Hard SPL then go to bootloader without the sd card in there, it should say SPL - 0.85.Olinex if you have Hard SPL, anything else won't register the flash file.
Cheers...
OK I was able to update to Winmo 6.5 with no issues....but here is my questions with regards to the Rhodium_W Hard-SPL
I was attempting to run it and it never gets pass 0%...In reading the details of the install instructions it reads
"the device needs to be connected to Activesync or WMDC via USB cable. and it must not be in Flight/Airplane mode (i.e. the phone part should be on).
3) internet access is required as the program checks online for updates and for the license."

I think you should ask this in the hard spl thread in the cmda section...That is the place for those questions Assuming that you have a cdma phone because you did not mention it. Otherwise check the hard spl thread in the gsm section.
Heading that way thanks for the directions mate!

Did you try flashing the stock ROM? It's always a good idea to try that if you think there's no hope. It flashes everything.
Also, did you try task29?

Since You Can Boot Into Bootloader You Can Check Your SPL Version From There Check It Out & See What Is & Post What It Is Here.

Try Booting Phone Into Bootloader Screen Then Plug In Usb Cable Make Sure It Says Usb At The Bottom Of The Phone Screen Then Try To HardSpl Again.
Try Installing This Cab On Your Phone --> http://hpcmonex.net/roms/enablerapinew.cab Then Run HardSpl Again.
kk thank you, i will try. will post results as soon as i get them. Thanks again. kudos to you!
If your phone does not have the HardSPL on it, and it will not boot properly, you need to get it back into bootloader mode, wait for 'USB' to appear on the screen, and flash the stock ROM, then try again with the HardSPL program.
EDIT: To see what version of Rhodium you have, remove your battery and look at the sticker under there on the phone. you should see something like RHOD100, RHOD200, RHOD300, RHOD400, or RHOD500. RHOD100-300 is GSM. RHOD400 & 500 is CDMA. Make sure you flash the correct ROMs, radios, and HSPL for your device or you run the risk of bricking it.
