Problem with HSPL - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hello, I just got my Sprint version of Pro2 and I followed the unlocking procedures and did everything when I got a message that reads something like "it appears you have already unlocked a handset, but if this is your first time unlocking a phone, please make sure your radio is ON and try again."
So I have two questions: first, where is Radio? And second, I've tried to unlock my phone with three different computers - how come I got the same message on each machine?
Thanks for looking!

bumpppppppppppp

As per the instructions of the CDMA HardSPL thread, you should set up a free support ticket on the HardSPL site, here, so they can solve your licensing issue. Hope that helps

That was easy.
Thanks Dave.

Unlocking Cingular 8525

I spent a whole day yesterday learning to unlock my new Cingular 8525. Then I tried it using HTC Hermes SIM Unlock v2a, and I followed closely discussion threat between crazyut and pof (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-286248.html), but I failed!
Steps as follows: I directly run RUU until ERROR 114 appeared. Then tried to copy HERM_Unlock_v2.exe to the phone, but found that I need to install the software to enable transfer of file from computer to the phone, so I install it. Unfortunately, the installation failed. In Device Manager there is item Windows CE USB Devices, with sub-item: HTC USB Sync(!). There is message: This device cannot start (Code 10). Then I tried uninstall and reinstall, but did not work.
So I use another computer. It can be installed, and connect the phone to this computer, and transfer the file. But I could not run it (I double click it; and also tried to run from: Start, Run, but no response).
Question: (i) Can the phone still be unlock (since the process was interrupted), (ii) Can I continue the process using another computer?, (ii) how can I transfer the file to the phone that can be executed, so I can complete the process.
Appreciate your help.
what bootloader do you have??? one of the first lines in the hermes unlocking thread is this:
It can be used in all HTC Hermes devices, the only restriction is that the device must have bootloader version 1.04
How to enter bootloader can be found here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets
there is no need to post the same question in different threads. I have deleted your other post in regards to this matter. Next time make a post in the device specific thread
Many thanks finally a response to my posting (noted also your note regarding second posting - thanks). My bootloader is 1.06.
My understanding is that I can downgrade the bootloader from 1.06 to 1.04 using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program, is this correct?
During the process, there is already a message "ERROR 114" as mentioned in Install instruction.
as an FYI you would have gotten a faster response in the hermes upgrading board.. but here is a post you need to read about downgrading your bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284401
when you follow those instructions make sure you follow #3 as stated.. if its not done as stated you will not accomplish this correctly...
Thank you, I will check and read the info from the link you mention. I.ll get back to you later. Thanks
I have googled the DownGrade_SPL.rar for more than a couple of hours, but could not get free file. All website that I found, we should pay, and some of them $35 - is this really the case? Is there website that can provide free file? Thanks
you dont need the downgrade....
first flash your phone cingular 1.6 bootloader phone with this..it will change your cingular phone to bootloader 1.4..both files are from cingular roms which makes you abe to downgrade your phone from cingular 1.6 to the 1.4 bootloader..understand??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277664
Then follow instructions from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282073
after that you're phone should be unlocked and supercid...
it works.. i have done it to my cingular phone.. just read read and read some more.. everything you need to know is adressed on this website....

thanks for pointing that out.. i COMPLETELY forgot about that... my head was definitely not in the game last night... Thanks
Many thanks to Shogunmark and Honestable for the advise. I have open the link and it seems that I need to study that first before proceed with thyis great work (e.g. I need to understand how to flash the cingular 1.6 bootloader with ... what file? -apologies for not understand some jargons). Let me also go through the information in the links. And I will get back to you, if I need further clarifications.
Many thanks
Re: Unlocking the 8525
Why not just call Cingu;lar and ask for the unlock code. If your a customer for more than three months, they have to give it to you!

cause this does more than unlock sim on the phone, this also unlocks the cid on the phone as well...
Hi! I made it!
I learn much from the process. I found the forum has been an exellent site for consultation and discussions. Thanks much to Shogunmark.
All the best for the New Year!

Flashing HTC S620 to WM6

Feel free to beat me to death with my own mouse if this Q was already obviously answered somewhere, but I have searched these forums and failed to find a definitive answer on the matter....
I downloaded the WM6 beta ROM (RUU_Excalibur_TMO_US_1.20.531.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Test), and have CID unlocked my device via Gsmliberty.com. My question is...do I need to install the updated bootloader (RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe) on my S620, or is this bootloader only necessary for the Dash?
I want to make certain I am doing this right, in fear of bricking my device.
Answers?
if your bootloader is wrong the upgrade will give you an error message and restart your phone
The S620 is running bootloader 1.11.405.4
Just for kicks I ran the bootloader upgrade (which actually downgrades to lower version) and I got a (206)Connection Error.
I'm pretty sure you do need it. Like stated above, if you get an error when you try the upgrade, the answer is YES!!
You'll definitely need it if you try to go back...
-Mc
But how can I install the RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe bootloader? When I attempt do so I get the Connection Error. I launch the setup wizard, my Screen gets the rainbow bar with the word USB appearing at the bottom. At that point the installer seems to hang or timeout and I get that blasted connection error. Even the device appears stuck and I have to remove the battery to bring it back to a state of consciousness.
Am i doing something wrong?
you really should read the available info regarding this subject before you attempt to do something like this. if you read the thread about 13 posts down regarding flashing a cosmo you will see how to do the upgrade. it worked for me on my s620. i downloaded the files that the person giving the instructions provided a link to instead of editing my own files.

Problems w/HardSPL

I'm trying to use HardSPL to upgrade my SPL on my AT&T 8525 from this link
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
and running into problems.
When the bootloader is trying to upgrade my SPL, it seems to to disconnect my phone from my computer in the process of upgrading. I've tried it over 10 times and the same result everytime. I've also done a master reset on my phone just ot make sure it's nothing that I may have changed in the settings.
Does anyone know what the hell is going on? I really want to upgrade my phone to WM6 and running into a problem already by just following the instructions given.

Not easy to help you if you do not give more details... Are you running XP or Vista? Is it the first time you try to flash a rom (did it work already?)? Which version of Activesync are you using? Is your USB cable directly connected to a port of your PC or through a "long chain" of hubs?...
Nevermind, I finally got it. It doesn't state inside the instructions but here is some info to anyone new who has the same problem as I did.
Make sure to check your phone when the program will be searching your phone for info. You will need to give the program a "Yes" or "No" option on your phone. So watch out for that as it will save you a lot of heartache of the whole upgrading process.

HELP NEEDED PLEASE! Rom+instructions for my o2 trion wm6

Hi amm
I am new to windows mobile. i got this ophone of my old work mate.
I have tryed to put windows mobile 6 on the phone as it only have wm5 on it, but i get as far as the phone changing to upgrade mode ( 3 striped red, blue and green) screen and then it says that the phone cant comunicate.
I have tryed going though o2 website but it not recignizing my serial for the phone ( ex contract and also was a replacement handset)
any help would be nice, by the way i am on windows vist a, but i have also tryed it on xp, but the same still happns.
Thanks
Paul
anyone? noow any suggestions
This answer may seem condescending, but it isn't.
1. Are you attemtping to flash a rom update from the phone's original carrier or a non carrier specific rom? If a non carrier specific rom then see #2. If carrier specific did you download the rom from a secure place such as the carrier's website? If not, you may want to and try again.
2. Have you made sure your phone is CID and sim unlocked? This has to happen if you are attempting to flash a non carrier specific rom onto your phone. There is literature in your specific phone's Mobile 6 forum that is stickied or in the Wiki which will show you the best way to accomplish flashing. You must first read, then use the correct methods and tools or you will most likely create a brick. At this point of the game your phone is a little older and the path to Mobile 6 is well laid out. Which leads to the next question.
3. Have you done a search for this problem? You are not the first and will not be the last to have run into this issue. Using the search button does wonders here. If you have the cajones to flash your phone you are adventerous and the knowledge you will pick up will help in the long run. I say this because flashing is addictive and once you see the immediate improvements you will continue to look for better roms.
4. Please remember this is a developer's forum so the intelligence level is higher than most other forums but the patience level is much lower for those not willing to follow directions and/or help themselves. Some things have well laid out paths and others are trial and error. A lot of people here are doing a large amount of work for little to no money so please READ before embarking on your journey.
5. Get to work. Oh yeah. Please lit your phone's information in your signature. It will save someone asking the first 2 or 3 questions I did everytime. You could use mine as an example. Believe me it saves time and people are more willing to help.
hey thanks for your message
I am trying to flash the phone with Official O2 UK WM6 Trion (Hermes) rom 3.54.206.1_6275+radio 1.47 (3-8-2007) , the phone is simfree.
but even on trying to install Olipro v7 2.10 i get messages like 266 or 260 conection timed out or something. i am technical minded and i have tryed to serch for the awsers using google.
I suggest reading the Wiki and your Mobile 6 forums for the way to flash without using the usb cord. It will take a non-sdhc memory card and uses the nbh file from the rom you are flashing. Research that.
What is the HTC name for your phone? The Trion is a Hermes or a Wizard correct?
Also, CID and sim unlocking your phone will eliminate many future problems. Just be aware it automatically voids your warranty.
Okay - can you do a soft reset and have the phone work fine? That is step one. If so, then go to the Hermes Mobile 6 forum and check out the stickies. Dr. Puttingham wrote a great guide to flashing our phones.
If you can't get the phone working from the soft reset I suggest reading the Wiki and the Mobile 6 forums for the way to flash without using the usb cord. It will take a non-sdhc memory card and uses the nbh file from the rom you are flashing. Research that.
The Trion is a Hermes, which is what I have (Cingular 8525). I would suggest a non carrier rom of Mobile 6.1. You will find it to be much faster and stable.

hi i just found out that thephone is not a trion afterall it is a xda mini s, can this still be upgraded
I believe the Mini S is a Wizard. check out the forums. All the answers are there. I retired my Wizard 3 months ago . This is an easy problem to fix. Just read. I still suggest Mobile 6.1. Especially on the Wizard.

Tried unlocking but no success! Help anyone?

I have tried unlockin my phone( rhodium TP2 Verizon) fresh out the box with no success then i activated my phone no success keeps telling me to download a cab and i make sure my phone is fully charged as well but i have noticed when i try WMDC exits why????? can anyone help all i want is the new manilla 2.5
First of all please be more specific. You are talking about Hard-SPL right? Then I suggest to go to the thread of hard spl and read the first post! The answer is in the first post. If you want to hard spl your phone and flash another rom then all you have to do is READ!
