Hi everyone, I was here last night and asked a stupid question.
Well I tried to flash the phone today, and when i was unlocking it. The Hard-SPL unlocker worked (at least i thought it did)
But when i waited for the phone to reboot, it wont pass the Boot screen. It just says Touch pro2
So, it wont start.... Did i brick it?
Oh, I can access the bootloader by the way. So if there is a way to save this phone, and possibly get to using a custom rom, i would really love to do so...

NO, you are fine. Does your bootloader show that you installed the HARD SPL? IF yes, just use the RUU_exe. file and download another rom.
Yes, it shows it is unlocked and running OliNex
I am sorry, i know how to mod other things, psp, xbox, wii, but this is a new thing for me. Thank you for letting me know i havent bricked my phone.
Is there a specific file this RUU_exe that you are talking about? or does that come with every rom?

Follow ...THESE INSTRUCTIONS and you will be fine.

I cannot get past the start up screen! I have the CDMA diamond used
HSPL057 and attempted to update to SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5 (FULL) And now it will not go past the boot up screen!! What can I do?
you installed a GSM rom.
you need to do more reading.
1) Reading would have told you the differences between the devices and would have informed you you need hte correct one for your device.
2) you're not the only one who has done this if you do a search you will find how to recover from this issue.
3) i cant stress enough to read first do later. it helps you prevent situations like this.
Thanks for your help
The instructions said it was for SPRINT CDMA devices, that is what I have- I have searched all through out these posts and cannot find out how to recover from this. Can you please help if you know how?

Fingers crossed yes...
Read all the posts from the CDMA ROM page to get feedback and questions answered etc, and do a little more research via the "Search this forums" button before posting a query.
I guess we all started as XDA newbie's, so don't worry.
Got to log off now todaytoo.
Best of luck, will catch up on forums tomorrow.

Just 2 questions I think this was a good example.
Where is the CDMA Rom page?
What ROM exactly did you install? (todaytoo)
ok...its not working
ok, im at the bootload screen...I can connect to active sync. I downloaded the CDMA ROM it came in .rar format I changed to it .exe at when i run the ROM it does not do anything....
ok, now its not connecting to activsync....
Is there a trick that im not doing?
renamed a .rar file to an .exe ...new to computing?
You need to unpack/extract the rar file, just like a zip file.
Use winrar, when extracted all the goodies will be revealed!
/Psudo
wow...dont know where my head was
ok, so i have extracted it correctly....my device will still not conntec to active sync...when i plug it in from the bootscreen it changes to USB but activesync cannot find the device....any suggestions

as tonio94 says, if you can manage to get in to the tri-colored bootloader all you need to do is to flash with a rom that supports your phone... did you remember to hard-spl you phone before all this "mess" or?...

No other tools are required. Just put your device into booloader and connect with pc. The bottom of the screen should read USB. At this stage just follow the instructions that you would normal follow when executing the RUU_exe.
I'm sure you have already done this before but here is a guide ....http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=4

10x allot for your positive feedback, i now how it's done, just i could not believe it is so simple, i thought i bricked my phone, i will try it this evening when i get home.
thank you again
Problem solved, worked to flash like a charm.
thank's
This thread can be closed.
@skero666: i never recalled you as a noob.. i was just trying to give you an easy answer, sorry if i wasn't clear enough.. (^^,) .. and yeah, if you ever manage to get to tri-color bootload then you'll allways be safe... you'll never brick it unless you never manage to get to bootload .. lol

I need help changing htc raphael gsm to cdma
I have htc fuze with att provider. im wanna change carrier to boostmobile and keep using my phone. what can i do to change from gsm to cdma. help please.
ok guys i just picked up a play for att. sucks cause i have tmobile and wont get the 3/4g data. im almost always in wifi spots anyway so no big deal.
anyway i have already called att and got the phone sim unlocked. now if i think i understand this correctly this should be the order to follow. if you guys can confirm and provide latest links i would appreciate greatly.
1. sim unlock (done)
2. unlock bootloader (not yet)
3. root (not yet)
4. load rom (not yet)
correct??? did i miss anything? any preferred method on any of these? please advise.
thanks!!!
First of all, if you bought a xperia PLAY, you should probably post in the xperia PLAY forums.
Second of all, questions go in the Q & A forum.
To answer your question, that's pretty much the right order.

i was able to install clockwork recovery. i then tried to install a rom. and it froze for well over 30 min. so now all i can get to is the se logo. cant boot into recovery on boot up at all. how do you check to see if you have an unlocked bootloader?
any chance of restarting over? loading the stock rom?

Have you tried to use SE PC companion to restore phone to factory state?
From support start update and click repair phone.
That could bring your phone back to life.

That repair button didn't work?
For img flash you can use flashtool.
You don't need root or anything to use flashtool on your phone.
Just pick correct .ftf for your phone and flash it to the phone.
Do normal firmwares work on at&t's 4G version?

If you were rooted before you don't need to re-root unless you purposely unrooted it. IF you aren't rooted anymore superoneclick or the zergrush(however it's spelled) is the easiest. I'm 99% sure you don't have an unlocked bootloader though, so you have very few options. I'd say re-root if you need to and unlock your bootloader so you can flash flash and flash custom roms like crazy

It got bricked because you didn't unlock your bootloader.
1.Root your phone
2.Install Recovery
3.Unlock Bootloader
4.FINALLY!! you install a rom okay?
I was a noob too so it's okay now I'm a higher class noob.try flashing your ftf again.

You need to pay Setool credits in order to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader allows you to lose the sin lock as well, so you could have killed two birds with the same stone.

ya i just found the website. seems like thats the one everyone is sent to on this site.
im wondering now that im rooted if i can clean this stock rom up enough to use on a daily basis. i mean im using tmobile on the device so sharing internet would only be edge lol. i guess the only thing i really want ics for is that fact that its ics.
open the dial pad and use this code*#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration".
If it says unlock bootloader = no, then you have to use the paid service, if yes, then you can do it for free yourself.
[SOLVED] I followed this thread to get everything updated and make sure I was all stock, and then went to bootloader and ran fastboot flashing lock to relock the bootloader. Everything working great now.
I'm trading my Verizon Pixel XL for a normal Pixel, and need to relock the bootloader first. I haven't installed a custom kernal or ROMs or anything, so can I just lock via fastboot safely?
I don't want to do something that will brick it!
I'm aware this is stupid and I'd rather just leave it, but dude is sketched out by warning on startup and won't trade till it's gone :/
Thanks!
[Edit] it should maybe be noted that I haven't installed any updates since rooting, and I'm not sure if those are important first or not?

It's all good man. My heart was pounding as I about to hit 'yes' for locking my bootloader. Did the deed and all is well =) Thanks!
Locked my boatloader by mistake now it won't boots I need help ASAP.... I'm losing my mind over here I need someone to help me please for the love of God somebody... Just bought this phone for like $1,000 and now I'm looking at a ****ing brick......
no worries, you technically cant brick it that easily.
Check the MSM thread for your exact model and follow the steps get it back and running again.
^ Yeah an MSM flash will have you right as rain. Just wondering how the you locked the bootloader "by mistake" that seems like a difficult mistake to make.
was trying to restore and forgot how op works lol...i got it fixed now. while your here, how can i flash twrp and flash a rom? having issues with this now..
Anybody have any ideas of how I can ROM my phone? Been sitting here trying to do it for the last I don't know how long now
So I'm not sure about YOUR phone, if you have a recovery partition you can just flash recovery, if you don't have a recovery partition then you need to fastboot boot twrp first. And there are a few ways to flash a rom, my recommendation would be Fastboot Enhance I personally haven't tried it yet but it seems to work pretty good and even though it's in the 8T category it should work fine. Now one thing that is noteworthy with Fastboot enhance though is that it flashes the current slot instead of the inactive slot.
