[Q] Flashing unknown Rhodium - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hi, I recently bought a new Rhodium on ebay from Hong Kong. I'm a junior when it comes to flashing but did succeed with Tael on my previous Touch Pro 1.
On the Rhodium I was looking for a rom with speed and a low bug count and choose the Silence or Energy roms. I could flash neither even after unlocking. I flashed Mighty and I thought successfully but when I rebooted only had the HTC screen then stars and I thought I'd bricked. Took it to my local shop who played with it and then handed it to a guru and came to the conclusion it was dead. I continued and found on the tricolour boot screen it responded to a usb connection. It is now working but the only rom it will accept is from the site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Rhodium/Shipped_Roms
and is the
HTC RHOD100 n/a 1.86.401.0 (67102) WWE
I don't know whether I have a GSM or CDMA phone but it is a T7373
Is it possible to load Silence or another fast custom rom?
Thanks

In essence
I believe the T7373 is the Rhodium 100 and that it is a GSM phone.
So I should look for ROM's on XDA and not on ppcgeeks
My question now boils down to why can I only flash the stock ROM and if I try the Silence ROM, for example, it says not suitable for this device.

Hi
when you say "after unlocking" do you mean you installed HardSPL, found here?

HardSPL
Yes I've successfully install HardSPL

@ triple screen does it say 1.00 Olinex?
and when its a wwe rom, i recommend to use a wwe rom again, u say u want to use a energie rom, what exactly is happening? when u flash it is can hang up to 10 minutes, so thats why i want to know it . maybe we can help..

The Rhodium Model Number can be found at the sticker in the battery compartment under the battery...I'm curious about the purchase of the device from Hong Kong and whether or not it's an official HTC and if not, would that have anything to do with it.

Rhodium 100
Thanks for the replies
When I try flashing it gets to 1% then PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.27.4.3 says
Error [244]:Invalid Model ID
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your Update Utility
The tricolour screen says

Are you sure you got the correct (GSM) version of HardSPL?
You may have to relock and then rerun HardSPL

indeed are you sure its not a cdma? , however A ROD 100 is definetly a gsm but you never know in other countries, by the way the last hardSPL is 1.00 Olinex.
let us know.

Hard SPL
Thanks for your help. Have relocked then unlocked using Hard SPL. Latest I can find is 0.85 Olinex. Still the same error message when I try to flash anything other than the stock ROM

Locking and Unlocking
Well, I don't think I'm gonna get any more advice. So my conclusion is that my phone is not properly unlocked. I've tried the relocker and unlocker posted by OliNex at the top of this board. Can anyone tell me what I see on my tri-colour boot up screen which tells me whether the phone is locked or unlocked? Thanks

i also bought one from hongkong on ebay from dealrus or something and is also a rhod100 and have a energy rom on it so if bought it from the same seller it is possible

Do Not flash your Artemis with a different carrier/cooked Rom without cid unlocking

Noobs beware!
As a number have been flashing their devices with various roms not from their own carrier or country or cooked roms and bricking their device - I put up this sticky. Your device must be cid unlocked first before you do this. This applies to the coming wm6 roms to - if the rom is not specific to your device - i.e. if you try to flash the upcoming htc 3300 wm6 rom on O2 orbit - you must cid unlock first - with imei check or you will end up with a BRICK!
This does not apply if you are only updating the os http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299154 or radio.
cid = country id i.e. locked to that country/language/vendor
cid unlock for the artemis is here with USPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403 (thanks pof)
or here http://www.imei-check.com/c3unlock.php (costs though)
Bricked devices
If you have flashed your device and not cid unlocked it, your device maybe salvagable if you can get it into bootloader mode.
Hold down the voice speed dial button and soft reset - you should then enter bootloader mode 'multicolored' screen'
If you do, attach device to pc via usb cable (a small usb will appear bottom left of screen) and flash factory rom. (run rom executable or RUU updater from pc) You do not need to be activesynced to do this.

If you cannot enter bootloader mode your bootloader has been damaged and your device will need to be sent away for repair.
Hi Folks,
Firstly many thanks for everyone's freely given time! Great Forum!
There seems to be a lot of confusion about who and what can be flashed with the German official ROM and then with Bepe's creation.
Can we try to clear some of the ambiguity for us simple folk? Might stop some of the repeated questions littering threads in both related artemis sections.
So, many thanks to anyone who can clarify the situation by providing definitive answers to the following questions!
(1) Can an 02 Orbit from, say, the UK or Holland be flashed with either the German and/or Bepe's ROM, even if it is CID Locked (i.e. same devcie and carrier, different country).
(2) Can a non-Orbit O2 device be flashed with either the German or bepe's ROM, even if it is CID Locked (i.e. different devcie but same carrier).
(3) Is there a fall back Rom available for non-German O2 Orbits should the upgrade fail?
Again, many thanks for your time.
Cheers - Adam.

By what i read "wrong vendor" means CID locked right ? but what EXACTLY is CID locked definition ?? i CAN put any sim card inside my HTC P-3300, whether from SFR operator (france) or Proximus (belgium) one... so why do i have this wrong vendor when trying to upgrade to WM6 german rom ?
Take a look to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299154 I tried it, and now I have wm6 on my HTC P3300, it's true that you can't have upgrades to radio or extrom, but meanwhile I can use wm6

cid = country id i.e. locked to that country/language/vendor thats why cid needs unlocking before flashing diff any of aboves roms.

is it just me or is any one on this forum a bit sceptical of a merchant who so brazenly operates their business under the assumption that all potential customers are all fraudsters/criminal scum? is there no - more customer friendly- merchant who can perform this much valued service?

My HTC has no vendor since I can use all SIMs from different vendors, now I upgraded from HTC Spanish version to HTC WWE version, so Vendor and Language (plus location?) locks are disabled?

Hello,
I would like to Upgrade my O2 XDA Mini S with Windows Mobile 6 (localized / German version). I hardly searched for such a WM6 Upgrade but there seems to be no final version for my device and german language.
I figured out that there is an WM6 OS Upgrade for the XDA Orbit and XDA Trion (coming soon). Might it be possible to flash only an OS-ROM for WM6 extracted from one of these O2 ROM updates? I was able to extract the OS-Image and I already backed up my current ROM using aWizard. aWizard also supports flashing a single OS-ROM only.
Some people in this forum already said I might brick my device. Is it possible or not to flash the OS ROM? Is it risky to give it a try?
Do you know a final working German Upgrade for the XDA Mini S (Qtek 9100)?
Best Regards
Gabriel
Hello
I am in Bootloader mode right now and I started the updater but it says it can't connect. I see the device in Windows and my Artemis says it sees a USB connection (it says "USB" on the bottom of the screen in the white stripe).
What do I have to do for it to start working for a change?
I think I found the problem: First, it would be wise to close mtty . Then it is important to reboot and after entering Bootloader mode to connect USB not while booting. After trying it a dozen times it suddenly worked.
Please, could someone explain how I can unlock the CID with USPL? It starts the batch, when it's done I have a black screen with the Linux penguin and it says loaded. When the RUU tries to connect, though, the device doesn't respond. So I take it the process doesn't actually get finished...
I think this sticky has become useless, there is a reasonably fool-proof way to flash CID locked devices these days
Hi I Try To Flash My Htc P3300 (bricked) With Factory Roms And Negative Result The Process Stop At 2%.
Can Anybody Help ?
Just to inform you guys that i tried the USPL Method 3 times and always got an error message UPDATE ERROR (i think it was error number 270 ??).
Well, that was because after the DOS mode went until 100, and the dialog box for the ROM Update Utility appeared, this dialog box ask to wait for the PDA to be activesynced before presing the "UPDATE", so i was waiting for the PDA to reconnect to activesync (while in a black screen mode) before pressing update . THAT was the mistake. Don't wait for it to RE connect to activesync (strange right ?) and just press the NEXT and UPDATE without waiting anything.
THEN it worked i just upgrade to WM6 without VENDOR ID error anymore thanks to the USPL method
just got a dopod m700 for my wife i know it is a g4 ppc hence will this zip file work on it to get the cid unlocked or do i have to follow a similiar procedure as i had to for my wizard
sorry i got my answer
please ignore my earlier question

Last night I flash my Dopod M700 to WM6 but after reboot it only enter to the boot flash screen showing IPL SPL 1.11 OS 3.7 etc......
I did unlock the CID but the flashing of WM6 seems not ok.
Then I enter to the bootloader mood and flash the WWE WM5.0 of HTC M700 rom. It did turn the M700 back to WM5.0 and then I flash it with WM 6.0 again.
However, I forgot to unlock CID again before flashing. Then now the device stuck in the boot screen with SPL 1.28 OS 3.7 etc......
I still can enter to bootloader mood, but I have tried to heal the device by flashing it with the WWE WM 5.0 rom of HTC M700 again. But it cannot be flashed again!!!! Error message came out that the rom is not for my device!!
Help!!!!!!!!!
Is the wm5 wwe rom the factory rom for your device or are you from another country?

diamond won't upgrade to 1.93 hspl

I have a gsm diamond (from t-mobile uk) and have flashed it to 1.34 hspl to use the new 25.16 radio and dutty's v3.1 both are working fine however I can't *upgrade* (i know it's not an upgrade per se) to hspl 1.93. it's stuck on 1.34.
using customruu it goes through the normal motions and on screen shows it to 100% then restarts etc, but after i check by going into the bootloader it hasn't updated. I have looked about and search for some time now and don't see anyone expericencing quite the same thing.
any ideas??

I have the exact same issue... I tired updating it from 1.24 to 1.93 and it restarted like it updated it. But when I go into boot loader its still got the old hardspl.
Does anyone know why??
I have tried searching around for a solution but no luck
I'm no noob and i've flashed 100's of times across many fones and unbricked a few with some careful reading but this seems very odd and stupidly simple. No idea what i'm missing.... only thing i can think to try is to flash from internal storage, but i would think this unwise with the hardspl as I thought hardspl would control access to the internal storage like some sort of bios perhaps?!
Same here
Hey guys,
Does anyone knows what is the resolution for this? I having the same problem as well.
Hi guys!
HSPL blocks write attempts to the SPL-part of the nand! You need to run SSPL from windows mobile and then flash the HSPL-Version you want. This is pretty much the only way to override that write-protection!

Advantage of HardSPL

Hello,
I have a HTC Touch Diamond p3700. Now I have take a look around at the forum/wiki and other external links. and found a solution to my problem. What I wanna do is change the language from my phone to english. Throught a website found on google I was able to get "HTC Touch Diamond_MRII_RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_2.03.401.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship"
from the HTC website (by the provided serial number). my question number 1 is is this file I got compatible with my phone?. Also by reading the wiki about SPL I found out I could do a SPL ROM update (just install the rom with the provide file from HTC website) or do a HARDSPL ROM update. Question number 2 is What is the avantage to have a HARD SPL?.
To my situation isnt it better to have a soft SPL over hard? If I just want to change the OS language! I dont need any tweaks or so. Just want it in english, like how it will be like a brand new HTC comes from US or UK.
I hope you guys can help me out with this question. Thanks in advance
If you want to change stock rom, with another language than on your phone, you have to flash HSPL olinex-unsigned, you can find it on this forum, use 1.93-olinex-unsigned.
You don't have to flash SPL, just if you upgrade your stock rom with same language like on it, which came with your phone, where you buyed, form example if you buyed phone in SWE, rom on it is SWE, and if you try to change lang-rom with WWE, it will show message, "wrong vendor id, or lang id" , than what you have to do, if you change lan OS, from originally, you have to flash with olinex-unsigned...
What I have done now is Flashed to Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.
The problem now is when I try to run the SPL ROM update it will stuck at 0 procent (phone screen) and in windows it say 262 update error.
I have tried with _HTC Touch Diamond_MRII_RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_2.03.401.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship which I downloaded from the HTC website and also with RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship which is provided in this forum as supported ROM.

Place your device into bootloader mode(soft reset + hold vol. down until you see rainbow screen) before flashing.
Connect to pc....u should see bottom switch from serial to usb then flash device using your RUU_exe.
it say "Trigger USB Host..." Few seconds later than in red "Retry Enter USB"
More Info:
Currently

It should just read USB in bootloader mode. Not familiar with above statements. Try another USB port.
when I do (soft reset + vol down + back) it comes into the tri color screen. Then it switch screen to something where it say "no image found" and switch to the screen I descript
Edit:
I have plugged the phone into another usb port now I get the tri color screen with USB on the bottom. Then I run the RUU I downloaded from the htc site. But it cannot detect my current ROM version so I ignore that and just go on. Then the phone jumps into the progress bar screen!! it has been 3 minutes now but still @ 0%
I have no idea what it was or why is that. But I have successfully update the ROM into english. What I have changed from my configuration above was searching for SPL 1.40 on the internet. After reading alot I have the idea that the version 1.30 I had downloaded is not the right one. And unfortunately I cannot find 1.40 on this forum so I had to try with google. After flashing the phone into 1.40 UNSIGNED (yes I took the risk and put the unsigned version on it).
When all that has happened I could easily run the ROM I downloaded from the HTC website and update the phone. Everything goes smoothly without problem.
So the problem lies in version 1.30 HSPL vs 1.40 HSPL.
For people just drop into this website and want to change your ROM etc. here is a good tip. The information given on this website is great, good, and correct! but just beware that the tools provided might be outdated while tutorials, FAQ's, WIKI and forum threads are all taking about the newer version of tools.

[Q] ROM Update stays at 0% - help needed

Dear All,
this time, I have a problem and need your help, please.
I just bought a new (used, but not by me ) HTC Touch Diamond. Hard-SPL (1.37 from whoever) was installed.
First MTTY'ed the device - with success (set 14 0, task 29, task 8)
Wanted to install OliNex 1.40 first
Started ROM-Update, everything went fine, screen of Diamond changed into "bar display" - but stays there with 0%
Tried several flashes (OliNex, ROM, Radio - everything the same)
Does anybody have a hint for me what to do? Identifier seems ok, DIAM100 is shown in intial bootloader screen (three color-screen)
I appreciate any hint.
With kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph
Radio
Downgrade your radio to one below 1.02.XXX before flashing the unlocked radio
Full instructions to unlock your diamond are here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749201
Once you have done this, you can flash any ROM you like
Dear Dave,
thank you very much for your support.
Unfortunately it didn't help but showed everytime the same picture - stuck in the bar at 0% and doesn't do anything.
I tried STEP 1, STEP 2 and downgrading to radio 1.00.25.05 (but actually I don't know which is actually installed, as the Diamond never reaches the Touch Diamond page with ROM & HW Info, it stucks in the Touch Diamond page with no information at all, if started not in Bootloader mode)
It seems to me that the bootloader itself could be corrupted or the model number (shows DIAM100 in Bootloader) is somewhat corrupted, as I know that the internal storage consists of more digits (like DIAM10000 or so) - and a way to fix it with MTTY? But I can't find a description of the MTTY tasks of the Diamond.
Any more Idea?
Thank you Dave, and all the others who read and think, in advance.

Can you get into Bootloader mode by holding down
Volume down button + Back button (Bottom right button) + Press reset with the pen
Then keep pressed the first two buttons and let go of reset, keep hold of the first two buttons until it reaches the bootloader mode
If you can do this, then reboot and put the radio onto the storage card (4GB one) and enter bootloader mode, then folllow instructions on that screen to flash the radio, and you can do the same for the rom
It sounds to me like maybe you have not managed to flash the HardSPL properly
Hi Dave!
Thanks for your quick reaction.
Yes, I can anter bootloader mode. But nothing more. Flash is not possible. Hard-SPL was the first thing I tried to flash but it also remained at 0%
How can I put files on the internal storage card from within bootloader mode? (Phone is not booting, ONLY bootloader mode is accessible...) I never encountered this before...
But I can reach the phone with MTTY.. can I access the storage card through this?
X
Have your tried different HardSPL versions ?
Im not sure what is wrong... if you are in Bootloader mode, and the USB drivers are installed and you have activesync running on the PC it should update no problem
I would make sure all the above is true, and attempt different HardSPLs
I think that is the issue as you wont be able to flash an unlocked radio or custom rom without HardSPL being flashed first
Here is another version you could try

EDIT - And I dont know if there is a way to access the storage card from MTTY or bootloader, my guess is that you wont be able to
Also, this is a GSM Diamond right ? Not a CDMA ? (UK Networks are GSM)
CDMA flash is here

Hi Dave!
Yes, it's GSM. Thanks for your help and the links provided - it didn't help.
I tried various Hard-SPLs: OliNex 1.20, 1.30, 1.37, 1.40 and 1.93 (developers)
Result - all the same: standstill at 0%
I've seen in MTTY that I have an "upload" menu item - but need there the start address and command line for Diamond plus to know what it is meant for, I will try to find out... and if there is some new know-how out of this, I will post it here, in order that future GENERATIONS may find it *laugh*
Dave? THANKS!
Kindest regards from Switzerland - Christoph

Ok, lol Another possible !
Maybe your friend flashed a Signed HardSPL which means you can only flash Signed radios and roms until you flash another unsigned HardSPL
If the Radio you are trying to downgrade to is unsigned that could explain the issue... try and find a Signed radio below version 1.02.XXX and try to flash that, then try to flash to another Unsigned HardSPL, if the radio flash goes ok.

Short answer: You're running the normal HardSPL and you're trying to flash an unsigned (not signed by olinex) ROM. You need the developer version which fixes the 0% issue. Link is at the bottom of this post. Read on to understand the difference between Standard/Developer Edition!
Long answer: First you need to understand that there are two definitions of "signed". HTC and the mobile operators sign ROMs so that the RUU flash utility allows them to be flashed. Usually this is what the word "signed" in the filename means.
Then there is another definition of signed: The developers of HardSPL introduced their own signing process. They want to ensure that people flashing cooked ROMs can rely on a certain quality standard. The normal version of HardSPL will only allow ROMs signed by OliNex to be flashed. If the ROM you are about to flash is signed, it will say so in the thread you got it from. If it isn't signed, you will need the developer version of HardSPL. That one will allow any ROM to be flashed. Get it at the bottom of this posting.
A note on this: The signing process by olinex makes sure that the ROM you're about to flash won't brick your device. It doesn't mean all other ROMs are necessarily evil.

This is the answer. I used to have the same problem because when I bought my diamond I thought everything runs the same as the TyTN but ...
So to cut this story short, almost 90% of the 0% bar situations are because U R not using signed roms. However if Ya want to then use the unsigned HardSPL.
Hi Dave & Nazgul,
it seems that my case belonst to the non-90%
Of course I tried all this, but I have THREE diamonds - two were branded by the Swiss Swisscom (this is, in fact, the same image as the German Vodafone branding), one was the original HTC version
I'm flashing Diamonds since two years though.
My fault this time was, that I THOUGHT, this new one were HardSPL'ed, but it wasn't - and formatted the device using MTTY without Hard-SPL.
After that I had the above mentioned situation.
NO Hard-SPL was flashable - as written above - also noth the unsigned developer 1.93 edition - it always remained at 0%
I managed in the meantime to flash the original Vodafone/Swisscom ROM. So I have back the device in the official configuration (HTC Swisscom 1.97 package http://www.swisscom-mobile.ch/scm/d...pa=0x0x147x18x0x0x0x0x0&odg=SoftwareAndManual)
But - this uses Radio 1.08.xxx and I would like to downgrade because I think, Dave's hint above to use a radio before 1.02.xxx would be worth a try.
BUT - I STILL can't flash anything. Neither ANY Hard-SPL nor any Radio version nor any ROM.
The bar remains at 0%
I tried to find the original (first edition) of the Swisscom ROM Package, which used the Radio 1.00.25.05 - and then to try Dave's proposed steps.. but I can't find it anymore - all you can find is the "latest" package...
So I would still appreciate any help to be able to flash. Ok, now at least, I have a usable phone... but... I wanted to use it (as the other two) for ROM development testing, so who wants to have a PHONE!?!?
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph
Here is your radios
Sorry for the short post, I have a really bad hangover lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
Morn' Dave!
I tried them all - none of them was flashable... same 0%-bar.
I thought of having the V 1.00 complete official Swisscom-Pack and as part of it, the radio 1.00.25.05, which is included. Seems to me, that the c(complete) official ROM pack is flashable.
THEN I could re-try to flash Hard-SPL (with then installed radio below 1.02.xxx)
Hangover? What's this?

YEa that might work, it is almost certain the issue is the HARDSpl being either not flashed, or flashed with a signed version
Good luck !!
And the hangover is nearly gone... I cured yesterdays with more alcohol lol
Have you tried these UNSIGNED dev HARDspls ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
Hi Dave - GOT IT, solved
The "secret" was to flash noit from withi boot loader but from within Win Mobile with ActiveSync/Windows Device Center connected.
Then say "Yes" when "enterbootloader.exe" was asked to be installed/invoked.
Then the Device rebooted, flashed Hrd-SPL 1.40 correctly - and everything else onwards went fine.
Thanks a lot for your assitance, Dave and others.
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph
Ah.. I thought you were already using the Activesync and CustomRUU to flash it with !
Yes, the ROMs and Radios can be flashed from the storage card, but the Hard SPL needs to be done from Activesync / CUstomRUU
Pleased you got it working anyway

URGENT Help needed.

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong section.
I have a touch pro 2 GSM (Rhod100) that i'm trying to hard spl unlock.
whenever i try to unlock (gsm or cdma, ive tried both) it just says
Warning, this package is not intended for your phone, exiting now.
I'm pulling my hair out over this, i've searched this whole forum and cannot find anyone else with this problem!
Thanks in advance
Heres what booting into that tri colour mode says.
Security Unlocked
RHOD*** 32M SS-BC
SPL-0,87.0000
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MicroP(Key) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
.. then some numbers then saying calibrated.
Please help
Security unlocked ? So it's a second hand RHOD already unlocked.
its probably a refurb yes but its not hard spl unlocked so i cant put cfw on it. and yes my sd card was removed, i did notice you removed edited your post
You have checked your radio rom ? Tried to reflash a stock rom and HardSPL after ? Your phone might have met Olipro sim unlocker, flashed with a stock rom, but not SPL relocked after. Many scenarios are possible.

-BUMP-
Anyone? Jeez...
And you tried to apply HARDSpl from your SD card ? Or data cable ?
from data cable through activesync (winxp) didnt think through sd card was possible
It was on legacy devices, but unfortunaltely seems not possible with RHOD Just checked. I think at this stage, you could try to switch your usb cable and usb port. If it ain't work, a post in the HardSPL Section might call the attention of Olipro.
its now getting error 246
You should pay attention @ this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4930529&postcount=979
The cab needed is this one http://hpcmonex.net/roms/enablerapinew.cab
already got that cab. AND IM NOT DONATING FOR SOMETHING THAT ISN'T WORKING, I'LL DO THAT AFTER.
Fixed now. Tip for people who got their hong kong tp2's. Donate and hard reset! Thats the key!
