Splahscreen problem

hi...i recently hard spl my touch pro 2 by tmobile with a hard spl meant for the sprint and att version of the phone...flash the Energy Rom, and now i cant get the "Toch Pro 2" splahscreen off...its the 1st splashscreen....anybody have any ideas on how to fix my problem? also, i heard if i flashed the hardspl again, it would clear the slashscreen, but i cant find the proper hardspl for the Us Tmobile version

you shouldn't have flashed the HardSPL for Sprint on your T-Mo TP2. Sprint is CDMA, T-Mo is GSM. flash this HardSPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131

sorry about that
oh..im sorry..but that is the hardspl i flashed...i get a startup screen that says "Touch pro 2", which isnt on the tmobile us version

i think its the Energy Rom startup screen that i cant get rid of...i should of never tried 2 flash such an expensive piece of plastic

If you want to replace the initial boot screen (the first one with the red writing on it), find the TMobile splash screen in whatever image format, and follow the directions here. But FYI, it's not bad/harmful or anything to have that different boot screen, that's perfectly normal with most ROMs here. Anyway, hope that helps

The easiest way to return your "stick together" splashscreen is to install the tmo test shipped rom
http://xda.caspersworld.co.uk/Downl...31.2_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.17_Signed_Test.exe
that will return the splash screen to normal and the radio will be the closest thing to final shipped rom
then flash cdguider's rom which is a rebuild of the original
http://xda.caspersworld.co.uk/Downloads/Rhodium/cdguider_TMOUS_Shipped_Rom_1.20.531.4.rar
that should return your rom to normal.

thanks! that did the trick, ur awesome

i broked my phone :(

ok so i just attempted to flash my sprint tp2 with the latest version of The Cell Pro ROM and once it rebooted it doesnt go past the TOUCH pro2 screen. help! this isnt my first time flashing but this is my first problem ive come across. i really hope i didnt kill my phone

You need to give more information...Did you hardspl your phone first? Did you security unlock it too? Did you verify that it took the hardspl/unlock if you did.. More information is need before we can help.

This is the GSM forum, they probably should honestly rename it to that in the title, if you go to the rhodium forum base theres a section specifically for CDMA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517. If you search around there are other people that have done the same thing (flash a GSM rom to a CDMA phone) that can give you steps to fix it.

I'm gonna guess that you flashed a GSM ROM from this forum on your CDMA device. Go here, download any ROM, extract it, and rename the .NBH file you extracted to RHODIMG.nbh. Now, place RHODIMG.nbh on a MicroSD card (which is formatted to FAT32), stick it in your phone while it is off, and press the power button while holding the Volume Down key. Now, follow the instructions that should be presented, and let the ROM flash. When it finishes (it'll say when it's done), soft reset and hopefully your device should be fine.

ill give the microsd card flash a shot. ill let you guys know how it goes. thanks for the help.. for the time being i switched back to my old mogul

phones back in action. thank for the tip, but still one small problem. I flashed mighty rom and looks and works great for the most part, but i cant connect to the internet. Data wont connect nor will wifi. wifi will detect networks but itll just keep trying to connect. with data an error message just keeps popping up everytime i try to connect. some help would be great

did the cell pro rom contain a radio?
if so, i think you should get the original radio that came with your device (Att or sprint ... etc) you can find them in the sticky in this forum.

i just checked the cell pro rom thread and i didnt see anything about a different radio.

You have a Sprint Touch Pro 2. Sprint uses a CDMA radio, NOT a GSM radio. the ONLY roms that you will be able to use are in the Rhodium CDMA subforum. If the first rom didn't load quite right, try a different one. You'll get MUCH more help in the sub-forum dedicated to your device than here. We only know GSM devices here, sorry.

Yup as others say, just flash a CDMA ROM. Your phone is probably just fine...

flashing a custom rom to gsm/cdma hybrid?

Hi guys, im new here, and trying to navigate around here is very difficult when you don't know all the technical terms (being a noob sucks).
I have an Unlocked Sprint TP2, that appears to be a CDMA/GSM hybrid. ive been googling for roms but from what i have heard, there is no custom roms avaliable yet for a CDMA/GSM Sprint hybrid and i really dont want to mess up my phone. Its unlocked from America (i live in Australia) and the stock from is fine but i would much prefer a custom rom, though one that it is equally stable and fast. I have heard Mighty's Roms are of the kind im looking for yet i dont know if they're avaliable for my phone specifically.
This is my first time flashing a rom and i need information. To my understanding i believe i require:
1. a softspl to flash the hardspl
2. a hardspl to flash the rom
3. and of course the rom itself.
Any help you guys can give me would be much appreciated!

Actually, the CDMA Worldphones (including the Sprint model) have many custom ROMs available. Since XDA-Developers is primarily a GSM forum, not many ROMs exist here. Rather, you should try the more CDMA oriented PPCGeeks. This PPCGeeks subforum contains different ROMs, and the HardSPL unlocker for the Worldphone Rhodium models (RHOD400 & RHOD500).
And all you need to do to install HardSPL is download it from one of the stickies (from the link I provided) and run the file you download while your phone is plugged in, so you don't even need to worry about manually using an SSPL. After you do that, you can simply install any ROM (from the link I provided) by connecting your device to your computer and running the CustomRUU.exe file usually included with ROMs you download (don't use the CustomRUU that comes with the HardSPL package). Alternatively, you can install a ROM by renaming the NBH file to RHODIMG.NBH, putting it on your phone's SD card, and manually entering the booloaded (press [volume down] and power at the same time while the device is powered off).

The "hybrid" CDMA/GSM phones just need a CDMA ROM. Don't flash a GSM ROM, it won't work. But a CDMA ROM will be fine, as Dave has said.
Check out the Rhodium CDMA sub-forum here too.

I didn't know such a thing existed! Will your phone work on GSM networks (like Vodafone UK)? And does it have a 3.5mm earphone jack?
I know it's off-topic would appreciate any reply ... thanks ...

Yes, that's the idea. It has a SIM card slot that you can use when you want to use it on GSM. I have no idea about the jack though.

Am I Screwed?

Hello Everybody!
I recently ended up with a RHOD400 from Sprint. I use a T-Mobile affiliate. I know these phones have a SIM card slot. The phone is Security Unlocked and I flashed a HardSPL to it. Can this be used on my T-Mobile Afilliate? I realize its a GSM network but I see the SIM slot. Here comes the fun part. I tried flashing 21905_WCX_RHODIUM_TILT2_UPDATED_APPS_TABS and now I'm stuck on the splash screen. Have I bricked this phone or is there still hope for a noob move like this? After doing some reading I found Task29 and used it to clear the storage to try to get a different rom to work. So basically, what I need to know is
A:Is this phone bricked?
B: Can I make this phone work on a GSM carrier?(It is SIM unlocked and CID unlocked I think, but not sure if it still is after Task29 cleared the memory).
C: What ROM would I need to do this?
D: I am familiar with flashing as I have flashed several ROMs with my ATT Tilt. I was pretty sure I did everything correctly, so I'm not sure what happened.
Any help would be lifesaving because I dont want to further screw myself.

It seems that you may have bricked your device. You may be able to prepare a goldcard using QMAT and unbrick it this way.
If you manage to unbrick your device then there is a way to get it working with AT&T or T-Mobile. However, you will get EDGE (2.5G) at best. You can use the method described here or look for the OliPro SIM unlock. Keep in mind that both of these methods cost money. You can then flash it with a proper CDMA ROM like this one.
Note: if it was already HardSPL'd like you said, then you will only have to flash the ROM. If you are not getting service on a GSM carrier, though, you will have to SIM unlock again. Task 29 should not lock the SIM or change the radio, so that should not have had any effect. Also, once you've used Task 29, you will need to flash a new ROM using the RUU. To do this, put your phone into bootloader mode (hold down the volume down key right when the phone starts up)
I wish you the best of luck!

I actually had the OliPro SIM unlock done already, paid the money and am downloading the ENERGY ROM as we speak. Should know in a few if it will work. :CROSSFINGERS:

Ok, now I got the rom flashed over(Yay!), but I still dont know how to get it to work with my sim card. It still reads as Security Unlocked on the bootloader, and ever recognizes my Sim card contacts, but when I make a call it gives me a message saying my account could not be validated. Do I need to do something to get it onto GSM? Or do I just need a new radio? If it is a new radio, will I need GSM or CDMA from now on? And speaking of which, will I need CDMA or GSM roms for this pphone? Sorry about all the questions, I have always used ATT& T-Mobile phones in the past, so this was never an issue.

Ok, very strange. It says I have a voicemail, knows all my SIM contacts, reads my weather automatic, but I still cant make a call. I did another HardSPL, and did the SIM unlock again, went in and changed the phone band to GSM, just to be sure, but it still has a voice message when I try to make a call that says "Your account cannot be validated, please contact customer service". I'm pretty lost at this point so any help would be great. I am glad to know this phone isn't bricked though

You're in the wrong forum. This particular forum is for the GSM Rhodium, you have a CDMA forum (albeit one that can work on GSM networks too). So you need the CDMA version of HardSPL and a CDMA ROM to make it work (if it hung on the splash screen then you flashed the wrong type of ROM).
Folks in the CDMA sub-forum may be able to advise you about getting it to roam on a GSM network. Also try ppcgeeks.com , which tends to have more CDMA users.

I'm actually not stuck on the splash screen anymore. I flash The ENERGY rom over and it worked in the sense that I'm no longer stuck in splash screen. Now I can Get sim contacts, weather. I just cant make calls or send text, Internet ect. I just get a voice message that says "your account cannot be validated"
I'm still not sure

ok, but you're still in the wrong forum though. You're asking questions about a phone with CDMA ROM, and this sub-forum is for GSM ROMs. I suggest going to NRG's thread on ppcgeeks.com, there's a link to that in his thread here.

UPDATE: Finally got it, just needed to search for networks again. I thank everyone for the help.
And will remember the CDMA sub-forum in the future

Tried to Flash Radio on Sprint Tp2, using Tmobile Sim. Now phone cant start or charge

OMG HELLPP!! I was trying to put in a new radio for my sprint TP2 with Tmobile Service. I had a radio of version 2.3 something. Anyways I decided to download a radio and I extracted the nbh file from my computer using winrar. i put the extrated nbh file in my storade card section(no folders) I renamed the 4.1943.nbh file(downloaded radio nbh file) to RHOMIMG.nbh and used the bootloader program to update my radio as I do with my roms. After it said successful finished i pressed the reset button and it turned off. I waited but nothing happened. Now I cant turn on the phone or even get it to charge. Anyone know whats wrong?? This is my first time flashing a rom. Someone. Anyone let me know how I can fix this.
The Radio was the 4.49.25.91
I have unlocked sprint touch pro 2 phone. Using my USA Tmobile SIM card.

Sorry I can't be of any help, but I'm curious is your Sprint TP2 a hybrid of both CDMA and GSM?

You are probably screwed. You flashed a gsm radio on your cmda phone. Try flashing a cmda radio back on it and if you are lucky it will work again. If not, you can probably throw your phone away.
From what i've read in the past, people who did the same thing couldn't get there phone back to work.
If you are sure you have a cmda device then flash a cmda radio. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578659

Dude you are not as screwed as you think. I did the same with my tp2. All you need to do is flash a factory Rom. You can search onthe forums for details. Btw , the tp2 is dual mode and can be switched at will if properly unlocked.

I think you're confusing flashing a ROM with flashing a radio. If he only flashed a GSM ROM onto a CDMA phone, then as you say, he can simply flash a new CDMA ROM. But if he flashed a GSM radio (as seems to be the case) onto a CDMA phone, then he's totally screwed. JTAG re-programming of the radio is needed. So the only hope is to try a warranty replacement and *hope* they don't figure out what he really did.

Damn.. I didnt know about the radio GSM OR CDMA. I have a sprint phone which i guess is CDMA. I got a radio from this forum XDA in the radio section where I downloaded the "4.49.25.91". Is all the radios on this XDA forum GSM?? If thats so then thats the reason why. But how is all GSM and no CDMA radio.... god..
I cant reset or nothing I tried. As I said the charger light wont even turn on when its connected to the charger. Theres no light on the phone what so ever. IDK is said successful after I flashed the rom.... then I hit the reset button and since then it wont charge nor turn on...

Yes, all radios in this forum are for GSM TP2s. Sorry but I think you're screwed, totally bricked.

have you tried going into the boot loader.. and then flashing another radio cdma ofcoarse.. but yeah try going into the bootloader by pressing volume down and the power key.. after you do that connect to your pc as always and flash another radio.. im not shure if this will work but im really hoping that it will.. gud luck..

or if wat i just posted doesnt work you can try to flash task 29 into it also in the bootloader mode and after you do that go bak into the bootloader and flash a radio again.. im pretty certin that this will work cus what task 29 does is formats your phones memory.. oh and since this will format your phones memory after you do task 29 and flash another radio you also have to flash another rom into it.. its going to be a long process but if its to get your phone to boot back up then go for it..

task29 doesn't touch the radio area. And I would put money on the fact that he won't be able to get it into the bootloader, unfortunately.

well if he is able to get into the bootloader then hes good but if hes not able to do that then yeah i think your right hes pretty much ****ed. and gots an expensive paper weight.. lol

from what i just read, it seems he flashed a RADIO and not a rom, in this case you are screwed, regardless if your Sprint TP2 is unlocked to use on a GSM network you still can only flash a CDMA Radio and NOT a GSM radio, as they have different radio hardware....if im right
but anyways you got a paperweight, like other people said, try you luck at a Warranty Exchange

Lets say I get a Tmobile touch pro 2 phone and I have Tmobile service. It obviously can work but can I still unlock it so i can use like maxsense and still use my Tmobile sim card?

You can do a HardSPL and then flash a new ROM with maxsense, if that is what you mean. A T-Mobile SIM card will always work with a T-Mobile TP2.
