I was updating my SPL and upon reboot I got the lovely looping T-Mobile G1 screen, camer+power, back+power, and menu+power all work, but I really have no clue what to do as to fix it, I am new to this, no I did not make a recover because I had just upgraded to Cyanogen's backup, wiping didn't seem to work, I think it was possibly because my rom was out of date? I have JFv1.51_CRB43-US, so my question to you guys is, could going out and buying another SD card and dropping a newer rom and putting the new card in my phone fix my problem?
If you were upgrading to the 1.33.2005 SPL, you need to reflash with whatever rom you are using. The SPL effectively wipes the rom out, so you need to put it back.
Yeah, I just read that in the fastboot for noobs thing, thanks for the info!
Edit:
Do I have to reboot with the exact same rom as before the SPL update?
In case you missed the key point, using that hacked SPL has the effect of WIPING ALL YOUR DATA, so how, if the data is shot, could it possibly care that you write the same thing onto it as it had before? Answer is that it DOESN'T. Now go ahead and write whatever you like to it.
Thanks, was just wondering. :x
Gotta learn one way or another.
Help help help...i just finished intalling duttys new leo 7 rom,now after restart my phone freezes on the 'smart mobility screen' i cant do anything more...i tried reset nothing.How do i get it to work please?
Have you followed the proper flashing procedure as explained here ?
Follow that guide and flash your phone again, it should be OK.
sounds like a bad flash, don't be scared it's quite simple.
if you are using the SD Card method, copy the file blacimg.nbh again to your card and flash again. or use anyother method.
i suggest that the safest way is the SD Card but make sure you have enough battery charge before you start
Has this been resolved?
Looks like it. He's posting in the radio rom thread today. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4862959&postcount=749
Lock plz.
it is specific to R7
I had the same problem with this R7.
To solve this i put the device in BootLoader mode and flash again.
But few times after the phone froze again and stuck. No way to make it boot cause it didn't go further than SmartMobility screen.
So i flashed a new rom to move from this scaring malfunction.
that is annoying cause this rom is very very pleasant and well optimized
Thread closed as query resolved
A few days ago I could not boot my X1 after flashing to a new rom. It came up with "Loading" and no image found. I was able to recover it with MTTY using a windows XP machine. I am now trying to flash to the newest version of CHristian's rom but I can't even hard SPL without getting stuck at the "loading page" again. I am able to pull the battery out and place it back in to boot back up to the OS. I also tried to do the SD card method and that didnt work.
I think something is wonky as last time I hard SPL'd it was a "success" but it just reloaded an old version of Christians Rom.
Please help. I have searched high and low on the forums and all i can find is people with the problem but no answers.
Thank you!
hey im nt no expert but have you tryied hard reseting the device to default settings, then formatting your memory card and then trying to port the rom across? i wonder if that would help!

I did and it loads to Christians rom...
Please help...not sure if a moderator should move this to another thread or not
Shameless bump here. I still have not been able to resolve this. I can not seem to Hard SPL.
Answer:
I used the SSPL method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218 to finally get Hard SPL to work.
Hope this helps other people
Please help me. I am freaking out. I flashed the HardSPL last night without a hitch. It went exactly like the instuctions said it would. Then I chose a ROM that I thought I liked and I downloaded the .zip file. In the thread for the ROM, there were no installation instructions so I just followed the instructions on the HardSPL thread. I extracted the files to my PC. I made sure I had Active Sync and internet connection. I had 100% battery life. I ran the CUSTOMRUU.exe file on my PC. I followed all of teh instruction on the installer. It was almost identical to the HardSPL installer so I was feeling confident. The installer finished and I clicvked the FINISH button. My phone then turned on, vibrated quickly, and showed the Touch Pro2 screen. That is all that happened. When I sof reset, the screen goes blank and it immediately happens again. I took my battery out to try to reset it that way, but when I put it back in I don't even need to ppush any buttons. It just vibrates and goes to the TP2 screen. I looked in the bootlocker and it says:
RHOD400 32M SS-BC
SPL-1.00.01Nex
MicroP(LED) 0x0A MicroP(KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
501,520 775,190
222,843 Calibrated
Serial
I have, had, a Sprint Rhodium Touch Pro2
I sucessfully flashed the HardSPL
I attempted to flash Shadowline's new ROM for Rhodium :
RELEASE_Rhodium_28014M_Shadowline
I am heading to the store now to buy a new SD card to try to flash a new ROM that way. Should I flash the HardSPL again? Is there a stable ROM that I should flash? Any warnings or tips before I start?
Thank you all for all of your posts on this site. Even though I am really frustrated and scared right now, I am still glad I learned about all of this from you.
well Shadowline Series is for GSM.
Well, you flashed a gsm rom onto a cdma device, which is bad news. Try flashing a stock cdma rom onto your device, and you may be able to recover it.
get a cdma rom from the cdma forum
What is with the recent influx of people who can't read?
You've got the right HardSPL, i.e. the CDMA one. But it sounds like you've flashed a GSM ROM. You can re-flash a CDMA ROM though, don't worry. Go to the CDMA sub-forum and have a look there for ROMs, or ppcgeeks.com (who tend to specialise more on CDMA phones/ROMs).
You're right. I should have read more carefully. I thought when I redad that you could use any cooked ROM after the HardSPL flash, there wasn't an exception. I thought that I was prepared. Please don't say any other bad thing as I feel bad enough already. I think I learned my lesson to read more carefully by the fact that my new phone no longer works. I don't need bashed by anyone trying to reinforce the point. Thanks for your responses though.
Would someone please point me to the Stock ROM download that I need to try?

Everyone makes mistakes. I remember when I first bricked my Tilt 2. Oddly it was with a Shadowline rom as well. Not my fault it was my laptop but its a bad feeling to brick a new phone.
Thank you.
Since my carrier is Sprint, I should use the Sprint ROM? I know that is a dumb question, but I don't think I can be too carefull now. I want to try to do everything right this time.
I will download the .exe file.
Extract it using WinRAR
Copy the .nbh file to the root directory of my FAT32 formatted SD card.
Change the name of the file to RHODIMG.nbh
open the bootloader page by pressing the down volume button and the soft reset button together.
"Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update" - I'm a liitle concerned
Then I restart my phone and I'm happy again.
Please let me know if there is something I am leaving out or some tip/trick I can do to prevent further damage.
Thanks again.
WHich file do I use?
I downloaded the .exe file and it has two xxxx_signed.nbh files.
Which .nbh file do I put on the SD Card?
SPL_signed.nbh
OR
RUU_signed.nbh
**EDIT**
I read that the file should probably be the RUU_signed.nbh.
Thanks again for all of the replies. I am not giving up.
The update completed successfully.
Phone is still broken.
Is there any hope?
**EDIT**
I popped out the SD card to pack everything up back in the box and the phone started!!!!!!!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAD POSITIVE THINGS TO SAY AND HELP TO OFFER!
I've learned my lesson.
You don't have to use a Sprint ROM, but you *must* use CDMA-specific ROMs and radio versions. Just make sure to read very carefully the details of any ROM you wish to flash. If it doesn't say then it's probably a GSM ROM and you should avoid it.
Glad it's working now though
You should consider yourself lucky lol, my first experience flashing was with my HTC Titan with nTelos (CDMA) and I never did get it working fully again after flashing... And this was after months of going back and forth with customer service, tech support, etc... so I learned my lesson... Cancelled nTelos plan, switched to T-Mobile and bought a TP2 and haven't had any problems flashing since. But I was pretty upset about the Titan after I messed it up. Didn't brick it but couldn't get over 1X speeds which kinda defeats the purpose of a smartphone lol. Glad you got it working and more importantly learned your lesson without it costing you.

the thing happens to me too although I use GSM ROMs for my GSM device. When it happens I know that it's because of the PRHODIMG file in the root of my SD which I kept in there after flashing. So like you did I get out the SD card and then start the phone. No problems. I just have to move the RHODIMG file from root of SD. It didn't always happen this way before but now it does. like you described earlier the phonescreen gets stuck with messesage in the middle "serial"

I am going to keep this SD card as my back-up and only keep the stock ROM on it I think. That way I will always have something to fall back on.

u'll have to make the stock ROM ready to flash from SD. It means the .npb has to be extracted from your stock .exe. I don't know how to do that and I suppose neither do you . What I do is I create a folder called "ROMs" and put couple of ROMs in there with their folders. When i need to flash one I just copy the RHODIMG file to the root of SD and after i finished flashing, remove the SD first, set the phone up and then insert back the SD card and move the RHODIMG file back to it's place in the ROMs folder.

Actually, WinRAR extracts the .npb file from an .exe. At least that's how I got the Sprint Stock .npb file to put on my SD card. Maybe I am misunderstanding your post though. Are you suggesting that I can't just keep the stock RHODIMG.npb file on my SD card and have that as the only thing on the card and only use that SD card as my stock ROM flash?
Similar brick of my phone
Hi guys.
I have a similar problem from the first post but I'm trying to recover my brick HTC Touch Pro 2 - TMobile GSM. I think I flashed a CDMA ROM onto my phone instead of a GSM ROM.
My tri-color screen says:
RHOD210 32M SS-BC
SPL-0.79.0000
MicroP(LED) vA
MicroP(KEY) v4
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
NO TP MFG DATA
Serial
I don't know what to do next or how to unbrick.
I tried flashing a GSM ROM through USB and microSD but it just stops at the white screen with the loading bar at 0%. It doesn't move at all. Tried so many times and just freezes at that screen.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Please help.
Did you try pulling the battery out 1 min. and then doing a hard reset? Hold down End, Send, and Power until the screen goes into the bootloader and then to the reset screen. Then press volume up.

hey,
i know this might sound like a stupid question but i am confused...
i tried flashing hardSPL but it wouldn't.
So it just keeps at 0% for more then half an hour. then i just disconnected it.
I have the RHOD300 version and used the GSM version.
What do i do wrong?
i do not need to SIM-unlock before right?
and the CID-unlock is the same as the hardSPL i thought? so why can't i flash?
thanks nick!
Correct, you don't need to SIM-unlock first. Check the troubleshooting section near the start of the sticky HardSPL thread, there are lots of suggestions of things to try there.
np progress
hey
firstly thanks for yozr fast response.
i read the troubleshooting section and everything but i could not find a solution to my problem
i am able to connect the phone and put it in bootloader and then flash it.
everything works as it did on my kaiser when i used to flash it...
so i get the grey screen with the progress bar on top but there is no progress! ive been waiting for half an hour but still no progress.
so i dont know how to go on now...cuz i need hardSPL for flashing all other roms
could someone help me here?
and is there a way to flash it via sd card?
couldnt find the nbh
thanks nick!
You can't flash HardSPL via your SD card, no, sorry. You really need to post up on this in the HardSPL thread though, rather than having a separate thread here.
