I'm trying to flash my unlocked Rhodium from MicroSD. It gets through the tricolor screen, to the white screen that says "Loading..." and just stays there.
The SPL version says SPL-0.79.0000
Do I have to upgrade the SPL for this to work?
hi,
have you installed hardspl to your device?
are you trying to flash stock/shipped rom or custom roms?
read these threads first:
1. hardspl
2. flash your first rom
Mine came unlocked, so yes, it has HardSPL.

Do you mean Sim-unlocked?
That's not Hspl.
If your TP2 has Hspl it should look like in the attached picture.
You get to the tricolor screen by shutting the phone off (hold powerbutton until promted on screen and choose shutdown) and then press and hold the volumedown button and press the powerbutton. Release both buttons when you see the tricolor screen.
If not.... Then you have to install HSPL first and then flash stock/Custom ROM.
Yes, it's hard unlocked.
Without trying to sound pissy/cocky, I've done this quite a few times with my old Kaiser, but I had it totally unlock it myself, this one came that way.
Are you using the new USB cable it came with? I had that problem and realized my old regular USB cable was not fully compatible with the TP2. Activesync worked fine with it but it won't flash for some strange reason. Then tried with newer style USB cable with no problems. opps, nevermind. sd flashing, huh... my works fine. I guess make sure its fat32 and no corrupted zip. thats all i can think of. I'm sure you already tried that though.
make sure the nbh file is RHODIMG.nbh If that fails, the zip archive is corrupted or you're still locked.
The file could be corrupted and I never actually thought of that since I haven't run into it before. I'll have to try again with a new file tomorrow.
I think you are confused as to the difference between "unlocked and Hard Spl'ed, these are two completely different things! if your phone came unlocked then that means it was SIM unlocked or not locked to a specific carrier! Hard Spl is not "unlocked" it is a passive form of Spl that allows us to flash non OEM ROM's to our devices! Go into the bootloader and look to see if your SPL version is 0.85 Olinex just to humor me! The fact your very first post in this thread says you Spl is 0.79.000 means you are in fact not Hard Spl and will need to flash Hard Spl to get any custom ROMs on your phone!
If you phone came with Hard SPL you must have bought it from someone who already put Hard SPL on your phone. No body ships phones with Hard SPL!
Check in the bootloader for the version amd if it doesn't save OliNex, you need to re-flash Hard SPL ask per the instructions.
Thread closed - please discuss ROM flashing problems in mskip's thread or Hard SPL problems in the Hard SPL thread.

Not sure the history of the device, however it will go to Tri colour screen and allow flashing of certain rom, i.e. the custom get out of jail rom and other - Mr Clean, etc..
however after flashing they boot backup and sit on the boot screen in the case of custom rom, displaying the beer glass?
Err, help.

If you haven't already, go to the thread for how to CID unlock your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
Since your IPL is 1.01, you can start at step 4. The key is that after you run lokiwiz, you need to get your SPL down to 1.x also, so you'll need to flash the Button ROM. A few people have mentioned they have had to flash it a number of times (like up to 8 times) to get both IPL and SPL to go down to 1.x (not sure why, but its happened a few times). AFter you get both IPL and SPL down to 1.x (on only after both are at 1.x) then continue with those instructions to flash an official ROM (the TMobile 2.26 one is linked in that thread and is a preferred one to use no matter what carrier you plan on using). Once that is done you will have a fully functioning phone running the latest official base rom. From there you can flash other custom roms if you so desire.
Good luck!
sorry, I didn't fully think about what your first post is saying. To do what I said above assumes you can use the phone in the current condition, but now I don't think thats the case. You should grab the Button ROM and flash it to see if you can get it to function (just flash it directly at the Boot screen). If that doesn't work, go get the TMobile 2.26 ROM and go ahead and try flashing it. if that doesn't work, then find and flash the Wizard Love rom. After getting one of these to work (and one of them should) then follow the CID Unlock procedure exactly (to downgrade, run lokiwiz, downgrade again, upgrade to 2.x).
further info
Thanks for getting back to me much appreciated.
I was under the impression that lokiwiz will not work unless your machine boots up?
Mine gets stuck on the initial button loading screen (beer glass)???
Will check through your link, i have been doing lots of reading etc, but cant find the definitive answer.
help
ahh, thread cross over
Will try the love rom.
Keep you posted.
Once again thanks.
tried Button Rom
Still stuck on the magic beer glass
5th time or re roming.
Cant get love rom quickly enough.
If you can do Torrents, search for Wizard_Love on PirateBay. Then just use uTorrent or BitComet to pull it. Its seeded and shouldn't take too long.
I just tried using ShellTool to install the flash Xplore onto my phone, it's a G4, CID locked. But, when ShellTool reported that it was done, I went to unplug my phone and hard reset it, but I accidentally held one wrong button, and put it into bootloader mode. Then, I realized what I had done, then hard restarted it the right way, and now all that comes up is the initial boot screen, with the new OS listed as 10.2.0.8, but it just stays there.
What do you think?
i think if you can get your wizard into bootloader then you dont have a brick. Please try to put your phone into bootloader mode then flash wizard love or your carriers rom. Then you can attempt shell tool again
Doesn't the phone have to be CID unlocked to flash the Love ROM with RUU? I have Wizard Love 2.26 10.2 WWE Novii CF2, will that work with my G4 device since it is CID locked?
My device is cid-locked G4 and wizard love worked fine flashing from RUU, so did my carriers rom.

Have you read and followed this and the steps it points you to?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
I assume you have a G3 since you are flashing these other roms, and based on the IPL/SPL numbers you are giving. You need to give us specifics of what you have done, what happened at each step and where you are at now. Details are a good thing, as its hard to diagnose with just bits of the information. At one point you say 2.6 (no idea what that is) then you say you are stuck at 1.01, and now you say 2.26. So please tell us (in gory detail!) what all you have done...
If you follow all the steps in the thread above you will get CID Unlocked, but at the point where you are now, you need to flash YOUR PROVIDER's original rom to get back to a known state. Then try doing the CID Unlock.
alright i was using molskis 3.0 and for some reason sometimes my phone would not dial or connect so i restart it once every few days...well i did a simple restart and when my phone turned back on it was on the bootloader screen with IPL and SPL of 2.26...i figured i would have to flash the rom again or go to an earlier one...so i get home and try to flash molskis 3.0 again...right after it finishes and restarts itself it comes up with the bootloader screen again...now at this point im thinking i might have to do an earlier one like the original t-mobile rom and so i tried that...same problem stuck at the bootloader screen but with IPL and SPL of 1.01...so i post and then vippie tells me to download the button rom...i try that and no luck still the same problem and i followed those steps exactly and no luck...so now my phones just sitting on my nightstand charging with a bootloader screen and nothing else and the IPL and SPL says 2.26...could it be internal damage or what? i like my phone and dont wanna have to spend the money on a new one but at this point im thinking i might have to...thanks mfrazzz for offering your help...i know i seem like a noob and i really suck at punctuation but im not stupid so anything you guys tell me to do in detail i will be able to try
I don't follow you anymore.... you got IPL/SPL 1.01 and tried to flash button rom, after this your IPL/SPL is 2.26? Impossible....
Sometimes it won't go past bootloader no matter what you do... do this to revive:

I have a 8125 G4 sim unlocked w lokiwiz and a flashed WMSE5_rev4 with soft spl, well the problem that i have now is that i recentley tried to flash a new wm6 rom without hard spl ( yeah i know stupid) And now i am stuck on tri color boatloader screen no matter if i turn it off or not still goes back to the same thing. and yes the rom that i was flashing was g safe, i think were i messed up is not CID unlocking it with hard spl?when i tried to flash the new rom it went all the way to 100% and then gave error after that. NO activesync connection right now
questions
1- DID I BRICK IT
2- is there a way to recover this device
nothing at all?
AHHH man exactly the same thing just happened to me please some one help us and tell us there us a way to fix it
Download the official carrier's Rom and flash in the tricolor screen or you can even try with wizard_love rom,it usually works with a G4 device.Activesync will not connect in bootloaders (tricolor screen).If you had not got your phone 'HardSPL' then always do the flashing through 'SoftSPL',cuz after flashing with 'SoftSPL',it only patches or tricks the device to think its CID unlock,which is temporary and as soon as you Soft Reset the phone,it goes back to its original ipl/spl and into cid locked situation,therefore,each time to flash,it has to be used again.
Cheers!
I need the stock spl and i cant seem to find it. ive tried the ones that i found on the Haard SPL thread, but they're not working. i have to return my phone to AT&T, and iver put on the Updated official rom from the HTC site, but i cant get the original SPL.
thanks

first of all let's check what spl you have right now!!!
with phone off hold volume down key while powering on the phone this should bring you to the bootloader screen (tri-color screen) check to see what spl you have & post it here then we will go from there
or you could try this instead
how to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. please make sure you already flashed stock ROM and radio, because stock SPL flash is *always* the last step before sending the device in.
1. download the Relocker attachment, extract the zip and run the EXE on your PC
2. if you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary (this Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL signed by our custom cert). the included one is the 0.79.0000 stock SPL. you also have the option for 0.84.0000 and 0.87.0000, see the attachments.
3. flash
4. verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 0.79.0000 (or 0.84.0000 or 0.87.0000), not 0.85.OliNex.
