hi all
hope u r doin` good
is unlocking my td2`s rom gonna harm my device i`ve googled many times and most of hte searchs says that the virsus will attack my phone and it`ll case for me a llot of problems * isn`t there any shorter way than this to unlock the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
can some1 please answer all my ques
Unlocking your TD2 won't do any harm to your device as long as you carefully follow the instructions from this forum. Me and my TD2 can be a perfect example of it. The only issue is that your warranty is no longer valid once you unlock your phone and change rom. On the other hand, you can always return to stock rom and re-lock your Topaz.
A newbie's guide to unlocking TD2:
Step 1. Read everything carefully.
Step 2. Do step 1 again.
Step 3. If you have any doubts or there's something you don't understand do step 1 and/or ask the forum for help.
Step 4. Unlock, change rom, install new software, etc.
Step 5. Enjoy!
thanks
thanks very much but can you please tell me how can I re lock it again just in case ,

i think the link got problem or some 1 remove the thread, so i can't find a page that can step by step teach newbie flash rom. any 1 can provide me a full detail step by step flash wizard rom??? Currenly my qtek9100 is very very lag, and a lot program that i installed and deleted, but the program icon is still there.
i have some extra question here,
what the different with ROM and RADIO ROM??
my ROM is 2.17, i wish to upgrade to a lastest and smooth ROM, can some 1 give some suggestion??

plz check it
Try this instead

the page is nth to see
I don't think anyone has the time to write out a detailed step-by-step process again for you. If you are having issues with viewing the wiki page, you can try using the search feature to do a little research. If you're still having problems, then I wouldn't recommend trying this. It is a bit technical and takes time to understand.
Then, try this thread

Hi,
Hope someone can help.
Been trying to instal Dutty's wm6.5 R12 rom on my touch hd but whatever I try, it just gets stuck at the screen with the bar and stay at 0%.
I have searched the forum and tried almost everything I could find. SSPL HSPL USPL and all won't work.
Anyone have any ideas for a noob?
i doubt if you can find someone who can guide you step by step, i suggest you study more, i was like you before, but i just persevered, unti i was confident enough to flash my first cooked ROM. CAUSENOT ALL BLACKBONE, have the same default factory settings, different stock ROM versions and different spl.it does require time and patience, but in the end this will al l payback.

yeah, this realy helps. Why do people bother to reply if they have no awnser.
I mean I have read those guides on the forum and been busy for a week on it now. I know what spl version I have and which version of hard spl i would need and so on. But it just will not open up.
So if there is someone out there that wouldn't mind HELPING me I would realy apreciate it. But just telling me to search better is no help at all. I have searched with all terms I know but haven't found the right soulution by myself. That is why I ask for HELP, not for smart asses.

look, no one is being a smart ass here. in addition, your description of the the steps you've followed are very vague. my friend, we see 5-10 posts like this every day and in every case, the OP has missed/skipped one or two steps in the flashing process. simply stated, the guides WILL help you flash your device. if as you stated, "SSPL HSPL USPL and all won't work you have to complete this task first. you HAVE to update your SPL before you can flash Dutty's ROM. put your device in bootloader mode and if IT DOES NOT display the following, you will not be able to flash a ROM:
BLAC120 (or BLAC110) 32M
SPL-1.56.01 OliNex
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v 6
you HAVE to complete this step before you can flash any WM 6.5 ROM. read the guides, make your own easy-to-understand-checklist and follow it to confirm you've completed ALL the steps. be patient and you'll succeed. as a reference, you can use the links in my signature to help you with the process. good luck.
Hi,
I not sure you read the Dummies guide yet.
[TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Troubleshooting - manual SSPL
* Boot up your phone.
* Copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to your phone. In a file browser on your phone browse to where you copied SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and run it.
* Your phone will reboot into its bootloader and should show SPL v 1.07.OliNex.
* When it shows USB at the bottom then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again.
* Go to step HSPL3 if successful.
Try to follow this step. Copy the file to phone and boot from there. then u should be able to do so.
Hi guys and girls,
thanks for trying to help. I do understand that people like me who are new to flashing a cooked rom will ask many silly questions. I'll try and formulate better which steps I have done.
I noticed on my bootloader screen that I have spl-1.54.0000. I therefor downloaded the file SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip and transfered the exe file to my phone memory. I then started it on my phone. It starts the bootloader screen and tells me:
BLAC100 MFG 32M SS-BC
1.07.0liNex XA
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
From hereon I have tried to run USPL but it tells me it cannot connect due to faulty USB drivers which I have updated with the supplied drivers as indicated. Even with a different cable and a different USB port, USPL will not connect.
I have also tried to run the RUU HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe but it then starts the screen with the percentage bar and gets stuck. After a few minutes it comes with either error 260 or 262 wicht is an update failure I have read. Just the fix to start over again and reset your systems didn't do anything for me.
Since I know that poeple are able to use this rom I am defenite that it is by my own shortcommings that I can't seem to do it. But after having tried a lot, I can not see what I am doing wrong anymore.
Hope this is a better explenation and thanks sofar already.
Ps: I have tried both USPL3 and USPL5 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3930878&postcount=3. I just can't seem to connect with USPL.
If you run win7 (and vista) x64 especially, loading unsigned drivers for usb doesnt work by default, this might be your problem.
You could try the following, boot you pc and just after the bios is loaded press F8 (or just keep pressing it multiple times) and a menu will appear which includes: "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" try this, and after boot you should be able to make the usb drivers work, so reinstall them and try uspl (dont forget to not allow usb connections in windows mobile device center)
Hope this helps, if not, move along

I take exception to this. No need to be a smart a**. Obviously jigners was only trying to help, like others before.
If your having difficulty your queries should be directed to the dummies guide thread where people like myself as well as other expereienced users will be more than happy to help you. No need to create a new thread for queries that have been asked umpteen times before.

Hello..
I would like to ask a couple of questions that torture me and i can't find the answer im looking for.
First of all: if i install a cooked rom( i found one from miri) would that lock my HD back to O2, or will it remain unlocked??
Second: now that i downloaded the cooked rom, what else do i have to do to install it? i have done it before, but not with this mobile and not this rom..just connect my phone through the usb and follow the on-screen instructions??
thnx

Flashing a cooked Rom will not lock your device.
As far as instructions go, follow <<THIS>> Guide. Step 1 is to Hard SPL your device. Then Flash your device with the Rom of choice.
Enjoy!
Okay - Sorry reading this too - a ROM won't change the lock status of your phone. If I am right that must be done by an unlocker (pay or contribute).
I wonder if Android might change it.
Cheers

No it wont. Android does not even run as a full rom, it is run off of the sd card after booting into wm.
thnx a lot..i will try it and tell you how it went..hopefully the "patient" will still be alive after the operation
Any queries regarding flashing roms should be directed towards the Dummies Guide thread at top of forum (sticky)

thank you in advance and i`m sorry again for the new thread
Hold down "Home" and hit "Power." Then hit Alt+F.
Also, this should be in Q&A.
i am actually wanting a step by step instruction.
something from the unboxing to the actual booting proces ..
ok the phone is unboxed obviously and unlocked as well .. what next ?

I like the description of the process on this site. it is complete but a little old. The links should work.

READ THE WHOLE THING FIRST.

Lots of the same stuff with more options.
There are new versions of the recovery image and the Roms which are in the development section on xda. Just be sure to read everything a few times and you'll have no trouble.
i will check the site now
thank you
And please please please make sure you understand everything about Haykuro's (Danger/Death) SPL IF you decide to flash it. It's pretty much the only way you can brick your G1. If your ROM doesn't require Death SPL then skip it until you get the hang of flashing things.
Alright ive seriously looked all over the threads and i cant find out how to properly install a rom Ive tried serverl times and nothing works i have a htc pure could some one please point me in the right direction!!!!

Hi vtonyv!
Carefully read through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
The first item on the check list is this file that you need to unlock your phone for flashing custom ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=232404&d=1254155235
The second item in the checklist states that the phone must be connected via active sync or Center for windows mobile in order to unlock you rphone.
You must do this otherwise you will get a error message like the one you described.
So, take your time and read the WHOLE first thread in the top of my post, and and after that go look around this forum for a nice ROM to try.
I recomend any of NRGZ28 ROMs. They show you what your phone should have been when you bought it.
The easiest way to flash your Topaz is to use the SD-card flashing method.
Please look in this excellent guide how to flash your phone!:

Good luck and just take it slow!!
