First I'd like to mention that I am grateful for all the developers on XDA working on these phones. I'm no programmer but I know plenty who are in all fields so I can appreciate what you are all doing.
I just wanted to create this thread to see how close we are to getting our hands on the HardSPL for Rhodium and any updates on development.
I've had my Touch Pro 2 for about a week and half now and already bored with it. The phone itself is great, but Windows Mobile 6.1 seriously sucks.
I really want to start using Windows Mobile 6.5, which brings me to why I created this post.
If anyone can shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.

Olipro and cmonex are still searching for mobile devices with hynix memory to test some stuff.
In short, don't expect anything soon and have patience
what
how do we know if it has that memory so others can help look.
just asked permission to Olipro if it was ok if I wrote a tutorial regarding this...
Uhm...I'll open a new thread with step-by-step instructions on how to help them out
Hope it will help them. Gimme about an hour to write a detailed tutorial.
*EDIT* Tutorial is up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4035499#post4035499
hmm this thread will be good for the usual "hardspl waititing posts".. when release comes, we (olinex) will just create the real hspl thread, so mods will not have to clean up for release (like for topaz they had to).
as to why this flash type checking is so important: on topaz the hynix ones really just got lucky by not getting their mfg partition corrupt. (no one got it corrupt but as i said that was luck) i want to avoid any such problems on rhodium.

Does this mean there is a feasible solution for Samsung based units ?
I am surprised that it makes a difference based on the fact HTC wont have made a separate spl for hynix based units. and rom upgrades will contain the same info...
can hard spl for samsungs be realeased with a link to the tutorial on how to ensure you have samsung?
darides tutorial suggests most people seem to have samsung anyway.
infact has ther been a hynix unit seen in the wild?
Cheers

Perhaps Olinex can make a version for samsung that checks on the sspl that the memory is samsung or not. to avoid bricks or other problems.
I have not seen or know anyone with hynix memory on their tp2 after checking about 5 different units from my friends and family they are all samsung. My vodafone one is samsung too.
it's great news for me
is it a problem if everybody have the samsung chipset ?
just letting you know no updates yet - was busy in real life
what is real life ?

Please can we have an ETA for the release of the HardSPL.
Hi Guys,
I can't put into words how much I respect and revere the information posted on your web-site and I apologise for asking the million dollar question. But I need to know.
Can we please have an ETA / timeline for the release of the HardSPL for our HTC Rhodium.
I hate my Vodafone UK branded HTC Touch Pro 2. It is red and so am I with anger. Joking aside I love HTC standard ROM's. The last one I put on my HTC Touch Pro was amazing.
Please, keep up the work....
Kind regards...

If you want to flash the HTC Shipped ROM, look out for the Goldcard methods. I'm not going into detail here because it's off topic and well documented else where. If all else fails cmonex normally helps via PM.

I can totally understand people begging for this. I nervously waiting for it to, but not to install custom ROMs. I'm waiting for it to get blackberry connect running. To achieve that I need to manipulate the device ID in the ROM itself, to fool RIM, let them think it's running on a proper device. But to flash this manipulated ROM I need HSPL (or does someone know a way to manipulate the device ID (HTC-Rhodium) in another way?).
However, asking and begging does not help or make stuff easier or getting it done faster. We all need to be brave and patient and wait a bit and let olipro and cmonex get this stuff done.
Cheers

Sorry to go a bit OT here but I am interested in your info about Blackberry Connect. I have just come to the TP2 from a Storm and one thing that is lagging behind with the TP2 IMO is the push email, would the 'updated' ROM you are proposing allow me to use the pushmail service from BB ?
Thanks,
Neil

Being a fresh hand is no excuse for not reading the threads that are already here that clearly state it hasn't been done yet! Seriously, a little common sense would go a long way around here.
Hi,
currently it's only possible with hardware unlocking tools like XTC clips.
But the software update for this unlocking device which is needed to be able to unlock the IS hasn't been publicly released yet. Only some testers got the update and posted their success.
I don't know of any other tool that can unlock the IS at the moment.
If someone knows of another piece of hardware (except riff/jtag where you need to disassemble your IS) that can do that already, please post

even XTC clip can't do it at the moment because you haven't released the update
why not be a bit more "transparent" and let the community help. Release it as a beta with a use at your own risk warning..
Some people with sim locked phones will try it, post their success/failure and you would know if it worked or not.
When xtc clip supports IS I will buy one, beta or full version.

IF there's still no software root available when the XTC Clip update finally is available, I'll also buy one.
Switching to the IS from a rooted device, it feels so uncomfortable to suddenly being not able to use many features you were used to for so long..
I've placed an order for the XTC clip two days ago and I am waiting for the clip and the update

You don´t need 50 succeded unlocked htc phones videos to proof that ur device is working, just release the update of ´`offing´` the incredible s and desire s b4 other tools do, then u will have more customers, we all read all the forums around and know what this tool can do and what not, so my advice is to release ´`at least as beta´`, and u will se how many will buy and test, that is not god for u and for the xtc as a product to release, when other solutions are released and tested, no sense for a paid product to release updates, when free solutions are storming here and there, even if they r more difficult to apply than the paid xtc-clip one.

Has anyone read this article: http://androidspin.com/2013/05/01/htc-one-s-off-achieved-htc-users-can-now-rejoice-as-well/
how long do you think until this is possible for all end users?
Firstly, this is posted in the wrong section. Don't post in this section of the forum.
Secondly, this is old news.
Third, you have to pay for them to open up your device and s-off it. As the article says, if you pay for s-off, you dont deserve it.
Sent from my HTC One
Sounds like JTAG
thats been posted before i dont think it will help devs here as thats been done via jtag
It's my understanding that S-Off is an unneeded feature as far as this community goes. It only allows one to flash unsigned things that the developers here don't work on, such as radios. A regular bootloader unlock is all that's needed for the huge majority.
I would still like S-off just bc the freedom of flashing whatever RUU we want. considering AT&T is still non existent which is ridiculous . but hell no I would not open up my phone to get it. if that's the kind of Jtag there talking about... it will come in time I am sure
I'm sorry for posting in the wrong area & was not aware that this is old news, as i only recently aquired my HTC ONE and was not up to scratch with what was happening!

I don't know, the latest jumponitbear for HTC phones have depended on a "wire trick", where one took off the battery cover and shorted two wires together at the same time as running the software hack. Since our One is a fixed battery, we may never see S-Off.
hey everybody i was wondering if anybody has a stock nandroid backup for a Rogers HTC one here in canada?
I know there was one posted by Whampahoofus but it seems the site is down and I'm in desperate need of one cause i have to send the phone back due to the screen peeling off
( Yea literally the glue around the screen is coming apart and the whole front screen is starting to separate from the phone)
so if anybody who has it please kindly let me know or if you know there is somewhere else to get it
thanks in advance
also im very sorry to hear about Bugsy. My best wishes to Bugsy may you get well soon

The mod said I have to ask for SPECIFIC advice so here goes :
I have now been BANNED from posting or commenting on HTC Italia on facebook.
Last I spoke to HTC on the phone, I was given a regional manager for italy and malta who invited me not to call him again because he is a busy man,
I have email HTC's international relations at [email protected] at the behest of HTC United States online support, who suggested I email them and that I seek legal action against HTC in italy via a consumer protection agency.
I am trying to pressure HTC to intervene in this issue by posting on their official facebook page (not htc italia, just HTC)
Does anyone have any advice for me ? What should I do ? Should I actually file a claim against HTC Italy ? Or should I wait and see if they cave in from the pressure ?
I am certain that I am legally absolved of all responsibility because HTC chose an uninsured shipping option, therefore the courier did NOT check the integrity of the phone. I have been lied to repeatedly by HTC italy's management therefore speaking to them is not really an option
Help anyone ?

General section
What goes here
Guides, Collections, Tutorials (can also be posted in Q&A)
General information about the device
Tips and Tricks
Every general discussion about technical aspects of device
What does not go here (by far an uncomplete list, just some examples for topics that are not tolerated)
Everything prohibited by above linked forum rules.
"Whis is the best rom for this device", "Is this rom better than that" (always subjective, prone to fanboy wars)
Device comparison threads "Which is better: iphone or this phone" (see above)
"What was your last phone/will be your next phone" (Off-Topic to this phone, post that in OT-Forum)
"Hello"/"Goodbye"/"Merry Christmas,Easter,Hannukkah, whatever" (Obviously OT, just imagine every user posts that)
"I'll never buy HTC again", "Why HTC/Samsung/whoever sucks" and all other "hate"-threads (Tell that those guys, not us)
"Help!", "How do I...", "Why..." and all other Questions (belong in Q&A)

Please next time use the Q&A thread if you want to ask any questions or if you need any advice. -->thread moved I have read your other thread and I understand your frustration but this forum is not the right place to post complaints against HTC, like said in the forum rule quoted above, "tell those guys (HTC), not us". If you are 100% sure of everything you are saying and HTC don't want to help you then go ahead and take the necessary actions (for example, filing a complaint to your local consumer protection agency). Unfortunately, we can't help you with this kind of "legal/warranty/find-the-guilty" issue here. You may want to continue to argue with them, I'm almost sure that if you take "legal actions" to get your phone back and repaired, this will take a very long time.
Hope you'll get your device soon and good luck.

don't you have a way to stop payment on the phone ?
did you pay in cash ? if you used a credit card just refuse the payment and let HTC take it up with them.

When it comes to warranty returns it is your responsability to make sure it get to them the same way you have it and without any proof that it was done by the courier, there is nothing you can do.

Odd. That maybe the way they do it there.
I am really sorry you are going threw this. HTC is normally very good about things like this.
Yeah I honestly just blame the people managing the technical service here, they're just incredibly rude! I'm going to call HTC in Taiwan in an hour and see if I can get this sorted out !
Update: HTC Italy have now admitted to having the responsibility for damaging my device, they told me my device will be fixed under warranty as returned to me 'as new', I'm gonna call HTC Taiwan just to double check that they don't have to send me a new device.
Given the experience I just had, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation my advice is BOMBARD them with complaints and post on their public facebook pages until they take you very seriously
