(How To) Recover from Flashing wrong Rom
Did you flash the wrong Rom (CDMA on GSM Phone or vice versa)?
Well don't panic (yet). Here is a simple solution that will generally have you working again in no time. First lets go over what you will need:
Tool Required:
1) Computer or Laptop
2) Access to your SD Card
3) Stock Carrier Rom (Or a CORRECT Cooked Rom)
4) Your Rhodium (duh, lol)
Now that you have all the tools you will need, we can get down to buisness.
Fixing that bricked phone:
Step 1) First download either the Stock Carrier Rom (SCR) or a Cooked Rom for your device
Step 2) Now extract the archive to your desktop and look for the .nbh file (This is the Rom)
Step 3) Now that you have your Rom it is time to rename it, Rename it to "RHODIMG" (Do NOT add the quotations and DO NOT add .nbh, it will add this itself. If you add either of these it WILL NOT WORK
Step 4) Now you need to put the RHODIMG.nbh file on the ROOT of your SD
Step 5) Now you can disconect from your Computer (assuming you connect to add the Rom Image to your SD Card)
Step 6) Now its time to enter your Bootloader. Here is how to enter Bootloader:
Turn off your device using the power button
When the device is turned off press the volume down button + Power button
Your device will startup in Bootloader mode
Step 7) Now on your screen you should see the words "OS" and "RHODIMG", If you see these two words, then Press your Power button to ReFlash your device.
Step 8 ) Now you will see a loading bar, once it is done your screen should say something along the lines of "Complete" and "Success".
Step 9) Now one of two things will happen. Either the system will auto reboot (some roms do) or you will hang at the success screen, in this case do a manual SOFT reset (via the button behind the battery cover)
This is all there is to it. You should now have a fully functional phone again. I have the Rhodium400 (Sprint) and I have personally used this method to fix an incorrect flash.
Hope this helps at least one person out there. Good luck.
