Hi there ... newbie who got herself stuck playing with ROMs.
I have a Verizon TP2, unlocked to work on T-Mobile. I know that it was successfully unlocked, because I've been using my phone to get calls, SMS, email, and internet for about a week. Oh, and I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, if that makes any difference.
At first, after flashing to HardSPL (or attempting to, anyway), I then went on to try and flash to
this ROM as suggested along the way to installing
this ROM. I may not have done a proper check that the HardSPL was successful, because it actually didn't change anything on my phone once I did the flash; the screen and settings looked exactly like they'd done before, and I placed a call using the phone to see if it was still functioning on T-Mobile (it was). After making the phone call, I went on to download and install the World Unlocked radio, and got stuck in bootloader.
I proceeded to download a stock Verizon TP2 ROM
from here based on suggestions from the forums to go back to a stock ROM. That got me out of the bootloader, but landed me at the HTC splash screen, which I've been staring at on and off again ever since. I've tried a hard reset (removing the battery, end/power + send/talk + volume down, then volume up to reset to factory defaults); putting myself back in bootloader (removing the battery, end/power + volume down) and trying to reload the first stock ROM I downloaded; re-downloading the ROM file; downloading
a different file for the stock ROM (last one listed under Verizon); and talking to it very, very nicely.
Still no joy.
Anyone have suggestions? I tried to detail what I did as thoroughly as possible, to make my issue easier to diagnose. My phone clearly isn't bricked, but it's not really doing much else useful. All help appreciated!!
PS. Once I get this sorted out, if anyone knows of a ROM that's been cooked specifically for the Verizon TP2/T-Mobile network combination, I'd love to be pointed toward it. Thanks!
