1, Find some way to get your battery charged. If you can't find another TP2 most Cell Repair shops and Camera repair shops have "universal Flat battery charger ... Google it" that will do the job.
2, Download the latest Official ROM from your carrier or in the upgrade forum the CDMA's are

3, This is the finicky part you might have to do this a few times to become efficient, Remove the mini usb cable from the phone but leave it plugged into the PC remove the battery but leave it in the battery cavity just up from the pins, plug the mini USB into the phone, in my hands I hold the phone in my left hand, ring and pinkie bracing the right side, thumb on the Volume Down button, middle finger bracing the center of the battery holding it in place index finger getting ready to push the battery into place, right hand index finger on the top right corner and thumb on the End Call button.
When ready push both Volume Down and End Call there isn't a sequence here they just have to be pressed before inserting the battery by sliding it in with your left index finger.
Now I had to do this a number of times before I got it right and then sometimes it would not work even if I was doing it exactly right so you have to keep at it. If Boot loader does not show up after 10 - "50 (exaggeration)" times and you know you're doing exactly as I'm saying this might not be your problem! but when it does... good go to next step.
4,You have to do the Previous step two more times, once to pass the verifying Information check, it needs to see Boot Loader to go to the next step, then the last time to flash the rom but you need to be fast with your right hand because you only have 3 seconds to get the RUU flashing.
My RUU went Double click RUU/next/check box, next/check box, next.....verifying, which I had 40sec to get the phone to Boot Loader before software error.
Second time it went check box, next/check box, next.....verifying another 40sec before erroring.
I bricked my phone 3 times and brought it back 3 times to make sure this info was accurate!
Please post back here if any questions, but most of all post back here if it works for you!
And if you want to hear about my story keep reading below!
TELUS Touch Pro2 CDMA
Energy.RHODCDMA.23699.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.DinikGla ss.Nov.25
I'll try and keep this a step by step how-to but I also want to note how I got into this predicament as I know I will not be the only one!
This was my flash dance. (it may not be how you do it or did it, this is only for reference)
Preflash Setup
Remove the battery and the SD Card then reinstall the battery, once booted Disable Data Connection then go to Start/Settings/System/Wipe Device.
Clear Phone
Once booted Disable Data Connection and connect to the computer Via USB, I had re-establish the connection with Windows Mobile Device Center but not set up your device then Run Task29, and this is where I screwed up apparently... the few seconds it takes was a just enough time for me to fall asleep!
I woke up 7 Hours latter to my Phone vibrating and restarting but only going as far as the first Splash Screen I didn't think anything of it at first I just took the battery out as I always do after Task29, reinsert it and hit Volume Down and End Call but it did not go into Boot Loader, I tried it a couple more times but no luck.
So I left it plugged in while I searched PPCGEEKS and XDA's forums for TP2 not going into Boot Loader mode and came up with a lot of if it will not go into Boot Loader it's bricked sorry!
I was not accepting this I like my phone and I am going to fix it. While searching, my brick kept turning its self on and shutting off at the first splash screen It would do this every 5 min or so, and I did read someone's post to get a new battery but I know that the battery is still good because I had over 24 hours on the last charge, which got me thinking is this why everyone says make sure your phone has a good charge before flashing.
So I took the battery down to the local Cell Store and they had a TP2 that just had a new screen put in and they knew it worked they put the battery in and it would not boot they checked the battery with a multi meter and sure enough it was dead so they put it back in to the Repaired TP2 and charged it for 6 hours when I picked it up they booted their TP2 up and it showed 75% charge so I took it home stuck it in my TP2 and nothing no boot or Loader so I tried something else I read but this was for a different problem, hold the Volume Down and End Call and put the battery in while plugged in usb-PC and Viola Boot Loader but it shutoff 3 seconds later and then would not go into Boot Loader again!
So I know the battery had charge and I saw Boot Loader so I pulled the battery again but this time for 20 seconds then held Volume Down and End Call and slid the battery in ha Boot Loader but shutoff 3 seconds later it only does it while plugged into the computer.... I'm onto something here!
After some serious thought I figured that I tried some trial and error stuff to much to list but one thing got better results I ran task29 and put the phone into Boot Loader mode by my method above and hit update on task29 and the phone went through the whole process without shutting off until Task29 was finished then it booted to the first Splash Screen then shutoff would not boot again!
So I thought that if I tried this with the ROM I wanted to flash (listed above) which it I guess takes too long to initiate and the phone shuts off before burning, so I tried the stock TELUS ROM and it worked stayed on through the flash and rebooted and started up YAY!!
Flashed my Favourite ROM Builders rom and works awesome..... but not liking the bugs in the new rom! but that is another Thread!
