Re: New Sprint Touch Pro will not update to any ROM
I had this problem with one of my touch pros fror sprint. Do this and it will flash with no problem. Go to settings:connections:usb to pc: and uncheck the box for "enable faster data sync". This may or may not be part of the problem but i unchecked it on my phone before flashing. The phone doesn't seem to take the unlock by either sd card method or by pc because the factory installed boot loader is keeping it from properly installing... (you will notice the quick boot loader screen flash back to normal before it fully takes the spl unlock) It actually doesn't need to be unlocked so flash as usual and DO NOT PUT PHONE IN BOOT LOADER when flashing your new rom!!!!!! Just flash with the phone in normal today screen and let the ruu do all the work and it will automatically go into boot loader by itself so just be patient and wait for it to flash. Trust me I was about to pull my hair out with this problem but it can and will flash if properly connected to your pc via active sync or wmdc in vista. Do what I said here and it will flash.
EDIT: It seems that Sprint somehow is flashing our phones with a new so called "unlocked" boot loader that actually does prevent us from flashing new roms. my TP that i had previously unlocked got relocked by this new sprint update all by itself. No worries heres how to get it unlocked again. First go to settings:connections:usb to pc, and uncheck the box for "faster data sync" and make sure active sync is selected. Next make sure you have active sync in XP or wmdc in vista. connect your phone to your pc and choose active sync for the connection type on your phone if it is set to prompt you. Wait for it to sync then leave your phone in the normal today screen and run the relocker but DO NOT PUT YOUR PHONE IN BOOT LOADER!!! Let the ruu do all the work and it will flash the locker just b patient. After that is finished resync and run the unlock spl the same way as first time. Once you have it unlocked again you can then flash your new roms as usual. I hope this clears it up for you guys having this problem, You can thank Sprint for the sneaky OTA that relocked your spl!!! And don't forget to thank me if this helps you out!
