[TESTING] - NAND OMGB (1.2.3)

[EyeB]

if i could get some help, it'd be great

I seem to be having problems flashing the RHODIMG.nhb from both usb and sd card. It seems to install, it hits 100% but on reboot it acts like nothing got flashed and sets in the serial/usb tri-color screen waiting for something to be flashed

edit: sorry if this is found somewhere but i couldnt find it anywhere :S closest seems to be a hspl but i thought i had that already since i can flash wm roms.

edit: bit more info on flashing the nbh file, it says it is corrupt and couldn't update

edit: Got it, just pointing out incase you hadn't noticed, but the nbh file on the download link is 185kb, the one that worked for me i found later on in thread was a little over 3mb, not sure if something changed for it to be so small now but it works and I'm happy

edit: i know you said its better to use verizon radio, i'd like to stick with sprints for time being, but because of slow speeds is there a way for me to provision/update prl/profile on android side?

Holy crap. So you got it flashed? I was able to flash with the 185kb RHODIMG.nbh. Note, you HAVE TO flash via SD. I'm pretty sure that is spelled out in the directions...

https://code.google.com/p/rhodium-nand/downloads/list

That's the files you want to grab. The latest CWM and the RHODIMG.nbh.

It seems like you managed to get Android installed? Your post is kinda confusing. I don't see why a VZ radio would cause "slow speeds"... You're connected to the same towers? Perhaps you don't quite understand what flashing a VZ radio means - it's just newer radio firmware, so it really has nothing to do with carriers per se. You could be on USCC or MetroPCS and running the VZ radio... Hell you could use the phone in Europe on the VZ radio.

I don't think you can do any provisioning/PRL updating/etc from Android. Do that all in WinMo, then flash Android... I've always recommended that the phone be fully functional in WinMo before you even attempt flashing Android.

I always thought that flashing radio required the security switch turned off, i haven't paid for that yet so I've stayed away from flashing radios

I was able to flash the 185kb nbh after using the 3mb nbh. I don't know why but I needed to. But I was able to flash via USB as well, not just sd card. I think my problem first with sd card flashing was i needed to reformat it, it worked after i did this.

The newest CWM seems to not work for me however, I got it flashed but when I go to recovery, it doesn't let me select anything, I'm not sure if the end call key is still enter but I could move selection up/down with volumn but it couldn't select anything to perform an action

I had the phone working with WM before doing thing, the slow speeds was just sprint >.>

Any ideas how to get gps lock faster? Even using the gps status app to download the agps data it still took about 2-3 minutes for a lock, on your sd card android it locked a bit faster, in like 30-60 seconds. I did use the gps patch on first post

edit: at first I did try the usb flashing since the readme said to "Flash the new NBH, LK will load (USB must be plugged in prior to starting)" so I saw the usb part and assumed it meant flash via usb

I have no clue what you're talking about. To flash a radio is just like flashing a ROM - if you've done hSPL, which obviously you've turned that 'security switch' off... then you can flash a radio.

Now if you mean unlocking the SIM slot so you can flash an unlocked radio, that's different and yes you still have to pay for that I believe. Again, don't mix that up with simply flashing the VZ radio - those are very different things.

End call should be enter (assuming I recall correctly, it's been a while). You should be able to use the enter key on the actual keyboard...

*facepalm*... Does this mean you got past CWM? I can only assume so... oy ve.

GPS is GPS. It doesn't lock well indoors - but on my RHOD400 GPS locks in seconds - less than 10 usually. Make sure you have a clear view of the sky, and perhaps try the Leo injector app thing on detule's GPS testing thread.

You read directions so well

[jevtabg]

I dont understand nothing now.
No step by step tutorial at all.
I have HTC touch pro 2 , Energy rom installed.
Tried FRX07.1 running from SD and GBX from SD and lot of things didnt work.Now i read 2 days already how to flash NAND and no luck.In first post says it's simple well it is not.


Prerequisites

1. Make sure you have a charged battery (at least 70% in WinMo)!!!
2. Must already have ADB working (Make sure you have all the drivers installed).
3. Must have Fastboot working (related to ADB...)
4. Be able to accurately report issues!!!
5. Must have some knowledge on how to flash images!!! (using recovery)

1 OK
2 I downloaded ADB is that all ?
3 What is fastboot and how to check is it working
I have expirience in flashing win mo roms , tried android earlier but gave up

1. Place the all zip files on your SDCARD
2. Place the recovery.img in your Fastboot folder
3. Flash the new NBH, LK will load (USB must be plugged in prior to starting)
4. Open a CMD window and cd to your Fastboot folder
5. Erase everything to start out fresh... (Not necessary if you performed a Task29)

1 ok
2 Where is that folder ?
3 how to flash ??
etc


Is there any step by step guide how to flash HTC touch pro 2.


Thank you !!

OMGB is old... you should try a more updated build.

Also a really great how-to was recently posted to xda-devs for flashing NAND.
