Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

It Has to do WITH PC, I did install framework 3.5 still nothing in my Laptop....

So I notice that some of this Customized rom get updated frequently...with the pin back up, I could back up Contacts, About calendar and email set up ? do I have to manually update eveytime ?

Thank you all

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

I also have the same rom version as these guys.

Running Windows Vista 32 Bit.
Installed .NET 3.5 Framework
Disabled the Networking mentioned earlier in the thread
Ran the Update Utility.

After going through all the steps, the phone is stuck on the progress bar. The computer than gives a error[262] UPDATE ERROR. communications error.

I have tried on 2 different laptops. Same process, no go.
The bootloader screen does show unlocked although the update never happens nor can I install any roms.

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

Ditto - mine with 1.09 just unlocked with no issues using Vista. Simple and easy...

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

It's right.

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

Reminds me of a network troubleshooting assignment back in the day (when I did real tech work for a living). Got a 911 call - major Fortune 500 client had network outage, field service had been out the day before to upgrade HW, and now network didn't work. I spent 4+ hours doing SW diags, troubleshoooting - nada. So I open up cabinets, poke around and discover HW guys had forgot to re-plug in a cable...

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

tried the hardspl 0.57 in the stickied thread and it worked. go figure.

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

My Sprint Diamond has been unlocked. I have installed Juicy 2.1 and 2.2 so far.

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

This is mentioned in step #3 :D see also #13 to make sure your are unlocked ;-)

IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS UNLOCKING THIS THREAD IS A MUST READ !!!!

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

I got the same question today when I update my DIAMOND to the latest sprint rom. In tri color screen, got the SPL-0.64 ver. My solution is: copy the sspl-manual.exe to the device and run it from device. Started 0.43 OMEX spl. then flash the extracted 0.57SSPL.

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

for the ones still having trouble, do you have another usb device connected to the pc? i coulndt unlock or flash with my usb drive connected at the same time. im running xp on my laptop and pc. good luck!

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

Thank you..... Out of thanks but will hit you up tommorow!


OP: Serious here... If you think its unlockable fed ex it to me for just one day and I will turn it around the very next morning. It will be unlocked. I just can see this becoming unlockable.

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

Reading the unlocker thread will do you no good. The new sprint rom has some sort of new protection in it. I unlocked 3 brand new phones today with the old sprint rom to flash them over to cricket with no problems. The 4th phone had the newest sprint rom and it gives the same error other people are reporting. So with this its not possible that anything is wrong with my setup as the 3 phones with the older stock roms worked fine.

You also cant flash another rom while in boot loader as it disables the usb connection while in the bootloader or something to that effect as I just get a rom update failed.

Looks like sprint is catching on.

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

I've found that my diamond required a different driver for connection in bootloader mode, so unplug your diamond from puter, put it in bootloader mode then plug it in and see if windows loads a new driver.

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

Have you tried flashing from the internal memory?

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

i flashed sprint rom2.00.651.7 got link right from sprints site to htc. Thought this was the latest official sprint rom. But it did not lock me out from reflashing another rom after. I hope its not a new form of protection they are using. I know i would never get this phone if it was still stock. Everytime i try to use it with stock reminds me how close i was to returning it. Even with new rom picture mail wont work text are sent slow with the annoying message sent alert, and battery seems to drain so much faster only got about 4 hrs with the same use i get 8 hrs from on other roms.

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

That's what I had to do to mine. Launch the "manual" bootloader and run the unlocking utility.

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

So, does this mean that if we are already unlocked before upgrading to the new Sprint Stock Maintenance release that we will probably be okay and be able to stay unlocked?

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

not sure but thats what happened with me. I remember when i had first tried flashing the leaked test rom it automatically locked the phone. But just ran the unlocking process and it worked fine after.

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

I did not have to unlock my phone. I accidently flashed a GSM rom to my phone (XDA + my lack of attention to detail = boot loop), so I had to revert to stock. It didn't relock my phone.

I'm not sure if anyone has had an experience with the SS Maintc release locking their phone. Apparently, we 2 have not had a bad experience.

Just a heads up, most of the stuff at XDA is GSM unless otherwise stated. :-)

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

I got a refurbished phone and decided to put the new sprint diamond rom on before I did the unlocker so that I would get the radio update before unlocking and loading grooverom 5. I also had the rom update failure trying to unlock, it just hung on the rainbow screen and never rebooted. The rainbow screen said security unlocked and cmonex but it never rebooted and when I checked, it definitely hadn't taken. ](*,) When I tried to load grooverom hoping that it was unlocked from the new sprint rom as someone else suggested, it also either hung trying to write the rom and some of the failures even crashed my XP pro/sp2 machine hard with noises and the BSOD ](*,)](*,). I tried disabling the advanced network and that seemed to be what took my XP machine down, but then I couldn't not crash it.](*,)](*,)](*,)....UNTIL......

I realized/remembered SPB backup was running on the taskbar of my PC and while I had closed it when it opened a sync window when I hooked up activesync, that didn't get rid of the instance on the taskbar. I tried closing the instance on the taskbar before I hooked up active sync for the rom unlock and miracle of miracles, the unlocker worked!!!!! I then finally installed grooverom. My first custom rom!!!! =D>=D> I'm pretty sure spb backup was messing with activesync and that's what did it. Did you perchance run spb backup in between the first 3 sprint phones that worked and the last one that didn't? I had switched to a different cable (didn't seem to work) and then finally that different cable with a different USB port on the attempt that worked, but I really think SPB backup was the culprit!

Can anyone confirm this? I hope this is the answer and this helps someone else!

I'm really enjoying the ROM, but really think the titanium is almost as annoying as tf3d. What I really liked on 6.1 was BigHTCHOME.cab. After all the work I've spent customizing, I'm almost afraid to try it on 6.5, do you think it will work on 6.5 if I turn titanium off? Do you think my SPB backup works on 6.5? It runs, even looks pretty good when I expand the bacup file, but do you think it gets everything and will be useful to restore if I do mess things up? I always have activesync for contacts, but I hate rebuilding all my email accounts and phone faves, and preferences, etc.

I do love all the programs out there on this rom! I thought about going simple rom, but it didn't look like it had voice command and I can't live without that!

Thanx Groove!!!! Great work!!!!! It inspired me to download the whole kitchen and check it out!!!! Thanx :headbang::headbang::headbang:=D>=D>

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

I had same problem when I got my phone from insurance. I had to actually relock my phone and then unlock it again for it to work.

Hope that helps

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

Thats odd. i run the new sprint maintenance release before i flash new roms daily and never had a problem. i did get my phone replaced about 3 months ago so i might not have the latest protected unit. does anyone else have a brand new diamond that is running into this!?>!?

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

I will be getting a replacement from insurance soon so I will test that out. I need to have it unlocked to use some of the roms on here

Re: New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?
 

I was having issue with unlocking my Sprint Diamond I found this was a USB driver issue. Here is what I did to resolve the issue. I put my Diamond in Bootloader mode opened device manager on my PC I plugged in my Diamond so I could see the USB port list change so I so I could find the USB port where the PPC was plugged in the driver was something like Windows CD Device once located I deleted the driver. Double click on the USB port opens the properties second tab is drivers click box for remove driver. Then I unplugged the Diamond hit the reset let the Diamond come back to today screen. I reset the PC plugged in the Diamond let it connect via ActivSync once connected I ran the unlocker when the Diamond went in to Bootloader I get the updating drivers then a warning message select ok to use then the device is ready to use message and the unlocker ran and my Diamond is now unlocked. I have a Windows XP PC and dot net framework 3.5 service pack 1. It took me 4 hours of trying to figure this out so I hope this helps someone I hate to think I spent all that time figuring this out and no one get any use out of it.
