Hi all, first time flasher here.
I have Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037 unlocking my Sprint CDMA Touch Pro and Downloaded Davideuck's V-4 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487602 )
When I enter the Raphael_CustomRUU v1.2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410761 ) exe it gives me the signs that ye normally expect. However once I click on the Next button to start the flash ActiveSync will lose the connection, my device goes into the Bootloader, gives the progress bar and at 1% it errors out, restarts and I get this on the RUU:
"Error [244] : Invalid Model ID

This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your Update Utility."

I've also tried installing it via memory card, it'll flash a quick message of "No Image Found" then sit in the Bootloader screen till I reset it.

How can I flash my Raph?

Dear CeltREI,
I have flashed three times. The And each time I had the same issue. When the UpdateUtility says it failed, disconnected the phone from the USB cable and reconnect it. Then run the utility again. This has to do with, from my experience with the instructions that are given on these pages. The ROMUpdateUtility will put your phone into the flash mode. Go to RUU folder (I put it on the desktop), run the RomUpdateUtility (you must already have your unzipped your Rom of choice in this same RUU folder, it is named RUU_signed.nbh). The ROMUpdateUtility will automatically will go through the proper steps, including telling you when to connect your USB cable. When the screen gives you instructions on things to do before going to the next step, then you want to make sure the phone is connected. It's worked each time once I have just followed the instructions on the ROMUpdateUtility.

Whenever you get the invalid model id error, that means you are trying to flash a rom that was made for a different phone. That rom that you got from xda is for the GSM Touch HD (Blackstone) phone. You must get a cdma rom for the Touch Pro. Here is the main place to get the proper roms for your device. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=68

very helpful information..... thanks so much

... I just found my problem. Was trying to flash a Blackstone ROM onto a Raphael.
I downloaded a Raphael ROM and it flashed successfully, though now I am having different issues. It is now in an endless loop where it loads to the "TOUCH pro" first screen, no red numbers pop up and it resets to loop again.
I'm downloading the stock sprint ROM to see if I can sd card load it, though tried with a different cooked ROM to no luck already.
Any help?

EDIT: And I found my answer for that. Turns out I was trying to flash GSM ROMS on my CDMA Pro. Downloading the sprint one and will look more here for ROMs than the mainly GSM xda-devs.

/desk->forehead.

Just glad I didn't brick my phone

I already gave you help. Scroll up and look at my reply to your previous post, then let me know if you have any more questions. You probably tried to flash a GSM rom again. That's pretty much all there are in the xda raphael forums. I'd be glad to help you out any further. Just let me know.

Yes...you need to unlock your phone first by following these detailed instructions here. After you have successfully unlocked your phone, you go here and download which ever radio you want to try out and follow the instructions in the first post of this thread on how to flash it.
