Will these instructions and attachments work for a Verizon HTC Touch Pro?

wow guys, i've come a long way, after over 5 hours on working with this phone so far

i've done the radio rom, spc is all 0's, installed mighty mike's ROM, installed the 1013 cricket prl, ran the vougue cricket cab that razors provided, and changed all the EPST settings like i did with the XV6800 on ryan's tutorial...

2 things, i still can't get my internet to work, and i can't make calls.

it seems i can *sort of* recieve calls, and its already displaying i have some voice maisl.

but as far as internet, when i try to go there, it NEVER displays the page asking me for my cricket account information...

please help, it's been a long day

thanks you for the links, and i have posted there but... i am using this mighty rom... so they won't exactly be able to help.

i'm sure it's just a small detail, there must be something i'm missing...

[alfredo-x]

all right, new development...

the thing that was wrong was that this rom doesn't automatically configure your connection settings, so i had to go into settings > connections and set them both to cricket

so now, i have my internet working fine, but i still can't send or recieve calls...

on a sidenote, when i dial my local area numbers, it adds a one on front of my area code...
i'm using PRL 01013

You're welcome. For future reference, you are in the "How to Flash" thread right now, so all discussions and requests in here should pertain to that. So, did you end up flashing a custom rom? If so, which one?

Here is the sprint navigation for you.

USE THIS THREAD TO UNLOCK --wow

see post 50 for indepth detaild instructions provided by egoldy

How to Flash Via PC:

1.download the ruu.zip attachment
2.unzip to your desktop
3.then in the newly created RUU directory add the rom of your choice - (copy the RUU_Signed.nbh to desktop\RUU)
4.Place phone in bootloader mode (power button while holding volume down button)
5.open the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
6.follow the RUU on screen instructions from there

If that fails please trying these directions (thanks sn0b0ard)

1. Establish active sync connection (this is the most important step).
2. Copy the RUU_signed.nbh into the RUU folder.
3. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the steps on screen to flash ROM.
4. Once the phone reboots, go through Windows Mobile setup and let it finish.
5. Perform a hard reset (hold power, volume down, and center d-pad).
6. Complete the Windows Mobile setup and start using your new ROM!


Flash from microSD Card (Thanks to MadlyAlive):

1. Make sure you backup anything that is necessary to your day to day operations! At a minimum, please perform an ActiveSync to Outlook or your Exchange server prior to flashing!
2. Rename the custom ROM NBH file from RUU_Signed.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh
3. Copy RAPHIMG.nbh to the root of your microSD Card.
4. Hold the Volume Down and Power button simultaneously. While you're still holding those 2 buttons, press the reset button with your stylus.
5. When your Touch Pro tells you to do so, press the power button to begin the flash process. If you do not get the message to press the power button to flash, there is a mistake in the name of the NBH file or you do not have the file at the root of your microSD card.
6. When flashing is complete, perform a soft reset.

Thank you much, kind sir......These instructions basically just saved my a** big time!!!!
