How To Flash Your Touch Pro

[deadz]

I believe I have figured out the problem for me through JD's method at least. When I boot into the boot loader to perform the rom update, the active sync can not see my device, although the boot loader reports it is connected via USB. I assume I need drivers for active sync to be able to see the boot loader is connected? It try's to connect and comes back with unable to detect device.

make sure it says .37 CMONEX not .37.0000 bootloader
if it doesn't you have to unlock it
I had issues unlocking it, I had to first connect using activesync, then run manualssspl.exe on the Touchpro, then run the hardlpl.37 on the computer and that did it.
good luck

Yay, I finally got it. I tried installing on the computer I initially installed the HSPL on and it worked. I remembered when I first set it up it installed a bunch of additional drivers on this computer so I figured that with this one it might work. I also ran the romupdateutility as administratior and verified I had an active sync connection then put it into boot loader mode and it worked no problems what so ever.... Thanks for everyones help...

The steps for PC flashing are the same as the Touch Diamond. I couldn't get the flash process to work using the steps indicated for PC Flashing in this thread. Here is how you can flash a ROM by PC.

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!

When I try the SD card way I see the rainbow colored screen. Something flashes just for a brief second like no image found, but its so quick, I can't tell for sure if thats what it says and then just sits on the rainbow colored boot loader screen until i do a soft reset. My storage card does indeed have JD's image renamed just as mentioned above in the root directory of the SD card. Any ideas? Since flashing the Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037 I have not done a hard reset, is that neccessary to make all this work?? Thanks,

I'm having the exact same problem with my Touch Pro while trying to load _ROMeOS_b2_1_01_OS_ONLY.

P.S. This is my first ROM load. So, it may just be a noob error.

I searched here and xda and don't see a rom by that name so I am guessing wherever you got that rom from it is not meant for the touch pro. Might be wrong but I don't think so. Try flashing JD, shadow, juggs, or hibby's roms. Those 4 are meant for the sprint TP and I have loaded them all at some point so they are all definately working.

I'm pretty sure that rom is from xda and is for the GSM version. Someone else had attempted to flash that one to theirs. Make sure you READ the forum before you do anything.
