Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

Hey Guys I been flashing since the mogul days... I been flashing my tp since February with my 2gig sd card. I sinced purchased a 8gig sd card some three ago. The 2gig is getting full and I need to move over to 8gig soon. I do all of my flashing from the sd card, Is it not safe to flash from a 8gig sd card? What do I need to do to flash from 8gig card ? Thank You

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

there's nothing wrong with flashing from an 8gb card or any size card. just make sure it's formated to FAT32 and it should work fine.

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

yea I only flash from an 8 gig and even 16 gig would be no problem as long as its formatted fat32 properly

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

mine keeps coming back to the press power button to start update. any suggestions?? i have already done it and every time my phone restarts it goes to this menu

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

Hey there and welcome to ppcgeeks. unfortunately, it sounds like you got the rare "unbootable cycle". It is explained in the first post of this thread. All you have to do is flash a rom to get out of the unbootable cycle. You can flash a rom from the sd card following the instructions in the first post of this thread, or you can flash a rom from bootloader mode following the first set of instructions here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43266. Every time your phone goes into bootloader mode, it checks the sd card for an nbh file and tries to load it. That's what your phone is doing now.

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

thnk you very much.. it works now ! :mrgreen:

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

ok now i have another problem.. i am trying to flash it over to metro and they said that houdini cant read my phone.. any advice?

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

ok,my keyboard went out.i successfully unlocked my tp using these steps.im taking it back so i relocked but instead of 00.370000 it says 00.350000 just wanna make sure i relocked correctly

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

.35 is the verizon spl.
if you're sprint, like your profile says, then you need the sprintrelocker (.37) in the first post.

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

would i need to unlock again?

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

shouldn't have to

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

everytme i try relocking it from the pc it just sits at 0% and when i tried doing it with the sd card.. i goes all white and says loading for hours.. what do i do?

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

you did format the card FAT32? i'm about to relock one of my TouchPro's today...

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

yea the card is in fat32. it reads the file but it just sits there saying loading...

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

you told me that it went all the way thru successfully the first time you did the relocker, so...you are just getting the unbootable cycle now. now you have to flash the shipped rom that you can download here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

ok well i got my in active tp to 0.37 when i was flashing shipped rom to active tp it was saying 0.37 but then got an error and went back to 0.35

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

so i relocked successfully via the SD Card, here is what i did:

1. Flashed back to shipped stock sprint rom
2. Downloaded the relocker
3. Extracted the nbh file and placed on root of SD Card
4. Flashed it like a normal ROM


Now its stuck in bootloader,

with the SD Card still in it get the eternal loop of "loading..."
with the SD Card out it says the following:

RAPH800
SPL-0.37.0000
MicroP-Herman (LED) v0C85
MicroP-Herman (KEY) v0685
PSOC-Raph STAGE_EVT v20

Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again

*edit* now where'd I put that stock ROM... or should i just send it to sprint like this :D

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

lol. i did that with alltel once, a long time ago. Because they didn't have a shipped rom, so i thought i was screwed. so i just sent it to them like that. that was before i knew about mtty.

man...it seems like the unbootable cycle is happening an awful lot lately.

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

puff that what happened to me i flashed shipped rom again then it goes from spl 37 to 35.could i send it to sprint like that with no problem?

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

well if i do fix it, it will have to later on tonight as the girls just woke up from nap... ;-)
i just thought i'd give you some feedback and step by step what I did... :D

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

it's simple to fix by just flashing the shipped rom. if i were you, i wouldn't take an unneccessary chance of them saying you voided the warranty.

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

PLEASE HELP

i needed to prepare my phone to ship back to sprint and wanted to revert everything back to stock.

I accidently flashed a stock sprint dumped rom, then flashed a relocker on the tpro. Now its stuck in the unbootable cycle red/green/blue screen.

I was supposed to flash a STOCK SHIPPED rom, but i couldn't find a stock rom as a standalone .nbh file

i only saw .exe ones that flash via usb cable.

but my usb port on the phone is defective/unresponsive (cannot hookup to a/c charger nor usb cable to computer)

now i can only flash via SDcard.

Is there anyway out of it?

I looked at mtty, but since the usb is broken i don't know what to do now.

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

it might be uploaded somewhere else, but i have the shipped stock sprint nbh
oh well... give me a few and i'll upload it :D

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

I just put the shipped rom on the sd card (here is were an SD card reader is nice) and flashed one more time like normal and it worked fine for me... i seriously wonder if there is two variants of the TP hardware or something...

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

ok upload is completed :D

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

thank you it worked

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

np, needed to extract it myself so i figured might as well post it :D

FYI - to extract the nbh from the exe i used 7zip

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

I have been reading through these posts all night. I am having the sam problem with trying to relock my phone and have followed all of the instructions I could sort out.

Here is what I have done yet far :)

-- I have succesfully flashed to the shipped ROM from the USB connection.
-- I have downloaded the relocker zipped file, unzipped it, ran the executable and took the signed NBH, renamed it to RAPHIMG.NBH
-- I formatted my Kingston 2 gig SD card to FAT 32 by setting the Touch Pro to connect as hard drive instead of active sync, then formating from the OS.
-- I then took the relocker renamed nbh file and placed it in the root of my SD card.
-- I hold down power and volume down for a soft reset
-- My phone instantly jumps from the tri colored screen to a grey screen showing "Loading..." forever.


EDIT:
To clarify I have also downloaded the SPRINTRELOCKER.ZIP which contains a RAPHIMG.NBH, extracted it, and placed it on the formated Micro SD card. Then I used the setmanual to flash it from the phone. Flash completed succesfully, but when I go back to the bootloader it still shows that the security is unlocked.

What am I missing here? Any ideas? :)

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

are you sure you flashed the shipped rom, and not the dumped rom?
the executable file in the first post just goes on your phone to trigger the bootloader mode.
there's no file renaming required with the files provided in the first post. they are already properly named.

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

"Security Unlocked" means nothing. you have to look at the spl version.
0.37.0000 = locked
0.37.cmonex = unlocked

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

+ 1 with razor if you see the word cmonex then your still unlocked, if cmonex is not present your phone is locked.

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

Really? Mine does say 0.37.0000 so I guess it in fact did work. :)

So Sprint wouldn't know that it had been unlocked if I needed to return it for repairs? (the video display jumps all over at times, tried everything to fix it)

Does it say Security Unlocked straight from the manufacturer? I never took the time to look prior to unlocking the phone...

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

yep it says security unlocked from the getgo

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

Very good to know! Thank you guys for responding so quickly! :) I had spent hours trying to fix something I had already fix! LOL!

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

no problem, I bet now you have the process mastered youll be able to switch from lock to flash to lock and back again no sweat.

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

you're welcome man. anytime

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

is there anywhere else you can check the spl version besides the boot loader I'm having issues with my screen going super choppy and it just happens to be choppy over the spl version.

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

nope. if you ran the relocker and it completed successfully, it should be locked.

Re: unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!
 

Well, I am officially stuck. I'm not one to ask for help but I am at my wits end with this thing.

I needed to go back to the stock ROM and relock. My hardware keyboard stopped working so I decided to take it in for repair.

I flashed to the stock ROM fine. When I went to relock it crapped out when it could not get an active sync connection. No problem, I will just copy over the necessary file to my SD card and do it that way. Nope, stuck at the loading... screen. Now I can not get it to resync so I can flash the stock ROM again. Also can't get any PC to recognize either one of my SD card readers.

I am stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
