This thread is for unlocking via microSD card. You will find much more proper info and advice in the How To Flash thread here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43266

I also replied to your PM. So, let me know if that worked or not.

yes, if you would have read the full first page you can see that I listed how to also flash from the sd card, its exactly the same concept, you just don't need to use the sspl.exe at that point since you would now be using the HSPL.

Thank you.

if you wish to create a guide that is great, but please make it in your own thread, especially since I don't really want to add any rom specific bias, and I espcially don't want to confuse anyone on rehashed info.

*************************************************
I have already unlocked my Touch PRO. (VIA active sync method)
but i need your help guys please come together on this for me!
*************************************************

Ok, lets talk about UNLOCKING our phone!

NOW I have a touch vouge (my touch pro is just fine ) i would like to unlock the HTC touch vouge, but the stupid USB connector on the phone is broken. So i can NOT use the active sync method

The usb connector CAN only charge the phone, but the active sync does NOT work!

So I used the manual.exe form the memory on device (found on this thread/post), and went to http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
to find the .nbh file for unlocking the phone.

I put the .nbh file for the touch vouge in the 1gb SD card formated to fat32.

Than i ran the manual.exe file from the main memory of the device,

The phone locks up and does not respond, i have to softreset with styles.

Any idea or help please?

Can we use the SSPL-Manual.exe on the HTC touch vouge to unlock ?

[cornelious2]

the vogue is not the same type of phone as the touch pro, you need the pieces from the vogue unlocker if you want to unlock the vogue. the pieces are not compatable.

Thanks for putting this up Cornelious. I'll go find that Hard-SPL thread shoot CMONEX a thanks too.

I did have 1 hitch though: I had an error something about
"MicroP-Wrong Platform" after running "SSPL-Manual.exe".
I tried my 2 GB mico SD and my 8 GB MicroSD and had the same result with both.
Both cards had a good bit of data and PalmOS and Windows Mobile programs on them.
I'm sure the 8 GB has to be formatted FAT32. I think the 2 GB was another one (FAT12 or FAT16) but I'm really not sure.

I just re-formatted the 2 GB in a WinXP machine as FAT32 using my OCZ Trifecta SD-card-sized-microSD-reader/writer (very cool gadget. My 8 GB microSD works in it too!) and all was well.

glad everything worked out for you, sometimes the sd card get slightly corrupted and can go loopy especially the lower quality ones or possibly something else wierd, I only use my 8gb for flashing and unlocking so all I could really think of is a compatibiliy issue/ formatting.
