Can you relock your phone using the SD Card?

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

I'm mobile right now, so kinda limited on my resourcs, but i'm pretty sure you can. Cornelious, you got any info on this?

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

yea he pmed me and i told him how to go about doing it. basically you just need to get the nbh outta the shipped rom and the relocker, then flash the shipped rom and then flash the relocker.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

I am an absolute noob with this stuff, so dont beat me up for asking this question....

is this thread referring to unlocking for use on another network? Because I have been trying to find info on unlocking my TP for use on the Cricket network. Is this the step I need to perform to unlock for cricket..

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

You don't have to unlock your touch pro to use on another network. You have to reprogram it. Unlocking it will allow to to flash custom roms and radios. There is a custom cricket rom that will make the process a little easier for you, so you might as well go ahead and unlock your phone. This thread describes how to unlock your phone via the microSD card, without the use of a computer. The main unlocking/relocking thread is here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

Thanks a million. I finally got the courage to try flashing my ROM (Touch Pro) from the card. Worked like a charm! Installed the Mighty Rom and it is awesome.... so much faster and no bloatware! Time to start cooking I guess.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

AHH SWEET!! I could never Flash or unlock from my SD card. Never had a problem with Vista and Syncing. But I thought doing it from the card might be safer. What happens if you lose your sync while in the middle of Flashing?? Is your phone a brick?

Everyone else seems to be able to do it so i couldnt figure out what was wrong. Finally i saw the SD was in FAT, not FAT32. Now flashing finally works from my SDcard. Im assuming Unlocking would too. All thanks to this Thread.

Besides the question about what would happen if you lost your sync during a flash.
Can you lock your phone with a custom ROM installed? I assume you could but not sure.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

I'll take a stab at your questions.
I'm not sure what would happen if you lost sync during a rom flash, but i'm pretty sure you'd still be able to recover just by putting it into bootloader mode and flashing again. If you were flashing the locker/relocker and lost sync, then that might end up in a brick.

I don't see why you'd want or need to lock with a custom rom, but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.

Sorry...that's the best i could do.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

your right about the failed flash all you need to do is flash again, as for locking a custom rom, it would not boot up.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

Noob question: Do I loose everything on my phone when I do this and load another ROM?

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

When you unlock you will not lose anything. But when you flash a rom it will erase everything, but it won't mess with anything on the microSD card.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

I have a verizon TP and I am trying to unlock from my SD card. You say on the first post that i have to get the "nbh outta the verizon unlocker." I am not sure how to do this because the verizon unlocker is an RUU on cmonex's page. Do you know where I can get an nbh to unlock a verizon phone?

Thanks, you guys are awsome

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

the nbh is in the RUU. Give me a bit and ill see about posting it. Though be warned I have not had ANY experience unlocking the verizon model.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

thanks I unlocked the phone through the computer and flashed a rom. I do want to try to flash through the card. I have a 1gig card that came with the phone and formated to fat32 and when I put it in bootloader mode it just sits there how long should it take to do this?:mrgreen:

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

I forgot to attached two files on my early post. Here those are. No credit for me as I got those files from this great site and forums.

Thank you.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

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.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

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.

OFFTOPIC PLEASE HELP, htc touch vouge unlocking?
 

*************************************************
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 ?

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

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.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

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.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

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.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

This was super easy and very straight forward. Thanks much!

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

I know its not the same, the .ROM file is diffrent!

I was useing the VOUGE ROM, but the manual.EXE from the touchPRO,

Where can we get a manual.exe (the progam you have been running on the HTC PRO main memory) but i need it for the vouge phone!

I already tested the Manual.exe for the HTC PRO but the .EXE file is not compatable!

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

try sspl from the mogul (remember you really stand a good chance at messing up your device using low level items from different phones without knowing what your doing). those are more similar models.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

This is the best way to unlock the phone. Thanks for puting up this thread.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

I've been torturing myself trying to flash from the sd since my computer crashed. I know I'm unlocked because I already have a custom rom, but do I need to unlock a different way to flash from sd? When I go into bootloader with RAPHIMG in the root of the sd, it flashes a real quick message saying no image file then stays on the rainbow bootload and won't do anything. Are there files I'm supposed to put in main memory on the phone? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

You don't need to unlock a different way for this to work. And there's no other files you need. Is your card formatted to FAT32? Are you renaming the RUU_Signed.nbh file to RAPHIMG.nbh? If the file extensions are hidden, then it would need to be named to RAPHIMG

Also, the touch pro doesn't like certain memory cards. Usually bigger ones, like over 8 gigs. So, try a different mem card if you have one.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

I,ve tried 4 different sd cards. a 512mb, 2 1gb, and a 2gb all formatted fat32. I pull thr RUU_signed.nbh to the root of the storage card and renamed it RAPHIMG.nbh in caps and out of caps. I'm sure its a stupid mistake I'm making, I just can't figure out what it is.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

if it looks like RAPHIMG.nbh on your phone try renaming it to RAPHIMG the file explorer hides extensions so if you see one that usually means you named it wrong.

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

I've tried it as RAPHIMG.nbh, RAPHIMG., and RAPHIMG. I'm going to try them all again. Do the file attributes matter as far as hidden or system only file?

Re: unlock your TP via the SD card
 

no, one thing I remember when i first got mytp is the auto correct seemed to want to add an l and made it ralphimg took me a few attempts to realize it did that to me. when you enter bootloader is it not even recognizing anything? get total commander and find the file with that, its a ppc file explorer replacement and it shows the full file names. its really only one of a few things.

1 the sd card is not formated fat 32 (use a pc and a card reader toformat)
2 the file is named wrong itmight be some insanely small detail easy to overlook
3 the file is on the sd card, but was placed in a folder (usually a subconcious attempt to organise)
