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

what that means is the bootloader cannot detect the file, so I go back to what I said earlier.

tripple check the name (if you renamed it on the phone you will not see the extension so it should just read RAPHIMG) there are a few exceptions to that.
if you really have it on the root of the card, the other two things to check is if you enabled card encryption, and lastly try reformatting the card. it may show up as fat 32 but sometimes the format gets corrupted.

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

does anyone know if you can flash the telus radio using this sd method?

I have tried to no avail. I renamed the .nbh of the radio 1.11 to RAPHIMG.nbh and placed in SD Card root... in MY DEVICE i have copied SSPL-MANUAL.exe. I have tried entering bootloader thru TP's file explorer (double clicking sspl-manual.exe) and via volume down +power and i have not been given the opportunity to press POWER to flash.
I have formatted with fat32 numerous times and im not sure why my device wont flash. Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA

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

you can flash any of the radios via sd method. maybe you have file extensions hidden. try just naming the file to RAPHIMG

or...use this to format your card, then try it again. http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/pag...geManager.aspx

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

thx for the timely response... i tried using nue rom storagemanger but it wont let me format because it says the sdcard is in use... i have soft reset and tried again and somehow somewhere my phone is accessing the card and wont let me format via storagemanager...

What exactly is the purpose for the SSPL.exe in the MYDEVICE... is it possible i have the wrong file in that location.. the .NBH is in the root of the SD card so I dont believe that is my problem.. TIA

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

as for having the SSPL on your device, I just remember that being the way it worked for me when I came up with the process, your free to try putting it on your sd card and running it from there, but while I will try to help you, I am not responsible for any messed up phones/flashes etc.

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

Can someone point me in the right direction I've been unlock for a few months now , but my touch pro went swimming last week ..... anyway after drying it out 4 a week to my surprise it still works. But the charging port no longer recognizes anything (headphones, computer usb, charger nothing so I've purchased a charger and spare battery 2 keep me going. Long story short i now have work out a deal to exchange the phone with sprint but i cant re lock the phone it just keeps saying loading.... Ive already reloaded a signed sprint ROM via the SD card but trying the re locker is becoming a hassle try re locker don't work redo sprint ROM try re locker don't work redo sprint ROM etc. etc. please any info would be greatly appreciated Oh yeah my soft reset button doesn't work either

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

loading the signed rom is the exact same process as flashing the relocker.

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

you DON'T use the sspl when relocking just flash it like a rom

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

I was on Sprint but now I went to Cellular South. I want to unlock this phone and install a custom rom. I have not seen much talked about the cellular south touch pro. Can someone lead me in the right direction please.

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

is cellular south cdma or gsm?

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

being a noob I looked under network in the manual and it says cdma.

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

if your specs matched the same specs as the sprint/telus variant it SHOULD be the exact same steps except I don't know were you would get a carrier cab. But honestly I have never even heard of that carrier let alone know their specs.

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

I do not how to compare but under communications then network the manual has the following - CDMA2000 1xEVDO/1xRTT and IS-95A/B voice or data
Please help I do not want to stay stock. :(

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

there are other cellular south user here that use custom roms with no problem. Start off with something basic like a MightyRom, and see how it goes. Worst case scenario is it will not work, then all you have to do is flash back to the shipped rom, which you can download here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...th#post1030332

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

What about the specific carrier cab for Cellular South. I have read many posts and have not seen anything relating to CS. Sorry for so many ?'s but I need to know so I do not brick this thing.
Thanks for you help.

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

no need to apologize. i was in your shoes once. i know how worried you can be for your first time.
flashing these custom roms will not brick it and you will not need a carrier cab. you have a cdma touch pro. this is the cdma touch pro section, so any of the roms in this section will work on your phone.

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

Since when have you stopped needing a carrier cab? is cellular south connection information included in all the roms? I remember when we started and it was mostly telus roms I had to find the sprint carrier cab to get voice and data to work. (though that was in the diamond days before the TP was out)

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

just about every custom rom on here contains the generic carrier settings which allows data to work on all carriers, except for cricket and metropcs. those are the only 2 that require different settings from the rest. i think DCD's rom is the only one that requires the carrier cab, because his rom does not have the generic carrier settings, which is #777 username blank, password blank. Which you can just go to your connection settings and put in yourself, instead of installing the carrier cab.

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

gotcha.

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

I have tried to unlock my new Cellular south touch pro at least 5 times to no avail. Is Cellular south a different breed or what. Is there anyone that can help please.
I have unlocked a sprint touch pro before using this method but now i'm lost ](*,):dontknow:
Thanks for any help.

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

try to be as specific as possible with the steps you have done and the screens you see.

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

This is how I proceed to install the unlocker. The strange thing is am I running the right RUU. I extracted it to a new folder and only one icon is in the folder. When I click that icon to run and the pop up window begins instructing me I notice that in the folder another RUU is present with other icons. (ROMUpdateUtility)

I run the Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037 and follow the steps on my laptop. I have flashed several roms do I know this procedure well. I get the tricolor screen then do the check boxes and then press next several times. The grey downloading box never shows up just an error after about 30 - 45 seconds.
I then go to the recovery and it works every time. Then I sit frustrated for a few minutes wondering how a noob can unlock his new phone so he can play with it. LOL

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

so your doing the pc method of unlocking? try the sd card method in my guide.

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

OK now using the sd card I have tricolor with the following

RAPH800 MFG
SPL-0.25.C-SSPL
MICROP-RAPH (LED) v8C85
MicroP-Raph (KEY) v8685 (I think hard to see in green)
PSOC-Raph STAGE_EVT v20

Still tricolor after a few minutes now resetting, Reset successful.
Be gentle and understanding to this noob please.
Thanks

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

did you put the nbh from the unlocker.zip (extracted) on the sd card and the sspl on your phones main memory?

If so , backup your sd card, and format it with your computer to fat32 (even if it says it is)

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

just read my guide really carefully on unlocking on the first post. it will explain in detail I need to hit the hay, if you have aim pm me your screen name and sometime tomorrow night I can try to help walk ya through.

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

ok.. so i have been flashing from my SD for a couple weeks now.. done it multiple times.

now when i hold down power+vol down it just enters boot loader and stays there. i have reformatted my card via card reader and from nueStorage, I have tried different custom roms... my nbh is in the root of the storage card and named RAPHIMG.nbh

I don't get it.. i give up. gonna have to go back to the pc method i guess.

once again, after the soft reset with vol down+power being held down, it just enters boot loader screen and does nothing else, no gray screen flash, no error message.. nothing.

i think this started happening after i flashed one of the 6.1 roms or nrg roms. not sure.

thanks for your help and time for doing this though.

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

one thing to check in this case is some roms show extensions in file explorer while some don't try renaming that RAPHIMG.nbh to RAPHIMG or check using a card reader from a pc. its quite common that these files get named RAPHIMG.nbh.nbh

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

checked and that's not the problem...

i don't see why it could work perfectly for so many flashes then just stop working.. it is frustarating. i will try another microsd sometime

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

I did it yeeeaaaa. I had to learn how to format a memory card and purchase a reader.
Thanks for your help.:thumbleft:

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

congrats!!!

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

Is it staying at the multicolored screen or the grey loading bar screen? try wiping out the name of the file and re-typing it in. If you have done it before, the only other thing I can think of is for some reason sd card encryption got activated on your phone.

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

Thanks!!

Worked like a charm!

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

it is staying on the multicolor screen.. no gray screen flash or anything.

how do i check for card encryption? and how do i turn it off or stop it?

thanks again for everything man

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

Amazing, it worked like a charm!

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

the best way is to take your card out of your phone and use a card reader or most computers nowadays can take full size sd cards so if you have a micro sd to sd converter that might work if you look at the files that way copy that nbh file to your desktop. Then look at the extension. you may have to go into tools>folderoptions>and uncheck the box that says hide extensions for known types. if you see a .menc that means the card is encrypted. If it is dont flash untill you go into you either turn off encryption, or transfer your files off your sd card with active sync or WMDC NOT disk transfer mode. if you don't you will lose your files forever.
