Re: How To unlock and flash with Video Walk Through!
 
There is only one question I had before I go ahead and attempt the unlock and flash. Should we hard-reset the phone before carrying out the unlock and flash? I've had my sprint tp for almost 6 months and there have been plenty of tweaks I have performed (thnx to ppc forums) so I was curious if that would effect the process.

Thanks for the reply! Just attempted my first ever flash with Mighty Rom 6 worked great and I am enjoying the rom. This was a great guide. One last final question if in the future a new flash is attempted (with a different rom) do we have to unlock again? Thanks again for the help and great guide.

you're welcome
you don't have to unlock again. it stays unlocked when flashing custom roms and radios

When I decide to flash another ROM, where do I find the "custom RUU" thats discussed in the video to upload the new ROM? The video mentions opening the mobile device center but it doesn't say where to find that utility....I was considering switching from MightyRom 4.16 to the Silence/Mighty ROM

Some of the MightyRoms come packaged as an exe file, so you just have to open the exe file and the flashing process will begin. But when you do download a rom and it's just the nbh file, then you'll need the RUU folder here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43266

You need to use WinRAR to extract/unzip a rar file. http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

MightyRom 4.6 is for the Diamond. Are you sure you have that one on your touch pro?

Noob here....first post. I just had to switch out my Alltel version for a Verizon version and the Touch Flo of the new phone is horrible. I have downloaded a custom ROM, placed it on my phone, opened the .cab file, and installed it. Phone restarts and my theme is changed. Is this the correct way to do it? I didn't install the comex unlocker and use it like the video showed. Please excuse my ignorance.

TIA

I'm trying to flash Mighty ROM 4 for TP. I've downloaded the rom and extracted the files. My question is, how do I get the bootloader to start? I don't see a Nbh file to put in my RUU folder and I found a bootlauncher exe file to start the bootloader by itself, but it gives me an error when I select it. I have XP so I'm using activesync. Thanks

MightyRom 4 comes with it's own ruu, so you don't need to move any files. Just establish activesync with computer and run the custum_ruu.exe and the flashing process will begin.

custom roms do not come as a cab file. themes usually come as cab files, so that's probably all you changed.

you have to use the cmonex unlocker to unlock your phone before you flash a custom rom on your phone, or else it just wont work.

I don't know where the custom ruu.exe is? Is it in one of the files from the download? I downloaded the mighty4 rar file to my desktop, right clicked on it and it says open with (winzip or winrar) I opened with winrar. Never mind. I just figured it out. I downloaded the OEM version. I don't know what that is but I couldn't do anything with it. Thanks as always razorloves, you're a huge help.

my bad...i gave you the wrong file name. it's the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file. He used to use custom_ruu.exe, but not anymore.

I just went to the mightyrom 4 thread and his rom comes as an exe. So, all you have to do is connect phone to computer and establish activesync, then open the exe file and the flashing process will begin.

glad i could be of help man.
anytime

invalid model id most likely means that you attempted to flash the touch pro mightyrom, instead of the diamond mightyrom. so, go to the diamond section of this forum and download the right one.

What does flashing the phone mean and whats the purpose of such method?

Re: How To unlock and flash with Video Walk Through!
 
My touch pro is now stuck on the "please wait, phone starting up" screen.

I first did the Hard SPL, and it appeared to be successful (it reads with the right 0.35.CMONEX in the bootlogger)

Then I Did the "electonicrice" kitchen pack 1.1
I used Build pack 23016.

I was able to go through all the steps (selecting options in kitchen, pressing play to build the rom, the phone went into bootlogger mode and it had a status bar that showed it was loading the new rom image on the phone. Afterwards, the utility said it was successful and the phone rebooted itself; and that's where I am stuck.

If I soft reset the phone, it hangs on the verizon splash screen.

I've tried to hard reset, but it doesn't seem to be willing to do it. I can get the phone back into bootlogger mode, and can reinstall a rom from the kitchen, but that gets me right back to being stuck at the splash screen...

On the splash screen it says the following:

uP06 P DCBBPZM-615010
B 02 R 1.03. 03V
ps20 D 1.03


So, if anyone can help me out, I'd love it. I have a brand new Verizon Touch Pro that I'm trying to get started with a nice ROM from the get go, and things are off to a rocky start.

Thanks in advance, Let me know if there's anything I can do to help get this figured out. (and I'll try to keep up... I know just enough to be dangerous)

-Trayson

p.s. I'll be happy to donate a little if we can get my phone up and running. :)

i'm on vacation right now, so i don't have much time, but for the sake of fixing your phone so that it works, flash this updated verizon rom. I'm guessing you're verizon since you used the .35 unlocker. http://pcdphones.com/phone_downloads...zon%20Wireless

Re: How To unlock and flash with Video Walk Through!
 
Help!!! I own 2 Sprint Touch Pro phones and I can not get one to work.

I have flashed my phone 4-5 times with different versions, and have had no issues. I flashed my wifes phone with version MightyROM6_06_Herman.exe with no issues. Today I wanted to update her the same version that I have on my phone (MightyROM6_07.18.09_Herman.exe) and it failed about 20% done.

After a couple of retries, I tried to load 4 different versions (orginial Sprint, Mighty Rom 5, and the 2 versions of Mighty ROM 6 mentioned above) and they all fail at different percent done !!!.

Any ideas on how to recover? RIght now I have "Upgrade ROM code error" on the tricolored screen on the phone.

Never mind, I got it. I am working from home and was running a VPN program, and it seemed to interupt the communication link to the phone. I rebooted my PC and all is well.

Ok, I am running into some problems with my Touch Pro, when I try to run the hardspl .25 or .37 or .35 the phone goes through the whole step, but it sits on 0% and I get an error on the PC. The phone stays at 0% and sits there until I reboot it.

Any ideas?

Great guide, as soon as my altell TP arrives I'll flash it with mighty rom. After I unlock and then flash, what are the followup things I need to do, do I need to reinstall the sms and mms like I read in another thread? What about those carrier specific cabs to get data working, will I need to install that? Also will I need to call that number to reactivate my phone?

all you will need to do is install the mms arcsoft cab in post#5 in the mightyrom thread. that's it.

Hello, as you can see, I'm a brand new member, I joined specifically for this thread. I have an HTC Touch PRO from Sprint, it's running Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and has the stock version of TouchFLO 3D. I have been searching for weeks on the Internet trying to find a way to upgrade my phone. I've been seeing on the web that HTC is really cranking out new phones and new versions of its TouchFLO 3D interface. Looking at the screen shots and videos, I'd really like to upgrade the version on my Touch PRO. Also, I see that windows has come out with mobile 6.5. Basically, these upgrades and new versions came out like three weeks after I bought my phone and I'm going through a not having the newest, coolest withdrawal phase. I don't know all that much about the inner workings of these phones but from poking around on the web it would appear that I need to "flash" a new "ROM" for my phone. I watched the first of your videos and I'm just trying to make sure I know what I'm getting into. It all comes down to these basic questions, if you could help me in answering them that would be great, if not, it's not the end of the world.

1.) Is flashing a new ROM going to get me windows mobile 6.5?
2.) Is flashing a new ROM going to get me TouchFLO 3D 2.0 or 2.5?
3.) Is it true that a flashed ROM also includes all kinds of programs and apps that the developers cooked into it?
4.) If I do this, what is a good way of backing up all the data on my phone, I tried using DashWire from the very beginning but last week I had to do a hard reset and now DashWire won't put anything except my contacts back onto my phone, not my photos, videos, call history or texts. Any good alternatives?

Again, thank you for your time, I know it's a lot of questions and I know everyone on this forum seems pretty well versed in the manipulation of these devices, any time spent on the "New Guy" would be greatly appreciated.

1. you have a choice. some roms come with 6.1 and some with 6.5.
2. again, you have a choice. some have tf3d1, some tf3d2, some tf3d2.1...
3. yes
4. dashwire is known to work fine so i'm not sure what happen with your use. there is also Microsoft MyPhone or PIM Backup. I recommend MyPhone

see here for your choice of roms. reading the first post or even the thread title will let you know the windows mobile version and also the version of tf3d, if it's included, and they usually say what programs are included.

Re: How To unlock and flash with Video Walk Through!
 
I too am a noob at this. I've had my Sprint TP for about 10 months, still running the stock ROM. I've tweaked it a lot and love the combo of programs it's loaded with.

Now I feel the urge to upgrade the ROM.

I feel pretty comfy with the unlocking part of the process.
The re-flashing I'm still a little leary of.

My question:
I have MightyRom6.5 file on my desktop.
After I have unlocked (and verified) the phone, do I...

Just double click the MightyROM file on the desktop (with the phone connected via ActiveSync) and follow the instructions that will appear there after?

I appreciate all the time pjTwist and razor have devoted to this very helpful thread.

Thanks,
Skid

that's it. you got it.

Re: How To unlock and flash with Video Walk Through!
 
razor,
Thanks so much!
It's a relief. The only part I'm not looking forward to is re-installing all the programs, setting up email, program settings, etc.
But hey, it's time for an overhaul I suppose.

Again, big props and thanks to both you and pj!
