[HOW-TO] - - Flash a Rom or Radio and re-locking on your TP2 from the SD card

[Mayonesa]

can you flash Stock roms like this too? like the sprint


would i just change the RUU or do i have to add the SPL signed.nbh? i would imagine if i flash just the RUU it would work but without the benefits of flashing the stock rom to clear things..


???

you do the same thing you do with custom roms. extract the exe with Winrar or similar program, then rename the nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh and put it on your mem card.

would it have the benefit tho? since the stock rom is a signed rom... as to wipe the data... not sure if im explaining it right.

not sure what you mean. flashing a rom wipes your phone, regardless if it's signed or not and regardless if you flash from microsd card or computer.

i know that but you know how it is said to flash back to stock then flash custom...


i had a problem not too long ago where the splash screen for a rom stayed after i flashed a diff rom... i flash the stock and it cleared it.


i forgot how it was explained when i saw it. i think on a MM thread...


even after you flash a custom rom you get some data left behind but apparently flashing a signed rom clears the internal memory...


like i said, i may not understand this or know to explain what i saw...

Mike suggested flashing stock then his rom after one of his roms

oh...i follow you now. an official rom exe for the tp2 includes a few more things than a custom rom exe. OS rom, radio rom, boot splash, prl and pri is everything in a official rom exe. But if you take the nbh out of it and flash via microsd, you will not get the pri, and i think that's the only thing you wont get. For the sake of flashing back to stock rom prior to flashing a custom rom, as is suggested alot around here, i think doing it via microsd will serve the purpose.

After the flash procedure is finished it sits at the grey screen letting you know it was successful.

Is there anyway to reboot the phone now easily? A certain button sequence perhaps? I am a fairly rugged mobile user so I use a hard snap on cases to protect the phone. It is a PITA to get that cover off and then back cover and then find something to press the reset button (stylus long gone lol..) to get it to reboot. IMHO HTC made a step in the wrong direction moving the reset button behind the battery cover!

Cheers.

unfortunatly the only options are a battery pull and the soft reset button that I know of (both mean taking the case off) the only real alternative to taking the cover off is attempting that mod were people drill a small hole were the rest is, but there are all kinds of things that could go wrong doing that...

so my usb port is defective and im running mighty rom and rather than file an insurance claim and get stuck with the $100 deductable i would like to try and take my phone back to the sprint store. im going to try and re-flash it back to the stock sprint rom via my SD card however my real question is will i be able to relock the device via the SD card?

[cornelious2]

while you could re-flash back to stock, unfortunatly with the new design of the unlocker and relocker not having an SSPL equivilent runnable from the phone unlocking and relocking is not possible from the sd card.
