so there is no way to unbrick it if installed the incorrect hard spl? I too did a d bag move and actually downloaded both rhodium and the one used by op... and now my tp2 for vzw is bricked...idk how i would go about getting a new phone because i traded my storm 2 for it and idk if can pull an insurance scheme... i dont wanna give up... i really enjoyed the phone for a couple days.. im so pissed at my dumb move.. i unlocked iphones and such without a problem...

I'm curious to know, did the OP ever get his phone fixed?

just got off the phone with tech support from vzw and the guy was so helpful. I said i unplugged during a sync and he sent out a like new replacement via fed ex and waived the 50$ fee! So i will be out a phone for a couple days.. o well. crisis averted. Now this time I will flash correctly...

As far as the device connecting to your PC, it won't need active sync to re-flash. If it installed that driver, try flashing the stock rom to it.

If the incorrect phone unlocker is used, CDMA vs GSM doesnt matter, as it wont brick the device, all you need to do is run the correct band (CDMA in this case) and it will work.

you have to unlock it the first time. should remain unlocked after, unless you run a stock rom, as some can relock.

The whole process needs to be followed exactly and unfortunately you learned that the hard way. Goodluck fixing it.

no offense guys, but he is obviously new to the site, and with the way the forum is layed out, the TP and the TP2 threads are right next to eachother. Simple mistake that a new comer could make. Yes the OP should have read more carefully, but it is easy to understand how he might have misread.

This community is for helping, not insulting new comers, tends to push people away. Lets be supportive and give good advice.

Once the PC loads the driver and you connect the phone, the phone will appear to be dead, but is connected in a special diagnostic mode, even though you may not see any outward signs of life from the phone.

Run the correct unlocker (http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/hard-spl.php) and go from there. Good luck, and read the description of everything you download for your phone carefully - Remember that there are a few different (and incompatible) versions of software for phones that look very similar and are named very similarly.

If this helped, don't forget to hit the 'Thanks' button!

AMEN
