[Guide] USCC TP2 to EnergyROM
This Guide will help you unlock, flash, setup MMS and tweak your USCC branded Touch Pro 2 to the custom EnergyRom.
Seeing how there is not a lot of support for us USCC peeps. I have decided to put together this thread to help out my fellow USCC. ***Warning*** I take no responsibility for you using and/or following this guide, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF you brick you phone it's your fault. READ READ READ and if you think you are ready READ some more!! Post 1: Guide to HardSPL and Flash Post 2: SMS/MMS, GPS and Data Post 3: Radio Info Post 4: Tweaks/Fixes Post 5: Saved (TBA) Quick Info USCC Touch Pro 2 Name: Rhodium CDMA Worldphone WVGA Device Save all of the files you download, you will need to go back to them from time to time. I would recommend creating a Rhodium Folder on your PC save all files there. Step 1. HARDSPL your phone. To learn how to HardSPL your phone and download the HardSPL visit RhodiumW CDMA Worldphone HardSPL Unlocker Release READ READ READ READ.. THEN READ SOME MORE The files you will need for your USCC phone are: The HardSPL itself RhodiumW-HardSPL_V1_10R3_100HSPL.zip and the relocker RhodiumW_SPLRelocker_063.zip Follow the instructions and HARDSPL your phone. *NOTE* when you HARDSPL your phone it ONLY gives you the ability to flash to a custom ROM, because the Touch Pro 2 is a CDMA Worldphone, if you want to flash to a different radio you will need to security unlock your phone. Please see Post 3 for more info on that. Step 2. Download a USCC Stock Rom Download here: Rhodium_W_WM65_US_Cellular_WWE_2.01.573.3.exe Step 3. Download EnergyRom In my opinion EnergyRom is the S**t I have tried others but always come back to NRG. There are two EnergyRom threads for the Touch Pro 2, one for Sense 2.1 and one for Sense 2.5 Sense 2.1 Thread - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86491 Sense 2.5 Thread - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86489 Post 1 will have the link to the roms, download and extract the version of the rom you want. Step 4. Flash via SD Card. Make sure you have already HARDSPL'd your phone, if not you will brick your phone. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh from the extracted zip file your downloaded in step 3 to the ROOT of your SD Card. For detailed instructions on how to flash a rom please visit cornelious2's HOW TO: flash a Rom or Radio on your TP2 from the SD card *Tip* To enter bootloader mode (red/green/blue screen), Power off your TP2 (not just sleep) press and hold the volume bottom and power button till the bootloader mode starts. Step 5. Hard Reset after a flash Whenever you flash to a new rom or updated rom, let the setup run, you will want to perform a hard reset. To do this go to Start > Settings > System > Wipe Device Now many perform the "flash dance" where as: before flashing to an updated rom, they flash back to the stock rom, then flash to the new rom, and perform a hard rest. I have tired this and found it is not need, but this is me. I always do 2 hard reset after a flash. Step 6. Get Data, SMS/MMS working Please see Post 2 for information. Step 7. Fixes Please see Post 4 for Keyboard and other fixes. Step 8. Customize Check out Post 4 for tweaks. You should be good to go now. Learn how to use Sashimi to push all of your settings every time you flash check out my [Guide] Murducky's Guide to Auto User Customization Step 9. I need to flash back to stock and re lock for warranty. Well in step 2, you download the stock rom. Flash to it. Then follow this guide to re-lock your phone. Great Guide from cornelious on the re-locking process, http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=61333 , the below taken from him. Read their full post RELOCKING Relocking is actually MUCH easier than unlocking. There is really just two steps. step 1.) Flash a stock SHIPPED rom (not dumped while a dumped rom is just the stock rom, the certificates are signed wrong and once you flash the locker it will give an invalid rom error. step 2.) entering bootloader by using the sspl exe linked above, flash the relocker this again is a flash exactly like a normal rom flash except for your mode of entering bootloader. after these two steps are done, you are relocked. A few people have mentioned hitting the unbootable cycle when relocking just like when unlocking. if this happens, just flash the stock shipped rom again. Use the relocker RhodiumW_SPLRelocker_063.zip *Note* The USCC stock ROM version, includes a boot-loader (splash screen) and OS (ROM) but it does not flash your HARDSPL, you will need to re lock using the info above.

Re: [Guide] USCC TP2 to EnergyROM
Post 2: SMS/MMS, GPS and Data
Data & Phone codes Out of the box EnergyRom should be configured for our data, You do not need to install a USC Carrier Cab. Update Roaming list I do dial *228 and press talk and perform a roaming list update Phone Codes Phone Codes at the time of this guide I have not tested phone codes. SMS & MMS Out of the box SMS works but MMS does not. MMS For Titanium, Manila 2.1 or Sense 2.1 Install apristel_Arcsoft MMS_USCellular_5_0_94_128c.cab (attached), soft reset. *Note* If you get an error that the above cab will not install, then you will need to install "Remove PictureMail & Arcsoft.cab" (attached) first then soft reset. Then install the cab above. You now have MMS Here is the Server info for those of you who want it: You can add a server via SMS / MMS > Options > MMS Options > Servers Tab > New Enter the below info Server name: usc Gateway: left blank Port number: 80 Server address: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS Connect via: Network Send Limit: 500k (if you have a WAP setting set to NONE) MMS for Sense 2.5 (new build of 2.5 2011 have arcsoft built in) Navigate to the Messaging Tab > All Messages > Menu > Settings > Options > Menu > MMS Server > + New Enter the following settings Server name: USC Gateway: (Leave blank) Port number: 80 Server address: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=your 10 digit number here (example: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=5415551234) *the server is CASE SENSITIVE enter in as shown* Connect Via:My ISP (or USC Or whatever your data connection is) Send Limit: 1024 KB WAP: None Then click Done. Set USC as Default. Soft Reset. You will be able to send MMS using the HTC Messaging but to view MMS you will have to go to WM Messaging via Start > Internet > Messaging > SMS/MMS MMS for EnergyROM Sense 2.5 Feb 1 Build Work Around First off USC MMS just wont work with sense 2.5 (at least not that I can get it to work AND i have tried everything). But there are some work arounds that i have found that i now can get both Pic & Vid MMS. First, set up your MMS Server in the HTC Messaging like this. Navigate to the Messaging Tab > All Messages > Menu > Settings > Options > Menu > MMS Server > + New Enter the following settings Server name: USC Gateway: (Leave blank) Port number: 80 Server address: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=your 10 digit number here (example: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=5415551234) *the server is CASE SENSITIVE enter in as shown* Connect Via:My ISP (or USC Or whatever your data connection is) Send Limit: 1024 KB WAP: None Then click Done. Set USC as Default. Next NRGZ has enabled Windows Mobile SMS/MMS as well. To access WM SMS/MMS go to Start > Internet > Messaging > SMS/MMS OR if you have an email setup, click Email Tab > inbox then slide over to SMS/MMS Second, Now Setup the WM Messaging MMS Server via Start > Internet > Messaging > SMS/MMS > Options > MMS Options > CDMA Servers Tab > New Enter the below info Server name: usc Gateway: left blank Port number: 80 Server address: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=your 10 digit number here (example: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=5415551234) *the server is CASE SENSITIVE enter in as shown* Connect via: My ISP Send Limit: 300k Set USC as Default. Third... Now how this works. You can send PIC and MMS via HTC Messaging but you cannot view pic or vid MMS via HTC Messaging (you will get a text in HTC messaging but it will be blank and have no attachment). You have to go to the WM SMS/MMS Start > Internet > Messaging > SMS/MMS) to view your pics and MMS just like you did on Sense 2.1 GPS Settings Your location setting must be turn ON for GPS to work. For time to time some builds of EnergyROM this setting is set to OFF. To turn on Location go to: Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > Services > Location Setting > Get Settings > Turn ON Soft Reset You will now have GPS. QuickGPS - Is a program that can speed up the time for determining your GPS position by downloading the latest satellite data via data or internet connection. EnergyROM has QuickGPS. You can run the program via Start > GPS > QuickGPS > Download Last edited by murducky; 02-09-2010 at 11:38 AM. |

Just so that you know dude, That is not exactly 100% correct. You most certainly can use the SIM Card. I have T-Mobile SIM card, that can be used on T-Mobile service with a USCC TP2. You have to use the SIM Security Unlocker first. This will allow you to flash the WU Radio Instead of the WV radio that is presently installed. After you install the WU Radio, your phone will be unlocked to use on any US GSM Carrier. You can use the SIM Card without unlocking SIM when you are in another country as is. This is a global phone that can be used ANYWHERE! (Except perhaps on the space station)

Re: [Guide] USCC TP2 to EnergyROM
A big thanks to Murducky. I have been searching for days to add MMS to my TP2 until I stumbled on to your thread. I have the following set up:
Telus TP2 (T7379) worldphone unlocked GSM Carrier: AT&T (I do not use the CDMA in the U.S.) ROM: 1.19.661.3 (Stock) Radio: 1.92.00WV WM 6.1 (no MMS !!) CE OS 5.2.21052(Build 21052.1.6.5) I bought this unlocked in EBay from Canada. AT&T changed the keyboard layout which is really cumbersome! So I went with the Telus TP2 Worldphone. My old phone was the TyTn II. I loaded your apristel Arcsoft MMS USCellular 5.0.94.128c.cab. Then I used the settings used by AT&T instead of USCC: Server Name: AT&T MMS Gateway: wireless.cingular.com Port Number: 80 Server Address: (http) mmsc.cingular.com Connect via MEdia Net Sending Size limitation: 300k (set by AT&T)==> I did not touch this setting. WAP Version: WAP 2.0 The MEdia Net Settings are: Connection Name MEdia Net Select A Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) Access Point Name: wap.cingular User Name: (leave this blank) Password: (leave this blank) Domain: (leave this blank) When sending MMS I selected the Pic/Video options. I had to play with the resolution of the photos due to AT&T's limitations. I was able to send VGA (640x480). I will try the higher resolutions later but I do not think it will send much higher resolutions than this. I was able to tweak the camera on this to take about 5 megapixels! (thanks PPCGeeks!). Used CeRegEditor, Total Commander, and Advanced Configurator v3.3 for some of my other tweaks. Great tools! I confirmed I was able to send AND receive MMS! Now I have the option to send via MMS or via E-mail. I love having options! I am fairly new at this tweaking stuff. But I really loved the challenge and I am glad I stumbled on to your thread! Thank you again. I hope my information above helps out some poor lost soul out there. Oh, BTW, did I tell you I really love this computer? The TP2 is a computer with phone features!=D> Hats off to HTC and to you guys! |
