Condescending text towards the original poster. See people, I can be a jackass too. Let's just bash the original poster with messages about how much of a dumbass he/she was and boost my post count! Look at me!

Seriously everybody, I'm sure the original poster doesn't feel good right now. I'd imagine they got the point after the first message.

With that said, try to exercise the warranty and see if you can get a replacement.

If it is a Touch Pro2 on a CDMA network (ie. Sprint of Verizon), follow the link below, and read everything before taking action:

Yes that's part of it. The rest is a *HUGE* overload of information. When I wanted to flash for the first time I had to wade through 1,000 posts all going on and on using words and terms I didn't understand at all. I had to guessimate and condense it down to the relevant info. My first flashing was a pants-pooping adventure and by pure dumb luck I got it right.

I say the following with respect; really. You guys are phone gods but most of you forgot what it's like being a noobie. You use college-level terms and 1,000 line instructions while talking to pre-schoolers. Most of you do. A few of you do not but those threads and posts are buried deeply in the pile and NOOBIES DON'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR!
Most of it is like "Install the framistat while snorkling your woho and flika the isoprop ROM. If it doesn't work edit the kitchen scripts"*.

Whaaaaa????? No wonder some people flash the wrong ROM. "I don't know if my phone is a flika or a isoprop; all I know that is it's a Sprint Touch Pro. I'm all cornfused! I'll use this ROM here"......and end up with a brick.

Nobody has written a primer for us noobies.
"What You Should Know Before Even Starting To Think About Flashing Your ROM: Basic Phone Knowledge 101 For Dumb Stupids Like You".

I know somebody will jump on me about "flashing without first doing homework" or something like that. True! True! I agree but..uh...where is the homework? When I got my phone I didn't even know where to begin to look. All I knew was that it was a Sprint Touch Pro". That's all. The only "homework" I could find was long long threads talking about rodiums and kitchens and GSMs and holding down seven buttons on the phone while waving the stylus and yelling "Avada Kedavra Flashus Tobrickus"*; almost nothing with basic terms. Not much with clues as to what I needed to know. No obvious Pre-school stuff.

Here's a thought. Somebody with all the knowledge write a pre-flashing primer something like this:
--------------------
BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK OF FLASHING KNOW THE FOLLOWING!

1) How to use activesynch. See posts# xxx and xxxx and xxx.
2) How To backup all phone data. Posts#xxx and xxxxx
3) Know the keywords for what phone you have

The Sprint Touch Pro 1 ROMS will have the following keywords: CDMA, Raphiel, Raph800, Hermann......blah blah blah.
They will NOT have GSM, Rodium,.. blah blah blah.

Your ROMS will be in the following forums and ONLY the following forums. Make SURE you are in one of these forums and then check again..... .. ..

The unlocker for Sprint is HERE.
The unlocker for Verizon is HERE.
The unlocker for AT&T is HERE

The Following are proven *Sprint* Touch Pro CDMA ROMS: NOT FOR THE VERIZON!

The following are proven "Verizon* Touch Pro GSM ROMs: NOT FOR THE SPRINT!
-----------------------------------------------------

Somebody put all that in one obvious can't miss post, PLEASE!

[Gets off his soapbox and bows to the Phone gods]
[Gets ready for the rock throwing]


* Joking of course but that's pretty much what they say to a Noobie.

Ok guys i have the same problem with my htc touch pro 2, lucky for the other guy he got warranty, i don't. Does anyone here knows how to fix this problem or we are here to point fingers to the noobies? Can somebody help please?

yep.... the way we are telling you. If you aren't able to get it into bootloader then there isn't much to do. it will likely recognize that a usb device is connected. Does the power light light up if you plug it in?? aside from that there aren't too many other options.... pull your sim and sd card out and try again.....


you could try and download the correct rhodium unlocker and try it in manual mode. that might fix what has happened.... though you kinda already took the one way street

well id rather point a finger at a newbie, if ya dont mind lol jk....

but if you did what the other guy did(ie flash the raph unlocker to a rhod device) you can see he got nowhere quick and had to get a replacement... if you dont have insurance to get a replacement your just screwed... thats about it...
