Thank You MordyT. Thanks button hit.

I just ran taks29 on my Sprint TP2, went into bootloader, and then flashed a ROM.

When I tried to make a call I got a message I never heard before:
"Welcome to Verizon. You're phone cannot be authenitcated at this time."


Do I have to "flash a radio" or do something to the radio settings now?
If so, can someone please post instrunctions to what I have to do?
Or a link?

Thank you.

I did. I got a recording "the feature code you entered is invalid".
I'm using a Sprint TP2 on SPrint's network.

Thanks again.

Ok, just to be clear ( i know, dp, shoot me)
All that happened is that task 29 got hacked into a RUU - therefor no more need for mtty and its drivers. The ruu still needs to do something - flash a splash or radio - but tit is the RUU that is important...

I am having difficulty. I can not get the phone into bootloader. With the phone off I hold the down volume button and press the top power button as shown on the YouTube video and nothing happens. If I hold the down volume and press the End/Power button it comes on to a screen that says "Touch Pro 2" and nothing more.

I called Verizon and they had me hold down volume + Send and press Power/End and same result "Touch Pro 2"

Any thoughts on getting back into bootloader?

Thanks, but as I said I tried that... all I can get is the Black screen that says "Touch Pro 2" in white.

Again:
Volume Down + Top "Power Button" = Nothing
Volume Down + End/Power Button = "Touch Pro 2"
Volume Down + Send + End Buttons = "Touch Pro 2"

Power Button only = "Touch Pro 2"

When plugged into AC Mains or USB
Any Buttons including Power = Nothing

Your no holding them long enough - not together..

try like this. Unplug phone from wall. take battery out. phone is now completely powered down. place battery in. phone is still powered down. press and hold volume down. then, whole still holding volume down, press and hold end key.
