Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update includes Sense 2.5
Verizon put out the MR2 upgrade for the Touch Pro2 today on the PCD site. I downloaded and flashed from stock MR1 to the MR2 and now it won't boot past the htc logo (now green letters on white back). It displays the version numbers in the bottom left in red, but then it just sits there. I've waited for over 30 min. So I started up in bootloader and ran the update again but no change.
Going to try going back to MR1. Anyone else try the MR2 update yet? Successful? |

what exactly is mr1 and mr2 |
Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
The are manufacturer ROM updates to the original ROM that was put on the device when first launched. It's Verizon's way to update versions of their programs, update the device OS or interface, update the radio firmware, etc. When you install the update it replaces the ROM currently on the device (including all data).
That's the basic gist of it. |
Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
mr stands for maintnence release. usually not a huge overhaul. sometimes a new version of sense. usually a few optimizations. they used to say a mr came right before a big update to ptrepare the device, but this isnt the case anymore. tp1 recieved a mr right before it was supposedly going to get a 6.5 update that never came!

Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
So I can flash back to MR1 and it boots up fine. But I try going to MR2 and it just hangs at the logo screen. Maybe a stupid question, but is it maybe not working because it's an unlocked phone? Or is it maybe a bad update? Can't find anyone else who's tried the update, doesn't seem to be much interest in it. I guess with all the custom stuff out there the stocks ones aren't very interesting. :)

Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
im sure theres not much interest in in. also, this site has a lot of sprint users, instead of verizon. is there a site like sprintusers.com for verizon?

Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
When I tried the MR2 on my unlocked TP2, my phone also got stuck on the HTC boot screen.
I flashed back to MR1, relocked the phone, and ran the MR2 update again. Now it works. Therefore, I would suggest relocking your phone before running the MR2 update. |

Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
Kind of what I thought. Was hoping to not have to do that. Do I need to pay to unlock it again if I do re-lock? I guess if I decide to stay stock it doesn't matter. But I do like to play with the custom ROMs from time to time when I find one that looks cool.

Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
if you relock the phone and flash you can probably unlock it again after flashing as stated above.

Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
anyone care to publish the sense version numbers from MR2?
I just got in a new Refurb and am thinking I should flash the MR2 before I fully load my apps/contacts/appointments/etc.... But curious as to what the update really is updating. Edit: According to PCDPHones site, the update is updating software (VZ Navigator, Contact Card and Time Stamp). |
Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
I also cannot boot the mr2 update. However, I dumped the rom, and rebuilt it using the boot.rgu from the MR1 update, and also removing the OEM_FLASHDRV_1.DLL module from the XIP. After flashing it did boot correctly.
I'm going to now try a straight dump and rebuild to see if it is just something in their updater thats causing the issue. |
Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
I have been using MR for a few months and its been a little buggy but I really want the 2.5 twitter tab. If this is 2.5 I'll give it a whirl. would rather not have to relock tho.
|
Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
I had the exact same experience. Reflashing to MR1, relocking, flashing MR2 cured it.

Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
for those that had to relock just to flash the update, did you notice any signifigant changes / improvements?

Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
One thing I noticed is that my customized taskbar I was using on the MR1 update doesn't work on this MR2.
Some of the icons change, and some stay stock. :( |

Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
Definitely relock the phone first. I had flashed back to the stock rom a while back, and forgot the fact that the phone was unlocked to begin with. I got stuck on the htc flash screen. Hard reset does not work - unable to get into bootloader. I tried flashing through SD card, but I guess that doesn't work without getting into the bootloader either. I took it to the verizon store - the tech spent about 5 minutes trying to get into the bootloader, and decided to mail me a refurbished phone instead.
I thought I would fool around with it to try to bring it back to life anyway. Any ideas? |

Delete OEM_FLASHDRV_1.DLL from OEMXipKernel Replace boot.rgu file in OEMXipKernal with the one from the MR1 update. Recmod NTconifg.dll from the Notification_Enhancement_3_5_20113824_00 EXT package. Rebuild ROM. I still flash the MR2 rom first, so I would get the new HTC screen and the new radio. I cant post the rom, because I've already customized the hell out of it. |

Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
the task manager is not there, kinda sucks for that.
|
Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
So just to be sure you HAVE to relock to flash this ROM?
That sucks if you do. considering you can only unlock from a pc 1 time |

+1. I really liked the task manager tab for checking running programs and memory on the fly. Too bad... |
Re: Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update
Does any one know if there is away to run mm tethering on this?
