Hard-SPL - MightROM - FRUSTRATED!

[SirCharlsO]

I am very frustrated right now...

Please, no responses chiding me for not searching. I *HAVE* searched and when I search HardSPL, and I get to a thread with 120+ pages, it does not make it conducive to finding the answer one seeks.

I will admit I am COMPLETELY new to trying out a ROM that didn't come with the phone or through HTC.

I have tried turning off my firewall, turning off my Avast, I have added the exception to DEP. I hard reset my phone, I have restarted my computer, I have searched through many many pages of posts on HARD spl, Rhodium, Task 29, and flashing ROMs. I have made a donation. I am completely confused and would like some help.

I have noted some step-by-step instructions and I have tried those many different times. No success getting passed this:

"Server appears to be down, try again in 5 minutes; or try turning your firewall OFF temporarily"

I have tried automatic and manual. I have tried, like I said, making a donation (last night). I tried it quite a bit last night, and again today.

In various ways, I have gotten the following errors:

246
262
(and maybe 260, I forget)

:cuss ing:

I am not a newbie, and have messed with phones in the past. I have usually gotten myself in, and out, of trouble...using this fine forum and others like it. I will confess that I have no idea what a radio is, but I know what a ROM is, and I felt pretty confident I could get this done. My plan was to use HARD-SPL (the one specifically designed for Touch Pro 2 - in post #9 of the HARD-spl thread posting by Zyggy (I think)), the Task 29, then Flash Rhodium SE. I am on Sprint, have 6.5, sense ui2.5.

I would humbly ask that someone with some knowledge please post a step-by-step instruction for getting to Rhodium AND how to get back to the Stock Sprint ROM, just in case. If someone would be so kind as to include the files I would need, I would appreciate it.

Like I said, I have searched, and I have tried. If no one wants to respond because they think I am being an ass (which at this point, I will admit I feel like) or because they think I should just try following the directions in some other post, I understand.

Frustrated, at (small amount of) wits end...

It sounds like your not in the right HSPL thread...

This is the thread for the CDMA TP2. The link to the unlocker is in Post #1 by cmonex

That is another thing. Run as admin. I tried that, but I do not have an admin password. However, my account DOES have admin rights, so why should it matter?

I have reviewed that thread, but admittedly, did NOT use that Hard-SPL. I will try that one next...after relaxing a bit and doing some grilling...

Thanks for the quick responses, and sorry for the tone,

next thread,"why is my ppc a paperweight?"

Wirelessly posted (HTC Touch Pro2 (Sprint): Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 8.12; MSIEMobile6.0) Sprint T7380)

So far I've been a bit frustrated as well with Hard-SPL unlocker. I've sent a request for an additional use for a replacement phone and still haven't heard back. When I tried to purchase a license for unlimited use, PayPal rejected the transaction saying the website was flagged as suspicious and possibly fradulent.

I submitted the request a month or 2 ago with no response, so I'm stuck using Sprint Stock ROM.

Yeah you def want to use the one from the thread posted. That's the CDMA TP2 unlocker, and I dont think there's any other ones that will work. Post back if you have anytrouble.

Charlie,
I too have myself as admin but for what ever reason could not get HardSPL to run unless I did the "shift-Rclick-run as admin".

Been doing system support for years but I gave up on trying to figure out why on this one...

[SirCharlsO]

Spambusterdave,

I do not have admin password set. When I did the run as, and chose "administrator" it said that was invalid because password can't be blank...


any ideas?
