concludes beta test

[ksteal]

I have a sprint touch pro 2 and it is stuck on the beta test page. I have tried hard resetting and the vol down, power and reset button and nothing will allow me to reflash. I tried reflashing with the sd card but it keeps flashing the same expired rom instead of the new one that i put on the root dir of the sd card. any ideas?

Yes, flash a ROM where the person who made it actually patched the timebomb in the 6.5.x SYS. Short of editing the nbh and patching shell32.exe yourself, you're stuck.

i was using an energy rom from a few months back. is the latest one patched? I use to always flash with the sd card by just putting it on the root drive, will the phone still flash the new energy rom drive this way? thanks for the help.

Yes, you can flash a new ROM any way you like. I don't know if NRG's SYS have the timebomb removed now, but I would think he would given his knowledge with making so many ROMs. I'm not even sure what new SYS have timebombs built into them. They may not be considered beta anymore since some devices in China are shipping with 6.5.x.

I have tried flashing with energy's new rom, but the expired notification still comes up. I think the phone is just hard resetting with the old expired rom instead of seeing the new rom in the sd card and using that one. I am also unable to connect to active sync so i can't flash using the computer either. Any ideas?

Turn phone off, press+hold volume down, and press+hold the power button. Once you have the tri-color bootloader screen, connect a USB cable. Flash a new ROM using the RUU utility and you'll be fine.

I get an error 260 saying the update utility cannot connect to my phone when i tried the steps above. i believe the phone is suppose to say usb, but it says serial on the screen

It will say Serial toward the bottom until you connect your device to your pc with a usb cable. Then it will change and say USB. Then run the RUU.
