if trying to flash from PC, and there is a RHODIMG.nbh on the SD card root...
 

if trying to flash from PC, and there is a RHODIMG.nbh on the SD card root... (this came up in another thread so I thought I'd give it one of its own...)

a caveat:
if trying to flash from PC, and there is a RHODIMG.nbh on the SD card root... it will appear to be doing the PC thing.

At about 50% you will get a USB lost connection error.(or similar)

At this point I wiggled the USB, and then pulled it.. (doesn't matter)( Desktop Windows was reporting that there was no connection/device)

It appeared (on the phone screen) to do nothing for a minute, and then (on the phone screen) the progress bar started moving, and eventually completed.

LET IT COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you get done you will find that it was flashing the ROM on the SD card.

a) if you want to flash or run an exe from the PC, make sure there is NOT a valid ROM (RHODIMG.nbh) on the SD card, or simply pull the SD card.

b) Once it starts, if you do not let it complete, you may well brick your phone. Dunno...

[in my case I happened to have an Energy ROM on the SD card when I was trying to flash back to stock via an exe on the PC. It simply re-flashed the Energy ROM. I then deleted the ROM from the SD card and flashed again and it correctly went back to stock. ]

ya but caps on RHODIMG but im lost, thought your post says you can flash with pc with rom on sd?

Re: if trying to flash from PC, and there is a ROM on the SD card...
 

so very true - I failed to say "if there's a RHODIMG.nbh on the SD card, it will be used." and cause the above weirdnesses.

EDIT: and actually I said you CAN'T flash with PC if there's a RHODIMG.nbh on your SD card and the card is plugged in and valid.

repeated and corrected.

i am the guy from the other thread. thanks kris! so when it seemed like the hspl was giving the error and the phone seemed to have froze, it was actually still doing its thing. i am glad to know this, as i was doing things correctly but wasnt giving the phone time to finish flashing the rom. go figure lol. i will definitely give the hspl another shot asap.

Ah, good, Puff - so you're saying that you did not let it finish, yet it was not bricked???

Re: if trying to flash from PC, and there is a ROM on the SD card...
 

thats correct. and i reset my tp2 3 to 4 times. i didnt reset until after the hspl errored out and closed if that matters
