I stumbled on it while doing searches related to pay software of the same kind. Wasn't sure if it would work, but was pleasantly surprised!

Ill let you know what happens with the touch pro when i get it back. Im kinda excited now that i just might be able to see it go into boot mode, and put the stock rom back on it.

I have a feeling that you won't see it go into boot mode. The bootloader breaks the activesync, but by that time you shouldn't need to see it. Run the Stock RUU, watching the PC screen. It'll hit 100% (I hope) and reset the phone. Disconnect the usb and walk away. You can try hooking it up again later, but I don't know if activesync will connect to a phone that hasn't gone through initial setup yet. At least at that point you'll know the stock Rom is back on it, and you can try the procedures here to manually put it in bootloader and then run the relocker. Of course, you may be able to see the phone before initial setup. If so, that would be sweet!

You are probably right. But i was hoping that this program would acknowledge the phone and show it on the computer. But that probably wont be the case. i thought if i could get the oraginal rom back on there, then i could see it on the computer and be able to run the set up on it. As i recall you have to hit skip, skip, next and what ever to load the stock rom. I couldnt do that before cause i couldnt see it. Guess i will just have to wait patiently to get it back in the mail, then see what i can do with it. Thanks.

As long as you can establish an activesync connection, you "should" be able to see the screen. I may be flashing again later tonight, I'll do it with the pc interface and see how far I can get.

You're gonna love this.

Hooked the phone up to usb, and let activesync connect.

OpenedEveryWAN

Ran the Shipped exe.

Activesync broke the connection, as was expected. Watched to updater go to 100, and reset the phone.

Left the usb cable plugged in, and watched the phone so I could see what was going on and let you know.

Got the usual long wait, first run, blah blah blah. Then I heard the activesync link!

When Activesync showed connected and asked to set up the partnership stuff, I hit cancel, as I always do when flash dancing. No need to do a full sync when I'm just going to flash right away again.

Well, after the cancel, it shows connected, so I went back to EveryWAN and hit connect. It got the stuff about finding a phone without the software, and I agreed to let it install. It did, and up popped the screen that says tap the screen to set up your phone.

I clicked on the pc's phone screen, and it registered, and switched to the little crosshair screen!

No, that screen I could NOT do from the pc, but this is the ONLY time you will have to touch the phone. Use the stylus and get as close as you can to where you are supposed to tap. Center, Upper left, lower left, lower right, upper right. It may take a couple tries to get it right, but once you do, full control is back to EveryWAN!

So, YES, if your screen is dead, and you CAN get activesync to connect to the phone, you CAN use this to flash back to shipped, and of course I assume then run the relocker and you're good to go!

The relocker is the only part I didn't try. I'm dancing tonight.

Glad to have helped, you, and maybe lots of others too!

pssst, see that little "Thanks" button? Right over there--->?
That's all I ask.
