help with unlocking phone!
 

when i run the HSPL_037 program thing it goes to where it updates the rom image on my phone but about 15seconds in i get a error 202 error. it says that the phone isnt connected but active sync is running and says its connected. i read the thread on unlocking and downloaded the manual SSPL unlocked but it says sspl manual.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvenience and the only option is to close. can someone please help? should i hard reset? i read the first 6 pages of the unlocked thread and nothing helped. thisis my first time flashing a custom rom so please forgive my question. im going with mighty mikes rom btw. thank you!

Do you have the latest version of .net framework installed on your computer?

Re: help with unlocking phone!
 

yes, i even checked in add/remove programs and 3.5 is in there...along with 1.1, 1.1 hotfix, 2.0service pack 1, and 3.0 service pack 1. do i need all the others?

Did you try this step?

NOTE 2: anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy SSPLManual.exe from the SSPLManual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is in SSPL, run RUU manually. i.e. you run the RUU on the PC, if it isn't obvious.
make sure to get SSPL-Manual specifically for Verizon phones from the verizon package.

do i dl that onto my computer then put it onto my phone, then open it and run it from the phone, then while thats running, do i run the unlocker on my pc? and where do i save the unlocker? on my pc its saved to my docs, should it be saved to the harddrive?

Re: help with unlocking phone!
 

Yes you download that and then put it onto your phone. Run that program from your phone...Then run the unlocker on your computer.

Re: help with unlocking phone!
 

From what I have read, you would place it on your TP and run it there. Once that set your phone in the correct mode, you then run the RUU on your pc while the TP is connected to your device.

I have never run this so I am not speaking from experience but the person who wrote the directions has much more experience than I.

Please let me know if you are able to get this to work correctly.

I will mess around with it on my phone as well to see how it works.

Ok so I have done what the instructions said and ran into no problem.

The manuel sspl file was copied to my documents on my phone.

I connected my phone to my PC and then used the file manager on my phone to find and launch the SSPL file.

Once the rainbow screen came up on my phone, I launched the unlocker RUU and followed the directions.

Once it completed, my phone reset and all is good in the world.

Keep me posted.

one more question, when i start the flashing process and dl RUU.ziup attachment where do i put the rom? i saved the RUU.zip to desktop. do i open the RUU folder then just paste or drag the rom folder to inside that folder? or do i highlight the folder and extract it to desktop? so far i have the RUU folder extracted to desktop. i guess i put the rom in that folder on the desktop? sorry for the questions. i just want to make sure i dont mess up since this is my very first time.



EDIT: just ran the manual things from the phone and ran the unlocker on my pc and it worked! wen to bootloader mode then installed rom image thing. phone just restarted. can i use the phone right now while its unlocked or should i not use it until im ready to flash? thanks!!

Save the RUU file to the desktop and extract it.

ONce thats done just click on it and follow the directions.

Make sure you have 50 percent charge and your phone is connect to your PC before you start.

Glad to hear about the unlocker and yes, it is perfectly safe to use. All you have done is taken the carrier lock off the phone so the ROM can be manipulated or changed.
