I know there are other threads on this, and I have poured through them. Everytime that I go to unlock my VZW Touch Pro 2, with the radio ON, while it is SYNCED, i get an error stating that I already unlocked another device, and that I should donate if I wish to use the program commercially. I feel like I'm being ripped off here. I don't mind donating, but I don't like being forced into it. I have NEVER owned another windows mobile device before, nor have i unlocked one for somebody else. As a matter of fact, of ALL the people I know, I am the only person who actually HAS a Touch Pro 2.
The main reason I got it was because of the custom ROMS. I followed the instructions involving filing a ticket with the htc-unlock support site, but nobody has gotten back to me. The weekend is the only time I have available to do this, to be able to fiddle with it to make it usable in my everyday life before I head back out to work.
I would like to know WHY I am getting this error. Is it because somebody has usurped my phone's identification and used it for themselves? If that is the case, can they track that person down? Give me their IP address, tell me HOW they could have possible done it, etc. If that is NOT the case, then what other problems could their be. All the complaints about this problem have NOT been answered publically, people were just told to go to the above mentioned site, or to private message somebody.
That annoys me, I would like to know the reason WHY this is happening. It should be common knowledge, and should not be made hidden. I've scowered these forums, as well as PPC Geeks, and nobody has an explanation for this. Can somebody explain this to me?
same problem
I'm having the same problem. Today is my first attempt to ever flash a tp2 phone and I get the fatal error dialog (see below).. what is going on?

celitrd2, I don't suppose you are also on Verizon by any chance? I think I will wait till some of those bugs are worked out before I try to unlock my TP2 again. I don't even get as far as you guys. Windows Vista sucks ass!
I finally got a response back after my inquiry to the support site. They didn't explain HOW it happened, but they asked for my IMEI # and supposedly they're going to remove it from the "already unlocked" lists or whatever. Hopefully it will work, I'll report back next weekend when i will get some more free time to attempt an unlock.
I have sprint. I created a support ticket on on their site along with my phone imei# yesterday... still awaiting for their response.

Even on windows Vista, you shouldn't be having a problem using the unlocker.
I do know that a friend of mine tried using the HSPL Unlock on his computer, and kept running into problems. Turns out his phone was trying to sync with WMDC while he was unlocking.
Have you by any chance tried Plugging the phone into the computer. Let the phone completely sync with WMDC, then go into settings and deactivate auto sync. from this point you should be able to Do the unlocker without having any problems.
The problem I'm having isn't WMDC, it's the exe file within the zip. It will extract on the phone, but when I copy it over to desktop, a file with 0 bytes appears and becomes unaccessable. If I unzip it on the PC, no file appears. They said that AV programs will think it's a virus and prevent it from even showing up. So I disabled Windows Defender and Spybot, yet the same problem still happens. See, the PC with Vista is my sisters. I have XP on mine but no internet (except for VZ broadband on my phone, but that cant be used in this case). Everytime I use Vista, the damn thing irritates the hell out of me. Is anyone familiar with the services that run on Vista? Perhaps maybe you know what else needs to be turned off. There are no other AV programs except Norton Internet Security, and that isn't even enabled. I dont think that would do anything anyway since it's for incoming internet data streams.

I have a sprint tp2. never tried to flash before, ever. Have donated over 40 dollars now to olipro and feel pretty ripped. every time I do everything step by step active sync to the cab file download...but oh yes...the "fatal error" message every time. I'm sick.
Well I went to check the status of my ticket today, and it shows that it was closed. So being as stupid as I am, I assumed that the problem was resolved and I should be able to unlock my phone. I grab my phone, grab my usb cable and hook it up to my computer. I let everythign SYNC, I ensure the radio is on, and then I open up the unlocker. I click auto-flash, wait for the button to pop up to start the flashing, and sure enough I get the error message stating that I already unlocked a phone...etc.
What irks me the most now, is that when I let it be known to them that my time is limited, and the ONLY time I can fiddle with the phone is on the weekends they said I should donate to resolve the problem faster. That pisses me off, and it should piss off anybody who was forced into that situation. I would GLADLY donate money if everything worked properly, but it doesn't. I am going to start looking for a workaround for their security in the meantime. There were several leads on PPC geeks that I need to follow up, and I will not be donating if I am successful through those means. If, however, by some miracle they respond before then(which I doubt), I will be donating. We'll see what happens.

I completely agree! I never unlocked my device before - it's completely new and the IMEI has never been used (and I KNOW this for a fact because I work for my provider and know this device is NEW not REFURB) - and yet I am being told that my device is already used and they have to remove my IMEI from the list and to do so I should give them money. WTF?
Anyone been able to unlock their device on the first try without contacting them and giving them money?
I gave up on this. Just going to stick wiith the stock ROM and upgrade to VZ 6.5 ROM. This is too much of a headache for me. I dont remember unlocking ever being this difficult on a device.

I had no problems at all. Running windows vista ultimate on my home computer. These are the exact steps i took....Disable all antivirus and antispyware before you download (because it give a false positive and will delete some of the contents of the download), download the file to my desktop, allowed my device to completely sync, ran the exe file, followed the prompts and Unlocked the phone. I did use the paid unlocker though to do the sim unlock but I used the free unlocker for hspl. Make sure your not on a work or public network where someone else may have unlocked a phone. I read somewhere that it also prevents unlocks if someone on the same network unlocked a phone. Hope this helps.
Hello, recently I bought a Google g1 phone (used)... It was working perfectly until i tried to access wifi, it began to tell me wifi is unable to enable. So I began to read some threads online and one thread said that the wifi may begin to start working if you are to restart the phone from its factory defaults... SO I did and it was probably the most idiotic decision in my life because now it is asking me to enter in my account info for my Google account, oh and I forgot to mention... I am NOT in the United States, meaning I dont have any form of a data plan and am using a prepaid sim card, so I can't bypass this dreadful login screen . I am been looking through these forums and have found a link leading to a thread where it explains how you can bypass the registration page BUT there is one problem, my phone is not an RC29 model nor a modded RC30 but a LEGIT RC30! I've tried using the <enter>reboot<enter> command and it is not rebooting . So i am thinking I am going to have to find some way of flashing back to an RC29 but I have no clue as where to begin :'(... I really want to get this issue resolved, it is driving me crazy and i've only had this phone for 1 day! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, please just tell me how to flash this phone back to RC29 and that would be amazing!
what about rooting your G1 and porting super d rom. it will help bypass the sign in problem
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
ok well see the problem is I have no idea of how to do any of that... I have even tried connecting the phone to my pc and nothing is coming up on the screen about mounting the phone to my computer! Is this normal? Anyways, so what do you mean by rooting my g1; if i cant access the g1 through my computer can i get into the micro simcard directly (as in use a microsd adapter and connect it via usb) and install the terminal or what ever is used to flash the g1 back to RC29... If so that method would work wonders! Please reply with an answer... and again THANK YOU SO MUCH for your time!
You can customize the APN settings before logging in to Google. Just hit the menu key on the screen where you login (I think, it's been a while). You will need your APN info for your prepaid carrier though.
Ok, now I'm going into my third day with this phone, and I'm really struggling to find a way that it has made me happy. I mean, yeah, I like the OS and all, but Sprint still hasn't gotten back to me on whether they're going to send me a free Airave (I spend half the time in my home roaming). I had to reset the device yesterday to get it to connect to Marketplace - even though my account has never said anything but US (last time I left the country was in the Navy 21 years ago) - and even though I could connect to marketplace on Zune software, my phone wouldn't connect to it. Now I've got that working, by resetting the phone.
Now I can't get the phone unlocked. My developer account has been approved, identity verified, and the next step in my process is unlock my phone. I have tried all the tricks I've found so far: start phone, unlock the lock screen, turned off a bunch of services on my PC (like SQL, IIS, and more), reset my phone again, touch marketplace on the phone while connected so it says "connected" on the screen... Between all this and the lousy reception I get at home, I'm ready to just chuck this thing back at Sprint and say, "Thanks, but no thanks." The one thing keeping me from doing that is that Verizon is going to get the Trophy, and I want a phone with a keyboard. I've had keyboards on all my WinMo phones, and don't plan to stop now. I just wish this phone was available on VZW. I'm going to stick it out as long as I can, but iff I don't have an improved experience by day 28, Sprint gets it back... </rant>
Ok... Have I missed any other steps in getting this phone to connect to the Developer Phone Registration tool?
Have you tried following the directions here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Fo...s/thread/bfa70370-4926-4086-ad0e-febe716b8bf0
Yes, many times.... I never get past step 4.
Someone just told me an another thread that you have to be verfied through GeoTrust and to do that you must first create and submit an app that you have developed.
After you submit the app, supposedly GeoTrust will contact you via email and have you verify some personal information.
Make a fake app. That's all you have to do. Make one, then submit it. This will generate a claim number with GeoTrust. Trust me, I had to do this myself...
Have you got your certificate from msdn yet it takes a couple of days, once you get your certificate your account will be unloced

I just finished this. Hopefully by monday all will be well
My account has already cleared GeoTrust, and the next step is to unlock my phone. I'm not a student, but it wouldn't matter - I can't get that far. The reg tool doesn't even detect my phone.
If you're getting the dreaded "Check that the Zune software is running blah blah blah" message, this one is a PITA to deal with. From what I've seen poking around on the interwebs, it's hitting a good number of people. It happened to me too.
I have 2 systems that are identical hardware wise, and running 64 bit OSes.
I have 1 machine running a 32 bit OS (it's a much older system).
I was finally able to unlock the phone without any issues at all on the 32 bit system (after swapping out my phone and nearly a week of struggling with it) the very first time I tried.
I'm loving the phone, especially with it being unlocked, but it was a fight until I tried it on that last machine.
Poke Microsoft about it. The more they hear about it and the more information they get about it the faster they'll be able to fix it (that assumes the problem is even on their end).
I've heard using a USB hub (or if you're already using one then NOT using it) has helped some people. *shrug*
Thanks for all the suggestions - I appreciate them. I have yet to get my phone to get past the check zune... blah blah blah error, with the exception of one time. Here's what I did...
I reset my phone, got past the intro, added my live account, hooked it to the computer, let it sync with Zune (I had deleted the phone's proflie), opened the reg tool, and it found the phone. I entered my login info, and got the dreaded 0x64 error having to do with time on the phone.
Several posts I found had to do with people getting past this by using a different internet connection and finding success. Well, I have a rather odd internet connection going on. I live right behind my church, just beyond wireless range from the pastor's router. So here's what I have:
Scientific Atlanta DSL modem/router combo - pastor's connection
Buffalo high powered router running DD-WRT sitting on the platform (closest part of the building to my house), repeating the pastor's signal.
Buffalo high powered router running DD-WRT sitting in my computer room, repeating wireless to my house, and serving as wired router to the server and the HTPC.
Pastor's is 192.168.1.1, the one on the platform is 192.168.2.1, and the one in my house is 192.168.3.1, so they are all separate networks, each using the one upstream of it as a gateway.
So, given my success connecting to the phone, I walked over to church, phone still connected to the computer, connected to the pastor's router, and by this point in time, I can no longer connect to the phone.
I suspect that there is some update that Sprint is pushing that causes this problem, so I repeated the process several times, each time deleting the Zune profile, resetting the phone, going through enough of the startup to get to the settings, and putting it in airplane mode, then connecting in the specified order, allowing the new profile to be created, and still failing to connect to the phone from the reg tool.
Over on the App Hub forums, there are several of us with this problem, and a Microsoft team member said that they believe that it is something specific about the Sprint Arrive, and they are looking into it.
My main gripe about this whole thing is that since Sprint is a latecomer to the game, all the posts I'm finding about this are like six months old. Many people have overcome this problem, so you'd think that Microsoft would have figured out the problem by now, and fixed it.
I hope to get this figured out soon, as I am presently unemployed, and spent my $99 to join the App Hub, hoping to make a bit of money there until I get a job. I'm working on something, but until my phone is unlocked, I can't put my confidence in testing solely with the emulator.
Thanks for the tips guys. I do appreciate it.
I've heard really good things about the HTC arrive, I hope it works out for you. Who knows, it could be something NoDo related (because to the best of my knowledge those phones come with NoDo stocked on). I kinda hope it is, it would take the sting out of the fact that so many of us can't our hands on that update! haha ;-)
Yes, it does come with NoDo. It's interesting, takes a bit of getting used to, but it seems to work well. I love the phone. It feels more solid than my TP2. The only thing is that I wish the screen tilt wasn't spring-loaded. I got used to not using it most of the time on my TP2, so it's taking some getting used to on here.
Oh, frustration of all frustrations! I just grabbed my wife's phone and tried it for kicks. It took me all of 15 seconds to unlock her Sprint Arrive. So I know the problem isn't my computer. WHY WON'T MY PHONE WORK?????
(oh, and if it makes any difference, she's installed WAY more apps than I have)
did you try going to msdn?
My MSDN subscription has expired, but I have posted on App Hub forums. MS thinks it is something specific to the Sprint Arrive, but who knows?
If anyone else has had this problem, there is an official workaround posted on AppHub, but for those who don't have access to that forum, here's the copy/paste:
Re: Cannot register developer phone (HTC Arrive)
Reply Quote
Hi Folks,
There is now an understood issue with respect to the HTC Arrive that may be the cause of your problem. It can affect both developer unlock as well as the ability to update the phone. A KB article is in the works but here is the gist of it for developers having trouble unlocking the phone:
Windows Phone 7 Developer Unlock Tool cannot detect the HTC Arrive Phone
Abstract:
This article applies to developers of Windows Phone 7 applications who are testing their application using the Sprint HTC Arrive, model number PC93100, OS build 7389 or 7390. Developers may find that they are unable to unlock the Sprint HTC Arrive phone using the Windows Phone Developer Unlock Tool, for the purpose of deploying their applications to the phone for testing. This article offers a remedy.
Symptoms
The developer completes these steps to register the phone:
1. Registers through the App Hub as per the steps described in the App Hub registration walkthrough here.
2. Downloads and successfully install the latest version of the Windows Phone Developer Tools.
3. Owns an activated Sprint Arrive in which they personalize their settings (including date and time, and selecting a language).
4. Registers the Sprint Arrive with the same Live account they used in the app hub registration.
Next, the developer follows these steps for Developer specific registration:
5. Connects the Sprint Arrive to the developer's PC with the USB cable included with their device.
6. Ensures that the Zune software is running/open.
7. Launches the Windows Phone Developer Registration Tool.
8. The registration tool ultimately fails to detect the phone upon launch, reporting the following message:
"Unable to connect to phone. Please check that the Zune software is running and that the Zune's sync partnership with your phone has been established."
Cause
This occurs due to a specific state setting in the HTC Arrive that results in the phone not being able to make a desktop passthrough connection. This state condition can be mitigated by following the steps below.
Resolution
Use the following workaround.
1. If connected, unplug the phone device from the computer.
On the phone device:
2. Press the Windows button.
3. Press the right arrow button (on the top right of the screen) or swipe from right to left to expose the application list
4. Scroll to and select “Settings”.
5. Scroll to and select “Cellular”.
6. Select “Change Network Profile” and wait for this operation to complete (<-- this is a key step; you don't need to actually change it).
7. Press the Back or Windows key to exit the “Settings” menu.
After completing the above steps, follow through with the registration process:
8. Connect the Sprint Arrive to the development PC with the USB cable included with the phone device.
9. Launch the Windows Phone Developer Registration Tool (Zune software must be running).
10. The window titled "Windows Phone Developer Registration" appears which establishes a connection to the phone device and the following status message: "Status: Phone ready. Please enter your Windows Live ID and password and click Register to begin".
11. Enter the App Hub registered Windows Live ID and password, and then press the "Register" button.
12. The following status message appears in the window:
Status: Your phone has successfully been registered.

Thank you hopmedic that fixed it for me
this was driving me nuts and the info here solved it thanks
Thanks it worked.
Done the workaround, but nothing for me, still have the 0x64 error.
My phone was relocked after one year of AppHub. But now I can't unlock it again..
Also tried to deelete the phone in the device list on my account and use a proxy VPN network. I'm ttired of this. :/
I was using my phone for tethering following this post and it was working great.
Today in order to install the Mango Beta update I did a reset on my phone so that the backup step would be faster.
But I forgot to switch back my phone from "HTC Modem" mode to "Zune Sync" mode.
Now it just wont connect to the computer. I cannot install the same XAP file to enable the "Zune Sync" mode as the phone is not dev unlocked (it was dev unlocked before reset).
Now the phone is just recognized as a modem on my machine and Zune just won't recognize it.
I have searched google and the XDA forums but could not find any solution to this issue.
Any pointers to fix this issue will be greatly appreciated.
H8 to say it, but I think you are screwed because u can't unlock your phone. Talk to your carrier, make it seem like you are innocent, ask for a replacement and cross your fingers.
I am sorry

Have you tried reset via diagnosis menu?
Dial ##634# to get in Diagnostic mode and *2767*3855# to do a full reset.
After changing some settings in my omnia, it wouldn't connect to 3g, no matter what I did. I flashed roms, updates, did a reset via settings menu, called my mobile operator... today I did this reset and the phone wen't back to normal, so I assume that this reset is "harder" then the other

Tried this, its just for samsung decives. I could not find the Diagnostic code for HTC phones. Thanks for your answer.
Found the following on this thread:
Call ##634#
From the new debugging menu, enter: *#7284#
You see three options come up: Zune, Modem Tethered Call, Modem Diagnostic.
Then its easy to switch to Zune mode. But the problem is it just works on Samsung phones. I am not sure what the Diagnosis code for HD7 is. I have searched everywhere
I am not sure if I can call t-mobile for help as I had unlocked my phone and moved to another carrier.

Act all innocent and just say you have no idea why it won't update, tried on different friend's computers etc. Dont mention it's been unlocked as they will never find out how. However the replacement phone wont be unlocked so you'll have to unlock it again.
When I bought my Toshiba TG01 on Orange, I NEVER put an orange sim card into it, I used it with my O2 sim and I had it returned when it was 11 months

Thanks for the response. I will definitely try returning it.
I bought a used TP2 off of ebay the other day just to tinker with it. I've been playing with it for a week or so trying to unlock it, I know there is an unlocker made by Olipro/Cmonex available but I guess you have to pay for that. Although I have the Sprint TP2 and that one is Sim unlocked, but I was able to find a way to SIM lock/unlock it, I'm still trying to figure out how to turn Security off though, I mean setting Secu_Flag to 0. I I did a lot of searching but couldn't find any instructions about unlocking the TP2 for free. So here is what I found so far:
Step 1- HardSPL your TP2 (This is available for free)
Step 2- Load the following RUU rom to your TP2. It looks like this Rom when loaded to the RAM it enables some Atcmd commands that allows us to play with NV part of the ROM thus allowing us to Lock/Unlock: RUU_Signed.nbh (I couldn't post the link I need to post 8 times before I can) "mediafire.com/?n11beq12kk24hy5"
Step 3- Run the following Atcmd: (This sets the Simlock flags to 0 thus removing the Simlock:
[email protected]=0,1,code "where "code" is your MSL ( I set my MSL code to 000000 and found out that 22051978 worked too, I found this on the internet somewhere)
[email protected]=0,2,code
[email protected]=0,4,code
[email protected]=0,8,code
This only unlocks the SIM, I was able to toggle those on and Off on My Sprint TP2 without any problem. Now if only I can find the command that disables the Secu_Flag. I don't have a lot of experience with this maybe some of you guys have experience and could point me in the right direction to continue my small project I would appreciate it.

Hi there
Attached you will find a zip file containing two files RunATCommands.exe and result.txt. Create a new folder and unzip them to that folder.
You will also need to download pget.exe,prun.exe and pput.exe which you can find here: ( links have been blocked) in the same folder in addition to AtCmd.exe (Search for this using google)
Unzip the RunAtCommand.zip to the same folder where you saved the above p...exe files and Atcmd.exe. Make sure your phone is connected to activesync or windows mobile device center then run RunAtCommand.exe. You will have a form with a text box where you enter the AT commands you want to send to the phone. Click run command button, at the bottom you will get the result. If you are issuing a command that writes to the phone instead of just reading, and the result is 0, it's actually something like "0\r", you will have a success message too.
You might need .net framework installed on your PC too. and maybe you need to install EnableRapi.cab on your phone if you don't have it.
Let me know how it goes.

Are you saying that you tried the above on a Verizon TP2 and it didn't work? Or are you saying that it does say the phone is Sim unlocked? What happened when you issued the at commands mentioned in the original post? Did you download pget,pput and prun and put atcmd.exe in the same folder as RunATcommands.exe?

If you don't have atcmd.exe then you don't have the basic requirements for this to work, so why are you saying it doesn't work? I'm baffled. How did you issue the commands if you don't have atcmd.exe? And how did you get back @Simlock=00 if you don't have atcmd? If you indeed got @Simlock=00 after issuing the command [email protected]?40 then your phone is sim unlocked. Try to insert a GSM sim card in it and try it. Tell me what do you get when you issue the command [email protected]?AA please.

I wish I knew, I would have bought it from you for further testing. If anyone wants to sell their TP2 to me for a discount so I can do more testing on different versions of the TP2 please let me know.
Hey ccengineer, did you ever get yourself another tp2? Just noticed something interesting.
I put in a tmobile sim card into a Sprint deactivated tp2 and I got a voicemail notification even though the phone wouldn't register on the tmobile network. You surmised on the ppcgeeks thread that perhaps the US antennas or frequencies were not being assigned. However given that I am getting a voicemail notification every time I turn on the phone, I think the phone is able to talk to the towers. Perhaps there is a network ID blacklist in the NV Ram for Sprint phones.
The link on the first post is not working, can you upload the NBH file again please?
i want to try bur the file is miss...
please someone upload the patched nbh )
Was anyone able to get this working?
Anyone get it to work? Does this basically make the TP2 into a world phone? Any help is appreciated.
