I have a problem with my device after installing Sprite Terminator, it has set a device password and i cannot figure out what it is.
Is it possible to re-flash the original rom to the phone, it is an OEM kaiser and has never been CID unlocked ?
I was wondering about flashing the stock rom via SD card or i can browse the contents of the phone and send files to it etc via activesync, i just can't run anything on the phone itself as stuck on the password screen.
I seem to be able to get to the bootloader screen and it says USB down the bottom
Hope someone can give me some advice
Thanks
Install HardSPL and you will be able to flash via SD card, or use CID unlocking program.
have you tried doing a hard reset?
The sprite software stops a hard reset so that isn't an option.
It's currently running the stock HTC rom as i have not flashed it at all,
Can i just do a simple reflash of the stock rom or do i need to go the HardSPL route. i was under the impression that i could just flash an original rom over the top as long as it's the same carrier etc without and cid unlock or hardspl, I cannot run anything directly on the phone as it's stuck at a password screen but activesync connects fine
boot it in a tri colour screen
hold two soft buttons(line next to green and red button) and stick in the stylus at the same time
release the stylus hold the buttons
when you see the confirmation screen release buttons and confirm the Hard reset.
that should work, I dont see how can a program disable a hard reset when the OS is not booted up.
good luck

or just reflash the same rom.....
just thought that Hard reset idea would be easier.
just out of curiosity try doing the Hard reset as I said, before you reload the Rom, I am also interested in that Sprite software and would love to know if it is Hard reset disabled
I can boot into the tri colour screen, i hold the two soft buttons down push the soft reset and the phone starts, Smart mobility, animated HTC Logo, Windows Mobile 6 splash creen then straight to the enter device password screen nothing else,
Sprite Terminator says it disables the hard reset option so i think reflashing is my only option.
are you holding two buttons while you sticking the stylus in?
you have to hold them and at the same time do the soft reset.....
I dont see how the software can alter the bootloader.... I could be missing something
alternatively just run the rom update for your CID and you should be fine
I was holding down the 2 soft buttons and the device just boots back to the device lock screen.
The software does stop a hard reset somehow and you can remotely lock your phone if it gets stolen by sending an SMS to it.

I resolved problem from my last topic, but now I have the new one. Every soft or hard reset the phone turns it in to bootloader mode. If i want to quit from bootloader i must remove the battery cover, put it back and plug the charger - this is only way to turn on the device.
I can't upgrade the software, because after device turns in bootloader mode everything hangs up, flash software can't do the job. Also upgrade from SD card dosn't work, MDA can't read it.
I have a warranty, but with changed software it is uselessness
What should I do?
EDIT: I found soft-reset, i can make ib by removing the cover of the battery, as you know cover is connecter with hardware-button which turns device off. I suspect, that in my device soft-reset button and combination for hard-reset (power + soft-reset) have been mapped to bootloader mode. And I must only change this mapping to it's old valutes.
Does anybody know how to do that?
PS. Magician is fully functional, i even restored backup (from ActiveSync)
I have the same problem. Does anybody know how to fix it?
reflashing to the new wm6 lookalike rom worked for me... you can probably try flashing back to the standard 1.13 after that.
Bootloader
The bootloader is damaged and msuffering the same fate. i cannot upgrade or re flash as the computer won't recognise the device, i have a copy of the bootloader file i have downloaded off a website, but don't know how to replace the damaged one with this one.
I may just replace the phone and retire it.
help please

hello,
I've tried to install skype ona my cingular 2125 and now it doesn't work.
the phone just stuck on .cab extractin screen and i restart it.now the only thing it show is the cingular startup screen and that's all.I have the cingular rom update uttility but it says that the device is not connected to the pc using usb,and ask me to check the connection.
what i can do about this issue?can anyone help me?
thank you in advance
Try turning off USB connection in activesync. With the phone turned off, if you hold the camera button when you plugin the usb to phone (already connected to PC), it should start up in the bootloader.
Other method to get the bootloader is to hold the camera and the comm manager button and turn on the phone.
You should be able to use the ROM update utility with the bootloader.
Look at Karhoe's guide in the stickies at the top of this forum...
Maybe hard reset will be enough ?
Turn off Your phone. Press and keep hold of both soft keys, press the power button for approximately 0.5 to 1 second, phone will ask U if U are sure, press 0.
hard reset is a lot safer than reflash...
i can't believe
thank you for all the advises but unfortunateli non of them helps.I've trie everything and it still shows cingular's wellcome screen and that is all.after that the only thing i can do is to remove the battery because nothing else work.I put the original rom from cingular and everything was OK with the setup, but after that -the same.I've tried with this hard reset- the same.probbably the nezt thing that i will do is to hit it into the ground )

Missunderstanding here
Our goal was making Your phone alife again.
None of mentionated procedures could help with some unknown to us bug in Your version of 3-rd party software
The latest skype works perfectly for me, in WM5 and WM6, since you are going to hard reset, why not perform a WM6 upgrade?
re
I was tried to reflash with the original aku2 rom from htc/cingular (the flash was successfull)but after that the phone is still not working.allways the same- cingular's startup screen and that's all.also try with hard reset with no success.I doubt that this phone will ever work again.or if there is another way to "clean" the whole memory?!is it possible to hardware reset the phone?
Format BINFS and reflash, that will clean everything except the IPL and SPL
Alright so for some reason my phone would not flash roms fully they would always stop at like 89 percent or somthing...
So i thought maybe i should update my hard spl...
So i flash a new hard spl on my phone and now for some reason a htc pocket bios screen comes up and i cant even attempt to flash anything now...
Someone help?
Go get the official rom for your phone. Make sure your phone is in the bootloader screen (tri color) and it shows USB. Activesync will NOT connect (thats fine). Now run the RUU for the official rom (ignore where it says to make sure activesync is working. As long as the phone shows USB you are fine). Once you flash to the official rom, you should have a working device again.
At that point you need to verify if you have any type of hardspl installed (post what your phone says on the boot loader screen. You can get back to it by holding the camera button and doing a soft reset. Then just do a soft reset again to get the phone to reboot).
Good luck
My company is getting rid of active sync and making us non black berry users use good link which sucks. So I installed BBC and it was not working. I changed my data plan and got my pin and such still not working so I figured I would uninstall it and then reinstall it. Seemed like the uninstall went fine but it said I needed to restart my phone so I hit the soft reset button and everything froze. After 5 minutes I took out the battery and replaced it when the phone powered on it froze at the HTC splash screen and will not go any farther. I can get calls but that’s it. So I figured I would re flash it but every time I connect it to the comp active sync says it’s locked but there is no pass on it and I cannot get it to flash. Do I have a bricked fuse or is there hope????
are you flashing a official rom or custom rom? you may need to flash a custom rom due to something blocking you from flashing.
But try to flash the new rom via sd
You must have HardSPL so just make sure you read about how to flash a new custom rom.. remember you need HardSPL you wont brick the device.
rename the ruu_signed.nbh to raphimg.nbh and place it in the root of you sd.
To flash it, then hold vol down and press hardware reset button at the botton.
Hope this helps
Hi, i must be the dumbest person in here. I just bricked my used sprint touch pro 2. Well it all started when i did not get any sleep, and did not paying attention. My phone was fully unlocked. So i decided i could not wait to flash my phone. So i started to flash the phone, but after it was done i realized i only flashed the BLEEPING SPLASH SCREEN !!!!!!!!
So when i tried to turn the phone on, it loads to the splash screen only.
So i tried to connect it to my computer, but nothing. So i tried to hard reset, it goes to bootloader screen, then only to Touch pro 2 screen. Is there anything that i could do beside Cry, lol. HELP PLEASE.
Can you enter bootloader on your touch pro2?
If so, then its good news and its not bricked Download an official rom from HTC website (or here from the touch pro 2 forum), connect it to your computer whilst in bootloader (multi coloured screen) - make sure is says usb and not serial on ur devices screen and double click your downloaded rom.
It should flash succesfully and you will have your device back up and running in under 10 minutes.
Good luck.
Maybe i should elaborate more. when i said, when i connect it to the computer nothing. I meant nothing happens. Meaning it does not connect, or recognize the Usb, or computer. Help, THX
Ok, you know how to get ur device into bootloader right? what does it say on the screen (dont bother connecting it to your computer).
It jumps right from bootloader mode to the screen that ask me if i want reset all setting to manufacturer default, or cancel page.
soft reset = hold the power button and the volume button down and softreset
I think you are trying to to a hard reset
If you can stay in bootloader, it is possible to flash official stock rom from your sd card. It isnt too difficult to do so let me know and ill tell you how to do it, but have a look on the touch pro 2 forum, you will find how to do it there
Okay, i did a soft reset. And it is staying at the boot loader screen. So it is possible to fix this sprint phone?
Okay, i think i have an idea what you want me to do. You want me to put the phone in boot loader mode, then down load a .nbh file onto the root of the SD card. And while in boot loader mode it should flash the stock rom.
Is that correct?
Yes exactly that
Make sure you extract the nbh file from the stock rom using winzip or another utility. You must then rename it to something like xxxxx.nbh (you will need to get this from the tp2 forum or when i have time ill find it for u). COpy it to the root as you say, enter bootloader etc etc.
You will find how to do this in the tp2 forum.
Good luck.
Once you get into the bootloader (the tri-coloured screen) it should say "Serial" at the bottom. Then plug the USB cable in from your PC, and that should change to "USB".
If it does say "USB", then you should be able to go ahead and flash a ROM from the PC (no need to do it via SD unless you really want to). You don't need an ActiveSync connection.
Omg. I love you guys. You guys are the best in the whole amm world. I will be donating shortly. Thank you so much. It worked perfectly in boot loader mode to connect it to the usb. Than i was able to download the stock rom.
Now should i hard reset it or just leave it alone. Thanks a million.
Hey, good news.
I guess when you said before that it didn't say usb whilst in bootloader was because you weren't actually in bootloader no matter.
Glad you got it back up and running without having to flash via sd
If you flashed an official stock rom, don't bother hard resetting, no point, if you flashed a custom or cooked rom then normally advisable to HR after a flash but this does depend on the rom.
Cheers.
