I know, I know, there are loads of threads like this but I must be lacking something in the brains department as I've spent the last 6 days (since I got my orange tytn) reading this forum trying to understand how to unlock the thing without turning it into a brick and then to flash a rom and radio.
Everything I read on here has people contradicting other people and I end up not having a clue what to do in the end.
HEELLLLP!!!
To confuse matters even more I thought I'd got it sussed and then read about roms having/not having a CUBE!!!! WTF???? I then gave up and started typing this thread...
Here's what I think......and PLEASE correct me or agree with me....
Firstly I seem to be stumbling at the first hurdle since I have an orange tytn and that it seems is the worse to have for some reason???
I thought I'd start off simply by using the kaiser simunlocker to unlock the phone (by jocky) but then came across something called hardspl with all its variances, so OK lets go with the flow and dismiss the hardspl step for now assuming I can do it and read on...
Assuming I could ever find a program that makes a backup of the rom I've got I'd carry on with the unlocker until I get to the step (step 10) that says download the original radio..............this of course doesn't exist (1.27.14.32) so I look for a proggy that downloads the radio to use at this point. Here's where I come unstuck again.........no proggy!!
At this point I must assume that this may not be possible on the model I've got if I want to be sure I can make it original again.
Could someone please confirm this so I can accept the fact that I have to use what came with the phone and save myself a few hours a night getting nowhere...
Sorry for my rant but I'm frustrated that my old brain can't figure this out and giving up seems to be the only option. I completely understand that I'll get flamed for this since I'm a noobie and asking again what numerous otheres have asked but I accept that...
I have great respect for all you guys that can actually understand this on first reading and especially the people who produce this stuff....
Thanks again folks

Screw what everyone tells you and start with the link above this thread. Actually the second thread on this page. I think I am one of the oldest around here so its not your "old" brain. _Alex_ has gone to great length to get all of the information you need in one place. Start with his sticky. Good luck.
hello, lots of stuff to learn, first thing, which sounds like you did is read, next hard SPL
see the 2nd sticky in the forum,
go down to kaiser wiki, then rom tools wiki, the 3rd choice, hard SPL cid unlock, read carefully and install, once completed, now your phone is ready to flash roms, (for Kaiser) most come with radio or recommend radios to use and not use. if you have problems with hard spl then use the wiki again to troubleshoot and the first 2 stickys
im out
just sell your kaiser and stick to a razor......lol.....j/k....just listen to p1tater...hes right!!
Hey family guy,
A few months back I got an Orange TYTN II just like you. I read for about a week on here untill I felt confident enough in the steps needed to flash a new ROM. First off I Hard SPL and then went for Dutty V3 ROM which was perfect untill I then felt clever enough to flash a new ROM a few weeks later. Due to not sim unlocking correctly the first time around, upon a new radio being flashed to the phone It locked my SIM.. untill I found out the true way to SIM unlock the phone.
Once you have Hard Spl and SIM unlocked you are well away. I know at this point you are probably feeling pretty confused with all this but believe me it is well worth it in the end.
Oh and FYI.... I can confirm that there is an Orange original Rom on here and a few compatible radios should you ever need to revert back to them for some reason as I had to do this myself at one point when trying to work out where I was having issues with something.
All the best
Chris

PMSL....That's where it went, I knew I had left it somewhere. Now where are my damn glasses I can't read a thing.
Unlock your Orange Kaiser
Here's my experience ..
1. Basically HardSPL your Tytn II to facilitate a cooked ROM that can be 'sim unlocked'
2. Install the Cooked Rom
3. Run the Sim unlock generator code
4. Phone is *UNLOCKED !*
5. Install a ROM of your choice
6. Install a Radio of your choice
Here's the stuff I used:
READ ALL THE POSTS - READ ALL THE POSTS !!
** USE WINDOWS XP OS with Activesync!! **
1. HTC Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 - CID Unlock & Flash any ROM to your device
You will know you got it right when it says either 1.0.HardSPL or 1.0.OliPof.
NOTE: I had problems here and had to force it with JumpSPL1.93 because HardSPL would not install.
2+3. I used Jockyw2001 Kaiser Sim Unlocker v0.1
NOTE:
> The file has three steps ... 1, 2 & 3 so you can't go wrong:
> Step 1. Installs the 'patched' Radio
> Step 2. Generates the key code for unlocking (on your PC) which you enter into the Tytn.
> Step 3. Installs a replacement radio
4. My code was a series of numbers that I had to type into the screen.
5+6. Read my signature for what I'm using today (it changes)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All instructions are on screen with prompts.
I sweated for days before I chanced it and it took me about 15 minutes from start to finish but you end up with a pucka HTC looking Tytn II and not the Orange variant.
A few important pointers from the bit I learned:
1. You cannot do this on a WM6.1 Tytn II, you have to go down to WM6.0 - As mine was WM6.0 it didn't matter.
2. Vista is a ***** for doing this and you have enough things to think about without the PC's OS .. USE XP !!
3. HardSPL once done, the Tytn II is clear for all future ROM + Radio upgrades.
4. Bootloader = Power button + Camera button + Reset with stylus
5. Hard reset is Left softkey + Right softkey + Reset with stylus
6. Always Hard reset after blowing any new ROM before using.
7. Backup all your contacts etc. to your SD card with PIM Backup 2.8 before you do anything.
8. Remove the SD card before you begin.
9. The 'Cube' isn't always included in the ROM's - I use this CUBE
10. Most Roms come with their own 'loader' called 'Kaiser_RUU' so you don't have too much to think about.
11. Stick your Radio and ROM information in your signature, you never know when you may want to go back and forget what you had installed ;-)
12. Installing a new radio on a phone that isn't SIM Unlocked will result in a LOCKED TO ALL NETWORKS phone - So SIM Unlock it !!
Enjoy
PS. Let me know if you can't find the files you need.

PPS. Before you unlock your Orange can you pop over to this thread and answer Rabdo's question - Thanks.

Hey I have a question about this point - I've never SIM unlocked my phone and have flashed about 6 ROMS, and various radios and never had a problem. All I did was run hardSpl, then started flashing.
So what I'm asking is are you sure of this point?

I have heard before that Orange Kaiser's are a little different to other networks and need to be SIM-unlocked before they can use a different network.

Hi all and thanks for your comments advice and encouragement..........just quickly looking at the old age thread I am one of the oldest at 47!!
The thing about this thread is that it's happened again and there are only 13 posts!!
There's been contradiction about the orange tytn above. Some peeps say it needs to be unlocked (and that they've done it but don't mention what radio they're using), and some peeps say it doesn't need to be unlocked!?!?!?
There is my confusion and my hesitation to do anything in case I lock the sim out completely. That I can't have as I need the phone at all times to get in toch with my kids (humans or small goats depending on what your state of mind is!).
Here is what I think I should do...
1.) Use hardspl to unlock something (not sure what at the mo) so that I am able to flash
2.) Unlock the SIM lock using kaiser sim unlocker (or not! jury is out, but not sure which radio to use so scared of brickifying it)
3.) Flash my choice of rom (but not sure if I have to then flash a radio or if the radio is included in the rom)
That's about all my poor tired OLD.......VERY OLD brains can figure out and there are enough 'I don't knows' there to stop me in my tracks...
I'll keep reading though but in the meantime I could do with gleaning info from someone who is in the UK on orange and maybe has a recent model...

I'll be 48 in August, so it's not just the Youngsters who play with the 'phones.
(Does that make me the oldest ?)
I bought the TytnII from the Orange Shop in Leicester just before Christmas but didn't have the bottle to unlock it for months ... Main reason was the unlocking 4 months ago was £20 !! and i didn't want to brick it either.
I spotted someone selling the unlocking service on ebay about a month ago, so I knew someone had cracked it here (and some cheapskate was selling the service.)
Feel free to private message me, if you need to we can talk it through over the phone.
Alan.

I may have added to the confusion - I do not have an Orange phone, adn was questioning whether you need to SIM unlock the phone b/c I hadn't. Later it was pointed out that Orange phones may be different and need to be.
mattarse
Greetings to all...........and a damn good weekend to everyone!!
mattarse you simply added to the confusion in my mind............for other it was probably very clear
ajs007, I will PM you and perhaps a quick chat to get me up and running would be great!
One thing I do know though..........when (yes, I've gone from if to when) I get more knowledable about this I'll be one of the first peeps there to help anyone out if I can!
After a long chat with ajs007 (for which I am very grateful) I felt I had the confidence to go ahead and install hardspl using the jumpspl route.
My tale of woe follows as it was unsuccessful every time...
I followed jockys instructions,
1a. download the 5 attached files
1b. connect your PC to phone with a USB cable
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your device and run it (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you still get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe
4. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the phone display
5. unplug and replug the usb cable
6. deselect "Allow USB connections" in Activesync connection settings
7. now flash hardSPL (run KaiserCustomRUU.exe from flash-hardSPL.zip on your PC)
After step 3 (for both 1.56 & 1.93) I get the tri-colour screen (not mentioned above) shortly followed by 'USB' on the white at the bottom (step 4).
(I guess this makes it a quad colour screen instead of
I then did step 5 and step 6 as above and moved on to step 7 to run kaisercustomruu.exe.
I then get a screen which says verifying phone settings and a further screen which has 'current info about your pda phone:' and lists nothing!!
Another line that says 'image version:' and has nothing listed and yet another line that says 'select from below:' and has nothing next to it!?!?!?!?
There is a button that says update the current ROM version but I dare not press it if it is going to update with nothing!!!??
On top of all that I read contradiction again where the instructions above state that you must deselect 'allow usb connections' yet when you run kaisercustomruu.exe it states that you must have an activesync connection....
I'm now really confused and convinced it just isn't to be. Sorry Alan it did sound so easy when you explained it but there must be something different about my phone.........I'm going to throw myself or the phone or both of us off a tall building.............now Im totally depressed
Exit stage left feeling very sorry for oneself...
Looks like everything was A.O.K. for flashing..
IMPORTANT ** You didn't say if you had SPL xxx PoF on the Tri Screen ?
I didn't have any reference to a ROM on the install screen but it worked, probably because the ROM was in the same directory and it didn't need to look anywhere ....
I think (but I'm not 100%) the activesync USB connection is an XP v. Vista thing, and you do need USB connection in XP.
In summary, if you did have SPL xxx PoF on the Tri Screen you should be good to go.
From totally & utterly confused to successfully running Dutty's 6.1!!
Lots of bonus points and many thanks to AJS007 for allowing me to bother him with all my questions and lack of confidence.
Here's my tale...
Firstly I tried to install hardspl running from my PC and a USB cable but I got the infamous white screen!
I then followed the instructions for using jumpspl version 1.53 (for some reason the instructions I read didn't say remove and re-inset battery therefore I didn't do that bit!).
I got to the bit where 'USB' appears on the screen and pulled out the cable then re-inserted it. I have no idea why you do this but I did it. When I pulled the cable out the screen had 'Serial' on it and when I re-inserted it, it went back to 'USB'
I carried on to the next step and unchecked the 'Allow USB Connections' in Activesync (again I have no idea why you do this) and went on to run 'kaisercustomruu.exe'
Here's where I hesitated and got stuck. The program started on the PC and got to a point where it interrogated the phone, shortly after that I was presented with another screen that waited for my input ready to 'Update' but I hesitated since there was no information listed under 'Image Version:' and 'Select from below:'.
I wasn't sure what to do here and cancelled the whole thing in case I bricked it
After further investigation, more reading and speaking once again to my mentor AJS007, I decided to go ahead and throw what caution I had left to the wind, so I pressed the 'Update' button.
After a few more screens I got to the point of no return and gritted my teeth.........nothing happened........I disconnected and re-connected and tried again..........nothing again............after a third time though (and I don't know why) it burst into life and I got the 'percentage screen'.
At this point I did think I had trashed it but plodded on regardless in the hope that I hadn't and everything would be OK. Thankfully it was and on entering the bootloader screen I saw 'olipof'..............all was well
This gave me the extra bit of confidence I needed to go through the unlock procedure and then on to flash Dutty's latest. I did get to the point where I had to enter the unlock code and it took 2 attempts to accept it for some reason........I can't explain that either!!
It was all in all a stressful time and involved a lot of pacing up and down when the ROM was flashing, taking what seemed to be hours to complete and slowing down to an almost stop at certain points, but in the end it did all work and I am now left with a transformed T2, but with the following little problems,
1.) My bluetooth headset has to be paired every time I want to use it!
2.) When I go to re-calibrate the screen (with the cross hair) it freezes up and I have to do a soft reset.
3.) My screen 'tap' noises have disappeared (except when I press the 'start' button)
I haven't tried to reflash the radio to see if that will take care of the bluetooth issue yet but I intend to do so in the next few days.
For anyone that's interested I'm using the radio ROM that was included in Dutty's latest build (WM6.1_5.2.19209) which is 1.58.16.27.
Finally, once again my thanks to AJS007 who went to the trouble of helping me in my few hours of need.
If anyone new here would like to ask me any questions about my noobie experience please don't hold back!!
Ok, I'm not new to flashing, but am new to it on the Tilt.. I have a PPC6800 with alltel but I'm moving soon and I picked up a tilt on ebay that stuck in bootloader showing the following....
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
I tried flashing the stock rom from HTC and I got a connection error saying it wasn't connected.
I'm letting it charge for a while before any other attempts, just wondering what the problem may be. I'm using a cradle from my PPC6800, but it fits and says USB when in it..
Any idea where to start?
Thanks
Dude, everyone reading this has better than an idea. You didn't HardSPL first, which means you probably neglected to read. You should be severly lashed & flogged.
Ok, I didn't do anything to it yet... I bought it this way what's why I'm asking..
I'll take the lashing if need be, I'm reading up on the hardspl right now..
I just didn't want to go in the wrong direction.. I don't know what SPL came on it to know where to go..
Ok... All I can get from windows is Unrecognized device when I plug it in.. Both XP and Vista Ult give me the same thing.
I tried the USBAS drivers, but it will not let me install them. I get a error about 32bit versions...
Well I stumbled through some info that said hold the OK button on the side, the power button on the other side, and reset with stylus...
I did this, then the phone booted with a 1.57 something rom.. lol
Now I'm wading through the hardspl...
well now after the hardspl it boots, goes through the animation and goes black.. hitting sleep button a whole screen of multicolor dots, but I can't get anything readable..

You haven't told us too much about what's on the phone. If it's gone through the boot animations it may just be a case of having an incompatible radio.
You say that hardSPL flashed ok (check by forcing to bootloader). If this is the case then you could try flashing a new rom and compatible radio - maybe try Dutty's latest because it includes rom and radio in one flash.
on the phone is a stock att rom, and hardspl V1..
all I get out of it now is bootloader screen.
I can boot from mtty, but reboots or flashes just get me a bootloader.
I can't get the bootloader back to factory now.

Ok, this is now (probably) beyond my ability to help - anything I'd advise would be guessing and could potentially screw your phone.
If you have hardSPL, are stuck in bootloader and have been playing with mtty then you probably need GSLEON3 to come back and help you.
Only a bit of advice - don't screw with mtty any more yet - some commands work differently to earlier phones and it can really screw your phone if you do something wrong. Just write down everything (in order if possible) that you did in mtty and wait for the Guru to return.
In mtty I've done the set 16 0, task 28, task 0, and boot commands.. Not all at once or in that particular order.
Well I used task2a in mtty, I have an original rom but phone does nothing now..
I hit power button and I get a green light, no screen, and if the usb is plugged it I get unrecognized device on the PC..
Is it time to send it to HTC? or can I still salvage it?

Only GSLEON3 can help you now. Please everyone for future reference, if you do not know what you are doing with mtty, dont mess with it. It is one of the easiest ways, with what I have seen lately, to brick your phone. I suggest you look up GSLEON3. If he cant help you, then you now own a nice shiny brick. Sorry.
I'm reading through several of his brick posts now..
I can't seem to get any drivers to recognize it at the moment..
It just says unrecognized when plugged in, and won't let me update drivers.
Anyone have a ballpark of what HTC charges to "reset" a device?

You did see the "don't mess around with MTTY anymore" post above right?
Now you're stuck in OEMSBL & unless you are truly security unlocked, you'll have a bit of a wait to use the device.
Anyway, find me on MSN/Live Messenger ([email protected])
You need the Moto Q9 drivers, & a lot of luck. If you aren't security unlocked though, well...That's another story.
If it is a Tilt, there are very few service centers. Texas is the one I know of. Thru AT&T you will have to buy a new refurb device for $200. If you can get a service center to do it it's about 80 - 90 bucks.
Yes I know... I did see the warning..
I also read through your horror story posts albeit a bit late.. Some lessons are more costly than others.
I've called the center in Texas for my RMA, but we'll see how this goes.
It did say "Security Unlocked" at the top of the bootloader screen, I'm sure of that..
I'll install MSN..
Thanks
Hey guys I like this community and would love to get more involved. I was wondering if some of you could help me understand some of the lingo around here so I can get better acquainted with what I am doing. I would like to load a cooked rom onto my HTC Touch I have the sprint version, but I went to the touch section on the forum and it feels like I am trying to read another language >.< so if anyone could help me understand some of this I would be greatly thankful, thanks in advanced
cooked roms are custom roms. your provider locks your device to only ve able to load roms that they provide... therefore you need to unlock your phone to be able to flash it (through hard spl.)
here is a link on flashing your first rom.
Just follow directions and you will be fine (BUT MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THEM OR YOU WILL TURN YOUR PPC INTO A VERY EXPENSIVE PAPER WEIGHT)
Wow thank you tons for the quickness of the reply
no prob
Everything went fine when I was going through the steps, and everything seemed to be going right through the HardSPL step three, but when my phone restarted itself, I got nothing but a backlight I hope I dont have an expensive paper weight >.< Is there anything I can do to fix it?
what phone are you using
Im using the HTC Touch by sprint, but now instead of black it is The HTC smart Mobility screen
The thread i gave you earllier was for a refrence on how to flash....
I'm guessing you tried to install something from that page. (that page was for the kaiser)
You can only flash things made for your device.
Here is a such thread with some refrences to the correct things you will need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458449
PS: if you think you bricked your device here is some info on unbricking
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24906
Yeah no it's completely bricked now I cant even get it to turn on :/
If you can get to the bootloader on your device by following the instructions here you can save your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362768
"hold the end key and the side camera key and stick the stylus into the hole"
you will need to hold the buttons till after the screen comes up (if you can get it to come up)
Yeah I cant even get my phone to turn on now Im guessing its done for good :/
Dear Folks at XDA,
I would like to ask for you help with my HTC Touch Pro 2. I recently tried to update it to the new AthineOS CHome TF3D WM6.5 Manila ROM v 1.0 and unfortunately I failed.
The problem is that my phone now freezes at the black startup screen with the Touch Pro 2 logo and the red codes at the bottom.
I've flashed the ROM several times before and never got this issue.
Due to the fact that the phone doesn't finish the boot-up and I thus I can't get ActiveSync I'm afraid I messed up my phone for ever.
Please someone tell me I got a way out of this, I'd appreciate it very much.
Greetz,
SjonSjon
umm.... I don't think you can change the firmware just yet on the CDMA version of the phone... if you used a HardSPL that's available in the Rhodium forums then you probably used a GSM specific ROM on your CDMA phone... not sure what to tell you other than making sure you read the CDMA forum before trying something so risky. Best solution, unless someone knows how fix your phone in it's current state, is to toss it under your car and run it over and try to cash in on the insurance.
Problem solved!
Hey guys,
I got my HTC Touch Pro 2 functioning again. Thought I'd post the solution for other people who might encounter the same issue. I don't exactly know what the problem was. I'm assuming a non-compatible ROM or something, but after opening 30 tabs in my browser and reading my eyes out I found that if you put your phone into bootloader mode and connect it through usb to your computer you can flash the ROM without using activesync.
So I turned my phone off, pressed the power and Volume Down button simultaneously and then used the Stock ROM upgrade software from HTC to restore my phone
This solution beats the hell outta "run it over and try to cash in on the insurance" if I say so myself!
Greetz,

I am glad you have recovered the beautiful device; and thanks for sharing a working solution.

Don't get our hopes up! This is the wrong forum. CDMA TP2s can't be flashed at all yet.
This was a life saver post so a quick bump for anyone that needs it.
I unlocked my CDMA phone, installed a few roms -- decided to go back to my stock rom default (which was Telus) -- reinstalled and bam -- bricked.
Well, technically it's not a brick if you can get back into the bootloader to reflash. So no worries everyone. If everyone reads instructions well enough we should hopefully see zero "real" bricks. Or at most, just enough to only build bbq pit rather than a house.
I think my phone is truly bricked
I was unlocking my phone (the HTC Touch Pro 2 <Verizon>) and I was using a Diamond unlocker (I thought it would be fine), but during the process there was a connection error and now my phone seems to be bricked. I can't get it to even turn on, get to a bootloader screen, or anything even remotely close.
The one odd thing that it does though, is when I connect it to my computer, it pops up and my computer recognizes there is a device there. In my Device Manager there is an unknown device called: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I have tried every combination of two buttons, including holding down the reset button with all of them, but nothing gets me anywhere.
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. Let me know if you need any more information.
my cdma is rebooting endlessley i reflashed stock rom and evorything. it seriously dosnt want to work. its most sadness... i am cashing in on the insurence. but they are going to send me a refurb..
spend 600$ on a phone got inurnce i hope the used one dosnt fail me.

I did the same exact thing to mt TP2. Same outcome.
We have to learn somehow....
That stinks man. If you did, then your phone is truly bricked. You are going to have to get a replacement or switch to another phone because there is nothing you can do to get it going again. I tried everything possible and eventually just ordered a replacement. I have it now and it's working beautifully, but needless to say I am a little scared away from any more unlocking or flashing for a while.
If you read carefully you dont have to be scared of flashing
I was a noob some time ago but before doing anything I took care of reading and understanding before doing nothing.
lesson learned
By now I have flashed more than 60 times on 3 diferent HTC devices and all were a succes
Hope you get your TP2 working again!
I hope I can get there
Someday I hope to be a flashing expert, but until then I will take it slow and read carefully. Thanks for your encouragement. When I actually get money to pay for the unlock for my TP2, I will let you know how flashing goes.
How do you keep the phone in bootloader? Mine goes right to the press volume instuction screen. Other than that I'm stuck on the black name screen,also my usb will not register in device manager. This was my first try at flashing.

Holy hell, you're not lying. Thanks for coming back to post your solution!
This post saved me at least a few hours of frustration and ever worsening decision making.
So it's totally true???
this situation hasn't solution;
I was unlocking my phone (the HTC Touch Pro 2 <SPRINT>) and I was using a Diamond unlocker (I thought it would be fine), but during the process there was a connection error and now my phone seems to be bricked. I can't get it to even turn on, get to a bootloader screen, or anything even remotely close.

If anyone could help, AND PLEASE somebody tell me , that it can be save it
;9
please help
i have the same problem. is there a way to save my phone?
Hello all. i am noob. i just got the infuse last night. used the 010 hex editor to get the unlock code for the phone. i also used that 1click root program. the problem i am facing is that after i did all of this my dial pad is all messed up. the bottom buttons (send key, voicemail key etc) are cut off about half way. its almost as if its a screen resolution problem. was hoping someone has an answer to this better than what att told me which is i need to get a new phone, i really hope thats not the case. please help!
GTG's Ultimate Unbrick will put your phone back to stock.
Then use SuperOneClick to root and I used InfuseRootUnlock_v4, to get my Unlock code.
Any guaruntees it will work? i will try this. and the unlocker you speak of i tried using but kept getting an error message and it wouldnt provide me the unlock code. i guess i could punch in the same one i have written down? I appreciate the help, thankyou.
I don't trust att. My dsl was down, I told them that I knew of three others that were also down.
She had me unplug my dsl modem, then informed me that ghe modem was bad because she couldn't access it.
She then proceeded to try and sell me a new modem. I refused of course, knowing that it was them and not me.
So, no guarantees, but that's what I'd do.
Cranky...
ok. So, i turned the phone off. took out the battery, gave it a second, popped the battery back in, held down both volume buttons while doing so plugged in the usb cable, nothing shows up in the COM line on Oden3.
Sigh what to do now?
Is there any other way I can get the phone back to stock everything?
By the way, if it helps, when i rooted the phone I did NOT install any custom roms, i left it the way it was.
Thankyou for all the help you have been giving me so far.
and Odin recognizes it when i have the phone on and plug it into my computer.
When i boot into down load mode, My computer says that it does not recognize the device? which is weird.
I have also installed Kies
Okay, sorry to be posting endless amounts of posts but i just found something out. This phone must have already been rooted and someone must have already installed a custom rom. i looked at the phone settings and it says its running on "Infused". Now, going into clockworkmod and then into download roms, then to the gtg465x, in BIG BOLD letters it says "WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL YOURSELF! FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS POSTED ON XDA" - Infused v2.2.3
Which is exactly what rom i am running on.
My guess is, is that some "genius" decided not to pay attention to that and follow the directions and screwed it all up. WHICH was not me. Hence, i have not installed a custom rom on this phone.
So back to step one I guess. I sincerely apologize for this, I really do appreciate your help.
Could I install another custom rom such as CM7? Maybe that will fix the dialer issue?
FIXED
okay so i fixed it. All i did was re,download the rom. did both wipes, (didnt do backup, already had one) let it install the rom again, back to normal. Finally.
Thankyou for your cooperation though!
Glad to hear
Cranky...
same problem
