Ok here is the deal I studied http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008 downloaded all the software. My phone is GSM TP2 Sprint, I started with the FlashHardSPL and I ran RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe (step 5)
clicked on the appropriate buttons..and it started to load. It remain stuck at 0% for a while and I got an error in the meantime my phone also just shuts off goes completely black. I think its safe to say its officially bricked i tried to do a hard reboot nothing comes up..I cant even power on or enter bootloader. The only thing I get to come on is the Charging Orange buttom.
I'm using Windows 7, and Net 4
any unbricking ideas?
You have a CDMA Touch Pro 2. This is for GSM Touch Pro. Completely different phones.
Your phone's probably dead, and like petard said, it's not gsm, it's cdma if it's a Sprint. Not that that matters anyway, because you flashed a raphael hard spl onto a rhodium. Despite the similar brand name, they're completely different phones. I suppose you could spend some time trying to flash the proper rhodium-cdma hard spl (if it exists), but my guess is that you won't save the phone. Or, if you can get ahold of a stock (not reconstructed) sprint rom, try flashing it (make sure it's a TP2 rom, not a TP rom). The fact that the bootscreen was stuck on 0% says to me that you may have a little hope. Have you removed the battery for a while, then tried turning on the power or soft resetting? If that doesn't work, go to the flashing.
Well that pretty much sums it up for me...Why does the tutorial say that if it has a sims card then its a GSM phone, that was my biggest concern I checked and found a sim card I knew Sprint was CDMA phones but TP2 being and international phone also I thought it was an GSM phone. I guess I will look around try you guys unbricking schemes thanks alot.

Ok does CDMA has a tutorial like the GSM?...I will search too thanks
First of all: touch pro 2 is not raphael...so you got that wrong. Second, I have a GSM Raphael and I almost bricked it while trying to install a CDMA ROM but I managed to go into the bootloader and fro there it was easy...Try that yourself and see if it works...
BTW:
It says it clearly:
***THIS TUTORIAL IS FOR THE GSM RAPHAEL'S ONLY!!! DO NOT USE WITH CDMA VERSIONS***
I apologize for the noob error thanks all

There are newer phones coming out that are dual sim-cdma. You use the cdma networks in the US, and then can use pre-paid sim cards abroad (cdma phones are pretty much useless abroad). I guess this is what you have. I have no idea how you flash one of those. You sure you're not confusing the sim card with an sd card?
If you can get into bootloader, you may be ok. But it sounds like you can't, so I suspect the phone is toast. The problem with flashing the wrong hard spl is that you now have an spl that doesn't work properly, and it also can't be over-written. The spl boots up the phone, but it also controls rom upgrades. So, it doesn't work, it can't be over-written, and it won't allow you to flash anything new. That's a bad place to be.

Dang, sorry about your woes. Funny, with the craziness of the HSPL for your phone coming out any time now, I just did what you did! Yeah, and I'm not really a noob either. lmao!! My TP2 didn't brick, I just got an error message. Lucky?
Tell us what happens when you try to turn your phone on...
Idiot x 2
I just bricked mine.. It was a Sprint Duel mode CDMA TP2.. i was tired and loaded the wrong file.. it all loaded fine.. then reboot, and black screen.. no power, no nothing.. now what..??
sadly
Same Goes for me have a Sprint TP2 and used the wrong cdma or gsm rom or spl not sure happened about a month ago been keeping it as a paper weight...Hold Power button (Top left) and vol. down at the same time let go of power button keep holding vol down does nothing..Power button alone does nothing..Plug it in and the charging light goes on then I assume battery is fully charged the light goes off... pc doesn't detect it mtty.exe doesn't pick it up when i put it on usb..
Bottom line..Its a $200 paper weight with a keyboard now?
Makes you worry when people have £500 + phones and they just jump in and brick there phones, all the info is provided just takes a day or so to read, read again then do it again....

You bricked it. I would search the forums carefully and maybe some of the chefs or better experts than myself can give you some suggestions.
I don't want to "rub salt in the wound" but there were numerous warnings posted across the forums about not installing a GSM ROM onto a CDMA phone (and vice-versa):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616537&highlight=brick+phone+gsm+cdma
I wish you the best of luck un-bricking your phone. Worst case scenario, take it back to USCC and say "it's broke".
Dude,
CDMA and GSM devices have COMPLETELY different hardware. The radios are not compatible at all. A hard lesson learned. Hopefully you can get it replaced and start over. I highly recommend rereading the stickies here and/or on PPCGeeks that talk about hardSPL unlocking, unlocking, relocking, flashing, radio flashing, etc before you do anything to your next device.

sprint tp2 to boost
i am stuck at boost csr and i need help.. i have a sprint tp2 trying to get to boost i checked to see if i have a clean esn and i do and i also read many blogs/forums that are well respected keep getting shut down. need help badly
I called today and swapped from my mogul to a TP2 I got on ebay, the csr asked my what kind of phone it was, I said I didnt know, she asked what the meid was, and once I finished giving it to her she said well, this is a sprint phone but I can activate it anyway you just might not get data. She proceeded to activate the phone, give me the msl and walked me through manual programming (##MSL#, then type in min and mdn), the phone rebooted, she had me try a test call to *611 and it worked,sent me to boost, we hung up and I tried going online, as soon as it tried connecting, it said updating prl, then updating profile, then the phone rebooted, and everything works.
just for the record, this is the sprint tp2, they will not activate a verizon or alltel one. I had mine running the stock rom, just experimenting earlier, I tried doing a ##786# reset in energy rom and it worked but then didn't reprovision, flashed the stock ruu and on boot up it did a profile update and connects fine again.
HELP!!!!
I have a TP2 running on Boost. As of yesterday the headset icon has become stuck and there no sound... I tried soft reset and hard reset - no dice. And now it keeps freezing.
I have another TP2 that has been sitting in a drawer, it was flashed to MetroPCS and had MightyRom. I upgraded the ROM to 6.5, so now it has the stock 6.5 ROM.
Now, my question - how can/do I get the Metro one switched over to Boost? I've been up over 24 hours trying to get this phone thing figured out. I'm a total noobie, so go easy on me (please)
Do I just call Boost and give them the ESN or do I need to doi something to get it back on Sprint first?
google and
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=126007
Already moved from the TP2 to the EVO, then I had to switch to verizon for signal issues and now have the Droid X2. I was just messing around with the old TP2 today trying to convert it over to T-Mobile. Everything was going good, everything was unlocked and ready to go. But, in me getting in a hurry, I flashed the regular t-mobile radio, not the unlocked one.
As of right now, I can't get the bootloader to come up at all. The orange light does light up when I plug it in to charge. Thats about it. Is there anything I can do before I trash it? I've read mulitiple thread on it, mtty, jtag, etc... but to no avail. Most of them were over a year old. Has any new options came up since then?
Any help would be greatly appeciated.
Thanx
Bootloader
Find the button combination for forcing the TP2 in to the bootloader. The flash with original carrier OEM or upgrade rom, may come back to life. If revived start over on flash and sim unlock to use T-Mobile.
