if i flashed a gsm radio on a cdma? jus curious cuz i did that
Get your operators ship rom, then flash it via SD card. Reflash HardSPL and then flash a CDMA rom.
Oh dear. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember when someone has done that before, the phone was bricked (i.e. flashing the wrong radio, not just the wrong ROM). I do hope I'm wrong.

He said "cuz I did that", i.e. he *did* flash a GSM radio onto a CDMA device.
Suppose, but I would of expected a n00b to of posted something more like
"HELP!!!!
I flashed a sprint radio to my Tmo TP2 and now it wont turn on
PLZ PLZ PLZ HLP ME!"
he seemed rather calm
thanx for posting, well i thought i broke my phone a couple of days ago prior to this bcuz my phone turned off out of nowhere and wouldn't come back on even after being charged for an hr. then it turned on a couple hrs later when trying again. (dont ask me how bcuz Ive never had this problem before) and yes i did flash the wrong radio so im done for right? the reason why im being calm is cuz i thought i was gonna have to replace my phone in the first place. i was hopefully wishing on the inside for a miracle

Well, unless someone comes forward and says otherwise, I'm sorry to say yes, I think you're done. In the past one or two people have posted up a similar scenario and I don't recall them posting to say they fixed it.
It might cost you less than replacing your phone if you pay for your phone to be repaired.
Well possibly not. IF you can still get into bootloader (hold the volume down button when powering on or if device is already on hold down volume down and softreset) first LOOK AT THIS TASK 29 POST HERE BUT DONT DO ANYTHING YET!:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191
Make sure to download the file provided, extract it to wherever.
Now goto this post here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=90342
and download the correct radio for your provider.
Replace the NBH file from the TASK 29 threads package you extracted with the one from your provider.
Run the task29 as instructed.
Once its done it wont boot into a rom you need to go back into bootloader like I told you how before (Volume down and reset) now find your providers stock rom from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91940
and flash that rom to your phone. Hopefully this will resolve your issue, best of luck to ya mate.
To anyone ready to post disagreeing: Please dont post up saying about task29 and saying it wont work and stuff, I have fixed two worldphone this way because the owners did exactly what he did, in the way I described here.
thanx aestivalisakito im willing to try what your taking about. have a couple of questions tho. its not that im making it go into bootloader. when i hit power it goes str8 to it. could that be a problem for this fix?
my screen sticks at the multi colored screen with writting in the background saying" code error please try again".and i noticed that, one time while powering on b4 getting stuck. it, for a split sec. try to go to the grey screen to flash and says "loading No image found" then back to multi colored screen. does this help any?
also can i use task29 thru sd card?
thanx for your help

Ahh it appears you weren't that clear. If you get into the multi-coloured screen, you are at bootloader. Download a rom from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/Shipped_Roms to get your original shipping rom. Once you have done this, put the nbh on the sdcard named as rhodimg.nbh. Reboot back into bootloader mode. This should then get you able to flash the device with all the proper stuff.
Make sure to get the one for YOUR original provider.
thanx i got it fixed. someone helped me on another forum with the same solution and it worked thanx for ur reply

Get it into bootloader and flash your carrier's official rom
Also, see that in WM6 you must use only ActiveSync 4.5 or higher
Ask if you need help, I will be here for couple of hours and there are others who know way more than me and also can help
ill try it sir!
currently downloading .exe from htc site. dude is that an installer? do i need to flash it using other programs or not? thanks!
oh btw! i just used activesync 4.2 i am also want to upgrade my cingular 8125 to wm6 xplore1.1.. just like yours.. what steps i shall do? can u help me?
Read the wiki on how to unbrick your phone
NOTE: And don't double post
sorry sir, i just dont know what to do
anyone please help me
Get the rgb boot loader screen on by holding down camera while you reset. Then connect via usb to the pc. You will see the word " usb " appear on the bottom of the screen on your phone.
Run the exe you downloaded from your manufacturer / carriers website and it will install the stock rom.
Phone will reboot when finished.
Hey presto.

for starters wrong thread .. secondly problem could have been completely avoided if you did the basic reading i.e. first hardspl .. if white screen than follow thread on white screen fix .. got hardspl? flash rom ... simple as that.
now u need help .. and instead of posting under the right thread you create a new redundant thread asking about a problem that quite a few people run into. in order for us to help we need info from your phone .. what does bootloader say? can u boot to operating system?

Ok...so my tp2 is verizon and I did the whole hardspl thing and somehow got the energyrom leo on my fone, and then wen i tried to update to the new sense 2.1 extreme rom, i dont know wat happened. It said to use this custom ruu thing which i clicked on, and wen it updated my fone, my fone does absolutely nothing now cept loading the start screen where it says Touch pro2
I new something was wrong becus at no point was the .nbh that i extracted used, but no ruu came with the file that i downloaded...sighhh so is my fone dead or wat? I tried hard resetting, and although i am able to get to the hard reset page, wen i actually do it, it still just freezes where touch pro2 screen comes out
dont trip
i've 'bricked' most of my phones i've played with at least once. If your getting anything your ok - go to boot loader mode, reflash the original rom on it, then the one you want. Make sure your battery has a good charge also ^^

Failed flashing with CustomRUU.exe
Every flash has failed (freezes at "Touch Pro2" boot screen) when I tried to use a ROM that uses CustomRUU.exe (Miri, Cell_Pro, Athine, AF, Shadowline, and others). Flashing ROMs that use ROMUpdateUtility.exe already extracted flash fine. I've even tried first flash the original Sprint stock ROM and then flashing a "CustomRUU" ROM but without success. I've also extracted the files from the CustomRUU.exe and then run it with the nbh file but that doesn't work either. HTC Touch Pro2 (Sprint)
Any suggestions?

You're flashing CDMA ROMs, right? Not the GSM only ones found here, but CDMA ones from elsewhere, like here? Try flashing one of the CDMA ROMs found at the second link, and see if that works, because I think you may be flashing GSM ROMs onto your CDMA device, which would explain why it flashes, but doesn't boot properly. Hope that helps

Apparently, I was flashing a GSM ROM. There really should be better indication of what the ROM is designed for than simply being in a particular form. It wouldn't be any trouble to add a few characters (GSM/CDMA) to the file name to make it clear.
Thanks!
My Verizon tp2 is stuck on the TOUCH pro2 screen when it tries to boot.. It will not hard or soft reset. So it's not being recognized by my pc to do the hardspl thing. I was trying to flash the perfectblack rom but it said it was not for my device...so i tried Energy rom.. it flashed but will not boot.. please help...how do i fix this.
Well...I took it back to Verizon...they are sending me another one. Have to figure out what I did wrong because I truly wanted to try a cooked rom or two.
Back to the drawing board.

Wait, you are sending Verizon your phone with a non-booting cooked ROM and the HSPL on it?!?
If they figure that out, there's a good chance you'll be SOL.

Exactly. Even if you have insurance on the TP2, if you sent it back with anything that is not stock, your insurance is probably voided, they probably wont give you your phone back, and you might even have to pay full price for a new one. Good luck man. Definitely should have held out for some responses before you sent it out. If you haven't then that's good, but if you did, your probably out of luck.

Why didn't you try what the orginal poster did?
I loaded a GSM rom on my Sprint TP2, I wasn't paying attention to the orginal
Post and just thought oh.. I want this rom..
What I did,
Turn on the device while holding down the Power button and the Volume Down key. If you see Serial and 3-4 colored bars plug in your USB, and reflash with a CDMA Rom.
This fixed my Phone. Credits to the gurus at PPC Geeks. if i find the topic later I'll post it.

THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO BREAK FORUM RULES.
This thread has now been reported, and hopefully, it will be closed before someone goes against their better judgment and helps you.
If you want an answer, have patience and check back in the Q&A. Or, post in the relevant ROM thread. Or, search. Or, don't perform procedures on your buddy's phone if you don't know what you're doing. But DO NOT post in here when you KNOW it's a violation of the rules.
these guys are crawling out all over the place today....feel bad to be a mod today..lol...
you need to slow down friend and reread everything you need to and start from step 1.
If I were a mod, I would've taken the day off. It sounds bricked to me if you can't even get into fastboot. You should've done the one click root.

Ok anyone. Mods are getting really angry with all these post. Ur probaly gonna get banned for posting in this section. Anyway u probaly didn't follow directions. You flashed the spl before u did the radio and got bricked I guess. If u can't get into the bootloader by pressing camera + power or recovery home + power. You are brick. See you in 3 days after ur banned. You should have search first

I did search in the general forum. If one of the mods can move this, then it'd be fine.
As for fastboot or recovery, I can not get to it. My mistake for putting both phones on the table. Seems like the Radio was flashed and I know the radios are not the same and if the radio does not boot, the rest of the phone will not boot so... I may have to send it in... Just wondering if there are other ways around this issue.

*Clap*
tooshort.
It's all simple really. I have an ion and rogers magic. I decided to mess with the new images and I was screwing around with the ion initially. I put it down, went away to work on something else, picked up magic, thinking it was the ion and flashed the ion rom to it. Yeah noob mistake from my part on that one. So the phone boot into the boot screen (mine says HTC, normally it would be Rogers) and stays there. As soon as I did that I realized that I screwd up the ROMs. If I recall correctly, Radio boots first, then the ROM and so on and such... Radio boots into 32A radio, 32B Ion Rom looks for 32B radio, does not see it, gets stuck...
I sent it into HTC repair in TX. They'll send me another one in a about 10 days pretty much is what I was told. Oh well. Don't put 2 phones that look very much alike next to each other and better yet, flash the boot screens differently.
