Ok so I bought a lg tribute 2 back when they had just came out I believe they had only been on the market for 4 days or something..... anywho I was reading up on rooting phones and I wanted to do it.... but first I used my husbands phone as a test pig which he had a s3 and what do you know I did it right the first time I used odin.....then it was my turn and what do you know I did it! But the problem was even tho I read about 100 different articles about rooting phones not one told me what to do after I rooted my phone.... my husband told me I needed to download a recovery something so I tried all the ones he told me aboutand none of them supported the tribute 2 so long stoyshort I turned the phone off and when I tried to turn it back on its like stuck in a bootloop I dont know how but qfter I turned it off I dont know if it factory reset or not but its taking me thru the whole first timensetup thing but when I get to the wifi part where u sign in it tells me it cant sing in to the same internet im using right now qnd if I hit skip the screen like blinks and its at the same damn spot .... im so done with this phone can anyone help me but plz know i do not know anything qbout anyof this stuff so plz put it in lamest terms....
Oh and please if u r going to be ugly dont even bother commenting thanks
Oh one more thing the phone remebers my wifi password and itsays its connected but I nce I click nextitsays couldn't connect to internet and then a second box comes up and says internet unavailable with buddy ( name that shows up in wireless networks.)
If you're ok with your data being deleted, I'd just do a factory reset yourself so that hopefully it might fix whatever broke, otherwise I'd just restore my working backup.
I believe the tribute 2 is Volume down and power to turn it on and get to the factory reset.

Hi guys, first of all I just want to say thank you for this forum.. I ran into it a while back and was inspired to buy a kaiser just because of you guys. I have an iphone right now and I really want to replace it with something that has i don't know user accessible memory, MS office, GPS and the list goes on so I bout an At&t 8925, I got a good price on it and was very happy to finally able to get rid of the iphone
anyway I received the phone a few days ago and proceeded to do a sim unlock to use it with t-mobile after playing with it for a little while, I have already read the wiki, and lot of posts and searches..
I dnloaded this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375583 and plugged in the phone made sure activesynk connected and flollowed the instructions...
It went through the first step (hard spl) without a problem and I think the second step went well also. After that I begain the third step and the program froze, I waited for almost an hour just to be sure (windows also said it was 'not responding') I finally had no choice but to restart my computer, (its vista)
Anyway I pressed the power button on the phone and the phone acts like its booting up, I see the at&t screen, then it goes to the 3g screen and It just goes to a blank, black screen. I am still able to connect it to my computer and access the phone. I can access the 'boot loader' red blue green screen
I did a soft reset and tried to reload the unlocker porgram but nothing happens, I am stuck and I havent found out what to do through my searches can you guys help me out I am really new to this phone
I even took the time to downgrade my computer from vista to XP (finding all my drivers was a ***** since my computer was shipped with vista) but I found them one by one and still no luck loading the unlocker
one thing I did notice was that the bootloader screen now says "security unlocked" on top, not sure if It did that before
Thanks for all the help
Thanks
all you have to do to fix your phone is flash a new rom onto it. just open the boot loader and run the ruu and it should fix the problem
that's because you need to install a wm6.1 rom on your phone to use this unlocker. you would have found the answer if you read the thread

hence why I wrote a message box on Step 2 stating "you may need to upgrade your phone to WM6.1"
****ing idiots.

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.

Good job!
big thanks for solution.
You just saved my life!!!
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.

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

please help
i have the same problem. is there a way to save my phone?
Hey guys I was messing around with my Zio m6000 which I got recently but was unable to find software recovery mode even though I tried all possible button combos. (FYI I have up down volume rockers a send key a camera key and an on off /cancel button) my home button is screen/software touch Dependant.
I recently rooted it and decided I would make a backup image. I used clockworks free app to try to create a backup image. I selected a phone model close to my phone specs because my phone model is new it didn't have it as a choice. the phone rebooted.
That is it. There is no recovery image yet and I am unable to get passed the kyocera boot screen.
I can access 2 things:
1. is a blue screen which says "Modem download mode !!" when I plug that in via usb it says on my pc "kyocera Diagnostics interface (COM9)"
2. fastboot mode.
I have done a couple google searches but to no avail. I am wondering if there is some way to load recovery mode or to perform a factory reset Via USB or SD card or using some SDK commands?...
help me out here guys

Are you kidding? I sure hope you're kidding. You're not supposed to Flash a ClockWork Recovery Image to your phone if it isn't meant for your phone... come on. That's basic. But on the good side, I'm sure if you FastBoot Flash something you should be able to get it to load. You gots the uhm, BootLoader working?
BTW - How is that phone? I was considering it, but it looks kinda crappy (no offense?)
I cant seem to get to a boot loader. The last time I tried it via some software it factory reset my phone. The only thing I can think of is that they have tried to make it hard for modders. not to say its impossible but just hard.
in my defence about the backup, First off I was just trying to back up my phone.. I had good intentions. 2ndly I didn't think the profile mattered because I thought I was just going to make an image of MY phone by doing it.
This good news you speak of, I hope we can get to it without a boot loader :I
The phone is decent however it can be a bit sluggish at times and the CDMA network only works in the carrier browser and not for apps ect. The GPS works well and is solid. Battery life is decent when im not using it otherwise I can use the web on the phone via Wifi for about 3 hours before it goes dead Disappointing.
Thanks for the reply and please if anyone has any ideas let me know.

Hmm, care to share the details on how you can root the Zio?
Sure anyone who can help me fix my phone will find out.
::Bump:: Im still needing some help on this guys. Help me out please?
Path0z
Well guys at the end of my rope here with my phone so I gave it to my gf to play with the buttons for a bit.... she actually figured out how to get it to boot! up button and power button loaded a blue screen that flickered and and went to the carrier screen and booted... all my settings are saved phone is still rooted Woot!
I have actually been looking how to get into recovery mode JUST because I didn't have anything to do and was searching for Zio stuff, and it brought me here lol.
Power + Up...
At least you posted this on the forum.
I'm really hoping that more people pick up the Zio.
I would hate to be the only one interested in tinkering with the phone.
Just a case of being a little too late lol.
Glad you found the fix though.
Good Luck
If you don't mind me asking, what did you use to backup your phone?
I am pretty new to the Android scene (Not new to phone hacking but I'm new to Android) and I know that some applications will work and some wont.
I want to make a proper backup before I start messing around with things I know nothing about.
Okay a little clarification / interesting news...
1. Power + up button worked 1 time to let me boot my phone... I tried to restart my phone to test and see if I could still use my phone and it will not get past the Kyocera screen again.
2. Power + up does not boot the phone to any type of menu or recovery mode it only downloads modem data over the air,
so guess what?
3. After using power + up I apparently switched my phone to some type of Verizon pre paid phone which could not call out or receive calls. Wifi still worked and all my apps / data was still there.
4. I am going to have to replace my phone and not make the same mistake again.
5. I have documented this whole process and will be releasing a guide after I can get my new phone going. A guide to rooting and backing it up after I successfully back it up.
6. The program that I used was clockworks recovery free but the problem is they do not have the Kyocera Zio m6000 phone model! DO NOT USE CLOCKWORKS RECOVERY UNTILL HE HAS YOUR PHONE MODEL! You will be right where I am.
I’m going to try a couple more things before I break down and get a new phone...
I will keep you all posted.

Yeah man, those recovery images are phone specific apparently so I would imagine it could do some bad things to let one rip. Maybe shoot [email protected] an email?
I did the same thing, I figured out the way to boot it up but now I am on a verizon network, like the op. I am going to call Cricket customer support and see what they can do.
EDIT: Here is the fix
Go to Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Networks and choose home only. Now exit and open the Dialer and press*228 send and let the phone program.
EDIT 2 : Ok well this gets the phone working but does not restore Mobile Web/Data services. Returned phone to cricket and had it replaced free of charge
I am facing the EXACT same issue. I cant get it to boot for the life of me. Its stuck with Kyocera/Modem mode/ or fast boot and thats it. It's just driving me insane. Clockworks free did this to me too
This phone is OVER!
so after having many problems with this phone and the many replacements I just got the HUAWEI Ascend! Its tons better! many of the problems i had with Zio are totally solved by swapping it to the Ascend. I recommend to anyone thinking about Zio, Save your money and buy an Ascend!
Dont even buy the replacement phone for the zio if you have the chance! A replacement costs 80 bucks if you upgrade to the Ascend its $120. Well worth the money in my case.

sorry for the bad grammer
i don't i'll be able to help in this, but for others to help, you need to mention your phone details
First im not sure if im posting in the right spot. if im not please let me know via message and move if needed. Anyway here is goes.
Ok so a little background on whats going on.My phone is a SCH-R530X.. (Note the X. Its the generic version) CDMA on MobileNation... I was in the Service Mode on my galaxy and layed it down on the table. My son picks it up and starts pushing things on it. When I got back I had no service what so ever. It wouldn't connect to a tower at all. After going through the service menu tring to figure out what he changed with no luck, I flashed using Kies. No luck with that. I did some research on it and tried a few things. Finely after failed attempts, I ran across the ##786# that is a return feature that basically dumped some things and restored it to factory. After doing that I finely got service back but no internet or 3g icon that is usually there.. I have tried restoring it, doing *228 activation with no luck. Something got messed up and will not let my internet... I'm good when it comes to doing things like codes settings and flashing so i know how to do that. I just dont know at this point what to do and im asking for help here in hopes to get it back to normal. I also forgot to mention that i took it to the phone company and the 2 people i talk to there didn't know nothing when it come to it. The first time i took it up there it was not working at all and he said he tried everything and that hes sure it was service bricked. Then after i did the ##786# thing i took it back to him to see if they could get the internet going. He was like, I wish i knew what you did to fix that part of the service cause i tried everything and bla bla...... The only thing they know how to do is activate them and dont know crap when it comes to troubleshooting.... Anyway please help.....
There use to be firmware here for it but i see its gone from this site. If i could try maybe reflashing as much as i could i would but i cant find the right firmware for the phone.
