HTC Rhodium (Touch Pro 2/TP2) Hard SPL CDMA (Sprint/Verizon/Telus) Flash Unlock – RELEASED!

FLASH THIS HARD-SPL AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Thanks to cmonex and the Rhodium Elite Team you can now unlock your CDMA Touch Pro! This means you can now flash to any ROM you desire! This has been highly anticipated by the PPCGeeks and XDA-Developers communities as well as by thousands of other proud Touch Pro 2 owners.

Due to many people unlocking multiple devices, to unlock you will be required to have a license. It is easy to acquire, but only one per person. Do not attempt to unlock your GSM touch pro, as this will brick your device!

How to unlock your Touch Pro 2

Steps:
1) Download newest RhodiumW Hard-SPL package and extract this to an empty folder.
2) You must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!!! the device needs to be connected to Activesync or WMDC via USB cable. and it must not be in Flight/Airplane mode (i.e. the phone part should be on).
3) Internet access is required as the program checks online for updates and for the license.
4) Run Rhodium-HardSPL.exe on your PC, make sure it’s launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.). running it on XP requires Admin logon, and Vista/Windows 7 will automatically prompt to allow it to run in Admin mode, so allow it please.
important: if you get an antivirus warning, please ignore it, it contains no harmful code (just used a packer to compress it). if you encounter DEP errors, then add it to the exception list in DEP settings.
5) Follow steps as prompted in the Hard-SPL program. if this is the first run of Hard-SPL on a device after hard reset, you must select Automatic flash mode (the first button in Welcome screen).
notes: you should usually go for Automatic flash mode; the Manual flash option is only to be used as noted below – any other errors triggered while running in Autoflash mode will have to be fixed as instructed in the error message.
6) It will ask you to wait while it prepares for the flashing, press OK.
7) Now it should go through without any error messages, if one does pop up, then please follow the instructions included in the error text. if no specific instruction is shown, then ask for help in the forums, but this should not ever occur (as this means a really fatal error occurred).
at this point the device did hopefully went to a black screen. this is the SSPL version, which is temporary. then RUU (Rom Update Utility) will instantly launch.
9) Some notes: when RUU says it will perform a hard reset and cause data loss, do not worry, it is not going to do this. also when it says the flash will take 10 minutes, ignore that, it will only take a minute or so.
10) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
11) To confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 1.00.OliNex, which is the current Hard-SPL version.

The Hard-SPL was released 10/30/2009! The TP2 Community appreciates all of the hard work put into creating this! Thanks!
