Well I already have HardSPL on mine... do you have an idea if that unlocks CID to flash the unlocked radio? Do you have any hint for that?

not sure about the rhodium, but you can downgrade the spl on rhodiumw by just flashing an older shipped rom ruu. i had to do that on my rhod500 to get the so_hdspl to work.

thanks for posting it cajun

missing something?

Big thanks to cajunflavoredbob for providing this!
BUT, can someone help me figure out why this won't work for me?

Stock tp2 xv6875 verizon rho500 cdma (MR3)
Connect phone via activsync
Turned off virus protection
Ran the HSPL cajunflavoredbob attached
F enter, then Y enter, to the DOS window
Yes to the DLL shows up on phone screen
Phone reboots
DOS window sits at "press any key to continue"
Phone fully boots
Power down phone
Vol down + Power = bootloader still shows stock 0.72 bootloader :crying:

So I flashed to the shipped wm6.1 rom thinking the 0.63 bootloader may help.
But same result.

PC: Windows XP
Phone batt life 50%+

I've paid to flash 2 of 3 phones from olinex (2 tickets are still live in their support system). Since I had never received a response from them I was hoping my 4th could use this.

Thanks for your replies!

First, it's not my HSPL. It's a cracked version of the olinex one. They don't support the software anymore, so someone made this and passed it on to me. I've used it before with success. However, I do not provide support on it due to the nature of the tool. If it doesn't work, then I'm sorry, but there isn't anything I can do to help. All the instructions are in the readme file. I have no working knowledge of the tool beyond what it says in the readme. If the tool doesn't work, the only other surefire way to unlock is to pay for the olinex HSPL.

Cajunflavoredbob, I appreciate you replying. I intentionally did not want to PM you per your request. I was hoping someone else who had used what you posted could point out something I was doing wrong.
Anyone else tried cajunflavoredbob's attachment with success?

You are the very first person to have trouble with the cracked version that I'm aware of. Try it again on a different PC.

One clarification: after I hit F and then Y and the phone reboots, does it matter when I "Press any key to continue" on the DOS window? (immediately or after phone fully boots?) Or is that insignificant?

After trying a different computer 2 more times without success, I decided to put in my old sim card.
It worked on the 1st try! So it appears this requires a sim card for completion (even though this is the CDMA version).

I'm very happy that this worked; thanks again for posting cajunflavoredbob!

Weird since it worked fine for all the other CDMA users. Glad it worked.

    HSPL workaround

    DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THIS

    Sorry to Olipro and cmonex, but you guys haven't been around to support this software. Report this if anyone wants to. I'm tired of getting PMs to support someone else's software. If this post needs to be removed, then so be it.

    What I'm posting here is basically a cracked version of the OliNex HSPL. Follow the instructions in the zip after you extract it. I take no responsibility for it, nor will I support it. This is for all Rhodium models including both GSM and CDMA models.

    DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THIS

    ****:D*Hard-SPL Release Time!!!!*:D****



    NOTE: This is *NOT* a SIM UNLOCKER, nor does it security unlock for
    other radios. If you need that,
    GO HERE
    This Hard-SPL unlocker will allow you to install a custom Rom cooked by the many fine chef's here on XDA.



    *IF YOU ARE ON SPRINT, VERIZON, TELUS, OR ANOTHER CDMA CARRIER, DO NOT
    USE THIS TOOL. THIS TOOL IS FOR GSM ONLY. FOR CDMA GO HERE.


    People with a CDMA device trying to run this GSM tool will get a sync
    error, because the package is not compatible.*


    Please read the FAQ page if you do not understand what a Hard-SPL is
    Flashing your First Rom (For Noobs) - Please Click here



    *Important:* Each user gets 1 license. You may get 2-3 on request if
    needed and if you have replaced your device after a warranty issue. The licenses are valid forever, and all this works as
    transparently as possible, so it won't be a problem. Businesses who need
    to unlock more devices than that, can purchase it.
    talk to cmonex or use http://support.htc-unlocks.com if you want to discuss
    bulk unlocking.

    You can send a request for 1-2 more devices for private user (free) at
    http://support.htc-unlocks.com (ONLY at this link, not in PM).
    Make sure your are selecting the correct help request, <----this is important!!!

    *Preparations*

    * This tool is for Rhodium (Touch Pro 2).
    * If you have Vista or Windows 7, WMDC update to at least version
    6.1 ->
    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx


    ***First: Beware that your Anti-Virus protection ***may Cause a issue with the downloading process and installation of this Hard-SPL***
    If it does , disable it, then proceed with the download and installation of the Hard-SPL, Again This Hard-SPL download is not a Virus...

    Next insure you have at least 50% battery left and also disable your screen saver...DO NOT RUN any other programs while this operation is Running.

    *Instructions*

    * Download Hard-SPL tool from the attached file below
    * Extract it to an empty folder.
    * Connect the device to the PC with a USB cable.*** Do not Disconnect !!!
    * Sync the device with WMDC or ActiveSync.
    * Make sure the cellular radio is on with a data connection, because
    Internet access is required as the program checks online for
    updates and the license.
    * Run Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe on the PC. It must be launched
    from a local drive, not a network location. XP requires
    Administrator privileges. Vista/Windows 7 should automatically
    prompt you to allow it to run in Administrator mode. Allow it to
    do so. If it doesn't, right click and select "Run as
    Administrator.

    " If you get an anti-virus warning, please ignore
    it. It contains no harmful code. This false positive is due to a
    packer being used to compress it.


    * 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 should
    select Automatic flash mode (the first button in Welcome screen).
    * It will ask you to wait while it prepares for the flashing; press OK.
    * 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 thread, but this should not ever occur as this means a fatal
    error occurred.
    * At this point the device did hopefully went to a black screen
    reporting version as 1.10.C-SSPL only using "info 7" in mtty, this
    is the SSPL version, which is temporary. The RUU will then
    instantly launch.
    * SPL will now flash. The device will automatically reboot. Job done.
    * To confirm you have installed properly, go into bootloader mode
    (Reset the device while holding the volume down button), and
    verify the screen shows 0.85.OliNex, which is the Hard-SPL version.


    *Side-notes:*


    * You should generally go for Automatic flash mode. The Manual flash
    option is only to be used as noted below. You must only attempt
    the Manual mode option if Automatic flash mode or SSPL-Manual.exe
    already put device in black screen. Any other errors triggered
    while running in Autoflash mode will need to be fixed as
    instructed in the error message.

    * If you get an error message for the Hard-SPL program that says it
    cannot connect to the device, then use the cab file that the
    Hard-SPL program asks you to install on device.

    * Once you install the cab on the device, rerun the Hard-SPL
    program. DO NOT freak out as your device appears to completely
    power off. Leave the USB cable plugged into device and computer
    and follow onscreen prompts.

    * When the RUU says it will hard reset, don't worry. It isn't going
    to do that. Also, when it says the flash will take 10 minutes,
    ignore that. It will only take a minute or so.

    * This is unsigned Hard-SPL. No limitations on flashing ROMs (except
    of course some Radios). Also, this has overwrite protection
    against HTC RUU's overwriting Hard-SPL with a stock one. This
    means that if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty
    reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package is required and is posted
    as an attachment below. Use this relocker **ONLY** if you need to
    return the phone for warranty, and **ONLY** use it as the last
    step after reflashing stock OS and radio. See steps at the end of
    this post about how to reflash stock SPL.

    * Anyone having USB problems with the device after it entered SSPL
    mode, please copy SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe from
    SSPL-Manual-Rhodiumxxx.zip attachment in this post, copy it to the
    device and run it. then once the screen has gone black, run the
    Hard-SPL package on the PC and you must select Manual flash
    option. **important*:* make sure that the USB cable is plugged in
    and device is synced to Windows Mobile even if doing manual method.
    * Do not use this RUU for anything other than SPL flashing (i.e.
    hardspl or stock spl restore). Nothing other than SPL's made by
    Olinex team, using OliNex custom cert, which is not public, will
    flash to make SSPL more secure. If you want to flash some other
    ROM, then use the shipped RUU or Rhodium customRUU.
    * For developers asking: Hard-SPL is not based on MFG SPL, as it can
    only be used for development and hacking, contact cmonex in PM if
    you need that one.

    * Supported OS versions: both 32-bit and 64-bit XP, Vista, Windows 7
    and later. Windows 2000 and lower were not tested. Also, the
    program may be unstable or not work on Virtual systems, so it's
    recommended to try outside Virtual OS software. Also,to verify the
    version: if Hard-SPL package says V200R in first Welcome dialog
    title and version 2.00 in About box, it is the latest version, not
    some crappy beta/old version.


    *Troubleshooting* and *Step by Step on reflashing stock SPL* are in next
    post below! Please take the time to read them, they could help keep you from banging your head on the keyboard and saying "Why is this not working!!!" :eek::D



    *credits*

    First, "OliNex" is a team which means: cmonex + Olipro
    Olipro -> Concept of EXE program that runs on the PC, Hard-SPL concept,
    server-side license code and maintaining the licenses.
    cmonex -> HSPL package on PC, SSPL loader for windows mobile and SSPL
    binary. Hard-SPL binary. (SSPL loader: partially based on haret and old
    pof & Olipro jumpspl code)

    *Donations are always appreciated, the Hard-SPL program will provide you
    with a link at the end of the process to make it easier. Any little bit
    helps! Thank you and enjoy!*

    *_Troubleshooting FAQ_*

    If you are having problems, make certain that you've read the information in the first post.


    My antivirus software reports this is a virus. What gives?
    This program contains no harmful code. It was compiled using a packer, so it may be incorrectly reported as a virus by some software. Simply disable the anti-virus software and try again.


    I get the FATAL ERROR that "HardSPL is for NON Commercial purposes...." What do I do?
    To fix this, please contact us at the http://support.htc-unlocks.com link (our support ticket system) and use the *Rhodium Hard-SPL* category! Alternatively, you can send a donation, this is optional if for personal use.


    Why doesn't this work even when I've already donated?
    If you donated in Manual mode, you didn't enter an IMEI or it was mistyped. If you donate in Automatic mode, that will always work as long as the error message was about the commercial usage. To fix this, please contact us at the http://support.htc-unlocks.com ticket system link and use *Rhodium HardSPL - Paying* category!


    I get sync issues/a sync error text while running the program.
    Check to make sure the phone is NOT in flight mode. Next, try installing http://hpcmonex.net/roms/enablerapinew.cab on the phone. If still same error, disable your firewall temporarily (e.g. ZoneAlarm or Sygate can interfere sometimes). Check the phone screen for any error messages, that can cause a sync error too (such as incompatible model message).


    The enablerapinew.cab file cannot be installed on the phone.
    Do not extract the CAB file on the PC, copy it to the phone without unzipping it.


    I followed the instructions, but nothing happened. It didn't enter the black screen mode.
    First make sure the box is unchecked at Start > Settings > Connections > USBtoPC > Enable faster data synchronization. Make sure you've used Automatic flash mode before to put the device in SSPL. If you hard reset your device, you have to repeat Automatic flash mode at least once. Please make sure you watch the device screen during the Hard SPL process to see if it asks about running files. It probably won't, but just in case, check. For example it can warn about model incompatibility.


    The program gives me a connection error during the process.
    DO NOT UNPLUG THE USB CABLE. If you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to the black SSPL screen, make sure device was still synced via USB to the PC at the point of it entering SSPL (the black screen). It may take some time for the program to see the device again. If it doesn't, you need to wait for it to time out or wait about five minutes, whichever is first. Then, leave the USB cable plugged in and press the reset button with your stylus and start over.


    The program gives me ERROR 260 CONNECTION message. What do I do?
    DO NOT TRY TO FLASH THROUGH A USB HUB. Disable your anti-virus software for the duration of the flash. If that doesn't help, reboot the PC. Then try a different USB port on the PC. If that doesn't work, try a different USB cable, if you have one (original HTC cable is the best). Make sure you don't move the cable around while it is flashing. If this does not help, download SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe from the first post, copy it to your device, and run it. Once the screen goes black, run Hard SPL package on the PC and select Manual Flash.


    The device shuts off.
    It didn't actually shut off, this is the "black screen" mode, it is ready to flash Hard-SPL at this point, do not worry about the sync getting lost, just continue with the next step on the PC.


    The program says it's for a different model or mine isn't supported.
    If a message on the phone screen says it's for a different model or device, please check modelID by entering SPL tricolour screen manually, and note what it says for RHODxxx, where xxx is a three-digit number.
    T-Mobile, AT&T phones, RHOD100, RHOD200, RHOD210, RHOD300, or variants of these are supported by this package. RHOD400, RHOD500, and variants are CDMA versions and are *not* supported by this package.


    My device says that Enterbootloader.exe failed to run due to missing component or corrupt signature.
    You'll need to do a hard reset to fix this issue. Turn off the device, and hold talk/send, and end buttons while pressing the reset button once. Release the buttons when the device asks you to confirm the hard reset and press volume up to confirm. Note that a hard reset will factory reset your device and return it to its original shipped condition. You should back up your programs and data before doing this as it will all be gone after the hard reset.


    My PC gives me a RAPI.dll error message.
    This happens on Windows 7 with versions of Windows Mobile Device Center. To fix it, download and install the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Center.


    I get an error message that says the server is down.
    First of all, do not use a proxy as the program doesn't support it. Turn off all firewalls including windows built-in firewall, and check if your AV software includes firewalls. Most companies have firewalls on their networks; try this when you get home. Don't tether to the phone being unlocked. Wait 24-48 hours and try again. If it still doesn't work, contact us at http://support.htc-unlocks.com.


    I get a corrupt data error message.
    Download the Hard SPL package again from the first post of this thread, to be sure you have the latest version intact. Sometimes the download may cut off part ways. Try with a different Internet connection if that doesn't work. If you still have trouble, contact us at http://support.htc-unlocks.com.


    The program just crashes and doesn't give me an error message.
    Check to see if you have DEP (data execution prevention) enabled in windows. If you do, disable it. Turn off your anti-virus software for the duration of the flash. Sometimes Windows 7 x64 gives problems, try it from a different PC. Virtual PC software is not supported.


    When trying to run the program, Windows says it cannot access the path or file.
    Disable all antivirus software. Make sure you extract the EXE from the ZIP file before running it. Don't try to run it from a network folder.


    The device reboots instead of going into the SSPL screen (black screen).
    While this is unlikely to ever happen, if it does, contact cmonex.


    My problem still isn't fixed, or I can't find my problem here
    Post in the thread. There are several users who monitor this thread and can help you with your problem. To make it easier for the users to help you, please provide as much information as you possibly can. This can include things like your PC operating system, antivirus software, or anything else that might help us figure out your problem. You should also quote any error message texts you are getting.






    How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

    1. Flash the Stock ROM. If the stock radio isn't included, flash that as well. This must be completed first.
    2. Download the Relocker attachment, extract the zip and run the EXE on your PC.
    3. If you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary. This Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL signed by our custom cert. The included one is the 0.79.0000 stock SPL. You also have the option for 0.84.0000 and 0.87.0000.
    4. Flash the SPL.
    5. Verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 0.79.0000 (or 0.84.0000 or 0.87.0000), *not 0.85.OliNex*.[/QUOTE]

    Sorry to Olipro and cmonex, but you guys haven't been around to support this software. Report this if anyone wants to. I'm tired of getting PMs to support someone else's software. If this post needs to be removed, then so be it.

    What I'm posting here is basically a cracked version of the OliNex HSPL. Follow the instructions in the zip after you extract it. I take no responsibility for it, nor will I support it. This is for all Rhodium models including both GSM and CDMA models.

    DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THIS
    I confirm that this is the OliNex HSPL loaded in a different way that bypasses the internet check. Please note that this fine isn't a virus, even if your AV software may tell you otherwise.

    Oh, ok so I should still go for the Automatic one?
    The manual would require that I run the Manual file on the HTC right, and this will not work.

    ---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------



    So no dice, checked or unchecked the automatic one only tells me that I have used it too many times, I try to use the automatic one twice in a row. With no internet connection it asks me to try again in 5 mins, so I need to be connected.

    Manual SPL will only take me until the flashing starts, and since I am not able to run the manual file on the HTC ( it just freezes ), this is where I am stuck

    Any last resort?

    We've exhausted all possible solutions to the provided tool.
