Flash ROM for CDMA Sprint Touch Pro

These steps only apply if you have a CDMA Touch Pro. These instructions WILL NOT WORK with a GSM Touch Pro.

Also, if you to return your phone for any reason, you will have to flash back to the stock ROM and relock the phone.

1. Preparation
   Backup your personal information, also make sure the phone has at least a 50% charge.
   
   
2. Unlock the phone
   Follow this guide. Make sure to use Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037.zip for Sprint Touch Pro. If you have a Verizon Touch Pro, use Verizon_HSPL_Package.zip.
   
   
3. Choose and download custom ROM
   Here is the list of popular custom ROMs.
   I am using the MightyROM by Mighty Mike. Note, the 'Herman' edition is for Touch Pro.
   Extract the ROM file to a desktop folder, which shall include two files:
   - RUU_signed.nbh
   - ROMUpdateUtility.exe
   
   
4. Power off the phone
   Holding the power button down until you get this message:

   “Power will be turned off, and you may lose data if you have not saved them. Do you want to continue?”

   Choose “Yes” and the phone will shut off.
   
   
5. Enter the bootloader mode
   Hold the down power and volume down button at the same time until you see the tri-color bootloader screen as below
   
   
   
   
6. Connect the phone to PC by USB cable
   You may see error message (failure connection) from ActiveSync, ignore this. As long as the display of connection method changes from 'Serial' to 'USB' (as in above figure), your phone is ready for flashing ROM.
   
   
7. Flash custom ROM
   Once you’ve got everything hooked up correctly, run the 'ROMUpdateUtility.exe' program inside of the ROM Utility Update folder. Follow the onscreen instructions to flash the custom ROM to your phone.
   Reboot your phone at the end and you’re finished.
   Enjoy the new custom ROM!
