Hi

I am new here and will soon be getting my Telus HTC TP2 and unlocking it myself via mobileincanada.com i had a couple of questions:

will i have any trouble unlocking?

i am buying it used so do i have to clear the ESN before i can use it? or what should i know about the ESN?

can i install the apps, .cab files found in the other section? or do i have to find CDMA only apps? Do apps work for both GSM and CDMA?

can i reset to factory defaults from settings to eliminate the previous owners info and data? or is there a button key combination?

is there a way to make Opera the default browser on the Internet tab?

is there a way to apply a diferent theme without installing a different ROM (since i've read we cannot do that yet for CDMA)?

is there anything else i should know as a new owner/user?

this is all i can think of for the moment. any and all help is much appreciated

thanks!

1) CDMA TP2's cannot be unlocked as of yet, I know that the community is working diligently on it.

2)You can't "clear" the ESN, it's the electronic serial number unique to each phone, it's kinda strange that you're able to find one used already, what you should check to see is if the phone was reported stolen, so basically you need to call your carrier and check to see if you will be able to activate that phone on their network.

Here's a relate post on another forum (mostly regarding a sprint phone but same idea)

http://cellphoneforums.net/sprint-pcs/t224073-how-clear-sprint-esn.html

3)You can install just about any app you want as long as it's compatible or signed *scratches head* I think there's a tweak cab file on ppc geeks that enables unsigned apps here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=78019

4)Yes, not sure what the button combo is for sprint but for my verizon tp2 it's

-make sure the phone is OFF

-hold the "volume down" (the button on the side with the "-" on it) AND the send key (green button)

-While holding said buttons, press the power on button (red button) and follow the onscreen prompts.

5)It already is.

6)You can always disable Touch Flo 3D from the Today options or even install SPB Mobile Shell (I think that's what it's called) for a different theme, but if you're just talking about normal windows mobile 6.1 today themes, just disable Touch Flo 3D from the today menu in your options screen (All settings) and install themes you normally would as with any other version of WinMo 6.1

7) Phone works best with a good data plan and just like any other windows mobile device, expect to do a soft-reset every other day. And be ready for people asking you if you got a new type of iphone or that IS an iphone or if your phone has anything to do with the iphone.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ktanriverdi:
thanks for your quick reply however i do know for a fact that TELUS TP2's can be unlocked i just happened to come across one person who had difficulty. that's why i was asking.

actually here this is the people that do the unlocking and they have a video on there. if you pause at the right time you can see the IMEI which is strange to me since i though CDMA phones were supposed to have ESN.

Click here for the site that unlocks the TELUS TP2 and the video where you can see the IMEI and unlocking demonstration. its a youtube video but make sure you have the plugins or use an appropriate browser or something because i couldnt see it on IE but i could with Chrome.

actually looking at the video again there are 4 numbers titled:

IMEI

WEID (first letter a little hard to make out)

S/N (is this the ESN?)

P/N

im attaching a screenshot.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] shawnwaugh:
Hi subby! I think what's tripping people up is your use of the word "unlock".

From the article you posted, the summary states: "You can see how to enter the unlock code to unlock GSM on the Telus HTC Touch Pro 2 Worldwide Edition." This is talking about unlocking GSM.---

---When people in this forum talk about 'unlocking', they're referring to the ability to load a different Hard SPL, so that they can install WM 6.5 on the phone. These are two completely different uses of the word "unlock."

I'm not sure which one you meant in your original post, but the TP2 does NOT have a HSPL released for it. So, you're stuck with WM6.1 (until HTC releases WM 6.5 in a few days)

The phone's great, however. I'd def. recommend.

The weather clock wont work, and when i go to weather, the my location tab says weather data is unavailable.

I would be fine with just manually selecting the location displayed on the weather clock. Can anyone help?

My Location depends on many things.

First try the new radio as I am sure NRG suggests.

If it does not work over phone connection then try this.

Turn on your data and wireless connection. Sync phone to pc and then try to get your location. For some reason that is the only way I can get it to work for the first time. Every time after that works fine for me over GPRS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Holy crap! It worked for me! Thank you so much, I've been trying to figure this out for the past 2 days now...

[Imagio General] dot45:
Can I add a button to dial a specific phone number? I am used to having a button that will auto-dial my audix at work and would love to have that on the new phone.

With the touchflow turned off, I dont see how to add it either, might be a difference between winmo 6.0 (treo 700wx) and winmo 6.5?

Hello all,

Last night I flashed my Kaiser with the new Titanium Ultimate 6.5 build (23053). All is working well except I am having trouble setting the wifi as the default internet connection, since I have no data package. In connection settings, I have deleted the settings for the default connection for Att's "Media Net," and tried to set up a new connection with the wifi. The settings that I began to enter seemed to be oriented towards a connection via a phone connection, bluetooth, or usb. How can I set it up to have wifi as my default internet connection?

Thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
You should not be starting a new thread, but post on the ROM's thread. Also, you should also read thoroughly the FAQ that states you have to flash stock ROM before custom ROM, and do HR in between.

Hello all,

I followed the instructions provided on the cyanogen website to upgrade to 4.1.999 on my tmobiel my touch.

However once I got to the last step and needed to go to console and hit enter, I can not hit enter on my my touch!!!

I tried to hold down menu and all the buttons but nothing. The screen is just stuck in this position.

If I just take out the battery, will I brick the phone. WHAT CAN I DO???

I bet you did not upgrade from 4.1.99 (which is required)......If you tried upgrading from 4.1.11.1 or any other, it gets stuck on the g1 screen......removing the battery is your only choice, and it should not brick the phone.....but you need to check your spl, radio and then follow the 4.1.99 directions (from cyanogen.com...you need to do three zip upgrades (first the original adp 1.6, second 4.1.99 and then finally third 4.1.999)

Please Help!!!

I love this ROM, but I cannot get good GPS quality with it. I know most people have no issue with this, but my GPS on my phone has always been finicky. I updated to Build 13 and Build 13 R2...and neither one allows my GPS to work. My GPS worked (although not really well) with all the other builds.

Here is the wierd part, when I travel out of my hometown (sarasota, FL) my GPS has always worked better. I work in Ocala and with Build 13 my GPS worked the other day, but not when I got home. I tried with the tweaks listed below and I tried before installing any tweaks, no luck...

I installed these tweaks:

GPS Registry - Alltel: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment...0&d=1237009140 (direct d/l link FYI)

Turbo_GPS_Settings: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=496800

Any help would be great, because GPS is my favorite feature on this phone.

[Touch Pro CDMA] zsunsun:
did you check your GPS signal? I recommended checking it out three times...
[Touch Pro CDMA] GatorsUF:
I checked the GPS Watcher program if that is what you are asking...
[Touch Pro CDMA] zsunsun:
In Startmenu, System Tools, GPS Viewer,

COM port #4, or simply COM4 4800 BAUD and hit OPEN wait 20 seconds or so until signal settles down.

Please post signal(numbers inside bars) and number of sats detected.

That software has a bug that when you do get a fix, it doesn't tell you until you switch tab back and forth.

Reason I'm asking for this is that I want to make sure your GPS unit can receive signal before messing with anything else.

Reg hacks and roms are not going to help if your GPS unit is defective, right? :)
[Touch Pro CDMA] GatorsUF:
here is a screenshot of GPS Viewer. This is from Ocala, Fl were my gps works fine. When I am in Sarasota, fl (hometown) the GPS viewer finds no satellites.
[Touch Pro CDMA] zsunsun:
From the looks of the numbers, it seems like to me that either your phone is located so that sky view is obstructed with something metallic or your inside building with windows. Right?

One you posted above is when GPS is operational, so, by comparing this screenshot with the other screenshot with GPS non-functional it will greatly help out in finding what is actually wrong.

As you might have figured out already, I prefer data collection first and then action later.
[Touch Pro CDMA] jmy72:
This might be a redundant question, but have you gone into your phone settings to make sure that Location settings are turned on? After that make sure that AGPS is enabled.
[Touch Pro CDMA] GatorsUF:
Yes NFSFANs rom has those settings by default, but thanks.
[Touch Pro CDMA] GatorsUF:
Here is the GPSViewer when I run it at my house. I had to leave it outside on my table for about 3-4 minutes and this is the signal I recieved. There were a few more bars but by the time I picked it up and ran CapSure they were gone...

Both were taken on a clear day outside of a building that obstructs the view slightly, but not enough to have much difference.
[Touch Pro CDMA] GatorsUF:
Oops I forgot the picture, here it is:
[Touch Pro CDMA] zsunsun:
Did this happen recently? Some satellites go offline and online periodically and you just may be happen to be in the area where signal dark occures.

or

Test with other Touch Pro phones nearby to confirm your GPS module pretty insensitive or not.

This is all I could think of, good luck.
[Touch Pro CDMA] GatorsUF:
It has been weak since I have owned the phone. It has however worked in Sarasota 90% of the time and works in Ocala all the time.

The main issue I want resolved is why my GPS worked on NFSFANs 112 Rom and before, but doesn't work on 113 R1-3
[Touch Pro CDMA] GatorsUF:
Can anyone else help with this?
[Touch Pro CDMA] billyman:
Can anyone tell me if that GPS Viewer app will display MPH (as opposed to km/h).

The GPS on my TP seems weak/inaccurate as well. I had a Mogul before & the GPS on it was dead on. I have had 2 TPs; the first one was horrible @ acquiring a signal. Even after using QuickGPS, it would still take forever outside. The one I have now acquires much faster, but tracking still is not as accurate as my Mogul.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Jason85:
I just did a hard reset and now my GPS doesnt work. It was fine before, I have the current MR1 rom update, and all was fine before. Now it just wont find any satellites. I have all the settings right, location on, Com4, 4800baud, managed by windows... I dont know what else to do other than another hard reset. I called verizon tech support, no help there. We did try VZ navigator, and it worked.

Change your radio. Happened to me and that was the culprit.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stantony1:
I found "HTC HTC Application Service" in the remove programs list.

Does anyone know what this is?

I admit I did delete it by accident. Would anyone have a cab to reinstall this?

Nothing appears to be weird or broken though.

Any clues?

Thanks

Wanted to note that the device is ATT Touch Fuze and that the cab in question appears to be ATT specific. Custom No Bloat Rom installed and it was cooked by Chadster.

hi all,

I'm from singapore and recently have bought a htc hero. I wanted to load modaco's rom but failed. this is what i have experienced.i tried the guide on adb commands but it gave me the error "remote: failed". subsequently i try the flashrec guide but the flashrec gave me invalid error.

Can someone help?

There are my phone details:

Firmware:1.5

build number: 2.73.707.9.146733 CL#62020 release-keys

software version: 1.0.0.A6288

one assumes that you have already rooted your HTC Hero ?

If not then follow this

http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/

once that is done then follow this

http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-hero/

This worked like a charm for me so I assume that it should work for you as well

I have this model also, just wondering when we are able to root the hero and install different roms will it enable different android market? I'm in the US and am lacking apps that should be present e.g Pandora, ebuddy etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
I was wondering if this way of force updating would work?

download the official rom version 1.76.405.x firmware (not rooted),

boot up the unit using home+power (to boot into recovery);

extract the official rom's rom.zip and rename into update.zip

put that update.zip into sdcard's root

on the device, apply the update in the recovery.

?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jesterz:
try it, but i doubt it will work because it will check the CID in the rom.zip(or renamed to update.zip) file and that ROM does not contain CID's needed for most phones.

see here

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:

I guess that's their meaning of non-CID'd rom reply?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jesterz:
uhm, could be, or it doesn't like the rom.zip (altough renamed to update.zip) zip file, which makes sence as we can create update.zip files and sign them ourselfs (stuff that for example paul (modaco) does) i need more playing time myself, but you can try and creating a new zip with the contents of the rom.zip and sign it, then look if that works....but i'm doubtful
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
funny thing is, i've downloaded the signed rom from modaco, (they are signed, as far as i can be told by the file name), and tried to flash it again using the same method:

Veryfiying update package...
E:No signature (740 files)

still no go.

does renaming a file affect the signature?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jesterz:
no, but the type of signing is the problem, the update.zip (with cert/sign files inside the zip) is a different kind then doing an edit on the physical zip file and changing (signing) and thats whats being checked and we currently can't duplicate (or re-sign a changed rom.zip)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notxel21:
I found a solution after being told it was not possible.

The Brown Hero I purchased was also an Asian version and had no Market.

I was so scared and frustrated at first because everyone said there was no solution.

But I found one! :D

*1. Download Linda file manager from here and install since you don't have the market! (I had a copy already on my sdcard) goto Settings, Applications, and make sure Unknown source is checked ON.

*2. On your phone, goto Settings, SD card and phone storage, and click Unmount SD card.

*3. Then click Format SD card (it should automatically remount after this)

*4. Plug the phone into the compuer via USB, then pull down the notification bar and click on the SD card notification. Then click mount.

*5 Download the Flashrec apk from this link: http://zenthought.org/system/files/asset/2/flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk and install using Linda File manager.

*6. Download Amon_RA_Herov1.2.2 Recovery image and place on root of sdcard

*7. Open the FlashRec program and click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish.

*8. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type

/sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.2.img

Then click on the Flash Custom RecoveryImage button and wait for it to finish.

*9. Turn off the phone and turn it on into Recovery mode by holding down Home and Power to turn it on (keep holding until the recovery screen comes up has a bunch of text on a black background). So long as that screen comes up, you have done it correctly and now you can load this rom which is HTC Generic 2.73.405.5

It's also referred to as Modaco version 2.2, it's what I'm currently using.

*10. Place that rom on the root of you're sdcard and use option Apply sdcard: choose zip option and flash! Once done reboot and you're all set and will have The Android Market and all the goodness that rooting provides! :D

Hope this helps!:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] plbelanger:
You had the same ROM version as mentioned in the original post? ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notxel21:
My version was a little different but it was an Asian version and did not come with the Android Market installed and had SlideMe market instead.

Here is a screen shot:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tianci86:
i have tried the method u suggested but to no avail. ya, your version of hero is slightly different from mine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jesterz:
this is due to the fact that the rom version you had (although asian) still had the kernel exploit, therefor flashrec worked for you, however the version they are talking about here doesn't have this exploit and flashrec doesn't work for them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notxel21:
Thanks, I'm hoping a solution for the version they have is found soon.

I would be really depressed if I was stuck with that version. :cool:

hi notxel21,

I also have the same version of brown htc hero as you. It is from south east asia. I want to try your method of rooting the phone, but before do, i have a few question.

1. How do i backup my phone so that if i mess up during the process of rooting my phone, i can press reset and go back from the beginning of where i started.

2. i found on this forum also that there is another method http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4583138&postcount=14 parts of it looks similar but parts of it are not, i don't know which one to choose.

3. Does the location where i live matter? I live in Toronto, Canada and am using an south east asia brown htc hero, as far as i know, android market is available in Canada but android market is not available in south east asian, is there a more easier way of just downloading the android market application?
