[Touch Pro CDMA] dreynam2:
Hi everyone, PLEASE READ PLEASE READ STEP BY STEP i was reading and a lot of people have questions about going to metropcs and nobody give them really good help, so i decided to make this post for you guys but please please do not post me asking how to do it in other htcs phone or worst in samsungs, lgs, etc etc I AM DOING IT THIS ONLY FOR HTC RAPHAEL or 6850 or touch pro cdma what ever you want to call it. ok so lets get start it. you have either two options:

1. Install the Hard-SPL (to unlock the phone), Install custom radio, Install custom rom, Install and modify files to make it work in Metropcs internet,mms etc. and finally take it to metropcs pay between $40 to $60 box so they flash it and you have already the phone working with everything. (recommened for dummies)

2. Install the Hard-SPL (to unlock the phone),Install custom radio Install custom rom, Install and modify files to make it work in Metropcs internet,mms etc. and Flash the HTC 6850 Touch Pro MEID and ESN to Clone the phone (i assume you have one phone already working on metropcs and you dont want to use the phone anymore so you clone it hehehehe.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Option. Download this file first:

http://www.4shared.com/file/140639926/7fa190d6/TP_ESN_FILES2.html

Important:

first, if you have GSM Touch Pro/Raphael (NOT CDMA, NOT SPRINT/VERIZON/ALLTEL/TELUS/BELL), this will brick your device.

to download a compatible hardspl package for gsm touch pro you can go to xdaforums.com.

but if you have CDMA Touch Pro/Raphael, then you have to use this hardspl, not the one at xda-developers!!!

preparations before flash:

1) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

2) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...ce-center.mspx

3) now decide which Hard-SPL you want to flash. if you have Verizon, flash VZW package (from verizon attachment). if you have Sprint, Telus or Alltel or Bell, flash default package (Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037.zip).

instructions:

1) extract Hard-SPL Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037.zip

2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!

3) run HardSPL exe that you extracted before.

4) follow steps in the RUU, and check on the device for prompts after PC shows loading bar.

5) it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.37.C-SSPL or for Verizon devices it should say 0.35-C-SSPL.

6) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.

7) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.37.CMONEX MFG.

NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!

to enter bootloader mode to see version: with the device turned on, press and hold the volume down button along with the power button, then press the reset button with the stylus tip, then release the volume down and power buttons when bootloader tricolour screen appears.

NOTE 2: anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy SSPLManual.exe from the SSPLManual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is in SSPL, run RUU manually. i.e. you run the RUU on the PC, if it isn't obvious.

make sure to get SSPL-Manual specifically for Verizon phones from the verizon package.

NOTE 3: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. no limitations on flashing ROMs or radio packages. also, this has overwrite protection, if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package is also available here.

NOTE 4: do not use this RUU to flash anything else! this is only intended for flashing the Hard-SPL.

NOTE 5: use Relocker *only* if you need to return the phone for warranty. only use it as last step - after reflashing stock OS and radio. Default relocker is for Sprint etc, Raphael_CDMA_VZW_Relocker in the verizon package is for Verizon touch pro's.

Next.Next.

we need to install the Radio, (make sure the phone is recognized by microsoft sync) i relized that the better one out there for metropcs is Telus v1.04.05V thats why i put it in my rar file.

1. extract Telus v1.04.05V and run ROMUpdateUtility

2. install it

3. when is done make sure the radio is v1.04.05V (in the dilaler press menu then press phone information and look for Radio.)

Next.

Install the rom of your chooise.I recommend for metropcs either mightyrom

(http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=52695) or NFSFAN's Custom WM6.5 ROMs (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=516509) a lot of people ask for a custom rom for metropcs and thats not necesary to have almost every raphael cdma rom out there is compatible with metropcs.
