It was your comment about me where you said "I'm sure he knows a lot more about this stuff then you'll ever be able to learn" that I was referring to there. Never implied that you don't know anything about phones, but that you obviously knew nothing about what I knew and were making some pretty bold (and unfounded) assumptions regarding my lack of knowledge.

The ROM comment came in because had you looked at some of my previous posts you'd have noticed that I was also releasing ROMs before the "kitchens" came about.

Having been away from the scene for awhile, I suppose it was a combination of the flip comment which implied I knew nothing of which I spoke and the impression that (it seems) everyone has a donation line these days. Back when the Wizard was state of the art, everyone worked for the love of the challenge, rather than to make a few bucks.

So the impression that I got when I read the post was a bit off putting. If my response was a bit harsh, I apologize. I generally try to stick to the facts on any technical issue, but when someone blasts out an attack I sometimes get a wee bit aggressive in the reply. ;)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] scriptx:
Thanks for the clarification. I may just wait for an updated carrier rom to update the radio, and then flash back to my rom of choice... or just pay for the unlocking next pay cycle. :)

possibly noob question about flashing radios

I just picked up a tmobile TP2 last night, and brought it home to canada. however, the tmobile phones dont' support 3g here in canada, because of the different frequencies used (my at&t touchpro works fine on 3g/hsdpa).

being just a lurker, i feel a bit abusive asking questions after only a few hours of searching, but i havent' quite found an answer to my question yet: can I flash an AT&T radio to the tmobile version of the phone, to get the proper radio support and finally, 3G support on the Rogers network in Canada? I did try manually setting the network type from auto to GSM and band frequency from auto to gsm(1900+850)/umts(1900+850), but still seem to only get EDGE connectivity.

I'm looking at the radios on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=549939, and going to try the at&t radios to see if that works. Any advice welcome, thanks guys,

dwight s.

edit - flashed with radio "Radio_Rhodium_4.48.25.20" (http://www.4shared.com/get/176464990/ef2b2857/Radio_Rhodium_4482520.html), still only get EDGE connectivity, so no joy there. I suspect folks response may be "you have the wrong phone" ?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
It's not a software issue, but a hardware issue.

The TMobile TP2 supports the T-Mobile 3G UMTS band and the Euro UMTS band.

The ATT TP2 supports the ATT/Rogers 3G UMTS band and the Euro UMTS band.

The Sprint/Verizon TP2 supports the Euro UMTS band.

If you want to use an American TP2 on Rogers in Canada, you're stuck with the ATT hardware.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dwightery:
doh, that's what i get for buy now (excuse the pun), ask questions later! Thanks for the info, gamescan.

that said, anyone in the US interested in a slightly more used tmobile htc tp2? PM if you're interested - i paid $360 on ebay for it, i'll sell it for 350, and free shipping. I'll probably post it back on ebay in a week or so. If you do PM me, wait a week for a response, as i'm away on holidays next week.

question i have a telus touch pro 2 im using on rogers if i flash this radio will that enable me to get 3g on rogers?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dwightery:
hi hiwired...

that i'm not sure about. I might the tmobile touchpro2 i have to a bell-aliant store, borrow a sim card, and see if it runs in 3g or not. If it does, then I would say that bell/telus use different radio hardware than rogers does, and that being the case, then no, you probably would not get 3g on rogers.

You could try flashing the radio if you're anxious to try it out, but honestly, i'm not sure it'll work. are you only getting EDGE right now?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] hiwiredjuice:
ya just edge right now i was reading up some on rogers 3g network and it looks like rogers uses 1900mhz for voice and edge and 850mhz for 3g so not sure if it would help please advise
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dwightery:
same here, with my tmobile phone. I did try flashing the radio, as mentioned above, but no luck. I've ordered a new at&t tilt2 (touchpro2) and i'll let you know how it works out once it get it and try it out (probably 2 weeks). I assume you had 3g ok on the telus/bell network with yours?

dwight
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] hiwiredjuice:
i was never on telus/bell im strict on rogers but i know the tilt 2 from att will work on rogers. but i had a fuze and that worked fine on rogers 3g so must be network.

I had my sprint tp2 HSPL, flash to spl 1.00.Olinex. The bootloader also show security unlocked. I also flash the radio to 2.23.00WU. However, I can't use my GSM Sim card. Whenever, I tried to use RhodiumWUnlocker, I always get an error at every step. Step 1 always have a pop up that ask to download a enablerapinew.cab. Step 2 problem is if I flash it, it will give me radio 2.05.00WV .If I don't flash it I have radio 1.96.00WF . While at step 3 it said radio cannot unlock. Anyone have a solution here? Thanks.

security unlock

hey guys, how do i tell if my phone is security unlocked? When I check the sim security, it says sim unlocked, however when I try to flash the WU radio, it bricks my phone and I have to reload the rom back onto the phone. Any suggestions would help thanks.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] christophocles:
Thank you!! Great timing btw. I finally got around to security unlocking my Sprint TP2 last night so I could flash the 2.23.00WU (verizon) radio. Signal strength is better but battery consumption is through the roof, so I will not be keeping that one.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] bones20:
2.32.00 ROM certainly gives better signal. Performance wise so far does not seem to be any worse.

thx
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
when you purchase the sim unlocker and apply it, you'll be unlocked :).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
this won't work with boost, boost uses the iden network, sprint uses cdma. the sim card is for gsm only.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
You don't swap ESN numbers legally.

Pay the outstanding bill and get Sprint to clear the ESN block.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Solace87:
I have a 6.5 touch pro 2 from us cellular and when I try the first link (says sprint but will work with everyone) it just sits at 0 percent forever.

It is security unlocked because it says sim unlocked and wont let you enter a code.

any ideas?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] flyinghi5:
I am not really new to the ROM stuff and have done this to many of my phones. I have HSPL'd and loaded Energy ROM on my TP2 but am still having a hard time getting my hands around the unlock for US SIMS.

I am not afraid to try anything but I just want to make sure it's worthwhile so here is my questions.

I am on USCC CDMA and the radio just plain $uck$ and would like to know if it is worthwhile to pursue this radio? What would be the benefit? I would have to assume if I do this I would have to find a SIM card. Does it matter which one I used and does this mean I would be utilizing another network besides USCC?

Thanks for your input

Unlock Samsung Phone giorgio armani b7620

hi there Olipro,

Can you help me to unlock my phone Samsung Giorgio Armani b7620. Windows mobile 6.5. I bought it unlocked.

I am not really sure what the problem is. But basically there is no network signal on it after I did a hard reset on it. I had a password lock on the phone, but last week I entered the same password as always. The phone did not let me go in. So I did a hard reset on it.

I put my friend's T-mobile simcard into the phone. It worked fine. the antena of the phone is working good. I put my At&T simcard into his unlocked Nokia N97. it worked fine. so my sim is still good.

I put my mom's At&T simcard into the phone. There is no signal.

It looks like there is a restriction on AT&T simcard after the hard reset.

I am trying to flash the phone with a different Radio version but I don't know how to put it into the Boot Loader mode.

Maybe you know what the real problem of the phone because you are an expert at this matter. Please help me fix it.

I'll donate you money for your effort of helping.

thanks

@NRGZ28

Do you know where I could get a SIM Card with out buying a phone? I would like to try the prepaid cards like T-mobile or ATT&T. First I need to unlock my SIM. I'm working on that but first I'm told I need a different SIM to get it sim unlocked. Is that also true?

Thanks,
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] 2002wrex:
you don't need to have ANY sim card in the phone (assuming you are using a CDMA TP2) to do a security unlock. in fact, if i remember you aren't suppossed to have one in the phone when you do it. paypal Olinex for the donationware, and they will email you a RUU to unlock the phone. change to one of the radios in the first post of this thread, and install whatever sim card you choose.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] timothyrubel:
@2002wrex:

You do neeed the SIM card present in the phone. At least it worked for me. IT is the SD card that you need to remove for safty when flashing the ROM updates.

To get back to my question about the purchase of a SIM card since we can not use the SPRINT SIM's as they are pretty much worthless here in the states. I would like to be able to purchase T-Mobile prepaid or ATT&T prepaid service and use that as a second line in my phone. Since I do not have a SIM card from ATT&T or T-Mobile. I am asking again, Does anyone know where we can purchase just the SIM's?

Thanks,

Tim
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
you can buy them off ebay, or go to wal-mart and get a prepaid phone, the cheapest is $14.88(t-mobile).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] TGabriele:
What is the difference between the WV and WU radios besides locked and unlocked? Anything? I am running my original stock VZW 2.23.00WV and I am already using US SIMs with my SIM unlocked. Would I see any advantages if I switched to any of these WU's? How is the Sprint one better than the VZW one other than the fact that its newer?

I appreciate some helpful answers here. I am not new to the flashing scene, but the whole "what radio is the best?" thing has always eluded me. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
i haven't seen anything posted about someone getting a better reception because of these radios. usually olipro makes an unlocked radio based off the newest stock radio released. sprint users got the 2.32.00 when the official 6.5 was released.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kewljay223:
hey everyone. im a newb (look at my post numbers... lol) and i just wanted to let everyone know that this is def working on my phone. i know i dont post too often but thats mainly because i read and read and read like everyone says and EVENTUALLY you will find the answer! hell ive done numerous reg tweaks on a couple phones and rom flashed and havnt bricked a thing. BUT!!! it does take some digging but they are out there. dont be lazy! anyway i would like to help anyone else who is still having trouble with this to contribute to the community for all the help and tweaks from everyone here. i was having problems the first several times around but thats because i couldnt find the answer to my specific problem (even though 1 or 2 others posted the same prob as me). so i emailed htc unlocks with everything i did and everything i tried and the answer was that the phone had to be in GSM ONLY mode from start to end. i went back and did a quick look thru this and the unlock thread and found that this answer HAD been posted a number of times..... so yes i felt like a dumb ass. guess i couldnt put 2 and 2 together.... ANYWAY, all is well now.

i was making a sprint phone work on att network but im sure this can be applied to other senarios. heres the steps plain and simple.

1. purchase unlocker - MANDATORY!!!

2. remove SD card

3. insert sim card you want to use (not sure this is mandatory but on my sprint TP2 the option for step 4 was not available unless sim was inserted in phone)

4. turn phone on and put phone in GSM ONLY mode

5. make activesync connection

6. run purchased unlocker program. each step at a time in order!

7. download 1st radio (2.23.00WU sprint stock edited) and run the program

device should restart and u should now be automatically connected to U.S.A. GSM carrier. thats exactly what i did and and it works great. hope this solves any issues for anyone here. havnt tested sms or data or experienced dropped calls like some others have posted about as i just finished this process and made a phone call immediately after just about 5 min ago. anyway, good luck to you all.

and thank you oli and cmon!!! your work is much appreciated. along with everyone else. you guys are awesome. keep it up!!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] vicsptcruiser1:
ok i have an unlock code for my tp2 on sprint. now ive unlocked many gsm phones but never cdma. i was told put sim in and follow prompts... well of course it didnt work, so now i found this stuff and im reading but i dont get everything. #1 what is " you must be security unlocked to flash this" mean?

#2 i looked at my firmware amd its 2.23.00 wf not {wu or wv}.. does that matter? and

#3 can i just put the sim in and put it in gsm mode and enter the code if it ask?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
basically, you purchase the unlocker from post #1. get the email, enter the info desired and start the sim unlock process. then flash one of the special radios that lets you use gsm networks in the united states. this is the only way of doing this, no codes will work. you can flash different roms and your phone will say unlocked, but unless you purchase the sim unlocker, you are not security unlocked.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] vicsptcruiser1:
how can i tell if im security unlocked
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
read this thread, it will answer your question. or, just read the post above yours. if you didn't buy the sim unlocker from post #1, you're not security unlocked. i can't make it any plainer than that.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] buddha86:
So I am a noob and have been searching and can't find an answer to this so please bear with me. From what I understand, if the sim is unlocked, then I can run on gsm. Does this in turn disable cdma or can I use both concurrently while still with sprint?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] vicsptcruiser1:
answer

no it dont disable cdma , it allows u to use both... after doing the programs that u would buy from olio (spelled wrong) u then can swiitch from gsm and cdma in ur phone settings

also i didnt choose to cid unlock , i only checked off sim and security unlock when i used the program, is there a way i can do a cid unlock without useing the entire 3 step process again?? could that be y i dont have data?

this is like my 6th post and question about this could someone answer??? i did search and i dont get what i need! thank would really appreaciate it.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kewljay223:
ok so im using att on sprints tp2. everything works. phone,text,mms,internet.... BUT all i seem to get is edge... slow as hell compared to my ATT tilt with hsdpa. set advance config for hsdpa but that dont help. is this a hardware thing being that sprint was designed for cdma? but that doesnt make sense to me. im using my sim card now and it should use at least 3g right? i searched for this and found a guy brought a us phone to canada for rogers or something and it was cuz the frequencies were diff or something. but this is still a us phone... what am i missing? is it possible to get the 3g or hsdpa speed on it cuz internet is kinda slow and google maps just crawls!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dwightery:
hi kewljay ..

the issue is that the 3g radio used for AT&T is different from the 3g radio for tMobile. I was one of the guys who had gotten a tmobile touchpro2 and brought it into canada, but i could only get EDGE on Rogers - Rogers uses the same 3g radio frequencies as at&t, not tmobile.

If you are on tmobile, I do have a tmobile touchpro2 i'm selling, since I already bought an AT&T one to replace it with. PM me if you're interested. If you are on sprint though, I thought they were CDMA, and wouldn't work with a GSM 3g phone - to be honest, i'm not familiar with the US networks to know if it would work for you. Perhaps someone else in the thread is.

dwight
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kewljay223:
hey dwight. thanks for the reply but i think u misunderstood me somewhere. i am an ATT customer not tmobile. but i was able to get a SPRINT TP2 from a friend for really cheap. i bought the security unlocker from olinex so that i could use this phone with ATT and it works just fine.... except the best i can get is edge.... i also flashed the 2.32 RECOMENDED RADIO at the beginning of this thread to make this all possible. what im not getting is why im not getting the 3g on my phone? at least the icon is not displaying at the top for either 3g or hsdpa. if the radio i have was made to use with gsm carriers, i should get the gsm speed correct? im using thier network arent i? i dont know how these radios work so maybe this is why im lost. i just know how to flash!!! :D btw, im using energys manila 2.5 rom for cdma but i dont think this could be the cause cuz i had a cooked rom on my tilt and i was using hsdpa.... but then again, the tilt was originally an att phone... i jsut figured since im using the gsm network, i should get everything that goes along with it.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gsvnet:
The Sprint Touch Pro2 only supports UMTS/HSDPA (3G) on the 2100 band (possibly 900 as well). AT&T uses 850 and 1900, so you can clearly see the problem there.

It supports quad band GSM, including 850 and 1900, so EDGE is fine, but UMTS/HSDPA (3G) isn't.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kewljay223:
thanks for the quick reply. so basically i am screwed... oh well. at least it works right? :) but just for my knowledge, is the REASON it doesnt see the band because of the hardware in the phone itself thus it never working, or the radio im using? if its radio, does that mean there is hope for a future one being released to flash in order to make this work? sorry if thats a newb question, just trying to learn this stuff. thanks :D
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dwightery:
hi kewljay ..

ahh, yes, sorry I did misunderstand the explanation of your situation. From my understandings of gsm/3g/hsdpa, they are mutually inclusive - just because your phone radio works with gsm on one provider doesn't mean it will also work in 3g/hsdpa, at least with the htc touchpro2's. AT&T and Cingular use one 3g radio band, and I think tmobile and others use a different one. As i mentioned, I have tmobile touchpro2 that will not give me 3G on rogers in canada, but the at&t touchpro2 does.

i had also tried flashing the radio on the tmobile phone, but to no affect - I still only got edge with it on Rogers 3g network. If you are a at&t customer, you'll probably need to get a at&t/cingular tp2 to get 3g and faster speeds

dwight.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Tregrad:
ok, question. if you need to be security unlocked, then why is there no instructions or at least a link to find out how to do it?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kewljay223:
oh and one more question.... i just found out today that i cant recieve mms messages. i can send/recieve text, internet, phone calls and i can even SEND mms but cant recieve it. it tells me message downloading and message downloaded but when i click to view it says message not found. i used the auto config program which supposedly retrieved the settings for my sim card which worked almost perfectly. i was wondering if i should install the cab fix for the att mms... remember i have a sprint cdma phone but its unlocked for us carriers. is the cab specific for gsm phones or will it be ok for cdma devices too? thanks.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] hi-tech:
Newb question... other than the benefit of US GSM networks with the WU radio, is their any gain in signal strength over the stock Sprint radio on Sprint network? (2.32.00WF vs the edited 2.32.00WU). Don't really need the US GSM but would sim unlock if it improved the EVDO coverage a bit.

Thanks for letting us know.

Oli,

thanks for all the hard work. For a mare $23 I can now have both Sprint and T-mobile in my phone.

Well, I have to manually switch back and forth (btw, is there a program that will switch automatically back and forth in some predetermined time frame?)

I have to agree with some other people, the instructions can be cleaned up a bit, but otherwise, perfect job.
