1) no, stick to cdma roms

2) no, just edge
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
new version up!

the 2.05 now shows 2.05 correctly in NBH version.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] homer5995:
After running the final step, I am confused with the menu that shows up on the device regarding CID, Security Unlock, and Sim unlock. What are these for, and how do I access this menu again if I need to change something?

Thanks

Which Radio Do I Choose For Sprint?

Thanks for the hard work cmonex, very much appreciated. I went through all of the steps with no issues and I have verified that 'Security Unlocked' is displayed in the bootloader screen. When I came to get the patched Sprint Radio 'WU', as directed by the site I made the purchased the unlocker since I am on Sprint, I see that there are two now. Only one mentions Sprint specifically and I was wondering if both are usable, or if I should stick with the one that actually mentions Sprint. What do you suggest? Also, if I flash the first patched radio, is the new version that you refer to here one that can be flashed over the first one without relocking the radio?

Thanks again,

Z-DUB

I FINALLY GOT MY DATA WITH ATT SIM CARD TO WORK WITH MY TP2 FROM SPRINT...... WHAT I DID FIRST IS

SWITH TO CDMA MODE

DIAL ##3282# WENT EDIT (MSL NEEDED) CHG MY USER NAME AND PASS TO

User: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Pass: CINGULAR1

I SAVE THE SETTINGS(PHONE REBOOTED)

THEN I CHANGED IT BACK TO GSM MODE ONLY

SELECTED ATT

OPEN OPERA BROWSER

AND IT WORKS

(ITS SAY NOW IM CONNECTED WITH MEDIA NET)

IM CURRENTLY RUNNING SPRINT STOCK ROM
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dazzl1113:
Do these radios have the potential to help with reception as well? I'm in a red (top quality reception area) for verizon. Previously my storm always had 5 bars, this TP2 barely holds a bar and I'll get brief flashes of full signal for less than a second.

I'm really hoping I can find something that will improve it.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
newer radios usually have improved reception, but these radios released in this forum are based on existing radios so won't be any different in terms of that unless you mean trying GSM reception instead of CDMA - that could help :)

you can use either radio, it's also ROM dependent which one works better for you. try 1.96.00WU first.

see my explanation in the same thread over at ppcgeeks forum (site down now or I'd copypaste the text)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] samaarons:
WOW what a difference between cmonex and olipro customer service. Olipro was coding during customer service class, looks like cmonex took good notes. cmonex, please share your cust service class notes with our good brit friend. My sister-inlaw says I am the only one in this universe with no sense of humor, apparently she has not met olipro.:D
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] saumaun:
cmonex, PPCGeeks is back up now (for the most part). We were switching from Apache to NGINX, so it was a bit buggy.

BTW - Is it possible to flash a custom splash screen to replace the stock one? If so, could you tell me where the tools are? Thanks

EDIT: NVM - I found it :D

I need to unlock

I need to unlock, can you tell me how to deal? My e-mail:nome_hwein155@msn.com
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
I believe I replied to you in the other thread
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
LOL thanks for the compliment. :)

he does have a funny sense of humour, apparently only true brits can appreciate it fully, but you can get used to it after a while :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cyespocket:
hello..okay i believe i did everything right..

hard-spl..was done when you released it the firstday..

now sim-unlocker

skipped step 1

step 2 was a bliss

step 3 was a bliss also

downloaded the new radio..

i watched the video on pocketnow.com about this(sim unlock) followed every step..phone is working right..but when i go to gsm only and searched for a network available..found tmo and att..i chose att..and it did registering....after that all i get is network error.."cannont register on selected network. choose another network, or disconnect your data connection and try again"..i tried both (tmo)..anythin im missing thanks..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] djpaul:
This becomes VERY FURSTRAITING *(&$@&#(@&#(@&#$

I have tried over 30 times to run this &$&#$# unlocker and I get fatal error before I can even install Step 1 Hard SPL.

I've tried skiping it and then I get message that RADIO CANNOT UNLOCK.

Help please.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
you should flash a CDMA, not GSM rom
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
well, buy it.

if you did... then message us at http://support.htc-unlocks.com
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] djpaul:
I followed instruction from beginning including generous donation/purchase of file and still same thing.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] WiZaxx:
Are you running it as ADMINISTRATOR ?

Cheers
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] djpaul:
Double checked and same thing when I try to get Hard SPL on it install file onto phone with no issues and then when 0-100 have to come in, it throws fatal error - make sure that your radio is turned on and try resetting.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] WiZaxx:
If you are running as administrator, are you installing the right one?

I installed the 1.96 (the one for Spint devices) all worked fine, but could not get to step 1 without administrator privileges.

Triple check it, just in case
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] WiZaxx:
Sure you had your SIM on and your mode of operation on "GSM Only" when you unlocked the radio?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] djpaul:
i am not able to change to GSM only. The only choice I have is CDMA only.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
as I said, message us at our support site (if you didn't yet - I don't remember if there was anyone with similar issue recently)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
put a SIM card in...?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] djpaul:
Thanks everyone. I put sim card in and it worked. It even redirected me to the newer version of the Hard SPL.

Thanks again for everyone's help and patiense (I could use lit bit extra these days - patience that is)

This site rocks.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] WiZaxx:
Unable to retain setings

I'm having to re-select the network manually constantly. Looks like every time I change tower ..

It drops both:

the Current Network (goes to no service)

the Mode of Operation (goes back to global)

the GSM Network Selection (goes back to Automatic)

the baseband also changes as a consequence

It doesn't drop the settings when flashing new ROM or soft-reset, though.

If I remember correctly, I red of someone else reporting similar problem....fixed??

Thank you
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] wendellc:
after unlocking radio to work on Tmobile US, is 3g going to work or not? I read on another site 3g will not work. Just want to make sure before I jump on a great deal and try this phone out.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
if you only tried 2.05 radio, try 1.96 too
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
not for the time being :(
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] WiZaxx:
Actually I only tried 1.96 as I have a Sprint device and assumed 2.05 was for different devices. I will try 2.05 and report it back.

Testing it right now....

Flashed the 2.05 radio over the 1.96 and the settings are all there, nothing has dropped.

I'll will travel a little and report back.

Thank you.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] wendellc:
Thanks for the re[ply, I guess I'll keep following this thread!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
Not just for the "time being." Not ever.

At least, not if the specs are correct.

The Sprint Touch Pro 2 is quad band GSM, but only single banded WCDMA. That WCDMA band is 2100.

Ergo, the Sprint TP2 will only work on GSM 3G in Europe and Japan. It'll never work on T-Mobile US 3G (1700/2100) or ATT US 3G (850/1900).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
I dunno if the specs are really correct, I do think the chances are less than 50% for this to work, anyway sorry if I used the expression wrong, my first language is not english:shrug:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] WiZaxx:
Working only on MANUAL

Unfortunately, I still have to register on the network manually every time I loose connection.

flashed a number of ROM over both 1.96 and 2.05, but with the same result.

Any idea/suggestion? (besides using it as a photo-frame?)

Thank you
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] 1999TL:
I just got my TP2 so I'm reading posts from the beginning. I just spit out my damn drink reading this post. HOT DAMN IT. LOL.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] TurboX2:
I dont know why they would include the USA bands in the band selection on the legit rhodium comm manager (which isnt included by sprint)

has anyone with the US unlocked sprint/verizon TP2 played with these settings??
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kaoss_11:
Am i doing something wrong here. I am sim unlocked and everything but i keep getting error 290
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] getnmoney:
u should flash your phone by sd
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kaoss_11:
tried that still have issues. i made my sd card fat 32 and I put the image named correctly at the root of the sd card.

any other ideas
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sambo60:
This question is probably stupid, but here goes. After reading what I can find, I'm still not sure what to do. I use at&t, and I would LOVE a touch pro2 with a 3.5mm headphone jack. From what I've read (I could be wrong on this), the Sprint tp2 has one and the at&t model does NOT. However, it seems that if I get the Sprint tp2 (CDMA), I won't be able to use 3G, and it will work on "edge". What kind of impact does this have on me? How much slower is edge? It's looking like my dream of a good phone with a headphone jack will not be realized yet unless I'm willing to sacrifice speed (unless I switch carriers, which I can't do at this point). Am I misunderstanding anything?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cuti7399:
sprint touch pro2

dam, i just got this today now I'm scratching my head :(
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] swtestuser:
On my Sprint TP2, it says

ROM version: 1.21.651.3

ROM date : 07/017/2009

Radio version: 1.96.00WF (not WV ???)

Would that still work for me? Need to find out before I pay for the unlocker .

Thanks.

You have to get the unlocker first.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] daddylonglegs:
I am so confused I don't even know if I'm posting this in the right thread.

I am real sorry if I'm asking a really stupid question but as a longtime Verizon customer SIM cards are completely new to me :)

I have an HTC Touch Pro2 from Verizon. I am in the United States. I go to a particular part of upstate New York sometimes that believe it or not, AT&T gets great reception and Verizon gets none. I would like to do this SIM unlock thing (is it also referred to as a radio unlock sometimes?) because I'd like the option of using AT&T if I need to. What I would do is take out Verizon's Vodafone card they have in my device and I'd just buy a prepaid SIM card from AT&T. That way I'd have service "everywhere". This is what I want and basically what I'm asking is would this be the thread to get that going? Or am I asking for something that's not even possible? (I know Verizon told me the phone doesn't even see AT&T's GSM frequencies so I don't know). That would be the coolest thing ever. If this is indeed possible, how do I only switch to AT&T when I want to? I'm a Verizon customer; I'd just want to use an AT&T tower in an emergency. Is it a big hassle or did someone write some cool program that switches between CDMA and GSM or something?

Also, would this unlock device be good if I frequently travel to Europe? Last year I visited family in Germany and the UK and they both laughed when they had SIM cards waiting for me and I told them my phone wouldn't accept it. With this unlocker thing, can I just pop in any SIM card I'd buy from a store over there and it would work?? That would be almost equally as awesome.

Sorry if I'm asking such newbish questions...I try to help out here when I can but like I said, I'm so very new to SIM cards. I barely even know what the hell the one does that's in my phone now!

Thanks guys and gals :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Cotys:
What am I missing

I have the Sprint TP2 and have done the following:

1. Unlocked the phone - HSPL. The tricolor banner reads "Security Unlocked"

2. Applied the 1.1.96.00WU radio (With GSM sim inserted, in GSM mode)

Got the unlock online, with a donation

3. Ran RhodiumWUnlocker from the email I received. It saw I was unlocked and moved to step 2.

4. Completed step 2 with no errors.

5. Completed step 3 with no errors,and hit the commit button.

In GSM mode I cannot find any networks. I've tried manual and automatic.

I've ran steps 3 - 5 again, it shows that I am SIM unlocked, but I don't see any networks. "No Service" for current network in GSM.

Possible I screwed up my IMEI when I sent it? Its tiny print under that battery.

If step three knows I'm already SIM unlocked I should be able to see networks. I'm stumped.

------

Additional note:

I ran throught the process again. I noticed that my step 4 (second step of RhodiumWUnlocker) replaces my 1.1.96.00WU radio with 2.05.00WV that's the locked version right??? The next step shows I'm already sim unlocked. I reinstalled 1.1.96.00WU radio again just to verify that was what was happening. Should I have another rom in the directory for it to install? I had been working as if RhodiumWUnlocker had everythig it needed.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] lebmb:
I have the same problem, pretty much the only downside to it, i dont know if its due to the radio, or unlocker or the hardware, i tried different radios too but nothing changed. i'd love to see the fix for that because it would make it so much more convinient.

I noticed that if i'm not moving, it's ok, but when driving and stuff it disconnects.

if there's anything i can do to help test or something im all for it.

Thanks for the great work
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ps54321@hotmail.com:
Anybody knows if the canadian Telus touch pro2 is like the Sprint one (needs a new radio)?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Yung:
I have the same issues. Everything is unlocked, but I still can't use GSM service here in the U.S.

Oops, I realized I missed one of the following essential steps:

I needed to have the SIM inserted, and GSM only mode selected, before the WU radio is flashed. Once that was done, I had to manually select the GSM carrier network. It's working fine now. :-D
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
only sprint versions needs the radio.

VZW TP2 working on AT&T and TMOBILE

I can confirm that the Verizon TP2 will recognize and use both AT&T and TMO sims/service. I have VZW TP2 and I called customer service and they unlocked my sim. I then borrowed a couple of friends' sim cards to test and was able to place calls from both sim cards. These were both POST PAID accounts, so unless the prepaids are using diff. frequencies, which I doubt, then the tech gave you misinformation. When you do swap out the sim card and want to use the GPS service you will need to go into Phone settings / Network / set to gps only and then set up the service.

In regards to the SIM card which is in your phone right now, It is only able to be used outside the USA. It is your same phone number for when you are travelling and do not have CDMA service. The SIM card must also be unlocked by VZW in order to use the card for global use. I only had VZW unlock my SIM capabilities in the phone, not the SIM card itself, and I was able to use the other carriers' cards.

My Radio version is 1.88.07WV

Hope this helps!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dominicanodcora:
if i upgrade my device to 6.5 will i still be able to use my tmobile sim card?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] realgenericuser:
When YOU need a SIM unlocker, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.

Holy cow. No wonder people with 1800+ posts lose it sometimes. That has got to be the 12,298th time someone has asked that flipping question.

HERE IS THE ANSWER (apart from read the forum before posting the same question).

You, yes you, the SPRINT user. YOU do NOT need to unlock the SIM to a) upload new ROMs (Hard-SPL for that). YOU, yes still YOU Sprint-User-Non-Forum-Reader, YOU do NOT need to SIM unlock if you b) just want to use a NON-U.S. gsm SIM card OUTSIDE the U.S.

Going to London? Want to use a UK-based GSM card? Then you DO NOT need to SIM unlock.

If You, LIKE ME and SOME OTHERS, WANT to use a U.S. gsm SIM card, then you will need to buy the SIM unlocker.

For the record, NO ONE cares if YOU do not see a need to do this. Some of US do/did. Hell, some of us did it for fun. If you DO NOT want to use a U.S. gsm SIM (see At&t or T-mobile) then You are fine without the SIM unlocker, but please, for the love of all things holy STOP asking why anyone would want it (maybe I want to cheat on my wife? sell stolen dvd players? pretend I am an international spy? WHO CARES) or opining that the omnipotent YOU do not see any reason for it.

For the record, it is only a vicious rumor that I am an international spy.

One nickel minus three pennies (flame away).

Call Verizon

Sprint's HTC Rhodiums have code that prevent standard SIM unlocking from letting the phone hit on a U.S. gsm carrier's tower. You are Verizon, totally different. They are just carrier locked. Call them tell, them you are traveling,c and as long as you have had the phone 60 days, paid your bill, and are otherwise in good-standing, they will just give you a code to punch in. Voila, game over you win.

Error 266

Hi guys,

Well have a bit of an issue. First, the unlocker DOES NOT WORK under Windows 7. Then the Radio update unpacks files and deletes them (won't run). We tried taking the unpacked files and running things manually, but it bricked the phone. Ended up having to load the stock radio back from an SD card. Will try to do the update from a "real" XP machine tomorrow.

Happy New Year everybody.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] allengwinn:
Doesn't Work With Windows 7

Again the Rhodium unlocker does not work with Windows 7. It looks like it does, but it doesn't. Ended up having to load the stock radio back from an SD card. I think we'll give it a try from a bona fide Windows XP machine tomorrow sometime.

Sorry for the duplicate.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] allengwinn:
Windows 7 Works Fine

I was brain dead. Windows 7 works fine. After you run the unlocker, you can unpack the files from RhodiumW_WU_205.exe and run the RUU manually, or you can just pull out the .NBH, copy it to the root of an SD card, rename it RHODIMG.nbh, boot the phone into the SPL (power-vol/down) and the radio will update.

Sorry for the brain-deadedness. I hereby submit to the floggings that go along with it. Somebody please delete the previous posts.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dominicanodcora:
it works on my laptop running windows 7. run as administrator
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dominicanodcora:
if i flash a rom i would like to use windows mobile 6.5.3 from ssk will it lock it again?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
only if the radio changes.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
it will but there are steps not included in the original op. 1st, you must have an .rar tool on your pc, because that's the file they send you. 2nd, after paying for the unlocker and getting the file, you must follow step 2 closely, you must follow the prompt on your phone or you will not unlock the security. if you need more, pm me at ppcgeeks.com because i don't check here often....
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] daddylonglegs:
That is really cool. Thank you. But if I buy an AT&T (GSM) SIM card to use in the USA where Verizon service is not available, how do I switch to that SIM card/phone number?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dominicanodcora:
after i did this unlock my phone been acting up. for example its very slow and lags. i believe is the tf3d app that hangs. when i power off the phone and i click yes it hangs. i have to take the battery out. anyone else having this problem?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dominicanodcora:
i have tried both versions and dont sem to see any difference. can someone please tell me wahts the difference? they both hang when i power off my device.

Thank you Thank you Thank you

Tested my friend's AT&T SIM on my Sprint TP2 (shipped ROM)

Everything works (data and phone calls).

Had no problems.Simply switched network to GSM and good to go

All I had to do is a soft reset after switch GSM/CDMA networks
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] liemydude:
anyone able to get data to work on t-mobile? if so how?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] vin255764:
Its in communication manager.

Start/settings/communications/phone/network/mode of operation/gsm only

I was searching for signal too long,so I did soft reset and everything worked on AT&T.I saw 7 available networks on Sprint TP2!!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] liemydude:
For those on AT&T with unlocked Sprint phone using AT&T sim card do you have problems with the signal disconnecting? Do you have to manually reconnect? With T-mobile it keeps dropping signal and I have to manually reconnect it or I dont get phone calls/text messages. Can't get edge to work on it either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] raulsosa:
quick question once you unlock the phone with sim unlocker.... can you switch back to the sprint network again?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
yes. you can switch between the two whenever you like :).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
your band might be incorrect. while in gsm mode, use manual instead of auto. go to gsm/umts services. then tap band and get settings. select gsm(1900+850)+umts(1900+850). you shouldn't have any problems. if you are using a prepaid sim card, data is tricky or non-existent.

not unlocking

I have a brand new, never activated Sprint TP2 which I am trying to unlock. I bought the unlocker and followed all instructions as well as what to do. I have tried contacting olipro but no response?!? I have phoneon, properly synced. Hard reset twice, disconnected fast connection in USB to PC. Did all I know and read to do. Can anyone suggest more? thanks leslie
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] leslie50:
Me again

Is everyone off today? :rolleyes: :confused: Hey Olipro you around please? I tried everything all over again after hard reset and all the steps. I still get the Fatal Error message: "Please make sure the radio on the phone is turned on and device is properly synced; please retry or try resetting the phone" I have not done anything in regards to radio. I am perplexed, please help.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] leslie50:
I solved my own problem. Apologies to Olipro if accepted. Somehow his replies were going to my old email address. All is working. Thanks for your work Olipro and others.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] raulsosa:
thanks for the help!!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] lan_baba:
I think I got the same problem as the one at the first page. The problem is the phone (sprint TP2) is already unlocked when I got it, now I got the same unreadable code error. How do I fix this? Detailed instruction is appericiated.

I think the phone actually is not unlocked when I got it, correct?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
what does your radio say? (go to settings>system>device info). it should say on radio version "1.96.00wu". if it says "1.96.00wv", you are not unlocked.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] lan_baba:
can't even boot up now. :(
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
run the re-locker soldier, it's ok, mine bricked twice trying this. it won't show up under wmdc or activesync, but connect your phone and run the re-locker. it will boot back up. if you need more help or instruction, come to ppcgeeks and pm me. i'm dr.8820 over there and will help you.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] lan_baba:
Thanks very much. Got the TP2 fixed, now it is on ATT now. Need to spend some time to install the GPS, FM Radio, Chinese and Japanese input, a lot app to do.
