[Touch CDMA General] patelaquib:
try this one it works for me!!!

I have got HTC P3050 (TELUS) I have got a procedure to unlock SPRINT TOUCH but anyone can tll me that it will work for TELUS TOUCH i want to use it in India it may be any network

here is the procedure:

I did this for my Sprint Touch. I am still using it in the USA but my phone has been modified to support other carriers with no problem.

The steps are simple:

Here is what you need to do:

1. Download GetSPC(attached below)

2. Unzip to desktop

3. Turn off phone and remove battery.

4. Write down your HEX ESN

5. Power your device back on

6. Connect via ActiveSync or WMDC

7. Copy entire folder to main memory on device.

8. Run GetSPC.exe

9. In the top box type in your HEX ESN(make sure caps is on)

10. Click generate or whatever the button is named

11. The resulting number should be a 6 digit number, your MSL, write it down.

12. Search for, download and install Qualcomm's QPST tool.(not freeware)

THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE VERY DANGEROUS SO MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS EXACTLY.

13. Run QPST Configuration(run as admin if Vista)

14. From the Dialpad, dial ##3424#(##diag#)

15. Connect device to computer via USB(this will install drivers)

16. In QPST Configuration, click ports.

17. Continue to add ports until the QPST Configuration detects your phone

18. Under active phones it should display your phone.

19. Click Start Clients/Service Programming

20. Select phone and click ok.

DO NOT LEAVE FIRST TAB, THE SETTINGS TAB. THIS IS THE ONLY TAB WE WILL NEED TO CHANGE ANY SETTINGS

21. Under the settings tab, click Read from phone.

22. Input your MSL you got from GetSPC earlier.

23. Under codes where it says Service Programming, change this to 000000

24. Click Write to Phone

25. Wait 1 minute

26. Close Qualcomm QPST one window at a time.

27. Disconnect the USB cable from your device

28. Perform Soft reset once

29. Test new MSL(##000000#)

30. If new code does not go through, hard reset.

31. Depending on what device you have, follow the necessary steps to unlock your phone so you can flash a new ROM to it.

32. Install OEM ROM from carrier of choice or build your own custom ROM using the new carrier's information.

33. Follow instructions to flash new OS to device.

34. Call service provider and do some sweet talking to get them to activate the phone on their network. You may need to do some serious sweet talking because Sprint ESNs are not in Verizon's database and vice versa. This goes for all CDMA carriers.

Good luck.

just get the PRL & MDN FROM YOUR NEW CARRIER AND CHANGE IT USING QUALCOMM

IF U GOT CONFUSION JUST REPLY ME

ALSO I DONT OFTEN VISIT COMP.. SO JUST WAIT 4 MY REPLY I WILL DEFINETELY REPLY YOU

GOOD LUCK

ALSO HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
Could you help me with this step? Whenever I do ##778 I get a Verizon recording and it wont let me do anything. Am i doing it wrong?
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
Try using ##778# with no snd. Then you should have the new window pop up.
[Touch CDMA General] patelaquib:
if u dont get a prl just try to connect any of phones running on cellcomm and then read PRL from that phone using QUALCOMM

also if u want to start it to cellcomm then just go there and fill up the forms and tell them to enter your ESN on their network now just install TELUS WM 6.1 ROM and then dial *228 it will automatically download all the PRL,MDN and change all other information

then flash any ROMS you like i basically like NFS FAN V17 ROM

ALSO U SHOULD PROBABLY DIAL ##778# IT WILL OPEN EPST TOOL THEN U WILL NOT HEAR THE RECORDING!!!!!

IF ANY PBL REPLY ME !!!!!!!

WELL HAPPY NEW YEAR
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
The Tellus ROM might work give it a try. and if ##778# still does not work download this and install it to the phone http://www.4shared.com/file/94425378/2fa9fca5/Diagnostic_Program_Shortcuts.html
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
When I do ##778# without hitting send it just sits there. The phone doesnt do anything. Im suppose to be on the phone dial screen right?
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
Goto the link my last post, download, tranfer file to phone unzip it install it to phone. and the in the phones start menu you will have a new file open that and run PST.
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
Ok, done. Now I should edit that with my cellcom data?
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
Yes you will need to edit all the info to match cellcom, if you run into a problem or you do not know it call cellcom and ask them for the info. But to get on their network you will still need to load a cellcom PRL file. Have you found one yet?
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
I have not. Wont they need to register my esn with them in able for me to connect to their network?
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
How would I use Qualcomm to get my PRL? I have 4 phones that are running on the cellcom network, two of which that I can connect to my computer. Any ideas on getting the PRL off of one of those phones? I have a RAZR, LG Spyder, and MOTO Q.

EDIT: I just tried editing the information i have which is NAM1 NAme, NAM1 Home, SID, and NID. and i got an error that said lpm not started or something along those lines. Any ideas?
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
Install QPST on computer

Put phone into diag mode & connect to computer.

computer should connect and find new device

run QPST configururation and add new port till you find your phone.

Now in QPST run from top menu start clients service programing.

Select phone

Read from phone imput spc/msl code 000000.

-read phone

-save qcn file

-open qpst rl editor

-open qcn file

-save prl file

That's how to get your PRL using QPST
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
Should I do that or do what patelaquib said? I just want it to work on my network.
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
Personally I would give patelaquib's suggestion first. It's the easier route. But you will need to use the coke 2.31 unlocker for it. But any route you go just be sure to follow the directions carefully.

If you use QPST be cautious it is a very powerful tool and can brick a phone in a second if you do something wrong.
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
Well I cant use the 2.31 unlocker because im on a 64-bit version of Vista so it wont run.
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
Now that could be a problem.
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
I do have access to other computers. Im just nervous about flashing everything because ive never done it before. The only thing ive done thats close to this is running custom firmware on a PSP.
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
As long as you follow the directions for the unlocker exactly and do EVERY thing it says and when it is very simple. I'm trying to see if I can locate a PRL that I can modify to make yours. Are your PRLs the same on all your phones.
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
Id have to check. I called cellcom today and this time they told me they couldnt, not wouldnt, activate it because its a smartphone from another carrier. So I called my sisters ex who works at cellcom and he told me that he can do it, all i have to do is bring it into them. He says they have the rom for it and everything. So im gonna bring it to them tomorrow and then I plan on changing the rom once I get it back. Thank you so much for all of your help.
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
Good luck! Let us know how it goes. Also see if you can get a copy of the ROM and post it for me. I have a stock ROM collection and who knows maybe it could help someone out.
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
Ill snag the rom for you. Thank you for all of your help. Ill also see if I can still grab the PRL and post that as well incase someone needs it. Thanks.
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
Brought the phone into cellcom yesterday and they couldnt flash their rom to it, they looked very confused because it was locked on there so I took it home, used the Coke unlocker and brought it back to them today. I hope it works. Going to pick it up now.
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
Okay well cellcom put their rom on it and then said it wouldnt activate so in one last desperate attempt i flashed NFS Telus rom and am going to try what was mentioned above. I dont have my ESN registered with Cellcom and when i dial *228 it takes me to Verizon menu. Any ideas?
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
You will need to pull a PRL off one of your other phones and then load it into the Touch. As discribed here Thats most likely why your connecting with VZW.
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
I emailed cellcom and asked them if I can activate my phone myself. Whats the legality on all of this? I just asked if they could register my ESN with their network. I just dont really want to do it without asking and having them get mad and cancel my plan.
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
It is fully legal as long as they will accept the ESN. Many carriers like Sprint and Verizon do not activate foreign ESN's as easily as some of the smaller companies like cricket and Metro PCS. But there is always a way. Persistence is the key!
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
Ok im gonna sound really stupid but here it goes, where the hell is the micro sd slot?
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
Well it's under the trap door on the right side above the camera button. Take the battery cover off and pry it up with your fingernail it will open (fold) towards the battery. It took me a few minutes when I first had one in my hand to find it too.
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
Well i found it but I cant seem to open it lol. Will my method still work eventhough cellcom doesnt have over the air activation?
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
I would say if they will accept the ESN and you can get the PRL loaded onto it you will have at the least talk and text. For data you will need to enter the setting manually and that may be trial and error. But that's how us cricket flashers have hacked all the phones we do for cricket service.
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
Well my dad has data blocked on my plan anyway. I rarely talk on my phone almost all of it is text and music. Im trying to get the gps working but its not going to well without any data. Ive broken all of my nails trying to get this damn door open and its still not open lol
[Touch CDMA General] whitey10tc:
Use your stylus to pry it open or even a razor blade.
[Touch CDMA General] PlaskiBass09:
I am absolutely in love with this phone and this rom. I have the 6.5 rom from NFSfan and it is amazing I love it. The picture display on the main screen and the music player is so cool. Amazing. Im gonna work on getting this on my plan tomorrow as I have the day off. I emailed cellcom tonight to see if I can get my ESN registered. It doesnt seem to be that hard to pull the PRL so im gonna take that off my sisters phone tomorrow and put it on then try the *228 or whatever.
[Touch CDMA General] imdarkside:
sd card

remove the back, place phone on a surface with the back side up, on the stylus side gently pull the side trim piece away from the phone, that should pull the long side trim piece about slightly out. then reach under the front side of that piece and it rotates towards the back of the phone. you need to insert your sd card with the metal contact facing the back. you can use up to a 32gb on wm6.1.

[Android Themes] ryanhhnn:
well done on a detailed and excellent advice. Keep it up :D
[Android Themes] s2welee:
Great tutorial. I have the HardSPL and I am getting the same symtoms. All the themes that I have tried get to the theme splash and then stop. The longest I have allowed one to run is an hour. Do you think that space is still the issue? I am going to try these steps as they cannot hurt, but I thought that I was good with the HardSPL.
[Android Themes] david1171:
the hard spl has the same partition spacing as the stock spl, it is the 1.33.2005 spl that provides more space to system.
[Android Themes] tom_me:
tryed it..

Tried this method and only got darkstar to work for a min then force close when I tried to login to my google account and wouldn't stop force closing....U got any other methods that might work.
[Android Themes] speedysilwady:
Thanks everybody, if you have any other suggestions, ill add them to the first post.

darkstar 0.6.7 is kinda complicated... you said google login so im guessing you wiped before u flashed? normally you shouldnt do that but for this theme i had to, ill explainin the next paragraph, but first of all, did you try to skip the initial sign in and then try to login by clicking on gmail or checking sync settings? i had a similar problem with another theme, and thats how i solved it. let me know if that works.

this is why darkstar 0.6.7 is a little different and more challenging to install compared to most themes (at least for me):

darkstar 0.6.5 flashed fine with me, when i had dwang 1.15 but when i upgraded dwang 1.17.1 and used darkstar 0.6.7, it gave me a little trouble and i had to get a little creative in order to install it properly because for some reason the market app was pushed to ext and it was no longer available after i wiped the ext before, and i kept getting a black screen if i didnt wipe the ext system. so what i did was wipe everything flash the stock rom, backup the market app using astro file manager (some reccomend backup for root users, i havent tried it yet), flashed the theme got a black screen, wiped the ext3, then i reflashed the theme again and i got it working but i was missing market, and i couldnt download astro without market.....unless i went to google using the browser and i looked up astro 2.2.3 apk and i downloaded the app directly to my phone, and restored market. however the market will start force closing even after you run fix_permissions so i went against the rule of wiping after a flash, and i decided to wipe the phone....lo and behold its been running flawlessly ever since, but it took a lot of work, idk why it gave me such a hard time this time, but i managed to get it working. try the first method first and let me know how that goes.
[Android Themes] s2welee:
Thanks, that clears up some confusion.
[Android Themes] tom_me:
got it

Ok the first time I did it I had to wipe cuz it would never get pass the G1 screen and it worked for a min. Now I tried wiping everything and repartition my sd and restored backup and then I flash theme again and reboot. I finally get pass g1 screen then stuck on android screen. I took out the battery reboot and flash theme again reboot, same thing happen then took batt out powered on regularly did it four times and it finally worked.....
[Android Themes] speedysilwady:
im glad u finally got it working. idk why that specific theme was so difficult to install. the g1 screen was still stuck even after you moved the ringtones to sd?
[Android Themes] tom_me:
Yea moved ringtones to sd... and still got stuck......but I think u just need to run the rom for a bit before flashing a theme. But yea it looks great....:) and thanks for the help.

[Android Themes] david1171:
there are a few things that could be removed from the /system partition of dwang's rom.

rm /system/app/GenieWidget.apk

rm /system/app/Maps.apk (since the updates are installed on the /data partition)

rm /system/app/BugReport.apk (its not in cyan's roms anymore)

cp /system/app/Mail.apk /data/app/

rm /system/app/Mail.apk

(cyan did it in his latest release)

(maybe? haven't tested this one)

rm /system/app/LatinImeTutorial.apk

There are probably some more "useless" .apk's that could be removed.
[Android Themes] speedysilwady:
thank you so much for confirming my suspicions. i knew there was more useless stuff in the apps folder but i wasnt sure how to test it all. ill try this method out later tonight and try to flash a large theme and see what happens, ill add this info to the first post tonight!
[Android Themes] speedysilwady:
sorry im late guys ive been pretty busy. i stumbled upon this page on cyanogenmods wiki

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Barebones

it shows which files can be deleted safely out of /system and /dev. im gonna try removing a lot of those apks from my dwang rom and i wanna find a huge theme to flash thats supposed to be used only with danger spl, anyone have any suggestions? i think this might work. btw does anyone know if its possible to make a script to make removing multiple apks easier?

I was downloading email from my POP account to my phone, I've never had any difficulty, and my mailbox was empty. I got to about 13 messages, and I got an error pop up saying : Not enough free memory to download this email.

I have 97 megs free memory according to my phone. I've downloaded over 100 emails at once before, so I'm not sure why I am getting this error. Does anyone have any experience with this, or a fix?

I was going to try that, but I have never hard reset before, and I'm not sure what it does, ie, will I have to re set up all my things etc? I don't have time to re customize everything tonight, I am at work.

isnt that a soft reset?..anyways u wont lose anything it just restarts your phone, u tried deleting the email account and adding it again?

Hi guys, i've just brought a HTCs740, and i dont know if this question has been covered, but just needed help with a small issue im experiancing.

[HD2 General] crapbag172:
Hi guys, im having some weird issues with my internet settings. as standard my tmobile connection is set to use a proxy server. now when it is using a proxy server and i try to send/receive on my email, it comes back saying it cannot connect with my current settings.

so i changed the settings to not use a proxy server and voilla! when i send/recieve it works fine. HOWEVER, without the proxy server, within 2 - 10 minutes the internet refuses to work and wont load any pages. at this point i have to renable the proxy server, but then i cant send/receive my email!

i cant beleive i have a £500 phone which i cannot use to check my email in peace which my 5 year old nokia can handle effortlessly.

has anyone else had these issues or come accross a fix for this??
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
The proxy server address I have for t-mobile UK (which works fine) is 149.254.201.132.

going into advanced it has

http: 149.254.201.132:8080

socks: 149.254.211.10:1080

try those settings.
[HD2 General] crapbag172:
thanks mate, i didnt have anything down under socks so im going to input these details now and see if this fixes it. In your advanced settings are you using socks4 or socks5?
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
Its Socks4

Personally the Nexus's hardware and speed make me feel the hero outdated.

What would you guys think about switching to Nexus from Hero?

EDIT: Please move this thread to other room :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I don't know - should you? ;)

Only you can answer that question! When I bought my Hero, it was the best Android phone on the market - nearly 6 months down the line there are more powerful alternatives (e.g. Milestone, Nexus One etc) and that is hardly surprising.

Personally, I'm going to wait and see how 2.1 pans out for the Hero before jumping ship to something else, but I do expect to be running something different in 6 months time at the outside.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickyasglue:
im not, im going to wait for htc to bring out there next android, i feel as if the nexus hasnt quite been made as good as it could be and htc is holding out slightly, feel its worth waiting for there next one. Also i love my hero its quick enough for me and im sure nexus will be a pain to root for a while.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eabinsan:
it's already rooted. and cyanogen will get one - which means i will ditch my hero and hope to get enough money out of it to make the hit in my budget bearable.

edit: the most compelling reason aside from speed is that HTC is PITA when it comes to releasing the GPL parts.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomrade:
I think he means that is is a google experience phone rather than the Hero is not, ie no sense and stock android. Personally I would wait to see how the HTC Bravo/ Passion is. (its basically the same as the nexus one just with sense and htc stuff)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eabinsan:
how long did the magic guys wait for kernel sources? i was under the impression that the google experience phones always have a working msm kernel? is this a wrong assumption?

Guys, after doing some searching I also like the Milestone :D because of its design.

What do you personally think about the design of the Milestone and nexus? I think Milestone will win because the Nexus looks like plastic (the same as the hero's)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsirhc6x:
i agree milestone or droid or w/e is a slick looking phone! but the ui isnt for me...

also i love sense, and the look of nexus isnt for me eitherr..

i do know that my next phone will prob be htc sense ontop of android 3.0 on a slick looking phone with a 1 ghz processorr! - - cant waiit! haha

so id say if you have to ask, dont bother because soon enough you wont even have to ask yourself, it will be like OMG i neeed that phone! aha

[HD2 Accessories] carryo:
Do screen protectors not impact the capacitive input function?

What thickness protection will allow capacitive input - will the Proporta Mizu Shell for HTC HD2 be thin enough to allow capacitive?

If the protector stops capacitive input will the device still register standard touch input?

you dont need a screen protector for the HD2

the screen is scratch resistance
