[Touch Pro2 CDMA] MadBeef:
I'm no expert but it sounds like you may have flashed a CDMA Rhodium with GSM firmware. I had a quick look and it seems the Sprint Rhodium is CDMA, you should have a look at the CDMA Rhodium forum here:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517

I'm not totally sure of the GSM / CDMA thing because I'm not in the U.S. it's not something I need to worry about.

Good luck dude :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] MadBeef:
Yeah the more I look at this, the more I am convinced this is what has happened.

You used CDMA HardSPL (RhodiumWUnlocker)

Then flashed a CDMA ROM (Energy.RHOD500 ...)

but your mistake was to flash a GSM Radio ROM (I followed the URL you gave and up popped the GSM Radio ROM thread)

I don't know if this is recoverable but searching the CDMA forum would be a good start. You can't be the first person this has happened to.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] shenriquez84:
Thanks for the response, but I am certain I flashed the correct ROM.

*I went to the wingster website

*I selected CDMA ROM's

*Clicked on EnergyROM Leo

*Clicked on Download - Hotfile.com

*Selected this ROM: Energy.RHOD500.23529.Leo_MaxManila.16.Feb.2010.rar

When I flashed this ROM, the phone loaded up without any issues. The only problem was that I could not make calls because it could not detect the AT&T SIM card. So I flashed the radio shown on the post from xda, and the PC said congratulations, everything is complete and good. At this time, the cell phone rebooted and it just never came back on.

Thanks for the help!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] shenriquez84:
Thanks MadBeef, I will research the CDMA forum.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] MadBeef:
The Main ROM you flashed was fine. It's the Radio ROM you flashed that killed it, because your phone is CDMA hardware but now it has GSM Radio ROM on it. That's my theory anyway, I'm hoping someone a bit more experienced with CDMA will be able to chime in.

If you can get back into the bootloader somehow, you should be able to flash a CDMA Radio ROM.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] akademik_acheeba:
I only read the first line of your problem...sprint to at&t...it can never happen. Sprint is cdma which has no sim and at&t is a gsm which has a sim. You better have insurance so you can run over your now "speed bump" and get a new one.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
ROM fine.

Radio ROM = BAD.

RHOD400 and RHOD500 are the model numbers for the Sprint and Verizon TP2s respectively. Other carriers also share these model numbers, but those are the big two.

The Radio ROM you flashed however is for the GSM only TP2, not the combo CDMA/GSM TP2 that you have.

Flashing that Radio ROM was a HUGE no-no. Boom.

You should put a little more time into research before jumping in with the flip comments.

1) Sprint does have SIM cards. I've got one in my hand. (No, they're not used in all phones of course, but Sprint does have their own).

2) The Sprint Touch Pro 2 can very well be used on ATT once it is security unlocked and a patched Radio ROM is flashed. To say "it can never happen" is flat out wrong because it's been happening for a few months.

3) The CDMA Touch Pro 2 models (RHOD400 and RHOD500) aren't just CDMA. They are CDMA/GSM/UMTS worldphones, supporting operation in all three modes.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] shenriquez84:
I'm Sorry Gamescan if I did not understand correctly. Does this mean there is no help? There's absolutely nothing I can do to revert this and fix it?

I really appreciate all the help!!

I wanted to reply to Akademik's comment, but I didn't have time. This is not the first phone I flash, but it is the first CDMA/GSM phone. I know this phone is dualmode, else I wouldn't have bought it to use it in AT&T.

Thanks again!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
Can you connect to it via a mtty terminal?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] MadBeef:
I don't know if the SD card flash method would work here. If it were my phone I'd try it, but if it's not getting as far as the bootloader I think the chances are slim :( Maybe while there is no SIM card in it, give the radio ROM less to do?

Found some CDMA radios here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=90342

Sounds like you might be screwed :( but there's a few ideas you can try. Good luck.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] MadBeef:
I knew that would get a mention sooner or later :( uh oh hehe
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] shenriquez84:
Sorry, but what's a mtty terminal? That's new material for me...

and as Madbeef said, I have no access to the bootloader screen. I'm pressing all possible combinations of keys, and nothing.

Thanks again.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] akademik_acheeba:
this result is based on shenriquez american flag in his pro. basically saying hes in america using an american sprint tp2 and trying to use american att service.

gamescan, if i said it cant be dont its quite obvious ive done research through trials and also working a phone carrier for 3 years before finding a better job...THIS CANNOT BE DONE. the dual mode in the sprint tp2 is ment for when people travel to europe, they can pop their "european sim" in and be on their merry way. european cell towers accept the frequency of the sprint tp2 and establish a connection. the US towers have "locked out" tmo and att from being used in the sprint tp2. the reason why you found att on connection setup was that your phone was basically saying" yes att is here, but your not connecting". shenriquez i followed the link to the radio you flashed before you got "shut off". you shouldnt have flashed a GSM radio on a SPRINT TP2...you are bricked my dude. you gave your phone a seizure man.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
Google mtty (or search for it on here).

Short version it's text based, but it's pretty much the lowest level access that a consumer can get to a HTC device without ripping the sucker open, manually desoldering the flash chip and putting in another.

If you're not getting the tri-color bootloader screen, there is still the possibility of saving it via terminal commands, but it's not straightforward (and depending on what happened it is certainly NOT guaranteed).

Only it can be done.

With the tools mentioned in this here very forum.

Any many people have done it.

Again, you're not doing your research and making claims that are flat out wrong.

1) The Sprint TP2 hardware does support the US GSM frequencies.

2) The Sprint TP2 hardware does not ship with a SIM lock.

3) The Sprint TP2 hardware does ship with the two US GSM frequencies disabled in software.

4) If you pay for the Olinex security unlocker you can easily flash a patched radio ROM which re-enabled the two disabled frequencies.

About the only correct thing said in the post above is that he should not have flashed a radio ROM from a GSM-only TP2 to a CDMA/GSM combo TP2. The two devices do have different hardware so flashing the wrong drivers *IS* a BAD THING(tm).

But, assuming you have paid for the security unlocker, flashing a Sprint TP2 with an updated radio ROM is stupid easy and once you've done that making it work on ATT or TMO in the US requires nothing more than slotting in an active SIM card and switching the phone to GSM mode.

If you don't know the answer to something, please feel free to ASK about it, but don't make unfounded and incorrect statements. When you state an absolute that is false it just spreads misinformation which makes things confusing for other users, especially those new to the device.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] akademik_acheeba:
Prove your lame theory. Links that sprint gsm will connect to US towers. Even links in "this very forum". Different frequencies dude.:rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sunNsnow:
My two cents -- as I am new, too -- but I ran into a similar situation trying to update the radio on my Verizon TP2 due to 1X issues. My phone is unlocked as I was running Mighty but decided to return to stock (6.1).

Note: my SIM is not unlocked. If I understand correctly, the SIM needs to be unlocked to be able to install a radio from a different carrier, like Sprint.

[As a side note: I think these forums use the term "radio" a little too loosely because the program to unlock the phone to be able to flash unsigned ROMs is also called a "radio" unlocker.]

Back on topic: I flashed my phone with and

unlocked radio

2.23.00WU and the result was similar to what happened to your phone: it did not turn on, orange light was on.

I was able to flash stock ROM back onto the phone using the USB cord and the phone is back to normal. Even though it was basically non-responsive except for the orange light.

My phone is in working order after the wrong radio incident.

I hope this helps.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
If you believe that you're obviously flat out lying when you make the claim of having worked for a carrier for three years, because no one who worked for a wireless carrier could possibly be this ignorant about how GSM works. It's either that or you're purposely posting false information in a lame attempt to screw with the newbies on this site.

The Sprint TP2 hardware supports all four GSM frequencies - 850, 900, 1800, 1900. You can pull up any spec sheet on the model to see that. This isn't exactly hidden information.

Sprint disables the US frequencies in firmware.

If you are security unlocked you can flash one of the two patched radios in the sticky thread in this forum.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=578659

Then you toss an active SIM card into the phone and turn it on while in the US. Set it to GSM mode and bam, you're on a US tower.

Your claim is the equivalent of running around screaming "The sky is GREEN because I say it is! The sky can't be blue. That's false!"

The phone needs to be security unlocked to flash a different radio. If it is not security unlocked a unsigned radio will cause the boot sequence to fail. Flashing a carrier provided radio will restore the phone to service.

Security Unlocking means setting the phone to SuperCID. It is different than SIM unlocking.

SIM unlocking allows you to use different SIM cards. It does not allow you to flash unsigned radios.

The Olinex unlocker will both security unlock you (SuperCID) and SIM unlock you (if needed).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] el_venga:
if device was security unlocked and is detected by pc, most likely it can be recovered by mtty. unlike my case where device was not sec unlocked but its detected by mtty using usb or serial. bad news is it would be very hard to recover, im doing some jtag research first, at least i found the pins but no pinout.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] akademik_acheeba:
thats for a radio not rom. find the cdma rom that allows you to use a gsm sim. you cant use the cdma rom over att network...and that link you posted, there are no success stories in it, only complaints. you have no idea what you are talking about. you sit there posting false statements and trying to sound smart with your handy thesaurus. stop posting false statements lame.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] hindibuff:
Dude!! Go to sprint website and read the description of the touch pro 2. It's called a "world phone" for a reason. It does support both GSM and CDMA. Sprint doesnt want any US GSM carrier to be able to turn this phone on, in their network, so they have disabled that frequency in the radio ROM. However, the world frequencies are there and I have personally used this phone on GSM in Australia last week.

There IS a hack to install a new radio which does not disable US carriers frequencies. Once that is done, the phone will work on ANY GSM in USA including yours.

From Sprint website:

International Phone

Comes loaded with a SIM card for traveling abroad, expanding your mobile office outside the U.S.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] JohnnyFucknuts:
hindibuff is correct. There are workarounds to get a US SIM card to work but, BY DEFAULT, Sprint has disabled that ability in the stock ROM/Radio.

Again, please read this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=578659, and try it for yourself to see that it works.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] raynda:
Hi!

I've finally gotten my Hero fully working on Sprint, so now I can finally get full usage out of this awesome phone!

I've been trying out different ROMs and so far I'm sticking between Modaco and Fresh's 1.5 ROMs. (I tried a few of the 2.1 builds and they're awesome but I need my camera to work!)

Anyhow, I'm new to Android and Widgets and Scenes and all this, and I'm wondering what my fellow Heroes are doing to get the most out of their phones.

How do you guys organize your 7 pages? Does anyone have their Scene customized perfectly for their use? I'd love to see some screenshots of what you consider to be your perfect and most efficient setups. I'm looking for ideas on the best ways to place my shortcuts and widgets, and if anyone can recommend some aftermarket widgets, I'd love to hear about it!

This is an amazing phone.

I am waiting to see on which service it will be released. I'm hoping t-mobile, but many doubt it...

The bands that it runs on, what service are they compatible with in the US?

I'm sure people (me?) will purchase this phone from different places and would want to use it in America.

What 3g would it be compatible with, if any?

Telstra Desire to At&t 3G

This may be a bit of a jump

But it looks like Telstra (AU) will be one of the early release partners for the Desire... I believe they run a 850 Mhz 3g band...

At&t is largely 850 Mhz as well..

Assuming that it works as well as the HD2 did (Telstra HD2s seem to work pretty well on At&t), we may have a US 3G Desire sooner than we thought...

The strange part is that HTC has directly said that a US 3g version is not in the plans any time soon, but if they already have one with the correct band...(yes I know it's not 100% right, but it still seems strange)

Thoughts?
[Desire General] Funk2641:

[Desire General] SlimJ87D:
T-Mobile already has the Nexus one. AT&T has said they are pushing for an Android Nexus one competitor. Doesn't it make sense that the Desire is it? I dont' see T-Mobile getting the Desire at all.

Verizon is getting the Nexus one, Sprint is getting the Hero 2. These are confirmed. The Desires only home right now is AT&T.

Exchange Support

I've been reading up on the phone vs. the Nexus One and the press releases are stating that HTC beefed up the Exchange support in this build.

Can anyone running the leaked build comment on that support? Does it support subfolders? Calendar? Tasks?

I'd rather not have to buy a 3rd party app to get this -basic- Exchange functionality!
[Desire General] tjp888:
I too, would like to know how this. I have read that the Sense UI adds Calendar syncing to the Mail and Contact syncing that the N1 has.

Does it also add the ability to access the Global Address List?
[Desire General] xREVOx:
only difference in the new exchange support is that it allows for peak and off-peak scheduling. everything else is the same.
[Desire General] ritdaw:
I believe it also has task sync too...

Search for exchange on this page:

http://www.buzzcritic.com/gadgets/htc-desire-official-nexus-one-with-htc-sense
[Desire General] XDAgeek:
If we can go by the software in the very similar new HTC Legend, then it does Mail, Calendar and Contacts, but not Tasks.

You can read up on this for yourself in the new online manuals for the Legend. Just go to the HTC website and look for the Legend Manuals under support.

The same situation occurs for the iPhone/iTouch. In that case, there is an excellent 3rd party application called IMExchange which syncs tasks to the mobile device using WebDav, the OWA API. In practice this works well.

Hopefully someone will do the same for Android.
[Desire General] mazzarin:
Ah, the thing that's most important to me is subfolders, and it looks like it's not supported by default. Oh well.
[Desire General] XDAgeek:
I believe it does support folders. Brightpoint has an article reflecting this.

I am a new user here so cant post urls yet, but if you google "android 2.1 exchange folders", the first reply is from brightpoint and show screen grabs including folder support.

HSPA support

According to HTC, the Desire won't support 3G in USA.

HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Could someone explain me why as it has exactly the same chips and the same hardware as the Nexus One ?

Why no 1700 MHz ?

I live in Birmingham and I'm always getting problems on T-mobile with 3G. Sometimes I can't get 3G at all and it will drop to 2G. Problem is I live in Birmingham City Centre which as you can imagine being the Second City is fine on every other network, even getting full HSDPA speeds on most

5 or 6 times during my contract period (am on month 13) I've also had the signal drop. Completely no signal, no calls or texts, no internet. I've had to "Force only 2G Networks" in order to get a signal back :(

I also wouldn't go for T-Mobile because they'll most likely rename it from the HTC Bravo to something daft like T-Mobile G3 Touch 3G and remove all HTC branding and replace it with the T-Mobile logo, although this might not bother you :P

It is 500Mb and has been for for at least a year, not that bad when you consider that Vodafone is also only 500Mb and they are probably the only 2 networks I would look at.

O2's network is a complete joke speeds are so slow who cares if they give you more bandwidth when you struggle to use it.

T-Mobile has poor customer service and is in the process of a merger with Orange

Personally I find 500Mb more than enough and if I am using lots of data I just use WiFi so have never gone over that limit
