I have been searching all of the forums for the last two weeks regarding the TP2 and Sprint service, which on the surface sounded good. I purchased a brand new (in the box advertised as not requiring a contract) TP2 and called Sprint to port my number and was informed that even providing my own (paid for) hardware, they will not activate service without a 2 year contract. I'm stunned! Even Verizon will allow activation of your own handset without a contract. I called the CS line and was told that they will not activate without a contract. I guess I will sell this one and go with Verizon. No wonder Sprint has been loosing customers!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] defaultdotxbe:
IIRC its actually illegal to do that, there was a big class action suit several years ago that forced all cellular providers to allow users to buy the phones and activate without contract

FWIW i activated my TP2 without a contract, i already had sprint (my previous 2 year contract was up and i have the 30 dollar SERO plan so i didnt want to change)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] badong1050:
bs. all of my phones have been activated without 2 year. ive been with sprint 8 years.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Matthew1034:
You can activate the phone online.

I, too, recently activated my TP2 w/Sprint after being out of contract for just over a year. You probably fell on bad luck talking to people who were out of the loop. There are some corporate Sprint stores in malls (not kiosks) that will hook you up.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] timm9:
I actually started with a Sprint store ( 2 hour drive) as I intended to port my number. The Sprint employee at the store is the one that first informed me of the 2 year contract requirement. I then tried CS on their toll free number. The CS person was very polite, and did put me on hold while she supposedly spoke with a supervisor, but the answer was still 'no contreact, no service'. Considering that we do not have GSM service in our area, my only option is to get rid of this phone and go with Verizon. At least I know they will activate my equipment without a contract. It will be interesting to see if the legislation currently being considered by Congress will also include regulation over some of the policies of the cell carriers...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] timm9:
Do you have a link to that legal decision? I have been searching all morning looking for the case, and court ruling. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] outbackvandy:
this is interesting information, do u mind sharing the actual court ruling document?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] defaultdotxbe:
i dont remember the details, it was between when i got my first and second cell phone, my first you couldnt just buy a phone, they would only sell you a phone if you got a contract, and when i got my second you could buy the phones (for like $200 more) and activate without a contract, and i was told it was because of a lawsuit

this all like 10 years ago though, so i dont know if that was even the case

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] IM0001:
Sometimes to get a good deal or something usually requires a 2year contract. No big deal IMO since I have no interest in leaving Sprint anytime soon. Another plus was I was able to get ahold of the department that does discounts and such. (2 years ago I got called for a survey in exchange for a 10% discount). It disapeared from my bill and since I didn't know it was a 2 year only discount (thus the reason for the 2 year contract renewal when they first asked) I asked if there was any way to get another discount. The woman on the phone was really helpful and hooked me up with a $10 off discount for another 2 year contract. HELL YA! So now I have a 1250 Sero plan + $7 insurance - $10. On the bill for April my total after tax, fees, etc was exactly $50.00 on the dot. Love Sprint, Love their service, and their phones are getting better and better. (TP2 has been sweet and the EVO looks ever sweeter. As long as they hook it up with some dang good WM7 phones this summer I can see they have learned a lot about getting into the market with a damn good device to keep competitive.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] KidGusto:
you need a contract with sprint to get service. They dont do month to month plans.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sh1tat:
THATS THE BIG PROBLEM WITH SPRINT THEY HIRE SOME OF THE DUMBEST CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE,but when i have problems i go into the store BECOUSE I KNOW THE PEOPLE THERE HAVE THEIR BRAIN CELLS AND THEY TAKE GOOD CARE OF ME.Sprint has its drawbacks but what company doesnt overall im very satisfied with the company i mean verizon may have better service in my area but they cost more and i have free roaming so now i have better service and im content
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] timm9:
At this point I have returned the TP2, and have gone with Verizon without a contract. On this site a post indicated that the 'contract required' is no longer legal based on litigation, but it's not worth my time and energy to fight over it. Like my wife said, "After all this, why would you want to do business with Sprint"?

That about sums it up...

Thank you all for the responses!

Existing Customer - New Customer

I read through some of the posts. I have activated several phones with Sprint, out of contract. I have 4 lines with Sprint, and I've not been on contract with them for maybe 3 years now. During this time I have activated maybe 6-8 different phones that I have bought on my own (usually on ebay), and never once been required to enter a contract.

The difference with me (and most other respondents) and yourself is we are existing Sprint customers; we have gone through our 1yr or 2yr contract with Sprint.

Verizon is obviously different in that, if you don't get a free or discounted phone from them, then you can obtain service without a contract.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] LordLugard:
Those of you sharing experiences of not signing a contract when swapping ESn's are off track here.

O.P is NOT an existing customer (*mentions porting his number to Sprint) and was wanting to join Sprint as a new customer but with his own Sprint handset. Sprint does not do month to month service (anymore, though they use to for an additional $10/month yrs ago).

Any current Sprint customer can change out hardware as much as they want and they're not required to modify their contracts. But a new customer joining Sprint whether he/she is bringing their handset is being required to sign a contract, it seems.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
this is true to a certain extent....if you bring a line from a shared account into a separate (new) line but have bad credit, you only have to sign a 6 month contract and go month to month from there. (trust me, i know :))
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] brooklyncat:
This is really on how you play it out man. You can't give up like that homie. Really someone gave you bad info in the first call. You have to be in a contract to get service. But you can get out your contract really easy down the road. If you sign up you have 30 days to kill your service no questions. So if you were going to leave them someone might fix it for you spri-nt is dumb like that. But you have to keep calling you might get someone who is like F&*k my job I'm doing what ever today I'm going to quit. Talk to a female, guys their be tryin to mr tough I know everything you know.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] bcbarlow7737:
Just wondering and thinking out loud i guess but you could goto a sprint store or online get a crappy feature phone with the cheapest plan that meets your needs then go online and activate your TP2 or whatever smartphone you want. I mean you will be stuck with sprint for 2 years but there prices are really good and if you want to switch devices again say when WP7 comes out your going to have to buy it used or pay full price again anyway idk just my 2 cents

sorry to revive a dead thread

while sprint has always bent over backwards to help me out other providers with whom i dealt to help out friends and family seem to tun around with their heads so far up their ass they need a glass stomach to keep from running into things.

i switched out my iphone 3g with an HD2 phone, and so far i like the phone itself. except one thing irritates the crap out of me and makes me just about want a different phone. when texting, or doing ANYTHING on the phone for that matter, and i get an incoming text message, the phone completely freezes up for almost up to 10 seconds. every single time. this is quite irritating and i've searched and searched and searched for fixes to this problem. is there anything out there to remedy this problem? or am i going to be plagued with it for an unset amount of time?
[HD2 General] G-ThGraf:
Hi guy!

I remember that i have this "lag" in official ROM with 1.66 base, but now in 2.10 ROM the contact was update and it's really faster!

Wich rom are you using?
[HD2 General] -Torres-:
thank you for the quick reply. my version is 2.13.531.1

here's the full info of my phone

OS - 5.2.21892

manila - 2.5.20121412.2

rom - 2.13.531.1

radio - 2.10.50.26

protocol - 15.39.50.07U
[HD2 General] G-ThGraf:
That's really strange! Because since 2.10 i think that the lag was remove!

Then if you can (and want) you can flash your ROM with a cooked ROM!

(You're on TMO official ROM no?)

If you need help to chose a ROM i can help you!
[HD2 General] -Torres-:
what effects/benefits would flashing with a cooked rom do? i'm new to this type of format

and yes i am. i've owned the phone for only a week or two.
[HD2 General] -Torres-:
ah nevermind, i looked it up. they're basically custom roms, yes? so i guess the task would be to find the right rom
[HD2 General] G-ThGraf:
Custom ROM included lastest driver and update. Many tweaks or mod are cook in so it's works better than a basic cab!

The good Cook ROM offers you better memory beacause deleted some useless files, so fatser and stable for somes ROM. The HD2 was my first WM Phone (iPhone 3Gs before) i was afraid to use a cooked rom and now i'm addicted!

Only advantage so in Cook ROM (if it's a good ROM)
[HD2 General] G-ThGraf:
Yes it's like an official ROM but with some Tweak and mod (like Cookies Home Tab)

Personnaly i'm using

Clean EX ROM and Hyper ROM it's a 6.5.x roms but clean EX do 6.5 roms (like officiel)

6.5.x are more finger friendly

[HD2 General] The36thChamber:
ive been having same problem lately when texting. but all this ROM stuff kind of scares me a lil i dont really know what im doin, any advice on installing that stuff?
[HD2 General] -Torres-:
ok so i've tried to flash a rom about 4 times. couple times with chucky, and once with the ManiLess rom and everytime i get stuck. my phone goes through the 4 color screen, then HTC shows up on my phone with the progress bar (progress bar also shows up on my PC), but after a time, it stops responding and i must take my battery out and turn it back on to recover it. the RUU and the .nbh files are the only two files in the directory. i even tried using a different RUU than the one that came with the cooked ROM, but still does not work.

:confused: what could i be missing? i think i'm going to try one more time with a different ROM and see what happens
[HD2 General] -Torres-:
so far in my experience it's pretty straight forward. you have a single .nbh file which is the rom, then an RUU application that should be in the same folder that launches a wizard and you just make sure your phone is plugged into the PC and synced and it does it all for you. but just so far for me it gets stuck.

here's a video that shows a guy doing it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vh7GAx_lZE&feature=player_embedded

clicks accept twice, then it automatically does it. mine just gets stuck at the HTC screen on the phone :(
[HD2 General] G-ThGraf:
Hum wich rom have you choose?

-So first you HSPL your phone (but you already do that so... go next step)

-second you need to task 29 your phone (clean beforme flashing)(by doolop)

-after you need flash your ROM and Radio ROM (if it's needed)

-And you can make an HardReset (after flashing) because some guys recommend that but i never do this and i never have problem!

And have fun!

So wich ROM? IS it possible that you make a short video?
[HD2 General] G-ThGraf:
Why SSPL? HSPL is much better!
[HD2 General] -Torres-:
i just saw HSPL, and that was the next method i was going to try. i'm going to try the black dse one again. the same one you have. i like the darker theme to it
[HD2 General] -Torres-:
ok i'm giving up for the night. i have SPL 2.10, so i gotta downgrade, right? i'll look into that tomorrow...i've been staring at this screen for way too long haha.
[HD2 General] -Torres-:
hmmmm...further research says since i have SPL 2.10, there's no way to downgrade to 2.8 or lower, is there? so i'm stuck with 2.10 until an HSPL is released for it (if one even becomes released)?

I tried to flash the new recovery image for Amon- Ra and I have now lost my recovery image. I did see the thread giving instructions on possible fixes and it seemed to work for some, but I am having no luck, because I dont have access to install adb at my location.

On to my problem I am now not able to update any of my apps, and I was not able to un-root to start over. I have tried many different times through the console (terminal emulator) to reflash the proper image, but I have had no luck. So now i feel i screwed myself, because I was not able to get firerats script to work. Can anyone help me with this.

I have a Mytouch 3g I have stock radio and spl 8g cls 6 sd running superbad 1.3
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rynosaur:
Sounds like you need to flash a good hardSPL in terminal and then with fastboot-usb, flash recovery.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxforya:
Hard SPL

Do you know where I can find a good one. And doesnt it require me to have a working recovery in-order to flash the spl???

thanks for your response.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rynosaur:
Anything that can be flashed in recovery/console/terminal can be flashed (more safely, according to lbcoder, ezterry, etc) in fastboot-usb. So you want to use the .img file out of this zip and flash it in fastboot to the hboot partition. This spl is a recoded sapphire 2005 hboot, made to look like 2004 -- for DVT board 32As, but less risk of crossing wires with radio, AFAIK. The second one is just a straight-up 2009, which is pretty current. I assume you have a Sapphire MT3G, not a Magic MT3G (Fender/v1.2) because I wouldn't count on these files working for you. If you happen to have DangerSPL installed (although that's not necessary with MT3G) check the rooting/SPL instructions on that forum to make sure these files are right. Good luck!

NOTE: Here's a good Wiki on SAFELY flashing hboot/radio/recovery images that I found in Firerat's sig. As someone who has bricked a G1 by willy-nilly flashing, I implore you to have a look-see:

BUT, no adb , so chances are no fastboot..........

OP needs to get over the adb issue
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rynosaur:
Hmmm, I remember that way back in the day, JF included native ADB access in first custom RC30 Roms and then he packaged it into his custom recovery, but I don't know if losing a recovery image means losing ADB access and therefore fastboot access whatsoever?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxforya:
Ill have to check

I have used adb before but Im not at my personal computer so I am not able to utilize the adb shell, and the computer that I am using, I do not have access to install. Is there another option that does not require adb, or is there a reason that I cant flash a sappimg file unroot, and start over???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rynosaur:
No problem at all doing that, nbh overwrites radio, hboot, recovery. Just make sure you have the rooting files stored locally, i.e. custom rom, custom recovery, custom/hard/eng SPL, new radio, recovery test keys, etc.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firerat:

no adb = no fastboot

straight after you do that

I think I have the same problem as described.

I didn't follow the recovery update instructions correctly, and used ADB while booted in instead of from recovery. Got the "Out of memory" error, and now cannot access recovery.

Tried fastboot but keep getting "FAILED (remote: not allow)". Is this due to not having an engineering SPL (mine is HBOOT-1.33.0006 SAPP30000), or bad USB cable?

I might've gotten through. Currently reformatting my sdcard so I haven't gone to recovery to find out.

Basically, during normal bootup, my phone will make a notification sound of the sdcard being ready while the screen is showing the boot animation (not the carrier splash screen). After the sound happened, I adb'd and made a successful flash, no "out of memory" error.

Don't know yet if it worked as of writing this, going to take at least 30 min to get the sdcard stuff done.
