[Q] Choosing the Correct ROM for Touch Pro2

Hi
I got a Sprint HTC Touch Pro2 which is unlocked and i use it in India using the GSM feature of the phone using SIM card. The phone came with a WM6.5 OS, i decided to flash the phone with custom ROM's, here are my few queries
1. In my case where i use the phone using SIM, should i use the GSM ROM or CDMA ROM?
2. Whenever i reboot the phone, it tries to contact the provider (Sprint) for Handsfree activation, How can i turn this OFF?
3. When the phone is rebooting, i get the Sprint splash screen, can i turn this OFF?
4. The first time Hardspl was intalled (paid in a store to get it installed), he installed a Hardspl that says "Test Only ROM not for sale" when rebooting, is that normal behaviour?
Phone Details -
RHOD400 32M SS-BC
SPL - 1.00.Olinex
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MicroP(Key) 0x04
TurboHW/TurboSW
There is some TP MFC Date (let me know if i need to provide)
Software Info
OS Version - 5.2.23544(23544.5.5.0)
Manila Version - 2.5.2.121225.0
ROM Version - 3.04.605.3 WWE
ROM Date - 02/21/2010
Radio Version -1.96.00WF
Appreciate if can suggest the correct HardSPL for Manila or Energy ROM's.
Thanks

one. only use cdma roms. flashing a gsm rom would brick your phone.
two. settings --> personal --> phone --> network --> mode of operation --> gsm/umts only --> you can manually select network or allow it to automatically select.
three. easiest way... i suggest a program called bsb tweaks. found here.
four. i havent ever heard of paying for hardspl install. so unsure. though. i suppose as long as it works... no use fretting over it? else you can (re)cdma hardspl, here.
remember. only use cdma roms.
a list of a collection of cdma roms can be found here.
i also suggest task29 before you flash new roms. can be found here.

Which Andoid Version? GSM or CDMA
HTC TOUCH PRO 2/SPRINT
So before installing Android ROM onto my SD card, I flashed and unlocked my phone including the radio allowing it to use a SIM Card in the states.
I changed the Radio Settings To GSM.
1. Windows Mobile works fine with no issues. Phone works great.
2. When I load Android from the boot application it runs fine.
2.1 Issues: I can not get a Tmobile signal while in Android. I pick up Cingular and ATT and some other provider I've never heard of, but I can not connect to TMobile.
Wifi Works great.
I Installed the CDMA Android ROM, Will it brick if I install GSM Android ROM.
Any suggestions would be very helpful !
Thanks in advance.

Need help with rom for I497

Im working on making a rom for the I497 using the kitchen
Im so far that I have a flashable working rom
Only have one issue that the radio does not work (or sim)
baseband version is unknown, and basicly all radio related info shows unknown under the about device tab and status
wifi works fine ,but it seems the radio is non existent
When I tab on the mobile network option it tells me I have to insert a sim to access network services
The sim is in and when I restore back a working version it all works fine
This rom is a extracted version of my tablet of the 4.1.2 jb update we had recently
I have to have a deodexed version before i can change things like voice capable
there are no jb custom roms available for this tablet ,so with my non existing knowledge i had to dive in to unknown territory
So far i got everything set up including mount paths etc , but somehow there is a link to the radio missing ????
Any help will be appreciated

what's causing slow network speeds?

I'm running the KitKat+ ROM I found in the development section plus faux kernel, I flashed over jellybean and applied fix v2 so I'm getting no problems uninstalling apps or entering security settings. Thing is when I'm at home or even outside I get really slow network speeds of about 0.4 Mbps down,and in settings-aboutphone-status it switches between hspa and hspa+,but down the road about 350 metres at my kids school I get up to 7 Mbps down,I'm just wondering what version of the moto g is this KitKat+ rom based on,I own the UK retail version and was thinking if its based on a us version would it cause problems with connecting to a UK network or have problems with hspa+ in the UK based on what base this ROM is using,just throwing it out there.

Have you tried setting it to GSM auto (PRL) ?
My previous phone (HTC One X+) was running BlackBean rom and was set to CDMA by default, meant that i had to reset to GSM after every reboot.

I have experienced this also on a UK XT1032 running US Global GSM 4.4.2 - Data works but often slowly and stops entirely for periods of time. I had assumed it was the ROM and I'm waiting for the UK 4.4.2 stock firmware image which I expect will solve it. Perhaps unrelated, but I've noticed Opera Mini will not work over 3G in this ROM, but it works fine on Wifi.
EDIT: I was just thinking; that by fastboot flashing the Stock US firmware image, the UK modem firmware may also have been replaced. That could explain the problems. Flashing back the 4.4.2 UK modem firmware might fix it.
My Baseband version:
MSM8626BP_1032.340.63.00R​
Can someone with a US Global GSM XT1032 confirm their Baseband version? Nevermind, confirmed via google. UK Tesco XT1032 running 4.4.2 also has the same Baseband version.
You could try flashing the UK stock 4.4.2 'NON-HLOS.bin' which appears to include the modem firmware. However if I remember correctly, flashing an incorrect radio firmware is one of the few ways to irrecoverably brick a handset.
Safest bet is to wait for the full UK stock 4.4.2 firmware image and fastboot flash that. In future when you flash a different ROM, i.e CM11, you are likely to use CWM/TWRP and the existing UK modem / radio firmware will remain untouched.
If someone wants to correct me on this, please do.

[Q] P3100 can't make or receive calls after official update. What to do?

The provider specific SIM menu is available, but the tablet shows no signal. Even when it shows one, the signal disappears the moment I try to make a call or am about to receive one. The caller can still hear ringing while the tablet lists the call as missed call.
My father's Galaxy Tab 2 7" automatically tried updating through wifi but failed (I presume), and the SIM functions stopped working.
After many attempts I updated it through OTA to the latest firmware, shown as PDA:NA3 / PHONE:LK1 / CSC:NB1 (INU) in Kies, and the Android version was listed as 4.1.2., but the problem persisted.
I tried to wipe cache. It didn't sort the problem.
Then I Installed CWM 6.0.7 and Cyanogenmod 10.1 (JB 4.2.2) using this tutorial: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p3100
Still it can't make or receive calls.
Baseband version is listed as p3100ddclk1
What to do?
Is this a hardware or firmware problem?

Hey brother,
Even I am facing the same order on my tab but in a different way. I can recieve signal for the carrier Tata Docomo but other carrier are showing any sign of life
But sometimes while on tata docomo , I lost signals while using data or when I got a call. And one more thing, I was on a trip to a hill station and there I was getting signals from Vodafone perfectly (my main service provider). But when I came back from there I ain't receiving any peice of signals from vodafone and Docomo is working as usual with few network losses during the day.
PS.- I ain't received any solution yet, still sticking up with that problem.
PPS.- The tab I brought is in used condition with the fact that the tab has that problem in it. (I need not to pay much lol)
Btw I think if we can flash new firmware (official) with odin with modem file, It may sokve our problem. TRY FLASHING FIRMWARE, I cant as I am low on speed

I am not sure about the Model file alone but you can download whole firmware from sammobile.com, they have firmware of all Samsung devices region wise, just login to enjoy better speed.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Huawei Y511-T00 Firmware / ROM's

Hello all and thanks for reading. I am hoping I can get some guidance and some sort of solution.
Long story short while in China I purchased a Y511-T00 instead of a Y511-U00. The first issue was upon returning home i realized I had no 3G. That I can live with using a MiFI device.
The problem I am facing is the Rom is laggy and it seems to be a half baked rom that was ported perhaps so the phone would be in english.
Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn do not stay logged in when I restart.
Launcher sometimes freezes or goes blank for about 5-10 seconds
Contacts dont always show with a number immediately.
I am desperately in search of a Stock Rom with the regular Huawei Emotion UI or any other rom that may be more stable and user friendly. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Alternatively does anyone know if i can use the U00 firmware on a T00 phone? I am worried I may brick the device if I start doing trial and error.
My phone details are as follows
Model Number : HUAWEI Y511-T00 (China Mobile)
Android version : 4.2.2
Baseband version MOLY.WR8.W1319.MD.TG.MP.V4.P18 , 2013/07/31 15:37
Kernel Version 3.4.5
Build Number : Y511-U30V100R001C328B120
Hardware version : VER.A

Anyone have any idea? I tried using google launcher but it tells me that I already have a default launcher and yet in applications there is no default set and the button is greyed out.

anyone idea please?

have the same phone which is rooted & I know of some stock ROMs which can be flashed with HiSuite.
I am a bit confused about what ROM you are running now, is it modded ?
I'll take a look at the build number you have specified and see what matches.
This phone is very low end Huawei.
Curious: What is the Build date ? (at bottom of about phone)

Well I have a copy of this ROM on my PC & it matches the Build Number (see screenshot) of what I have on my phone now.
It's stock but contains root too, so I have read. However I actually have not flashed my phone with this ROM.
It runs OK, some system messages still show in Chinese, but those are rare.
I rooted mine via an alternate method, I plan to slowly do some more tweaks when I have time
The ROM is around 270 Mb & another chopped version down I have is about 180 Mb
I cant see why you cant get 3G network, I am in Mainland China and have no real issues here, hope it works in Australia when I visit there.
With root I am sure you could tweak this.
My HuaWei USB 3g USB card works fine in Oz & China.
The primary use of this phone for me is to supply my 10" Tab 3 with 3G via WiFi.

Solution finally
After about 12 hours or so of trying different rom's namely u30 rom's including custom roms like Lewa Os. i realised that everytime my baseband would come up as unknown.
I finally used HUAWEI-Y511-T00 flash with SP Flash Tool to flash a basic T00 rom with no bloatware whatsoever just the core android apps.
I then used ES File, Framaroot and the South African system.img . I extracted all of the APK files from the system.img from the U30 rom and copied them one by one setting permissions to read, write - read - read for each Apk. I did a dalvic wipe and a cache wipe and restarted.
The end result is I know have Google Apps (the ones that I wanted) running perfectly with sync etc across all apps and my china mobile Y511-T00 now behaves like a normal y511-U00.
Points to note, you will need to backup your NVRAM so you can restore your imei and mac ID to get rid of the Warning NVRAM error. You will also need to write your original IMEI back use MKTdroid tools.
Custom rom's will not work, but I have set google launcher as my launcher and removed the regular launcher which I am happy with.
What ever you do, make sure you make a back up. The only thing I have not fixed is the startup animation and logo which i can live with. For UMTS / 3G I am using a mifi device that gives me 8 hours on the go but i barely need 3g as i use wifi more than anyting at home and office.

@ZWstyles
Yeah nice you have it sorted.
Still surprised you cant make use of 3G network natively in the phone do you have any ideas on that ?
