have been desperatly searching for information on how to get a TP2 fully operational on Cricket for the last 4 days now.....tried different things in SSK kitchen but cant seem to get everything going....I have also tried
"http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=96040" by MarcSummerhays..but still no luck...I posted the issues i was having in his thread...
If anyone can help me out that would be great....or if anyone know of a good ROM that supports Cricket as a carrier that would be even better....
Thanks in advance for any info...
I am trying to get it done as well for Metropcs....let me know if you get some help as I will also. The process has to be the same..its just the Login and passwords are different.

The CDMA TP2 does NOT support AWS (UMTS 1700).
The only model that does is the T-Mobile US branded model.

Ok, know if one would be able to use the t-mobile version on Cricket and use it in both CDMA and AWS areas? (the TP2's all are both CDMA/GSM I have read)

The T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 is GSM/UMTS only.
It will not work on CDMA networks.
Are you sure on this? all the stuff I read says all version fo the TP2 have both GSM and CDMA... (at the sprint store, they even have a sim card spot.. they say is for international roaming)... I am sur you know more about this than me,... I am jsut hpeful that I could switch over to cricket.. and I am in a AWS area... CDMA doesn;t work here for it

Then you've been reading incorrect sources.
There is no CDMA only version of the TP2. There are however versions of the TP2 that do NOT support CDMA at all.
And none of the available TP2 variants support both CDMA *and* AWS in the same model.
Sure, there might be an engineering sample out there at HTC that does, but not one that you can buy at retail.
If you want CDMA, you're not getting AWS.
If you want AWS, you're not getting CDMA.
you can get mms working on cricket... you just need to know what you are doing.... I have created a 100% working rom for the mogul but havent tried yet on the touch pro2 because i havent got one yet..... trying to find one now..
The best place to start is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492824 <---- this is for the mogul but most of all the setting should be the same
then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=447 <---- same as above... this is for the mogul but most of all the setting should be the same
there is a TP2 ROM over at PPCGeeks

that works great for Cricket, as long it's a CDMA, you can also do MightROM and install one of RYANMOGUL Cabs thats what I do.
Answering the thread:
You can use any generic rom (i recommend Energy) and then just plop the ol' Cricket/Metro settings right on in there. I use PCAP to set proxy and just edit the network settings for My ISP. Then you just jump in message options and edit the Default CDMA Server settings to your network's MMS settings.
Freakin DONE!!!!!
If you use proxycap (PCAP) then you will not need to set proxy settings in the network settings under My ISP. Also, this allows for all apps to work through the proxy including outlook and more.

Anywho- I have long ago abandoned hofo. Let's not let this place become enough of a noob haven, with all the cricket/metro ppl looking for handouts, to become avoidable as well. Now that m-f is gone, they are everywhere looking to feast freely on other's hard work.

Hey people, sorry if there is already a post for this but i'm a little confused about my phone. Is it possible for the verizon touch pro 2 to be used on GSM networks like AT&T? (I think its GSM) or overseas like in europe? A lot of people are saying yes and no, i just want some clarification.
Thanks. Just got my Touch pro 2 like 3 weeks ago and still figuring everything out. lol
The Verizon TP2 has both CDMA and GfSM, The phone is unlocked will work on edge band here in the states on T-Mobile and *((. Overseas without unlocking it will work on some 3G netwiroks depending the bands.
Yes to your question....
Verizon Wireless is not strictly CDMA; it too is GSM 850 in rural areas you expect AT&T to cover, and in fact T-Mobile has roaming agreements with on the 850 spectrum. It's not at all uncommon for VW to have GSM where it's bought a previous GSM territory as it did recently in both Alabama (Unicel) and Louisiana (Centennial Communications); both GSM 850.
ya. it will work. its a quad band phone. so you'll get 3g on t-mobile and att.
I got my SIM unlocked and threw in my buddy's T-mo SIM and made a phone call. The caller ID came up with his #.
yes i worked for me.. i used http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/ and it was a breeze.. im using a sprint touch pro 2... with Verizon firmware.. on the At&t network..
Only issues i have so far is my internet settings mess everyone once in a while and i have to reapplya At&t internet settings cab i have.. and i cant get 3g to work.. just Edge. and my MMS only sends.. i'm having issues with recieving MMS. Not sure if these issues are fixable but hopefully.

Mine is doing that as well. How can we fix that?
Hey guys, one quick question:
I'm interested in buying tis phone but sadly I cant seem to find one available in Toronto or Markham (Ontario) so i'm thinking of buying one from TELUS (CDMA) since i heard they are sim un-lockable.
This post is merely a request for re-confirmation about that ability.
Will I be able to buy the HTC Touch Pro2 from Telus and sim-unlock it to use on Rogers/Fido Networks? Any limitations/advantages?
Can Telus do that unlock for me or is it a DIY software method?
I'm sorry if come off somewhat noob in my question :x I'm not new to the phone development but I havent been involved in the scene for almost 2 years and jus wanted a nudge in the right direction
Seems like a fun phone, esp with the ability to dual-boot android (i hate wm6...lol). Thanks again

Yes there is one limitation. If you have the Rogers/Fido Id caller (7$ option), it will not work on the phone.
Instead of showing the caller name and number(even if he is not in your contacts), It will only show the Number.

wow that sucks :/
so if someone i dont know calls me, (even with the callder ID service) only their number will show up? -_-
no way to get around that? i get a lot of people who call me outside of my contact list and it'd be annoying to not know whos calling lol
thanks for the reply
how can you tell the difference between a normal GSM TP2 and a GSM/CDMA one?
hi i have an htc touch pro 2 tha i bought in usa from sprint and it is boths cdma/gsm but i used here in greece in gsm,i wand to upgrate my rom to 6.5 is there any problem if i put an gsm only greek rom?

i'm pretty sure there is nothing to fix. since are using someone elses sim it is assigned to their phone number. the only sim that would show with your number would probably be the one that came with the phone. (if it did come with one). i have no idea how it would grab your number from the cdma radio but i guess thats how the stock one knows your #. if you put a different sim in it, it will have a different number.

DO NOT put a gsm rom on a sprint touch pro2! your phone is cdma!
well i ran into this problem on my htc fuze that i put a custom rom on for rogers. caller id would only display the phone number and not name. after few days of searching i have found a (rilphone for rogers CNAP.cab this is gsm patch dont try on cdma phone wont work) patch for the radio just install from phone soft reset and caller id with name worked. But that was a gsm phone. i dont know if maybe can work on some radio cab patch that could get this to work as well. Just posting this to see if anyone is up for the challenge.
Hello,
I read a few articles on the net indicating that the HTC Droid Incredible and the Evo 4g may have problems working correctly in canada. My service provider is FIDO and i'm looking to get a new phone for myself. The two listed above are the ones that most interest me. I wanted to know if there were any known issues with unlocking these phones and getting them to work with a FIDO sim card and if there were any known issues with surfing the internet with these phones in Canada (FIDO specifically)
Thanks!
In short: Evo and Incredible will NEVER work with a sim card. They are CDMA phones, and therefor don't use sim cards . Sorry
well thats very disappointing news. thank you for making me aware of this.
I have another follow-up question. Since the droid and the evo are out, what about the HTC legend? I was reading that the frequency that fido operates on is different than what this phone does. I dont pretend to understand what that means so i would greatly appreciate if someone could explain and perhaps let me know if this phone is an option for use on FIDO's network.
MetroPCS does not have this phone listed in it's list of flashable phones.
How might I get this working? If I were to get my hands on a MetroPCS ROM for another android device, is it possible I could piece together a working ROM? Or does anyone have any other ideas?
It's currently set up for Sprint (clean ESN for Sprint, not that it matters much for what I'm trying to do).
....... no
one rom for 1 phone doesn't work for another. it requires work to port
Yep, I got that. I was more asking if there is something I can get from an existing metropcs ROM to clue me in onto what changes to make.
If I reset the SPC, upload a metropcs PRL, and I'm assuming change any wap settings to use metropcs's internet... is that enough? Or is there really more to it than that?

the answer is no.
WiMAX isn't even on MetroPCS. It uses LTE. There is just way too much difference in terms of radios and frequencies.

Ahhh. Thanks for the info. Guess I'll activate on Sprint then. Anything to get away from AT&T right now, service in my areas has been horrible for months.
Metropcs nexus S`
Well obviously the 4g portion of it is different.
Now the evdo and supposedly 3g should work on are where metropcs has it.
Its no problem otherwise you can do everything you can with the nexus, just at a slower Internet speed.
You should probably be able to follow a tutorial for a samsung phone.
Is it possible to get an unlocked CDMA Nexus S so that I can use it with Metro PCS. Which brings up another question, would Metro PCS allow me to use the Nexus S on their service?
Technically, the Nexus S as well as the Nexus S 4G are "unlocked" and can be rooted with no special hacks. I would imagine that MetroPCS can develop their own ROM along with a radio and make it available on their site if users choose to do that. I don't believe there is anything in Sprint's contract which would cause a lawsuit for doing that.
The question is if MetroPCS will allow this phone on their network... it's up to them but I don't see why not, as they don't make money on phones anyway (I think)

Why would MetroPCS make a ROM for a phone that is unsupported? They'd have to go to Google to make a compatible phone in the first place.
Why would they spend money on making a ROM for the Nexus S? That just makes no sense. A radio is also not open-sourced. Radios can only be created by Samsung or Google for the Nexus S.
Get your facts straight
Whoever asked the thread said nothing about ROMs. He asked if an unlocked nexus s could be flashed over to metro which it should be able to.

Hey guys I have ns4g just about everything works except for mms..if you want mms you have to use whatsapp...so if you guys can build a metro rom for the ns4g that will be great
Hey all, considering getting a new phone, and this one seems like a beast. Currently have a pixel 2XL. On Verizon.
given that there aren't many choices for an unlocked bootloader on Verizon, how is this one running? Call quality okay? Any problems with the CDMA data? with all those things in mind, any advice on what model or what source I should use to purchase the phone? Thanks.
Running fine, the unlocked version works on all the carriers, popped a sprint Sim and it worked for 30 seconds before Sim locked up unforantly no support on sprint unless one plus 7 pro 5g. T-mobile was terrible what ever reason, full bars 1mb speeds or call couldn't be placed. Best place to buy is direct oneplus.com
Yes it does. Got mine from OnePlus website. But Id recommend looking into how to tweak the sim cards settings to work better on verizon. Once I did that, ive been getting way faster network speeds. If you need help doing that let me know
id love to know about the sim settings. im on verizon... phone works better than i thought it would. I expected more areas with poor to no reception... instead i basically get the same coverage i did with my s10, but if i can make it better, i sure want to.
thanks

Likewise I would love to hear the tweaks for Verizon.
There is no cdma data. I've not missed it much except in the forests of Oregon. Turning on roaming got me service though on the extended network.
WiFi calling and Verizon video chat doesn't work.
Other than the pixel, about the only other choice on Verizon would be an unbranded Moto.
