I don't think so, but then again, you should be asking this in the CDMA Raphael section. I think you should be fine, but I have a GSM TP.

Hello All,
I have a TP2 I am going to hook up that was just taken off the network. It is fully unlocked with a custom rom & 2.23WU radio.
Question is will they hook up a phone with a custom rom if I call them? Also, if I need to flash it back to stock rom will I loose the unlocked GSM radio? Reason I ask is the stock rom has 1.96WF radio in the title which I know is a locked version.
Thanks,
Force
i would think as long as it's a sprint phone with a clean esn, it wouldn't matter which rom it's running.
All you need to give them is your esn #, i don't see how they can tell what rom you are using or if the gsm sim is unlock or not. Just go ahead and try, i don't see the harm.
Cool, Thx guys
One time I had a TP1 and sold it on ebay and the guy said sprint was having problems hooking it up, I know it had a clean ESN,
He flashed to stock and they hooked it up NP.
Later,
Force
They may ask you to use the "Update Profile" software that comes in Sprint stock roms, and depending on your custom rom, that software may not be included.
Never mention is has a custom rom to them. They won't honor the warranty if you do
NEVER mention to any service provider that you "hacked" your phone, as stated this will guarentee you A voided warentee. I would also guarentee they will certainly not hack it for you.
just make sure when you hack it to backup your stock rom. that way if something were to go wrong and your Rhodium would need serviced you can stock-ah-fy (yeah, I said it) it. One look at a flashed Rom and they will tell you that you're S.O.L.
So they hooked up the phone and sure enough just like the TP1, the voice works, but no data works.
It is running latest NRG Rom 2.5, Same thing happened with Mighty rom on the TP1 a year or so ago.
Any ideas, maybe use the provisioning app on it?
Thx,
Force
Yes, you should run the provisioning app located in the Start Menu\Programs\Tools folder.
There was a new NRG 2.5 Sense Cookie HomeTab ROM released on June 27th. I'd suggest you reflash to ROM to the newest one on your phone rather than relying on something the previous owner flashed.
Also it's advised to do a Task29 clear. (Search for it in the PPC Geeks thread dedicated to the Touch Pro 2 CDMA NRG ROMS: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86489 )
Plus the recommended unlocked radio for the CDMA Touch Pro 2 is the 2.32.00WU version found in this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=106571 on PPC Geeks.
I've found that PPC Geeks is where the best support for the NRG ROM and unlocked radios for the CDMA Touch Pro 2 are found. Whereas I prefer xda-developers for most of my apps.
PS I run the Titanium version of the Touch Pro 2 CDMA NRG ROM's so don't have first hand experience with the Sense versions.
I'm still running an ancient version (Late May) of the NRG ROM and it didn't have any of the sprint PRL and Profiler update apps. I found a cab that will install them in the MR. X ROM thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1563450&postcount=4
Hi all
I have the tp2 Verizon version and want to put in on MetroPCS,
Do I have to change the Radio Firmware?
I like to run android on it, Can someone recommend Rom for it?
I tired to install 2.32.00WU.exe on the phone and it gets stuck on the boot, where the 4 colors come up.
I already unlocked it so i can install new firmware and roms,
Please help
Thanks
Basically my phone is updated to Sprint version G930PVPU5BQJ3, and that version apparently has an updated bootloader. T-Mobile's current rom is G930TUVS4BQJ2 with an older bootloader.
Since the QJ3 bootloader is new, I can't successfully flash any firmware that is below QJ3, meaning I can't successfully flash T-Mobile firmware (or unlocked S7 firmware).
Does anybody know if there is anyway around this, or do I need to just wait a month or so for a new version of T-Mobile's rom that has the bootloader updated the same as the Sprint firmware?

Thanks. That's what I thought I but was hoping I was wrong.
firmware bootloader ver.
I have the same problem, no mobile data is killing my functionality. Regardless of whether or not I'm connected to a T-mobile APN I get nothing but calls and messages (texts only no mms/pics), no mobile data of any kind.
Is there a place where the current bootloader priority for some/or all of the various s7 roms (carrier &/or custom) can be looked up? I was considering using a custom rom but need to pick something that will flash with the firmware I have now and work with T-Mobile network. Ideally I would rather use stock carrier rom, since I'm really just a noob trying to use a Sprint phone on T-Mobile network. I really dont want another failed flash and to have to waste more time setting my phone back up with the partial functionality it has now. I'll wait if necessary but I wanted to ask about the bootloader priority and to see if anyone had any other suggestions. Thanks!

Sorry for the question is this new bootloader locked or unlocked. if it is unlocked you can flash a custom bootloader and with that you can flash any rom you like.

Just read Ivpre's post today on a 930p thread, bootloader version is the 9th digit in the firmware name.
How can one determine whether or not the bootloader is locked

I'm sure I'm asking a noob question but there is a very good reason for that

Hi. I just joined T-Mobile from Sprint. I entered the APN settings recommended on the tmobile help site, which only worked for about 5 minutes. After calling customer service, I was directed to create another APN profile, basically identical to the one I had originally done, without deleting the first one. After saving and selecting the new profile, go to Settings>General Management>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Push the button to make it so then power cycle. Mine has worked ever since. Of course that was only Monday but still. The tech said that the majority of the time it works although he could not explain why. I talked my wife through the same procedure on her S7 Edge and on hers mms doesn't work. Don't know why.
Hello everyone, I've searched everywhere for T-Mo firmware in a flashable zip to basically install it just like a custom rom to be able to get a temporary sim unlock until I pay in full my phone, right now my phone is running flawlessly with dual boot, latest global firmware and a custom rom on the other, 2 sims T-Mo and AT&T, but instead of reverting back to T-Mo to unlock the sim and converting back to international I just don't want to go that route, so if someone can provide me with the android 10 flashable zip link( I don't know if there is an existing one) for TMobile I will appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks bud.
I have a Sprint Unlocked LG V50. Can I flash stock ROM on it with no network lock to make it work with any network?
Especially Metro/ TMobile
If so.. where can I get this ROM and how do I make sure I have the right one?
I want to know the same thing. So dumb that its sold as an unlocked phone but still wont work with other carriers.
My V50 sprint unlocked was working with mint mobile after editing the APN but ever since I updated to Android 10 it no longer allows me to ad an APN, Delete one, or edit.
I thought this thread was going to be really helpful but after trying everything my APN settings are still grayed out. Sprint, LG, TMobile, and Mint mobile (my provider) all dont have any idea what to do about it.
I have already tied "##3282#" and got my correct "Service Code" from the Ebay seller to attempt the what l1lpiggy says to do in that thread, but that didn't change anything, APN settings are still greyed out.
Iam also using LG V500N SK Telecom korean version and i was able unlook bootloader but was not able to install stock firmware.. Let me see wheather i can try custome Rom..
Is there any option to update to stock by stock in zip format after unlocking bootloader like how we install custom roms..

What was the error message you received?
Where's the "mod" on this forum. This doesn't belong here.

This phone is dead. I'm welcome to any and all posts here just to know that there are people who still use this phone.
I went back to the V30 just because of how abysmal the development is here.
