hello everyone!
so I bricked my old sprint tp2 with a wrong spl.
tomorrow i am picking up my new one.
can you please tell me once and for all, what is the right Hardspl for the Sprint tp ?!?!?!?!??
the phone is a CDMA as i understand it, but it can work on GSM networks with a simcard. so is this the right Hardspl?!:

or do I need a different version?
thanks for all the helpers!
that is the one you need.
just remember that if the device does cdma of any kind then you always want a cdma rom, radio, and unlocker. Never put a gsm anything on a phone that does any cdma

Ditto, not that he needs my vote, just thought I would add that you need to remember three things.
1. remove your SD card before trying to hardspl your phone
2. make sure your GSM sim card is in before you try to flash hardspl
3. remove any gsm rhodimg or *.nbh files out of your SD card root directory
yep that's the right one, I used that one on my sprint TP2 and it worked great
Hi, I had a problem with radio but I solved it.
I still have some questions. I've got Touch Pro2 from US Cellular it is CMDA400
1) can I flash GSM Rhodium Rom
2) can I flash GSM Radio like 4.49.25.91
I won't use the CMDA
NO.
If you flash a GSM ROM you will brick it.
If you want to use GSM ROMs, buy a GSM only hardware variant.
With CDMA/GSM combo hardware, you need to stick to the CDMA ROMs.
Just because you don't use CDMA doesn't mean it stops having CDMA hardware....it will recognize a SIM card is inserted, just need to change your call and data settings for your specific carrier.
Hello I bought a htc diamond off craigslist and I tried to change the msid and when I change it it just shuts off. I need to flash back to original rom and I have no idea how. I downloaded the original nbh but have no idea how to use it or what to do
Have a deep read here for GSM and here for CDMA, if follow instructions all should be ok and you can enjoy WM6.5
Just be sure to know if you have a GSM (SIM card) or CDMA device
Good luck,
Thank you.
I figured out how to use the nbh so now I have the original bell software (Horrible) im on the CDMA network. Now I need the code to change the msid
anyway you could step me thru the process of getting windows 6.5?
Have a read here
I've bought a US Cellular TP2 CDMA device months ago, but now I'm back at home and I want to use it in Europe, mostly in Hungary, with an Eu carrier's SIM. Is it possible to put an European radio on this device or I have to use the WU radios? Should I unlock the phone to put a new radio on it?
I'm not sure about Cellurar, but try and put your SIM card (there is a place below battery) and when you turn on the phone it will ask you if you want to use Global mode. If you answer yes it would work as it should . No rom flashing is necessery Flashing GSM version of ROM can kill your phone , so I wouldn't do it!

Thanks for the answer. Right now I can't try it, but I will as soon as I'll have the SIM.
Is there any difference in hardware between cdma & gsm touch pro 2, or just the radio firmware?
(As far as I know, every TP2 has the QUALCOMM CMDA MSM CHIP inside, either originally CDMA or GSM.)
So the main question is that if I never ever want to use it outside of the EU again (or as a CDMA device), am I able to flash somehow an EU radio on the phone?
You don't need to flash anything, just remove your sim card when in USA , you could then use it in Cellurar network (you should register it in the network first and pay I suppose).

Thanks for the help. That's ok, I understand it, but I won't go back to the USA in the next few years, so this phone will be used only in the EU from now. I've unregistered it at US Cellular.
The reason is why I want to use it with an EU radio, is that I want to use is with EU roms and I've heard that some complains about problems with WU radios when trying to use 3G in the EU.
So my life would be much easier this way, but if it's not possible, I'll use CDMA...
Any ideas? Is it possible to flash an EU radio and ROM on my CDMA TP2?
No. Don't even try it. You don't need it, CDMA rom would work with 3g network in Hungary .

sprint and cellular tp2 are supposed to be unlocked, but i may be wrong. no need for any radio or flashing. the cdma version contains the cdma and gsm radio, so need of flashing rom or radio. everything is built in
thanks defaultdotxbe for the link, but that really doesn't help as well I brought a verizon htc tp2 rhod500, winmo 6.1 not a sprint htc tp2 (cannot confirm but stated on advert) (thats what it says on the rainbow splash - volume down key + hang up key) from ebay apparently clean esn. Recieved today and have been trying to connect to O2 (gsm 900 band not sure about umts).
but I have the following problems:
1)It finds the networks but cannot register even under umts/gsm bands 900+1800 + umts 2100+900 or gsm 1900+850 + umts 1900+850.
2)Same problem under global
3) Upon start up get warning need to insert valid verizon sim - guess it has not been unlocked yet?
4)Under settings, there is no security or personal tab... so i cant get the unlocker as i dont know the imei.. or can i phone verizon and they will give it to me?
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
p.s does the htc tp2 have hspda / umts bands usable in the eu - the htc website really doesn't specify but it does for verzion :S.

I'm using htc tp2 from us celular in Macedonia it is sim unlocked (but you can not use it with us sim card) just insert the sim and that's it offcourse you need to change the settings from cdma to global mode to do that go to settings/comunications /phone/network
Hi guys, i have few questions. I have HTC Touch Pro 2 (Sprint version) and Iam using Vodafone SIM card (Vodafone CZ), so thats GSM network. But Sprint version is CDMA. Now i want flash my HTC. So i need CDMA ROMs, is it right? And if i flash it (for example with Energy ROM), can i still use GSM network and SIM card from Vodafone? Cellphone stay unlocked for any SIM? Or what will happen? And if that flashing fail, can i download official ROM from HTC site and use my Vodafone SIM card again? Thanks for advices.
Please no one know?
Dude a CDMA phone will be a CDMA phone.....The hardware is different....If u flash a gsm rom not will happen except u won't be able to use ur phone. So stick with the CDMA roms and don't use a gsm sim in that nothing will happen.
Hit The Thanks Button if I have Helped.
But Sprint version using both networks. Cellphone is CDMA but it have global mode where i can use GSM SIM card, i wanna know if its will be same after flash to custom ROM.
If so then u should head to the sprint store and get the phone unlocked once it's unlocked then u can use it like a gsm phone.
