Hi guys
I've just unlock my Orange tytn2 because I want to use a Tmobile UK sim .I did read here sometime ago that flashing Orange phones might brick it.How do I go about using a different rom so as to get Tmobile setting?
Thanks
There is a piece of softeare called connection setup. this will auto detect the network and your tmobile sim and will prompt you to install the settings.
I am on Orange UK and that software was taken off as part of the Orange UK customisation.
Now, usually most cooked ROM shefs have included this Connection Setup software with the ROM. so once you flash your phone (and only do so after you have extensivley Read and Read the froum) you will be able to get the setup automatically.
If you didnt want to go through all of that yet, you need to find the cab (software) and run it. most threads with cab collections will have it.

Make sure you hardspl before flashing a new rom, most roms have connection setup after the flash.
If you want to avoid bricking your Orange TyTN II, and wish to flash a new radio (or new rom including a radio), you'll have to SIM unlock it first.
I did it on a french Orange TyTN II, and everything went fine.
If you directly flash a new radio (alone, or together with the ROM), the SIM lock window will pop-up, and you will have to get the code from Orange before being able to use your phone again.
I bought my Treo 750 through AT&T right after it came out. I upgraded to the official WM 6.0 firmware a long time ago. I also called AT&T who gave me a code to unlock the phone so I can use it with my new T-Mobile SIM.
I want to upgrade to 6.1. Since I had AT&T give me a code to unlock my phone (I'm currently using my 750 on T-Mobile now), do I still have to use the Cheetah unlock utility? If I flash my radio to the 1.54.07 version, will it give me better coverage or reception with T-Mobile? Do I have to flash the radio to use 6.1?
Thanks...
The code just unlocks your phone for a different SIM card. I would recommend using this tutorial to get Hard-SPL so you can use any ROM you want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511763
Hi to all!
I have a Sprint Touch Pro2. I already went through the whole process of doing the Olipro Security Unlocking and the RhodiumW WU Radio Unlocking for US SIMs.
Everything worked very well and now I can use my phone with an ATT Sim Card.
My question is, can I update to a new/different CDMA ROM without losing the ability to use my ATT Sim Card? I would like to eliminate all the Sprint applications and be able to get new ones.
I will really appreciate your help!!!
just run the radio again once ur unlocked it stays unlocked so just run the radio again and u should be fine works for me everytime

You should be able to use the ATT Sim card, after you flash a new rom...as long as the RUU that you use does NOT flash a new radio.
I am guessing that because you want to eliminate the Sprint Software, that you are NOT planning to flash a stock rom.
If that is the case, and you plan to flash a custom rom from here or PPCGEEKS, then you should be fine. Other wise, if you find that you did lose the ability, then just re-flash the new radio after you flash the rom.
I have 6.1 Sprint Unlocked SIM and want to do the upgrade but scared that it will remove the ability to use any SIM card. I have done the upgrade on my father's Sprint TP2 and he likes it, I just need some confirmation before I proceed. Thx.
It wont! But I suggest you call customer service first, and make sure it wont.
I upgraded to 6.5 and my tp2 remained sim unlocked. It will not affect your sim unlock
i did and my sim card from trinidad dont work
Yes because you will need a new patched radio since the rom includes a newer stock radio
plus one drewcam. there is a 2.32.00wu, flash to it and go!
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.

Please remove the spaces for the link to work.
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
