Doesnt matter for customruu...GSM ones work in CDMA.
Have u hard-spl your TP2? Hard-spl is a MUST if u wanna flash custom ROM. If I'm not wrong, T-mobile is GSM version. I use TP2 Sprint which is CDMA/GSM. I use GSM mainly in Indonesia.

If you bought a T-Mobile branded phone it is referred to as a "GSM" version.
You can tell which version you have either by the carrier branding, the model number or a conbination of both.
EVERY SINGLE TOUCH PRO 2 HAS A SIM CARD.
and EVERY SINGLE TOUCH PRO 2 HAS A QUALCOMM CMDA MSM CHIP.
Why? Because "3G" GSM isn't really "GSM." It's WCDMA (otherwise known as UMTS or a HSPA variant). And Qualcomm makes the CPU chip which drives the system.
So what you're seeing is 100% normal. Both the "GSM" and "CDMA" TP2s have Qualcomm CDMA CPUs inside.
thanx

You have to Hard SPL before you can use a custom ROM.

Why does it say everywhere else not to flash a GSM rom on your CDMA device? If both were the same phone, then wouldn't the custom ROMS be shared together and not segregated into a Custom CDMA ROM forum? I know that I can hold a GSM (Tmobile) and a WCDMA (Sprint) Touch Pro 2 side by side, and they are not identical, though they could have the same chipset.
I would double check that information about running custom roms for GSM on CDMA...Every post I see about it, is from people who did it, then think their phone is bricked until they flash a CDMA rom onto it.

ROM for GSM only & CDMA/GSM is different! Including the splash screen is different too. U can't interchange them, could brick ur device. Several people have bricked their TP2 cos wrong ROM. If u wanna plenty of CDMA/GSM custom ROM, just visit www.ppcgeeks.com. This xda-developers mainly on GSM only ROM.

Hi all,
I'm wondering how I can check if my HTC Touch Pro is unlocked for installing custom roms. I bought it without a carrier with no simlock.
Don't know if that matters?
Hope that someone can tell me how to check this...
Thanks

If you did not buy it from a carrier, then it should be SIM unlocked, which means you can install anyone's SIM card and the device should work. NOTE - use of a SIM card implies you have a GSM-based Raphael. There are also CDMA Raphael's out there (for North American carriers) which don't use a SIM card.
In either case, if the device is unlocked, then you can go ahead and install any of the Raphael ROMS being developed in the Raphael ROM forum. Be careful, if you have a CDMA Raphael, go to the CDMA forum.
Security Unlocked is something else, and this is only required if you want to flash the RADIO from another device, such as the Blackstone or Quartz models. This, you have to get done by someone else. There is a sticky thread in the Raphael ROM forum where you can get more information.
Personally, I just stick with SIM unlock, since the Raphael-based radios are working just fine for me.
you should probably put hard spl on there just in case to be safe
Ok thanks than I am going to install a custom rom tonight.
Hope it works!
You need to flash hard spl before doing anything.
Oke, does any one know where this is explained?
So just a short explanation about what to do in what order to install custom roms etc...
Thanks a lot already!
Uh, try the noob flashing thread and the hard spl thread in the rom forum, and the flashing thread at fuzemobility.

That "Test only, not for sale" advertise is because the customer is using the Beta HTC 6.5 Rom in is Rhodium. You can change the rom using the GoldCard method or the HardSPL one. Just search the current forum to know how to do it.

CDMA-GSM -> RHOD400, RHOD500.
Only way is using Goldcard for signed roms or wait until HardSPL cames to the CDMA Phones...
Moving to CDMA forum.
I am also closing this thread down since the original question has been answered. Until HardSPL for CDMA is released, we are tethered to official ROMs.
hi i just bought touch pro 2 from telus and im using it on rogers gsm. i dont like the stock rom cant edit alot from it. was wondering if i can switch everything to strickt gsm radio and rom.
No you can only flash cdma roms to a cdma phone. If you flash a gsm rom you will have a big brick. There are many cdma roms in the below link. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=98
ok thanks i had moded the phone and changed all settings to work on rogers.
Hi, i have purchased a Verizon touch pro2 from the states. It has been shipped here to Australia i have unlocked the GSM and now am running on a gsm network, my issue is does this now change from cdma roms to gsm and vice versa with SPL.
Thanks.
No you only use cdma roms. If you use gsm roms or radio you will create a nice brick.
Great, thanks very much
I have the same phone, using in india successfully over GSM, can anyone suggest me where i can get custom ROM for my Verizon Touch PRO 2? do i require to apply Hard SPL before i flash any ROM? As I can only flash custom CDMA ROM to this device, will GSM keep working as it is even after flashing custom CDMA ROM?
Thanks in Advance
It already has a cdma rom on it because it is a cdma phone. Go to ppcgeeks.com for hard spl info and lots of roms.
