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.

This might be a completely obvious question, but I cannot seem to find a thread on it. But I am just curious if there is any risk of losing my phone's SIM unlock status if I flash another ROM and/or Radio. I read something on the Radio page about 1.27.14.09 and locking to AT&T, but I didn't completely understand it.
Can anyone vouch for the fact that reflashing ROMs and Radios will not lose your SIM unlock status?
No you will not loose your SIM unlock.. If you use a AT-T rom with a non AT-T radio you will not get sound from your kaiser. Same issue if you use a AT-T radio with a non AT-T rom all you get is no sound. If you are planning to use a different rom than an AT-T then you must change your radio to match that rom. there is a whole thread on what radios will work with what roms and I think it is stickied
I read the thread "Kaiser Radios" and I was a bit confused, but thanks for the response. Out of curosity, where does the phone store the locked/unlocked status?
TyTN II Orange sim unlocking
Guys, sorry for the hassle but I am struggling. Want to sim-unlock my TyTN II. Tried to use IMEI CHECK but it failed to work. Any help would be very much appreciated. Keep on getting the error message that the software was designed for Kaiser devices only.

Sorry for the dumbness of the question, but do I have to sim-unlock my Kaiser (Orange) before flashing with a new radio/rom (Dutty's Hybrid 29/4). I've heard of unlockers just patching your current radio, so does flashing with a new radio automatically unlock the phone anyway?
One more thing - does this Dutty's rom (I'm going for the non-cube 1.65.14.06) also flash the radio, or is it just the rom? It says +(radio) on the posts, but I just want to be sure...
Cheers

Sim unlock, no. There is something called CID unlock which you must do in order to flash. You CID unlock by flashing HardSPL. Look it up. Sim unlock will let you use your device on any carrier.
The sim unlock works by patching a special radio (which is actually non functional as a radio, but it helps reveal the sim unlock code) and running a special program on the device and a computer. When you are done you have to flash back your original radio.
Flashing a new radio does not automatically unlock your phone.
Some of Dutty's roms come with a radio, some do not. If they say rom+radio they do. If they say rom only well, its rom only. You have to read each cooks individual FAQ/
thread to know what you are flashing.
i read somewhere that sometimes when you flash with simlock it is possible that it stops accepting any simcards.
so when i first flashed i also simunlocked.
but maybe im wrong and you dont have to do this.
i am sim, supercid, and security unlocked and haven't had any problems with my phone read the wiki it will help you understand everything
Yes you have to sim unlock your orange branded tytnII before flashing, search around xda there are a few free ways of doing this...
I bought some Rogers Palm Treo 750 BS phone from ebay and would like to set it up with AT&T OS & Firmware or whatever. How do I convert my Rogers phone to AT&T? I tried the WM6 for ATT update and it said, "Unsupported Service" when trying to update it? Please help I don't want "Rogers" or whatever it is. Please help!!
P.S. - I can use my ATT sim card and it works, but just want to use ATT's software
Unlock using Hard SPL and you can flash any AT&T (or generic) ROM you like using the SD card method.
what should i do?
my old phone bit the dust and was rebooting endlessley without reasion... now i cant unlock my replacment phone.
send a message to cmonex asking to have the new one enabled...
Let me get this straight, because i'm having the same issue, I can't update the boot loader using HardSPL from OliPro. I don't need to SIM or Radio unlock my phone unless I plan on using it on another carrier/overseas, is that right? I have a TP2 thru Verizon CDMA and only use it in the states, so I shouldn't need to buy the SIM or Radio unlocker to burn new ROMs, right?
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!
