sprint tp2 to boost
i am stuck at boost csr and i need help.. i have a sprint tp2 trying to get to boost i checked to see if i have a clean esn and i do and i also read many blogs/forums that are well respected keep getting shut down. need help badly
I called today and swapped from my mogul to a TP2 I got on ebay, the csr asked my what kind of phone it was, I said I didnt know, she asked what the meid was, and once I finished giving it to her she said well, this is a sprint phone but I can activate it anyway you just might not get data. She proceeded to activate the phone, give me the msl and walked me through manual programming (##MSL#, then type in min and mdn), the phone rebooted, she had me try a test call to *611 and it worked,sent me to boost, we hung up and I tried going online, as soon as it tried connecting, it said updating prl, then updating profile, then the phone rebooted, and everything works.
just for the record, this is the sprint tp2, they will not activate a verizon or alltel one. I had mine running the stock rom, just experimenting earlier, I tried doing a ##786# reset in energy rom and it worked but then didn't reprovision, flashed the stock ruu and on boot up it did a profile update and connects fine again.

I got this phone from a friend and I have it unlocked and working on AT&T but for the life of me i cannot get the Data to work, I have tried deleting and re-creating MEdia Net and It will only let data come through if I remove the battery and let it sit for a while, Phone works great by the way. Please help. My first post by the way, I am running Calkulin's Touch pro2 rom.
Have you tried going into settings-->connections-->connection setup and letting it do it automatically?
I have tried that but it doesnt find a network, I went ahead and gave the phone to my little brother who has Tmobile and he seems to be having more fun with it than I did.
i just ask ATT guy he said you can't use data on unlock phones

So you are saying that Your brother is having 3g just like as if he bought the Tmobile Touch pro 2??
so the short story is i have flashed a htc touch (and repaired the esn so it would work on metro) and a htc touch pro successfully without any problems.
the touch pro and the touch pro2 are both on metropcs without any esn work done to them.
i hardspl and load a rom to the tp2 and i set all settings to basically match the touch pro (except a diff #)
NOW this is what has worked perfectly on my touch pro.
it is not working at all on this one. the phone keeps prompting me like the network does not recognize it (like if you tried to dial out with only changing prl) i used *228 and tried to attach it to a new account but it is not working.
i am wondering, if there is something i have missed, because this is a sprint tp2 and it has the sim card in the back. i have tried with the sim card in and out and it made no difference to the message when trying to dial out.
i am no stranger to these phones, yet i am completly baffled on why i cannot get this tp2 to work.
anyone got some ideas?
Johnzm, i would post this on hofo see if metro's mafia can help you figure it out... http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php/335-MetroPCS
You can also try to find your answer there as well. Read some sticky posts before posting.
im not 100% positive, but i dont think you can put a sprint (gsm only) phone on a CDMA service provider.

Sprint is CDMA just like Verizon & Metro PCS
oh, well thanks for correcting me. i thought verizon was the only CDMA service provider other than metro. sorry my bad
I would assume that metro's rom has some carrier specific info in it... i'd do a dump, and see what settings are needed to make it perform correctly on the cooked rom. (only thing i could think of) or take it back to metro and have them reflash it. prolly want to flash it back to stock first... so they do it without suspicion..
I just bought a Verizon HTC TP2 and now i have it on METRO PCS. I do not have MMS WEB AND GPS. Anybody know how to activate or get this things working?
I tried searching all over the forums but I cant find anything. Please help Thank you!
Switch prl did u use??
go to howardforums.com and search for WALKTHROUGH TOUCH PRO Rhodium ON METRO PCS

Why are you digging up a 3 year old post for no reason?
I have a Scratch Wireless Photon Q that I Scratch Wireless will not activate for some unknown reason. I would like to flash the sprint rom onto it and use it on the sprint network. Will this cause any problems?

I don't think Sprint will activate the device unless it's one of Sprint's ESN's...
I am not a Sprint employee, and I spose it never hurts to try. See if they will even activate it before flashing anything.

I contacted Sprint via live chat and they said that I would need to bring it to a Sprint Store to get it programmed, before that I wanted to make it stock sprint. Ill try it later today and report back.
Well, I tried it and it worked great! It took me a while to get RSD Lite to work, but after that it went smoothly. Now, if only I can flash it to page plus.
Hello once again. I received 2 sprint s5's from my mom when she upgraded to S6's. I called straightalk asked if I could activate, no, called sprint prepaid, no!! I currently habe straightalk, and am willing to change to sprint amd get a contract, However I have sketchy service at my house, and really wanna test it out first. My question is whoop can activate these phones here in the SE US. Boost? Virgin mobile? I'm fairly granular with flashing and stuff and can read and follow directions. I do see a SIM unlock for non USA mostly, but would try it if all else fails. Right new the phone are factory reset on 5.0 lollipop. I can do what ever needed to get them SIM unlocked so I can activate for another service or just provide me with another provider that will activate. Amy help appreciated.

Youll have to pay for domestic gsm sim unlock,then adjust your apn to new carrier for data. Idoneapps unlocks these phones.
Sooooo
Ok thanks. So if its sim unlocked, and apn adjusted, I just pop sim in and I should be good. Even ifstraightalk tells me I can't use this phone?

Correct.
P.s. you also may have to enable some bands,depending on what carrier also.there are tutorials on that.
You can activate Sprint phones on Ting very inexpensively. Ting uses the Sprint network with CDMA phones.
Ting will check with Sprint to be sure the phones are out of contract and no balance owed.
S5 sm900g wifi popup
Thanks for the replies guys. Ting users CDMA? Mine is GSM, i found the threads about unlocking it. Hopefully i can get it. And one more question, i am constantly getting a pip up saying turning WiFi on will disable Hotspot. Ive done a hard reset, and back on official 5.0 lollipop. Not rooted yet but reading up on it before starting. This S5 lollipop is a bit diff from S3 KK. Thanks for any help or tips.
Sprint has a 14 day trial period. I was running around with 2 phones testing out sprint when I first got it.
