I'm in dire need of help as this is my only phone and I just wanted to get windows mobile 6.5 on here. I got my HSPL from rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/hard-spl.php and that worked fine and then I tried to flash 1.82b_sense_2.5_2012_full also known as Josh's Rom I believe. It stopped at 10% and told gave me the error 290. I had removed my SD card and SIM card and it said going into CDMA mode when i started it back up to start the flash and used my USB cable. Now my phone only starts and stop on the tri color screen and it says:
___________RUUNBH(without the underscores)
RHOD400 32M SS-BC
SPL-1.00 OliNex
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MicroP(KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
(This line has dual text but I'll try) 503U524 707...and under it it says upgrade ROM code error
798, 20B1211 203 (under it: please try again)
207, 837 Calibrated
USB
Please help because I have no clue what to do.
You have a CDMA phone. You can't flash ROMs made for GSM. Make sure the ROM you're using is made for CDMA.
I'm sorry for being so confused and lost, I just entered this whole world of customizing the phone and am not sure of how everything works. The only reason I tried this is cause I'm somewhat of a computer nerd but have no idea in the field of phones. So do I need to reflash with stock rom from sprint? And if so where do I find it? and what HSPL do I use for my phone? I thought the my phone was a GSM as well as CDMA cause the SIM card seems to be for the GSM part. Some steps what to do would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
EDIT: I just used the relocker from the same website and my phone started up again and it seems like it works fine now but what HSPL unlocker do I use to flash a new ROM? I'm confused about if i should use GSM or CDMA? I have a SIM card that seems to be for GSM and i saw it go into CMDA mode when I removed it. Suggestions?

If the phone is CDMA at all (even if you're using GSM mode), you must use the CDMA stuff from the CDMA sub forum or ppcgeeks.

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.
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.

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
