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.

I concur a hideous depressing non responsive brick.
Hi, I'm new to android and I recently signed up with Mobilicity for a Nexus S 4G.
I've figured out how to root my phone but for some reasons every custom rom I tried is not picking up any signals at all. (except WIFI)
So I am starting to think that it might be the type of signal (UMTS) that Mobilicity offers that doesnt work with custom roms?
Correct me if I'm wrong, and please help me with solutions, Thanks!

Mobilicity is a GSM carrier. Do you actually have a Nexus S 4G (a CDMA device) or have you been flashing Nexus S 4G Roms onto your device (in which case you are flashing a rom/radio for a CDMA device onto a GSM device)?

hmm, on the box it saids Nexus S but when I try flashing Miui for Nexus S, it wouldn't work unless I'm using the 4G version so i assumed that my phone is 4G.
And the phone status says that my "Mobile network type" is UMTS.

If you got it from Mobilicity it's the GSM version (AWS frequency, i9020 or i9020T by model number).
If you've flashed a radio for the NS4G (a CDMA device) or the i9020a this is going to break things.
What radio are you currently running? If you can't get service flash back to a stock i9020t ROM and see what you get. You can grab a full stock ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
that's exaclty what's happening to me, i got a nexus said to be a I9020A (under de battery), and on the manual says it's the nexus s 4g. the problem is (the same as darkkame) that the type of signal, in the settings says it's UMTS, so is neither CDMA nor GSM i think.
i live in chile, south america, and that's the problem i'm having with custom roms, particulary with the ice cream sandwich one, it only let me flash the nexus s 4g version of the rom but not the 3g one and i have everything working except the cell reception and 3g signal.
sorry for the poor redaction xD

thanks for the clarification, then my nexus isn't really the 4g version (despite what it says on the manual), but for some reason the ice cream sandwich rom acknowledge my device as a CDMA when it isn't so it won't le me flash the nexus 3g version of the rom (brings "installation cancelled" on the recovery), only the 4g optimized rom, but that's when i get no cellular reception nor 3g.
just have to wait for the official ics release then
Redownload the GSM version and verify the MD5. Installation Canceled usually means its a bad zip or the updater-script is jacked.
Sent from my Bionix on the Nexus S using XDA App
i found the problem, because i mistakenly thought my nexus was a 4g version ('cause that's what it says on the manual), i followed the rooting and clockmodwork installing procedure for the nexus s 4g variant, now i reverted the procedure, but this time for the 3g version of the phone and voilá i can now install the ice cream sandwich rom and have the cellular reception
maybe this solution applies for the author of this thread too
Can you provide a link to the rom you installed?
I flashed my inspire so that i can put an arabic rom. Now it is working with 2.3.5 rom and it is fine but the 3g is not working only on 2g . When i switch to 3g from the setting it goes back to 2g . Please help me.
Do i have to change the radio as well? To get 3g ?
What shall i do

Moved to Q&A as it is not Development related.
I recently bought an S3 SCH-I535 Verizon (CDMA) and I managed to run with Phone release Info.apk GSM Global Network a line, what I have now with ICS 4.0.4 and from there I could not update to JB via CWM, there is some JB custom rom or kernel that has the same option to change the overall network? either via Odin or CWM, I tried several and with no option appears. In advance thank you very much![/SIZE] excuse my English:good:

Im actually running 4.1.1 with all the mods for GSM and is working, the data speed can't be faster than Edge (E) simple because the Bands are different from LA, the S3 from verizon only have 2100 so we are out f luck for more speed.
But yes even with the stock ROM you can re install everything to make GSM work again.
