I was satisfied with the energy rom, but I recently bought a new phone, canceled service off my tp2 and activated a bb. If I sell my phone is it likely that the new owner will be able to activate it through sprint? or is it likely that problems will arise because its been tampered?
if you have successfully removed your account from sprint then it shouldnt be a problem...u can call sprint and act as if u want to buy a phone and ask them if your phone esn is clean
I did sell the touch pro 2 with the energy rom installed, the guy called me back and said that sprint could not activate it. I've been reading online about how I may need some profile.cab file?

an update profile,update prl, etc should appear in the system folder once a sprint provision cab is install to the device. all that guy needed was to call customer service and ask for an esn swap. a. the should auto program b. navigate to update profile in system folder and launch c. get the msl to that device and manuel program mdn &min.
hopefully he didnt walk into a sprint corp store with a nrgz energy rom on the device.
before selling ppc alway flash back to stock rom. alway* let the buyer do thier own modding. unless its a friend and he or she is cool in the game.
hope everything works out.

Well with sprint he could have went on the website and entered the esn thats below the battery to activate the phone. I do this all the time when they send me a replacement phone I never call them. All they need to do is sign into there account select activate new phone and it will walk them through setting the phone up.

Hi all,
I really need to change my HTC TYTN II imei. Can anyone help me on this? Is there any software I can get from this forum to change my imei myself? Hope you all can guide me on this.
Changing your IMEI is seriously illegal in several countries.

Why you want to change imei,did you steal it,and you dont want the oparator tracking you.to change imei is ilegal.
Anything in this forum/site that is deemed illegal such as software or hacks will get you banned and the thread removed. Do you understand what the IMEI is used for? I can see if your device got hacked as many places such as Brazil had this problem with the TDMA/CDMA network. GSM is more secure but still not perfect. If you think you got hacked then loose the device and talk to your service provider right away as changing the International Mobile Equipment Identity will not help!
If you are on GSM and use a SIM card, most all wireless providers will not require you to register your IMEI. How many iPhones are in Canada on the Rogers network? And has Rogers nailed anyone for having one? Your SIM is what GSM networks use to ID you and your usage, not the phone. I would not be using an AT&T Tilt if IMEI would black list me from my provider and force me to use one of their (somewhat) outdated and poor selection of full featured phones...

I tried that and I still don't have unlimited lives.. er,... minutes on my phone
ya, still play it now and then. I was hoping someone would try this on their phone then post that's it's not working for them.
Which I then would have replied
you must first downgrade your rom to windows mobile 4.9
then upgrade your radio to version 1.66
remove your battery
reinsert your battery
try the code again

People want to change imei doesn't mean he/she is using a stolen phone. I want to change my imei just because I don't want AT&T to know I am using a PDA phone w/ their non-pda data plan

I was actually want the same thing because AT&t's plan for this phone is like 64.99 a month, which is just outrageous.
for those that care, i used an 8525 for 7 months before it broke and att never said a word about the fact that i didn't have a pda plan, when i took the phone in they asked if i wanted to register my new phone with them without changing my plan and it didn't cost me a dime, i was previously on a nokia 6030i as far as they knew

Same for me and Rogers. They had the Motorola 320, and Nokia 6820b in their database. Those 2 I got for next to nothing as I renewed my plan both times. The phone after those, I bought direct from HP as I was outsourced by them and got a good discount when buying the HW6955 (HTC Sable) through them and not Rogers (kept my old plan and the phone was factory unlocked too). Next is my current phone: AT&T Tilt, again bought the phone from some place other than Rogers and kept my old plan. If you got the phone for free or discounted, you will be forced into a new plan and the plan will always match the type of your phone. That is why you never buy from your cellphone provider. My 3 dollar internet plan I added long ago, only covered text based sites which matched my very old Motorola 320 So I axed that 3 dollar service from my plan. The guy was surprised to find out the last 2 phones were not on his list With what our providers have to offer for phones, Canada is way behind everyone else (can you say September for iPhone? And that is a maybe). Rogers added Tytn to their fleet of phones when everyone else was getting ready for the TyTN II. They still offer the original TyTn and still no plans for a Kaiser. We will get the Diamond but only after the rest of the world has warn them out. So in short: buy your phone in full and avoid a contract renewal. In the long run, you will still save money and avoid being put in their database.
yeah. It is very slow in Canada. However, I phoned Fido for their additional $7 dollars all you can browse service plan, it is required to registered your IMEI with Fido. Or I should said it this way, Fido only allows the IMEI on their list to sign up for that plan. That means without changing the IMEI, you are not eligible for that plan. I know some of the people change the IMEI on their Iphone just to use that data plan.
well the poster should
explain why they want to change their IMEI no reason just makes it all seem aloof to me!

And that is not "stealing" how?
I have often wondered - I think that it is the RIAA that made it illegal to "break copy protection schemes" - in other words to remove code that was designed to protect a program or music or software. In this forum we "remove" bits that keep us from installing ROMs - technically this would put us in violation of this?
We get away with it because?
1. it is our purchased phone and we can do with it what we want?
2. we don't sell the software that we make (ROMS)
I am pretty sure that is we change the IMEI numbers and enable someone to hurt provider's revenue stream that this will be the straw that breaks the camels back and they will go after the culprits.
My two bits worth...
proevoguy - the forum will generally not discuss IMEI changing as it is highly illegal in most countries. Please search for "get you sore" for some info on why most people won't assist you on this. Personally I'm not against the technical discussion of IMEI changing, but as it is such a dangerous subject, it's best not to touch it.
I'm going to lock the thread, but leave it visible, so if anyone wants to help you privately they can. Just don't forget to lube up first if you get caught with an IMEI changed phone.

i'm confused? the title of this thread says flashing sprint tp2, then when we open the thread you are talking about a mogul. If you have mogul questions you should place them there instead of the tp2 thread. I don't know how to help that problem, but placing the question in the correct thread is definitely where to begin.
yes
i am using the mogul on metro pcs but i just bought a sprint touch pro 2 and would like to use it instead of the mogul... the TP2 is a damn fine phone.
Here is the forum for CDMA Rhodiums. It doesn't seem that Hard-spl, much less unlocking, is anywhere near ready for the CDMA Rhodium yet, though. So you'll have to wait awhile. But once a Hard-spl and unlocker is released, it would be released there.

ok i understand. I too have a tp2 and love it. Unfortuantely the hspl isn't ready for the tp2 yet so no custom roms can be made. the hspl is the unlocker for the phone, without that no changes can be made.
I dont think some people realize what your asking... basically people think unlocking the phone means adding a new rom onto the phone.. you dont need a hardspl to put a phone on metro's service... Long story short.. until houdinisoft supports the TP2 your out of luck... i had a TP flashed on metro and thats the latest htc phone they support right now.. i'd keep on checking houdinisoft.com(thats who metro goes thru to reprovision the phone) to see if they'll update there support for more phones in the future.

You are correct, with that software you don't need hspl. But with hspl you don't need that software. HSPL will more then likely be out before that software is out. the tp2 has already been shipped to cmonex and i'm almost certain cmonex will crack that phone before that software website is updated. More then likely that software website uses the hspl to do whatever is they do, but that is only a guess.
Ok so time to move this thread to the right forum, it doesnt belong here with all the gsm Touch Pro 2
So what is metro? CDMA service like sprint? I am confused what that person really wants here...

Metro
Yeah, metro is basically the same service as sprint. more or less rented towers from them. they use the same technology, but they keep it dumbed down and make their phone OS's either out of java, or for smartphones some sense of symbian.
I have been using the TP2 with metro pcs for a while now... prob a week after I started this thread. The proccess for flashing the phone is the same as the Sprint Mogul. The only thing that will cost you money is finding a store that ca add ESNs to the Metro network. I found a store in Orlando that flashes CDMA blackberrys to metro and they seem to be able to add the ESNs. When I brought them the phone they said no problem, what kind of phone is this? I just said touch pro, not touch pro 2. When they called to have the ESN added he just gave them the imei # and presto- phone has worked great ever since- Phone, text, and full web. no MMS though, but I really dont care about sending pics.
-Last night I updated to the Official Sprint Win Mo 6.5 because there was a known bug with the version that came on the phone that would make the dates come up as 2016. After installing the new OS I can not change the modem settings to access the internet. So if you are trying to do this, and you want to be able to access the web, then do not install the update to 6.5, unless of course you are using a custom rom
I was not able to find a thread showing the steps on how to flash to metro. I already unlocked my cdma and I am going to put Myghtyrom 032310. How can I flashed to metro without having to go to a Metro store? Oh, I forgat to mention that I already have an old samsung connected to metro, so do I need to do what is called, clone the phone? If so, how? Thanks in advance:
find a store locally that flashes blackberrys and have them add your TP2 ESN to the metro network and activate it onto your account. I paid $150 in Orlando FL to have them add the ESN after I flashed the phone to Metros network myself. U will have to go to a store to have it done legit. BTW i dont think anyone is gonna help u clone a phone because that is illegal

You need to pay a Metro store to have the ESN added.
As the prior member stated, cloning is illegal and not supported.
Some people will advise you to go to a metro pcs corporate store...but 90% of the time- they either don't know how or don't want to. Your best bet is finding a dealer store... I found one on craigslist in my area. It is legit. Metro store reps aren't trained well. The dealer i found-flashed it and added the ESN for me.
You can also try this online services that will do it for you...
This site is reputable- found many ppcgeeks members recommend it.
http://www.mymetroflash.com/CompatiblePhones.html
for $65, you get WEB,PIC,GPS,TET,APP
well go clone phones then smartypants
No need to clone smartphones to metro. Waste of money and NOT worth the trouble. You can flash it yourself and then take it to a store that will add the ESN onto metro's network. I flashed my HTC Mogul myself.

If anyone has a good relationship with anyone in management at at&t ... warranty dept ideally..... can you please pm me .... i need help.....
long story but in a nut shell i had a warranty claim involving charging port on my phone and it got misdelivered by post office .... second phone came and i was late returning it because it was lost in the return envelope somewhere... well they charged my account for $2000 dollars!!!
A representative of the warranty dept took over the case and we were doing great.... i assured her the phone had been recovered and was in
the mail. She took the situation by the horns and went to management and smoothed everything out.... until yesterday that is.... first- she told me to do nothing i.e. pay anything on my bill, until she got back in touch with me .... she cautioned this could take several weeks but that the charges applied to my account were serious and needed to be resolved before anything else transpires on the account... well yesterday tried to log onto
my at&t and check status and was still locked out so I placed a call to inquire..... get this .... its weird ... and i see why they would feel this way....
but while i'm on the phone i get a call from a young kid with latino or spanish accent indicating that he was terribly sorry but about two months ago
he received a package for me in the mail and it was a phone.... I was like theres the missing phone right.... well i told him i was on the way and
about ninety miles later and couple hours of trying to decipher his location I found him and recovered the device.... refurbished white one xl with 1.85 1.09 hboot... so i called back to try and locate my lady helping me and got customer service so i told them what had just transpired and i needed to be transferred to that dept... well she would only say that i needed to return the phone to closest location immediately...so i hung up...
got distracted as usual trying to run two businesses and buy another.... just four kids four dogs and a cat on a rainy day and it didnt happen...but i felt i needed to communicate with warranty dept... so anyway i woke up yesterday and my phone is cut off ....now this is not good for me trying to deal with banks for funding on a new business venture and kids and all. So infuriated i proceed to the local store with there phone and after a two hour ordeal with local manager and his support system we come up with i need to return the phone and sometime on or around the 1-17-13 everything will clear out and i can restore my service... well i blew up and told them to just close my accounts.. that was not acceptable...
Anyway the deal is although there way too expensive (my bill is never less than $250 , there still in my experience hands down the best...at least in this area.... and until now every issue i have they more than handle the situation... But i dont appreciate being treated like a criminal stealing a phone when i got up and went out of my way to recover there device. I had no responsibility to this device and had been cleared a month ago by the warranty dept who had confirmed by tracing the device that i never received it..... I also really dont appreciate my phone being turned off on a moments notice when i have done nothing but what i was instructed to do by there management.....
so im at a huge loss today on what to do ....
1- flash both devices to Straight Talk...?
2- send device back? and wait a week to be exhonerated of these charges and restored?
3- call attorney general and file complaint? hire lawyer with money i dont have?
4- do i have rights ? no rights?
I'm really getting sick of big corporations just steam rolling over the little guy.....ive already had a debacle earlier this year with sprint/google nexus that has all but put me out of business... and mother google is becoming the worst ally of a small biz owner ive ever seen ....between adwords and adsense....and there phone i'm in tight spot.....
any help or advice would be greatly appreciated........

well first off team one X is a GSM device therefore it cannot be flashed however you can obtain an unlock code so you can use a straight talk sim card. Or you could even buy an AT&T compatible SIM from straight talk which does not require an unlock code. Secondly I would talk to supervisor or a store Manager and see if they can help you and your situation.
But whatever you choose best of luck to you on a second note if you get a straight talk sim you know you may get the error mm 6 device not authorized in which case means AT&T has your device on the lost or stolen blacklist

yea well im sending back one of the devices.... so hopefully they wont do that to the other one... im unlocked and rooted on one and about to unlock and root the other one and going to nearest straight talk... i cant go without a phone .... F atat

if you want to go to straight talk check out their website for GSM BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone) @ straighttalksim.com and make sure you choose the AT&T Compatible SIM, You get the same coverage because it uses att towers, for a fraction of the price, however i dont know if they offer LTE yet or not so you may want to do some research on different APN Configurations and what not.
A Word about Unlocked just remember that the bootloader unlock and a Network Unlock are 2 different things, where you need the bootloader unlock to be able to use custom roms, firmware, and radios. You will need a network unlock to be able to use the device on another network that does not operate on att towers, some examples are T-Mobile, SIMple Mobile, Vodaphone, etc, etc

I wasn't aware of choices--but I'm not an expert. I told them what plan I wanted and they gave me a SIM to put in my phone. Others will likely have a more detailed answer.

At one point you'd want to make sure you had an r15 sim but that's been a few years now and I'd suspect all their sims are the same revisions at this point. I will say, esim on my 7 pro had horrible reception and I'm not sure why but went back to a physical sim and alls good again. I wouldn't have thought there would be a difference but indeed there was/is, at least on my phone.

You don't need to go in a physical store. You can just call them up; tell them the service you want. Once you have that setup. Then tell them you want an e-sim added to your account.
They'll ask for your serial/IMEI. Setup phone with e-sim and your all set.

Thanks for your reply.
I called my local store and told them I had a flip phone that used their service (Boost) and that I wanted to move the flip phones SIM and its service to a new, unlocked phone. I was told to bring my flip phone in and in return I would get a new SIM and have my new phone "registered" (can't recall right now the correct word). I was also told that I could not transfer my flip phone's number to the new service and that the visit will cost $35.
I don't understand why I have to bring in my flip phone if I am getting another SIM or why "registration" has to be transferred to the new phone. All I wanted to do is put the current SIM in the new phone. Maybe there is something that I am not aware of??

I've never been on T-Mobile/Boost...
but it seems to me that, at the very least, you can't use a "flip phone" SIM on a smartphone -- no less the latest Google smartphone released. It does suck that you can't transfer your phone number -- i question how hard it actually is to transfer it -- but I guess going from "dumbphone" to "smartphone" would be the culprit; although thinking about it, maybe it's because you're going from Boost to T-Mobile on top of flip phone to smartphone SIM -- too much complication. Maybe if you speak with a more knowledgeable person higher up the customer support chain, they'd either be able to do as you seek or be able to explain better why it's not possible/too difficult.

I'm thinking that I'll just use the camera part of the phone for now. The TCL flip phone works nicely for me. I use it to keep in touch with the wife when I take off for a couple of weeks 2 or 3 times a year. It still has around $150 of credit on it so that should last through October.
