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...

Yeah - MetroPCS. Primarily down in the south as far as I know. I know it's pretty big in south Florida (from what I saw).

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.
Here is a link to howardforums listing the agents tha will help add your ESN onto metro's inventory. Credit: Berry_lthird http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1496674

I need to know how to Unlock my HTC Touch pro 2 SPRINT U.S. I have looked EVERY ****ING WHERE, all I found was sites that you need to pay and get a IMEI Code to unlock it, does anyone know a legit site that I can trust or another way.
RELAX!!!!
First of all, relax! I believe foul language is not allowed here (I understand the feeling of being looking everywhere for something, it's frustating) if what you are looking for is to unlock it in order to be able to use with others carriers check this one out http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/ and if what you're trying to achieve is to unlock it to put custom roms on it then go to:
gsm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
cdma:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578660
by the way, to get your imei try dialing *#06# that'll do the trick.
Hope that helps, peace and welcome to xda.
one thing I'd add, sprint is definitely cdma, so don't use the gsm link.

Ups! you´re totally right in fact I OWN a sprint tp2, so I know for sure that it is a world phone (basically cdma and gsm, but functions as a cdma when it comes to unlocking and flashing anything to it), I guess I tried to be too general so others (both gsm and cmda users) could benefit from my answer, but I totally forgot to advice him to go for the cdma link, thanks god you took the time to tell him, I hope he did his homework before jumping to any of those links.
Sprint TouchPro 2 CID GSM Unlock
ANybody knows anything about Olipro ? I have paid for touchpro2 cid gsm unlock service and no word from him yet, it's been couple weeks now.
So I have been looking around but, I havent found anything specific, or exactly what I am looking for.
I have a HTC Sensation, and my Tmobile Contract just ended, I'd like to use Metro PCS as my next carrier, but i'd like to bring my phone with me. Now I've seen Metro PCS phones, and the galaxy 3 has a smaller simcard, but I'd imagine that is unique to the phone, and I should be able to get a same size Sim card.
How would I go about Unlocking my Sensation to work on the Metro PCS?
What are the rules Metro PCS must follow, what do I need to tell them, I'd like to get the cheap $50 monthly bill, so any advice or ideas on what to do?
thanks in advanced.

Use the sim unlock thread in the dev section....

Here is the link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
Once you find your unlock code write it down, and when you put your MetroPCS SIM card in, you'll be prompted for that unlock code.
tyvm, took for ever to find that thread lol, this Forum has gotten so big since I registered a while back, its truly incredible.
That link will be super usefull, when I finally have to get around to unlocking my phone, (on vacation, and using aunts PC, so no bookmarks and such.)
Now I just need to find out about what line of BS to tell the Metro PCS rep to get a Metro PCS sim card.
I'm not sure if something changed, but last I checked metro pcs used CDMA network and the sims were only for 4g lte, which our phone doesn't have.

Hello. So I have a clean rooted Sprint HTC EVO 4G and I need to know how to get it to work on my virgin mobile account. I have read tons of threads and still unable to get a process or instructions to accomplish this. I know it can be done as my fiance is currently running a Sprint HTC EVO 3d on a virgin account and it works great. Any info would be great or if you are able to do it I will gladly pay you.
I do have a clean Kyocera event and HTC one v for donors if its needed and both are virgin as well. I really wanna get this to work. If I'm not able to than I will just sell it or trade for a virgin Android.
If you need any info just ask and I will do my best to get back with you right away as I'm getting extremely exasperated lol. Thanks a million. Cheers

The good news for you, is that Virgin Mobile is a Sprint MVNO (same network). The bad news is that Virgin doesn't allow flashed phones and it won't activate an MEID that's already active (you'll have to erase if via cdma workshop and donor phone for virgin. Basically, it would be very difficult. You should read this thread, as it covers the same topic:
