Help!!

hello everyone,
i recently purchased my first smart phone about a week ago and am slowly starting to tweek it to my likings.
sadly im not too sure on how to achieve certain things on the device but if anyone can show me a link on how to unlock the gps on my phone i would greatly appreciate it.
i have a friend who told me about this place and also mentioned it would be wise to also have my stock rom saved to my computer and my stock radio just in case the new rom screws my phone up.
anyways its an alltel htc touch 6900 so if anyone can help me out i would greatly appreciate it

okay thanks very much orb3000, i read the wiki and it said it will unlock the gps but said that it would run off alltels nav and charges 9 bucks a month, so what im wondering is if i ran the updated rom and unlocked the gps could i use a different gps app and not have to pay the gps fee?? or will that still require a different rom? thnks

HTC Touch PRO2 CDMA USCC, please help

I've got this touch pro2 cdma on US Cellular.
please advice if I can sim unlock this and if I could do some custom ROMs.
I've tried to read some stuff but it's hard to figure out all this.
There was a version of USCC to unlock some stuff but it said (not recommended)
pls advice
thank you

A SIM unlock will not allow you to flash a custom ROM. You need a HardSPL unlock to do that.

i was looking into hardspl and when it came to USCC it said (not recommended) ... that's why i got confused.
would you like to be a little bit more explicit pls?
i appreciate your reply

i would really appreciate some help

Don't know anything about USCC, but HardSPL will void your warranty and done wrong can brick your phone.

Miami: I believe USCC is an abbreviation for US Cellular. I'm not sure what the other "C" stands for, though.
gotttijr: If I understand you correctly, you're saying that you asked US Cellular about putting a Hard SPL on your device. If that's the case, then OF COURSE they would tell you not to do it! Changing the ROM of your device VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY. You are doing this at your own risk. You don't have to tell them about doing it, though. There are tools to get it back to its stock conditions if you ever have to send it in for a warranty repair/exchange.
Hard SPL DOES NOT unlock your device to another service. If you want to do that, then ask your carrier for the unlock code. Tell them you need the code to be able to use it in another country, and they will normally give it to you with no problem. Hard SPL allows you to flash custom ROMs and other radios.
This is as far as I take you, grasshopper. Search and read. The answers will come to you.

again thanks for your reply
what I meant was that I've researched this forum for htc touch pro2 cdma and there was a thread about this hard spl and when it come to USC phones there was a statement (not recommended). I'm having an hard time finding that thread no.
I'm still looking for it.
would it be stable to run android on that phone?

Are you saying you haven't seen the sub-forum clearly labeled Touch Pro2 CDMA and Touch Pro2, Tilt2 Android Developement?
Both of your questions are seriously the very first thread of each of them.

Android isn't stable on any phone not designed for it. Most of the people running it on a dual-boot setup have to live without some functionality and/or other quirks.

I got a USCC TP2 unlocked working with T-Mobile. Just follow all of the instructions given by the letter. Go over here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp2-upgrades/
Read the sticky threads. After unlocking and everything you can choose a new ROM that runs better than stock. USCC TP2 stick with CDMA ROMs and radios. Never install a GSM ROM or Radio.

Thanks again guys. So what rom would u recommend? There was the thread with radio unloc where it says for us celular not recommended. Can anyone advice on that one?

If I had a nickel for every time a new member asked "What ROM should I choose?" I'd be a very wealthy man.
Either flash a ROM or don't. Either way, only YOU can recommend a ROM for yourself. There are several for you to try. Just keep flashing ROMs until you find one you like.
No one can give you advice on an unlock thread without seeing it. Post a link to whatever you're talking about or move on.

[Q] Best way to unlock Desire HD

Hi, I need to unlock a T-Mobile DHD that I've just bought. I have read the previous posts on here, but I'm wondering if paying 15 Euro for a manufacturer unlock code from htccodes.com would be the least hassle way to SIM unlock my DHD?
Still not quite sure of the alternative. Which part of the process removes the SIM lock; flashing the radio? If I pay for a manufacturer code, I take it that installing a custom ROM wont enable the SIM lock back?
Sorry for the dumb questions. Thanks.

Use my radio tool (link in sig). It can SimUnlock your phone, for free
If you do the simunlock, it will stick, nothing will lock your phone again.

@jkoljo Thanks very much. I'm actually getting the phone tomorrow, so I'll give it a go and no doubt be back on here asking more questions

So the S-OFF tool sim unlock the phone in the process, or is this like a separate feature? I will be getting a Orange UK locked DHD soon!

You can choose to do Radio S-OFF, SuperCID and Sim unlock all at once, but the tool can also do just Sim Unlock.

Once you know what your doing, it takes 10 minutes max using the tools mentioned above.

SimUnlock
I want to unlock my Desire HD, but do as little 'messing-about' with the stock firmware as possible (i.e rooting, custom roms etc.). Would following your guide and just selecting 'SimUnlock' leave me with a ordinary DHD? (Except for the fact it would be unlocked haha)
Sorry if this is a silly question, I am a total newbie to this kind of thing.

If you call your carrier and tell them you're travelling overseas, they still charge you to unlock your device?

Hello there,
For the past few days I have been browsing through the XDA pages but was not able to locate the necessary information. May be I was looking under the wrong terms or key words.
Anyways, I have switched from iPhone to HTC Desire HD. I got it second hand and it has no SiM card. Basically, when I insert my uSiM it shows emergency call screen only.
I was browsing through XDA and as far as I got it I first need to activate the phone with the necessary sim card in order to unlock the phone. Is there possibility to `hactivate` the phone with no original sim.
And can you people help me to locate necessary information on the site?
Thanks a ton in advance!
Peace,

Hi Brothers,
I need it for that i request my senior members to help me. And you want to close it, is there any special reason to close brother.
Thanks
Br, Raja

What are you on about, you cant get S-Off unless it came that way!!!
And sim unlock is done online on any website offering it for the one x for about £8 via a code they will email you, you dont need root, unlocked bootloader or s-off to achieve this.
I 2nd the motion, close this thread.

You haven't told is what you want to achieve, so it's pretty hard to help.

What I want to achieve is a htc one that can use different roms etc and still keep my unlocked/any sim status intact. Does that make any sense ?

Then you can unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and flash different roms. Carrier is not important in this case.
Check this out, it has everything you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891
And when you installed the custom recovery (cwm 5.8.4.0) MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP ! this is very important its easy when you want to return to stock
