I have a global Verizon TP2, that I've now moved to T-Mobile service. Obviously, I'm now using the GSM network.
My questions is, and I haven't seen it answered elsewhere, can I flash a GSM ROM or must I flash a CMDA Rom and set my network manually?
I may have missed the answer in my search, I admit, but I did try.
I should add, I've unlocked using HardSpl and the radio unlocker by Olipro and friends, which is how I got it working with T-mobile. I've also flashed the unofficial "official" 6.5 ROM for Verizon TP2.
CDMA is thats what your base phone is.

I'm not positive but I do not think you can flash any rom but an official upgrade from verizon, This is a hybird phone and no cooks have made any customs roms for it yet that I'm aware of...
There are custom ROMs for CDMA TP2, but not as many as for GSM TP2. I was just wondering. If I flash a CMDA ROM, I have to work through all the settings again to set it up for GSM, and it's a pain.
But if I must, I must.

It is a verizon phone so it is CDMA with the ability to use the GSM network. You HAVE to flash a CDMA ROM.

Head over to the Touch Pro 2 forums at ppcgeeks.com. That is a comunity more dedicated to CDM A development. There are quite a few CDMA roms available there.
I need windows 6.5 for Canada Telus HTC Touch Pro 2. Have they released a version for Canada? If so, where could I find it?
I've been trying to upgrade my OS and when I attempt to download the update it gives me an error saying "this download is not suitable for this device" I believe it is because the download is for european phones.
In addition to this question, has anyone had any success unlocking the Touch Pro 2 from Telus to Rogers?
A quick response would be muchly appreciated.
Thank you!!!
ROMs are carrier specific, for the most part. If it isn't on the HTC website, only Telus would be releasing a new ROM. Most carriers have stopped development since the phone has been discontinued. Not likely you'll see a new OEM ROM if one hasn't come out already.
that sucks!! I don't understand why the rest of the world is compatible with this upgrade but canadian clients arn't? doesn't make much sense to me. but thank you for the reply

Complain to your carrier. The stock ROMs are locked to the carrier they are released to by design. If Telus doesn't have an update for it on their website, then there isn't one available. As far as unlocking it to use on another cellular network, you would have to obtain an unlock code from your carrier. This would SIM unlock your device, allowing you to use any GSM carrier with your phone.
I have been searching for info on this subject and all I can find are threads from 2010.
My son has a US Cellular Desire and wants me to root and rom it for him no problem finding a root method.
Where I am having trouble is understanding if I need a rom made just for US Cellular or will any CDMA rom work?

Hi XDA,
I am currently on a T-mobile contract, but I will move to a different country for business purposes.
I know how to do the device unlock (thanks to youtube), but I was just thinking of different issues that
might come across when using different GSM network.
my device is rooted, running custom rom with T-mobile radio.
my questions are:
1. even if i unlock my device, shouldnt i flash a different rom that is compatible to other networks? (different radio too?)
2. could i use the roms and radios that are used in international version?
if the process is more complicated than I am thinking, could someone light me up?
Thanks in advance.

Never flash anything from an international model as you will brick your device.
I currently have a GT-i9195T, which is a Telstra (Australia) variant of the i9195. I'm trying to flash a new ROM (pref CyanogenMod) but I'm getting highly conflicting information on whether it is possible on this model. I've searched numerous threads, websites and posts but all the information has been a mess.
Basically I'm looking for confirmation that it is possible on this phone, and help as to how to flash a recovery, rom and anything else needed to get it to work.
I've been flashing ROM's since the first days of Android, so I'm not entirely new to this but I have no experience with Samsung phones (which appear to be a little more complicated).
Has anyone successfully flashed a T model variant?
