I am new to CDMA. I have a lot of experience with my GSM Touch (Elf) but I think it is something different between falshing a GSM Touch and CDMA Touch.
Like if I flash my CDMA touch, will my phone number gone? How can I just flash a new ROM without lost my carrier and phone number? What should I do to start flash my CDMA touch? Is it after flashing a custom ROM I could release the internal GPS?
I am in New Zealand and service provider is Telecom. Please pointing me the way to go. Thanks
ROMs for this device are usually carrier specific. Typically, you'll flash to a specific ROM, without letting carrier customization run, for the Radio upgrade. Then flash the custom ROM. Most cooks do carrier specific ROMs, but it's usually for Sprint, VZW, Bell, so I'm not sure about your situation. Just browse through and you'll find something.
Just make sure you DO NOT let the carrier customiztion run after flash, unless the cook has replaced it with a SDConfig, otherwise you could lose data functions.

Hey, I've been ramming through the forums the last week with no idea whats up with my phone yet..
Here's my problem
- i got a sprint branded Vogue that was in perfect working condition. (but i soon fixed that).
- i wanted to upgrade to the latest sprint ROM so as to get GPS and then run a custom ROM to get manilla 2d.
- went ahead read instructions and installed coke 2.31, no problem.
- ran the latest sprint SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.4_2_Radio_3.42.30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship
- it booted and said no radio but finished customisation and when it rebooted Radio version was 3.42.30.
- run NFSFAN's Sprint 1.03 ROM.
- everything was ok except no service and no GPS lock..
- tried the method where you change the MSL to 000000.
(went well but no change)
- got rid of hard spl using spl 0.40 then flashed shipped sprint ROM twice
NO Service yet.
- loaded Tata's PRL, still no service..
any help to get my Vogue service back?????

I'm in Kenya and using Orange's CDMA offering, it uses RUIM cards and accepts any ESN, i dont have to register a new handset with them.
I'm not new to flashing, i've customised GSM HTC'S for a while but not expert level yet, but very NOOB to CDMA..
Willing to donate to whoever helps me fix it..
Simpler version
I think i can pinpoint my problem to one thing,
i need to enable the RUIM slot,
next to the mem card is another slot for a CDMA RUIM card(like sim card for GSM).
My carrier uses that and all settings are on it so just need to enable it if there is such a thing..
Hello
I just wanted to say HI. I just registered. Been exploring this site for some time now. I have the touch pro 2. I really like it. I have had a lot of phones, mostly iphones and blackberries (I used to sell them). Done a lot of unlocking, but now am getting into serious business
So just wanted to say Hi. Thanks for helping me get an education. I will say this information is very hard to navigate though. You guys are amazingly smart about this stuff.
So far I have the MightyROM. Trying to understand the different types of locks/locking. For the TP2. From Iphones I learned about basebands and firmwares. This TP2 is on a whole new level by comparison though. Very confusing. Trying to skim through the wiki. Information seems hard to come by. I have basic knowledge only pretty much, but it's all diverse (done light java programming, etc...)
Really interested in the Registry edit capabilities. Right now I just have Rescoe. I thought for sure there would be a way to unlock by going that route but doesn't seem to work on anything I have tried. Don't really understand the parameters/keys and don't know how exactly to find out.
I will just keep plugging away I guess. Tried to buy the security unlocker but ran into problems with paypal freezing my account and what not... I really hate paypal...
Thanks though. You guys do great things!
What is Security Unlock?
Ok hello again, I now have a very good question I think:
What is Security Unlocking?
I was reading the wiki and that clarified a lot of things for me as far as CID/ROM unlocking and SIM unlocking but I didn't see anything about security unlocking. I am under the impression that I need to security unlock but I don't know why and I would really like to know.
Last nite I tried to download and install the radio upgrades from Olipro but the phone bricked into bootloader and I had to reflash the mighty ROM to get it back up and running again. As my understanding is that I am currently CID/ROM unlocked but I can't seem to unlock the Radio/GSM without Security unlocking. Can please tell me why? Is this an added mechanism to prevent this that is recent advancement on the carriers part I am guessing but how does it work and why? Thanks so much if you tell me!!!

what do you mean by trying to unlock the radio? SIM unlock?
security unlock allows flashing non-stock radios. (but you must pay attention if you're flashing a radio that's compatible with your phone model.)

Well I'm not quite sure but I will explain what I am seeing.
When I put a SIM in the network doesn't register but it shows the new phone number in phone settings on the first tab. On the second tab in 'Network' it doesn't detect and keeps saying "searching for network" etc...
My radio says WF. the hhspl works fine and I can flash any ROM. The only ROM I haven't tried is a GSM ROM because in my understanding that bricks the phone (What is the brick? Tricolor? Black screen?). However I haven't been able to flash any Radio's at all. It gets to 100% and then quits with an error and reverts the phone to tricolor screen and the only way to get it out is to Reflash a ROM. I was able to Flash a Sprint ROM with the windows mobile 6.1 version. I have to say that one really sucks lol but it did manage to change the radio version. After I changed the Radio Version to 1.96WF I reflashed back to MightyROM and tried to run the unlocker again, didn't work. Then I tried to reflash another radio. Didn't work and bricked the phone to tricolor/bootloader again.
So am I CID locked Or Security locked? Either way the process should work I thought? None of the programs seem to be doing what they are fully designed to do.
Thnx a bunch!
Something!
I purchased a brand new T-Mobile SIM and IT REGISTERED!
I was able to call the T-Mobile Help line.
There was some trouble with the activation, but I think I got it. I guess I didn't need the security unlock after all???
weird. And the radio version is sprint. In my understanding, a sprint baseband/radio is not supported on T-mobile, yet I have access to the frequencies/bands. For example on an iphone in order to pick up frequencies from T-mobile or any other GSM carrier you have to upgrade the baseband/radio version to one that supports those frequencies. The last iphone I had I had to use an IPAD baseband in order to unlock it. So this is completely different.
THIS MAKES ME VERY VERY CURIOUS!
Yea the security unlocker doesn't work for the U.S. Cell version... at least mine it doesn't. I made some youtube videos and a thread to show that. I figured out another way to unlock though using the HardSPL, Flashing to a Sprint Stock ROM to get that radio, and then flashing again to MightyROM.
What I meant by unlocking the radio is basically I am thinking of the radio in terms of the radio picks up certain signals (like 800mhz, 850mhz, 1900mhz, etc...) but each carrier prevents their radios from picking up all but one of the signal, the one they use, and prevents the rest from communicating with the device (guessing this would be the device modem?) so when I say "unlock Radio" I was meaning unlock those other frequencies and get rid of the programming which blocks them and use my device to full capability.
So now I get to see what this baby can really do thanks

if you only flashed Hard-SPL, then you are still security locked in terms of radio.
Hard-SPL is only designed to unlock the SPL, not the radio. so, it does do what it was designed to do, unlocks your phone for normal ROM flashing.

both Hard-SPL and our sim/security unlocker (separate program from Hard-SPL) work for US cellular tp2.
as for the Tmobile SIM, some of the newer SIM cards will work with that sprint radio. not all of these SIM cards will.
Does it matter what Carrier I flash? I'm on Telus in Canada, but I see the roms AT&T?
10 char.........
Do you mean ROM?..
dont flash anything you see you will brick your phone as far as i know the at&t skyrocket have same hardware Roms are compitable but you have to port it to your telus somehow..again dont flash unless you are certain
If the ROM is meant for AT&T, and you flash it to your hardware specific Telus phone, then you have the possibility of bricking your device. I would not flash unless you have a SPECIFIC rom for that SPECIFIC phone. The roms were built to be used for your device and your device only, and not to be ran on other devices.
Be careful, you don't want to hard brick your phone. Do your research bud.
Hello, guys. I have one question about flashing any custom ROM on R800x with any other operator, not Verizon. Posted this question in [GUIDE] R800x owners - You got Custom ROM questions? I've got Answers! thread, bu no luck. So decided to try creating a new thread.
I'm from Ukraine, R800x was brought to me from USA this summer. I've unlocked my bootloader month ago, then I decided to use my R800x with our local operator Intertelecom. I had Paranoid Android installed in that time and tech support of Intertelecom had to roll back to stock firmware to get data and phone working, because Paranoid doesn't support it from the box. I have used phone for a couple of days, but then flashed MIUI from this topic and all my phone stuff (EvDO registration, phone number and all that CDMA stuff) gone because of flashing stock ftf with FlashTool.
So the question is: can i flash custom rom without erasing that CDMA network data? It depends on if I flash stock ftf or not? Different wipes in CWM doesn't erase that information? I just don't know where all theese things are written in R800x.
Thanks for any reply.
u need to ask your telco carrier to make the setting OTA for you,
so u can simply dial *228 after flashing ROM to re-config your CDMA setting (this is what i did now) - i'm using R800x verizon in Indonesia with local carrier
custom ROM will remove DIAG mode on the phone, thus manual setting won't work either,

Thanx! I had no hope to get any infirmation about that already)
I dont know, what is DIAG mode is used for, it is never mentioned around here.
Greetings All!
I have the Verizon HTC One M7 HTC6500LVW. I use AT&T for my provider. Is there anyway I can flash the stock ROM for AT&T or the unlocked ROM to this phone? I have lots of issues with data since Verizon blocks out some of the use of the radio and also cannot stand the bloatware apps that cannot be removed such as the 3 ESPN apps or NFL Sports zone or any of the Verizon apps that I cant use since its AT&T for my provider. Please help with any details you can. I'm fairly new to flashing and rooting and so far haven't even been able to find instruction that work on even getting S-Off or being able to root it or change the provider ID.
Thanks to all!
Sunshine to s-off. Install viper one or gpe for best results. You will not get better than edge connection as Verizon made HTC lock out the bands on something deeper than "simple" NV edits and flashing a radio for a different variant will cause no boot, same with other carrier ruu s.
