[Noob Question]Flash GSM ROM on to CDMA TP2?

Hi all,
I just bought this Telus CDMA/GSM TP2. The sim is unlock.
I am on GSM network. Since i never use CDMA, it is ok to flash GSM ROM on my phone?
one more thing, how can I move bottoms in the START manu without deleting/add them?
n1 know the answer?
Never EVER flash a GSM ROM onto a CDMA phone!

Confused, can i Hard-SPL my phone?

Hello xda-developers
I have the HTC Touch PRO 2 (RHOD100)
But, i am really confused, is this the GSM or CDMA version?
Can i Hard-SPL my phone? Will 3G work after hard-spl'ing and rom flashing?
Best regards
Mikkel
who is your carrier, and what country.

Nobody who can help me?
Yep it's ok, you're GSM, CDMA version is for some North American providers, so you can use the GSM version, it won't do anything to your 3G or anything. Just allowing you to flash safely any rom.
Perfect, thanks...

question about telus tp2

There might be another thread asking the same question but i couldn't find it, anyway the question is:
Do all cooked roms for t2p work on telus t2p, since it's cdma and gsm?
As far as I know your TP2 CDMA/GSM has to be flashed with a CDMA ROM
And that section is here:

I think If you flash a GSM you´ll have an expensive brick
Masters correct me if I´m wrong...

Help from someone from USA!

I bought a Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2 phone.
Someone can help me with a brief explanation about the steps that I need to follow to get my phone without the Verizon branding, WM6.5 in spanish and unlocked for SIM? (I don't need instructions, just a minor guideline)
As far I investigated I think about:
1) Install HardSPL (what version should I install of this to not get a bricked device?)
2) Install WM6.5 spanish unbranded
3) Unlock SIM card feature with IMEI, etc stuff
Greets!
My main issue is btw detecting what version of the HTC TP2 is the Verizon one. It is a CDMA? so HardSPL for CDMA will work?
Thanks again

Yes, if it's the Verizon-branded TP2 then you should look in the TP2 CDMA sub-forum for CDMA-specific things like HardSPL and roms.
i dont think there is a cdma rom in spanish. You need to download the radio unlocker for the cdma tp2 to unlock the sim. It will cost you a small donation

Thanks for your help sir!
Where can I donate? that it is the first thing that I need to do? Are you sure that the CDMA radio unlocker is needed? Why this phone is a CDMA version if they have a SIM card?
Thanks again

The Verizon TP2 is first a CDMA phone...but it has a SIM card because it also has the capability to use GSM bands in Europe...but not in the USA. Maybe there's some hack that permits use on GSM bands in the USA, but not legally.

Best Rom/Radio for Dual CDMA (Sprint) / Domestic GSM (AT&T) usage

Im looking to flash a custom rom to a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 for the sole intention of getting rid of my work phone (AT&T Blackberry). What is the best ROM (and easiest to switch between radios) to do something like this?
Thanks for any tips!

So far as I know you cannot flash a GSM ROM to a CDMA phone. It will not work.

The CDMA touch pro 2 is also a "world phone" so it has a built in GSM radio. The key is unlocking it for domestic GSM carriers. There are some unlockers to do this, but I am assuming there are various different radios and ROMs you can use that may make this work better or be easier to use.

I am aware of the "world phone" capabilities, and I stand by my statement. You will brick your CDMA phone if you flash a GSM ROM. You need to flash a CDMA ROM.
I believe that it is possible to "un-brick" back to CDMA, although so far as I know no one has "un-bricked" a GSM phone that was accidentally flashed with CDMA.
for better results... aka answers.
i suggest asking this question here --> linky.
because primarily your phone is CDMA,
therefore a CDMA ROM would be needed/required.
i also suggest a read of this --> linky.
it is very informative.
and should help a lot with answering your questions.
hope that helps.

As a CDMA/GSM phone we have the capability to use a GSM sim card, but we can only use tools that were specifically built for CDMA, including ROMs/radios. Flashing a GSM rom/radio will seriously hurt your phone, possibly rendering it unusable.
To unlock for a GSM carrier in the continental US, you will first need to SIM unlock, either through calling your carrier and requesting a SIM unlock or using the olinex SIM unlocker found in the CDMA forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517
There are a couple guides to getting the tp2 working on various carriers.
