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...
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.
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.

Hi All,
I have rooted my US Cellular CDMA Desire, created a backup and googled for CDMA compatible ROMs. Unfortunately I am a little confused as to which support CDMA phones, and which are GSM only.
Does anyone have a list of CDMA ROMs or at the very least a suggestion for a CDMA ROM?
I would like to keep the HTC interface if possible... so Cyanogen (a very very good rom, and CDMA compatible) is not tops on my list.
Thanks for the helP!

i think ultimate droid has a cdma rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849992
and just so you know, every developer that develops a rom, states if it is gsm or cdma. good luck.
Which Rom should i use for other CDMA sim card? or is it possible to use stock ROM for any other CDMA network? i want to use it on other CDMA network.
Thanks
