I see that most here are American, with T-mobile ETC. But I'm Canadian And as such i can get a Telus branded TP2. I was wondering, can the roms posted here all be flashed onto this device? And if so, is there any way i can back up the current state of the device so i could say, flash it back to the Telus branded one if i please? And if your feeling daring, is there a TP2 official 6.5 coming out for Telus/ is it available official from your carriers?
Thanks all in advanced, sorry for the question dump, Matt.
Can't flash the Telus TP2 yet because it's a CDMA device.
Unlocker is apparently in the final stages... so stay tuned.
Ok thank you

I have a Diamond 3700(the north american version) that I got from Rogers canada. my main problem is that i am now in a different country and need to use a different carrier, but i would also like to put a new ROM on it.
From what i can tell most of the ROMs here are for the cdma versions. could anyone point me in the right direction of a good stable ROM that will also network unlock my phone?
I have asked the same question here as well, hopefully someone can help me on this board.
cheers
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...
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.

I bought the Telstra version and wiped it with the Generic HTC ROM. Works a treat.
Where did you guys buy your Telsta models from?
Thanks

I wonder why they Aussie models are so much more expensive.
(and why do the specs in that link show euro specs?)

Do you have problems with GPS? I was told by the folks at onthegosolutions that the HTC non-Telstra version had GPS problems. I assume they have upgraded thier Telstra models to the latest Telstra ROM with some sort of GPS fix
@mooves, i still get error 130, i did do update that was released OTA when i got the phone do you think that i might of F***** myself when i did that and no rooting.. oh i did go out and get another branded sd card maxwell? HELP!!
doES THE PHONE HAVE TO BE CID UNLOCKED BEFORE ROOTING?
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.
