I have a T-Mobile (GSM) HTC Touch Pro 2 and would like to use it with Sprint (CDMA) service. Can I do this and what do I need to do to allow this to happen?

unfortunately you can not do this as it is a hardware difference not a software diff
You would need to either buy or maybe trade someone for the CDMA version. Different hardware inside.

Greetings!
I have Hard SPLed my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 and wanted to see if it was possible to get it to work on the Sprint network as I have no SIM card for my current sprint phone.
Does anyone know how to get my T-Mobile version working on a Sprint Network?
Not possible.
GSM phones (like the T-Mo TP2) will not work on CDMA networks (like Sprint)
Also, CDMA networks do not use SIM cards.
To make completely clear (maybe): The T-Mo branded TP2 lacks the radio hardware to connect to the Sprint or Verizon network.
GSM touch pro 2 lack cdma wont work. Even if it had CDMA its ESN is not in sprints data base thus wont work. Best to have a sprint touch pro 2 can use it on every network with no issue ( even hard of it being successfully activated on verzion go figure)

Sptint tightly guards their ESN list and does not add anything Sprint branded. Verizon will, not for a matter of policy but how nice you are to the store manager. So yes, it isn't unheard of.

Are you saying that the T-Mobile hardware is capable of CDMA in addition to GSM? That's the first I've heard of it. I thought that HTC built different hardware versions.

No...he was off-topic for your original post (he was responding to the post before his).

Absolutely not.
What I am saying is that one would be able to get a Sprint branded phone, or anything CDMA, to work on Verizon. I was mostly responding to the second part of the post regarding non Verizon phones being activated on their network.
hi .. can i turn my t-mobile touch pro 2 in to cdma? the reason why im asking is because i wanna go to sprint and i read that the touch pro 2 has the hardware already for cdma,.. so can someboyd help me with this? thanks
No, like most Rhodium models, T-Mobile Rhodium is a GSM-only version featuring only GSM-compatible hardware. Only the devices sold on CDMA networks like Verizon and Sprint have GSM capabilities as well as CDMA.
nope, sadly you can not.
However, currently if you start a new 2 year contract with Sprint, you can get the Rhodium400 (Sprints version of the Touch Pro 2) for only $199.99.
Since (I assume) you already have one Rhodium, you are well aware that it is worth every penny of the 200 bucks.
yep i know.. if i go to sprint i would just get the evo 4g
I have a T-mobile Touch Pro2 that I want to use on Verizon. I have read about unlocking GSM on the Verizon Touch Pro2. Is it possible to unlock CDMA on the GSM Touch Pro2 from T-mobile? I have a donor phone I can use the MEID from. I don't care if the GSM radios get disabled. Could I use QPST to write the MEID and enable the CDMA radios and then flash with a Verizon cooked ROM?
Thanks!
No, it's not possible, sorry. There are some hardware differences (possibly the antenna ?).
The CDMA phones are designed to work on the GSM wavebands (via roaming) as well as the CDMA bands. But the GSM phones are designed to work only on the GSM bands.
If you flash a CDMA phone to your GSM phone, then you will permanently brick it.
thanks for your reply. i'll put the phone on ebay.

If I understand your post correctly you're looking for this information here:

But your Sprint CDMA can never be TMobile GSM (or AT&T GSM) for that matter, this is a hardware difference.

Sprint's touch pro 2 is a world phone, you just have to get it unlocked and flash the universal radio

I'm pretty sure the answer is no but I thought I'd just get confirmation. Does the HTC 10 from T-mobile have any CDMA bands? Like to use it on Verizon? I'm getting a T-mobile one from a special program but I'm on Verizon, if not I'm sure my girlfriend will be happy with her new HTC 10.

The T-Mobile variant will work fine on verizon if you pay for the s-off through sunshine and then follow this guide to convert it to verzion
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/guide-convert-unlocked-to-verizon-t3380615
You sure this will allow it to work on Verizon? Can anyone else confirm that the CDMA bands are indeed present?
