Hi guys, just a few quick questions....
1. Is the Spint version of HTC Touch Pro 2 called the Tilt 2?
2. I know that that for CDMA & GSM, you must use the correct custom ROMS for them. Some of the popular ones like Energy Rom series have versions made specifically for the CDMA Touch Pro 2. But what about radios? Are there CDMA only versions of the radio? Or even HardSPL etc?

1. The Tilt 2 is the AT&T version of the device. The model number for it is RHOD300. The Sprint version is still called the Touch Pro2. The Sprint model number is RHOD400.
2. Everything for either device other than most applications is going to be for one or the other. ROMs, radios, and Hard-SPL are all for either CDMA or GSM. Make sure you use the correct one for your device. Even is you use a CDMA device with a GSM network on a SIM card, it will only ever use CDMA software. Never make the mistake of using GSM anything on a CDMA device, and vice versa. Doing so runs the risk of permanently bricking the device.
Happy flashing.

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.
Wellllll... Where are the guides
Please some help,
I have read and reand and dont find the answer.

Typical noob question
I have a quad band worldphone (HTC Tilt2) and I am looking to do my first customization on a phone. If I decide to customize this phone will I lose my "world capability"? I know previously that I have used this phone in Iraq and Turkey and had no issues.
So, that being said-Can I customize this phone? Meaning, is there a hardSPL out there that I can install before flashing the ROM and still be "world capable"?

Flashing a ROM does not affect the hardware. Your device will still be "world capable" after a flash. However, you need to know if you are using a GSM or CDMA phone. To find this out the easy way, remove the battery, and look under it on the device. You should see a set of characters such as Rhod100, Rhod200, et cetera. If it is Rhod100 up to Rhod300, you are using a GSM device and can only flash GSM ROMs. If it is Rhod400 or Rhod500, you are using a CDMA device and can only flash CDMA ROMs. If you flash the wrong one, you risk turning your device into an expensive paperweight.
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!
Sam
i think ultimate droid has a cdma rom.

and just so you know, every developer that develops a rom, states if it is gsm or cdma. good luck.
Hi XDA,
I am currently on a T-mobile contract, but I will move to a different country for business purposes.
I know how to do the device unlock (thanks to youtube), but I was just thinking of different issues that
might come across when using different GSM network.
my device is rooted, running custom rom with T-mobile radio.
my questions are:
1. even if i unlock my device, shouldnt i flash a different rom that is compatible to other networks? (different radio too?)
2. could i use the roms and radios that are used in international version?
if the process is more complicated than I am thinking, could someone light me up?
Thanks in advance.

Never flash anything from an international model as you will brick your device.
