Sprint Touch Pro 2 UNLOCK!!

As its mentioned the sprint version is CDMA/GSM so is it possible to unlock the GSM of sprint version to use with other carriers?

There is a wealth of information on this subject in the Rhodium CDMA Portion of this forum.
It is being worked on, but is not finalized yet.

yes, at PPC Geeks they are working on it. I really want to see it work on the Verizon network. I hate carrying two phones around.

I am sorry it doesn't make senc eto say you want your sprint phone to work on verison both are cdma unlocking won't help you!

I want the sprint to work on other carriers because I live in turkey where the phone is not available yet.. and I currently only use gsm so cdma won't bother me too much for now if only the gsm could be unlocked and used untill the cmda is also unlocked.

You say you live in Turkey? Then a Sprint Touch Pro 2 will most definitely work because by default it's already unlocked to international gsm providers.

Aye - the dozens of threads containing this info say as follows:
the sprint 'touch pro 2' ships sim-unlocked however US sim carriers currently blocked
and lots of 'we're working on it'

Thank oyu very much for your replies.
I am happy to hear that it is possible to use in turkey, I found one on ebay and asked seller to be sure that it will work and when receive the answer i will purchase one right away ..

hey i'm in turkey and have the tmobile unlocked version and i tried putting a vodafone tr sim in and it worked for sms and internet but when i make a call it will either not go through or i ca't hear anything and the other person can't hear. anyone know what the problem is?

the most possible reason should be radio update

Can I use my T-Mo TP2 on Verizon?

Is there anything I can do to make my T-Mobile Touch Pro2 usable on Verizon's network?
Root it? Unlock it? Anything?

No, the T-Mobile Touch Pro2 is exclusively GSM, and Verizon's network utilizes CDMA technology. You would need to buy a Verizon Touch Pro2 from Verizon to use Verizon's network.

LOL.
AT&T, T-Mobile = GSM
Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular = CDMA
You CANNOT use a GSM phone on a CDMA network and vice versa.

AT&T to T-Mobile??
Hello,
I just upgraded to HTC Evo and moved to Sprint couple of days ago. I am trying to sell my Touch Pro2 to my friend who has a T-Mobile.
My TP2 is currently running the EneryROM, so I am wondering what I could do to get this phone run on T-Mobile.
We inserted his SIM-Card but unfortunately the phone asked for a code because the network is blocked.
I think I can download the T-Mobile's official ROM for TP2, would that work by itself?
Any suggestions?
Thank you

nope... wont work.. you cant just install a rom on the phone and have it work on another network... The phones themselves have to be compatible.. like was said up there.. gsm phones run on gsm networks.. cdma on cdma... now that said.. arent the touch pro 2's with verizon and sprint world phones so will run on both gsm and cdma?? Although I'm fairly certain even if it is possible to get it to work on the network you want you definatly wont get 3G....
You're better off just selling your phone to someone ON your network... craigslist or ebay can be your best friend... and he's better off buying one made for his network.
Just my two cents!

First of all, don't try to flash the T-Mobile ROM onto your Sprint Rhodium, since that's a great way to brick your device (the ROM is for a GSM device, flashing that to a CDMA/GSM device will brick it). Sprint allows the use of SIM cards for any carriers except US ones, so what you need to do is Security Unlock your Sprint TP2, then flash this special modified radio that will allow for the use of SIM cards from US carriers. Only then can you use your Sprint TP2 on T-Mobile US.
EDIT: Disregard this entire post, I misread it and this probably doesn't apply to the actual situation. My bad...

AFAIK, the TP2s on Verizon are World Phones, but I really doubt that you could go and use a Verizon TP2 on a GSM carrier like AT&T or T-Mo. I would assume Verizon would lock the feature to do that, and that the GSM antenna is more then likely an underpowered or unable to really take advantage of GSM networks (3G/HSDPA, Edge, etc). I think they are only set on on Verizons end to do basic voice and basic features.

Apparently no one is READING your post. You want to take an AT&T Tilt2 and run it on T-Mobile. It will work with the following restrictions:
1. Your phone is network locked to AT&T. You have to either call AT&T and get an unlock code, or buy a code off ebay or one of the forums here. That way the phone will work on a different carrier network.
2. Having unlocked your phone, with a T-Mobile SIM card it will work - but only on the slower Edge speed, NOT 3G. AT&T uses a different 3G technology than T-Mobile.
I would suggest selling it as an AT&T locked phone on ebay.

Thanks Steve

Everyone,
I apologize for the confusion.. I re-read my post and I didn't mention that my Touch Pro 2 is an AT&T phone. (I was an AT&T customer and moved to Sprint). Sorry about that guys..
But thank you everyone especially stevedabi for reading between the lines.. LOL.. He won't buy it but my other co-worker is very interested. Need to sell this thing so I can offset my termination fee from AT&T. haha.

Why not just transfer the entire contract to him WITH the phone.. Then you don't have to pay a cancellation fee... Can they do that here? I know of a few people that did it up in Canada but have never heard of anyone in the states doing it. I'm sure it's got to be possible down here.

[Q] Roms for AT&T Nexus?

I'm one click away from buying the Galaxy Nexus from Google for $349 (AT&T HSPS+ unlocked). The only thing holding me back is rooting/roms. Would I run international roms on it since its an unlocked version? I went to the Dev section, but didn't see an AT&T dev forum for this phone.
Thanks

The carrier isn't significant unless you're using a Sprint or Verizon branded Galaxy Nexus. All other Galaxy Nexus devices (the GSM models) are basically identical. The only black sheep is the Docomo model, which seems to have issues due to the SIM lock in place.

How would I be able to tell if its the Docomo model? This is it right here

If you buy it from Google it isn't the Docomo model.

Basically All GSM GNex owners go to the Android development forum. CDMA (Sprint and GNex) go to their respective forums

To be clear, there is no such thing as an AT&T Galaxy Nexus. From the Play Store, there is only one Galaxy Nexus (takju), which is unassociated with any one carrier and is compatible with AT&T's network (as well as every other GSM network).
Any thread or ROM that refers to just "Galaxy Nexus" with no mention of Verizon, Sprint, toro, toroplus, LTE, or CDMA will likely apply to your phone. The only exception would be if you're flashing radios since those are differentiated by region, but if that's something you're interested in, I'd suggest researching thoroughly before attempting

Thanks a lot for the input guys. I live in CA so I doubt I'd have to mess with the radio lol. Nexus should be here next week!

The baseband that the Play Store GNex ships with (at least mine did anyway) was XXLA2 which is actually a European baseband. It should work fine, but you may have better luck in terms of signal strength/quality/speeds if you use another radio. I know flashing UGLA4 (a North American baseband) on my GNex has proven best for me
If at some point down the line you do want to look into this stuff, I'd suggest this XDA thread on the topic.

Thats nice, a thread where no one was rude even though the answer would be obvious to most on this forum. Some people are so condescending..

[Q] 800mhz CDMA on I747?

Hi all. I747m locked to Virgin Mobiles network. Does anyone know if I could run on Tbaytel's 800mhz CDMA without a SIM unlock? Visiting family for xmas in rural Canada and would really love to at least have talk+text enabled. Thanks for the help!

Your i747m doesn't have a CDMA radio, so to directly answer your first question, no.
Poking around a bit, though, suggests that TBayTel is also running a HSPA+ network, and that they are also directly selling the i747m themselves - so the i747m is obviously compatible with at least their HSPA+ network.
I do not think you will be able to do so, however, without unlocking the phone. You might try here if you want to go through with that (the instructions are confirmed to work with the i747m so long as your device is running the stock Jelly Bean ROM - rooted or other wise - or, presumably, another ROM derived from those.)

Ahh too bad! I have a tbaytel SIM as well however I left it on the east coast. Unlocking for 4 days use isnt really necessary IMO. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks again smel! Wasnt sleepy yet so I went ahead and used the hidden menu unlock from the post you linked. Tested with my sisters Tbaytel SIM and worked like a charm. Merry whateveryoucallit-mas and congrats on surviving the apocalypse!

T-Mobile Version

I need some help! I don't know if this has been answered, I've looked and I haven't found a topic on this
I want to buy this phone on Amazon because I don't wanna add a line and I wanna use my Amazon Credit Card so I wanna buy this on there
but I'm lost of which unlocked version works with T-Mobile LTE
any help will be appreciated!
and sorry Mods if you wanna mode this thread to the Q&A Section, seems more of a question than General Information of the device, Thanks!

IIRC, and I'm only answering because I haven't seen anyone else pitch in yet, only the T-Mobile variant works completely with T-Mobile (obviously).
The next closest one is the AT&T variant, but I think I remember reading that you might not get full LTE support (dual band use) on it.
For the most part, all of the GSM variants will work on T-Mobile, but you will not get LTE connections, at the most, just 3G.
When I was searching for the G3, I remember bumping into that problem of no Tmo LTE bands on the unlocked variants.
So, I just went with the Tmo branded 851 and flushed the receipt down the toilet (after making a copy, of course )
