Has anyone ever used CDMA workshop before? I have downloaed but not messed with it yet, but from what I have seen I am guessing it may allow you to I dont know, convert GSM ROMs to CDMA..... I am merely speculating on this clearly I need to read into it but there doesnt seem to be a great deal of info on this software. If anyone has used it and or knows anything on it mind explaining it to me and for everyone else that comes across this thread? Thank you in advance.

CDMA Workshop, oh man. I've used that software to get a Helio Ocean phone to work and get activated with Verizon.
Now sure if they've added new features to the software, but I just remember it required you to connect to a COM port (have fun finding drivers for that!) so you could do things like read lock codes, find SPC/MSL codes, write new ESNs, and write new roaming lists.
Its been a while since I've seen anything about CDMA Workshop
This thread might help.

Hi all,
Please excuse the n00b-ness of the question, but I've been looking around and can't find what I'm after.
I'm lucky enough to have a CDMA Diamond (Vodafone UK) but naturally I'm bored with the stock ROM's. I've tried looking about for CDMA compatible ROM's but I'm drawing a blank.
Can anyone help by pointing me to the right place? I'd like a crack at the Energy-ROM series as they look rather tasty, but alas, from what I can work out - they're GSM only.
Am I being a total muppet or are there very few CDMA ROM's out there?
Cheers ta,
Jipper
Thanks for your help everyone, what you've said has been really helpful.
Thankfully, someone outside XDA has pointed me towards another site. Think I'll take my donations there. Fingers crossed they'll actually answer my posts, even if it is to say "Sorry, we can't help."

I'm sorry I do not have an idea
I was once like you trying to flash my phone but don't have a single idea how to do it lol although mines a gsm phone. (and am still quite a nooby on how to customize my device & etc)
Just try researching more and one day you'll find the right place.
Good Luck!

Hi Everyone,
As an individual that has recently migrated from the Hero forums where radio flashes are recommended on a willy nilly basis to "solve" common problems (such as GPS or wifi issues), I have to ask, why is the attitude on the opposite side of the spectrum here? I'm open to technical explanations or anything else that may be relevant.
On the Hero side of things, I noticed that most bricks were products of user error. Considering that HTC released both a GSM and CDMA version of the device (and naming them exactly the same), many unsuspecting users would brick by flashing a CDMA radio on a GSM Hero. In other cases, impatient users would pull the battery during the flashing process -- all while unaware of the consequences.
So, I'd like to hear different opinions on this seemingly contentious issue (as I do see users recommending radio flashes in light of the warnings from developers to not touch the radio at all).
Thank you.
Anybody recommending flashing radios on a "willy nilly basis" are flippin' retards. Doesn't matter if your phone is a 32A (Hero/Magic), 32B (Dream/Magic), or a Vision.
The risks are as follows;
1) An incorrect or incomplete flash WILL render the hardware "bricked".
2) A radio that is incompatible with the hardware or the SPL *WILL* render the hardware "bricked".
Go into the DREAM forums and count just how many people bricked their phones due to something really stupid, like incompatibility with the SPL.... there is always a chance that a new radio will be incompatible with an old SPL. Especially since there are FOUR DIFFERENT SPLs available for Vision.... US/International shipping SPLs, US/International ENGINEERING SPLs. Note that the ENGINEERING SPLs carry older version numbers than the SHIPPING SPLs, so new radios will NOT be made to have compatibility with engineering SPLs in mind.
Is there someone out there that can help clarify the proper way to determine the correct radio for each Desire Z that is out there? This would be the biggest help to all. Education of the proper procedure and the correct radios to use would be more of an asset than having everone scare each other with tales of the bricked phone! If we had an accurate listing for each phone with the MD5 of the files involved there would not be nearly as many bricked phones. I have no doubts the Mods would sticky it for us also.
This is a site that we all come to to learn and I am sure we all enjoy experimenting with our phones and want to do it as safely as possible.
I currently use an Inspire 4g and it took me 7 radios before I found the one that worked to my satisfaction with the rom I am using in the area of the world that I live in. I found it, now I leave it alone.
Why am I putting my .02 in you may ask? I am waiting for a desire Z that I bought on ebay to arrive so I can experiment with it as a spare phone. I just sold 2 Captivates that were spares to get the DZ. I would love to have an accurate source of information that I can further my own education.
I do not have the knowledge to do this or I would but I am sure there are some people that are a lot more intellegent than I that can.
Sorry to be so long winded but I wanted to make sure I did not come across sounding pushy. Just a thought to help all concerned.

Every phone sold in regular mobile phone shops on this earth is provided with the correct radio for the region where it is sold. As in a closed box with EMEI numbers and all the stuff on it. If you live in the outback of Australia and buy (through Ebay) a phone originated for Estonia then you could be in for a surprise.

That is exactly my point.
There are a lot of people that for one reason or another WILL change their radio. Why not make it so all that do are educated on the proper way to do it and have a correct listing of the proper radio for each device with the coresponding MD5 to minimize the issues? Is this not part of what xda is all about? IMHO it will help all concerned.

I've searched high and low, and found no definitive answer on how to get an HTC Evo working on Boost Mobile. Just a bunch of threads pre-2011 with flaming, some people saying it's impossible, some saying it's not and their phone works just fine with Boost.
My phone has been both rooted and carrier unlocked. Clean ESN and all that good stuff.
I need to know:
1) Is there any specific ROM I need to have to use Boost? If so, what is the link for that?
2) What PRL should I be using, and again, where can I find that?
Believe me when I say I've been searching through countless threads to find the answer. All there is to be found through searches is a pile of flaming.
Any help is much appreciated. And again, if there are threads on this, I certainly wasn't able to find them.
bump, someone help out a Marine?
You can use any rom with boost and you can use the latest sprint prl. The information needed to connect to boost is not at the rom level and boost uses sprint network so use a sprint prl. However you can't flash new radios without messing it up I believe. Roms are ok.
Wonderful. Thank you for the help!
You can flash nv/radio/pri without messing up your setup.

Some people can do it you have know the right folks people have to many theorys on if its legal issues and such. Cause it's way cheaper . That's why Google doesn't have to much info on it kinda like cloning esn and such .
Ever since I got this phone when it came out in the US I came on here and all I was seeing was GSM this and that. Now its even harder to find anything.
I used to work on phones with the help with the XDA forums. since last year I haven't found crap..well not much to get anywhere.
Just a suggestion.
I believe HTC Desire in the UK hit number one beating the iPhone so yes this phone is very popular and I really think there should be two threads for GSM Phones only and CDMA Phones only.
I spent hours on here and really didn't come up with anything that would help because by the time i finish reading it says for GSM phones only. URGH!!
I'm working on a CDMA Megathread, because it will hopefully bring in more development to our phones.
Thank you very much. I'm sure others will appreciate it as well.

I just want to root my phone. I'll keep reading more.
Nevermind I think I found what I need to read that you posted

Alright, I tried looking up info on this for about 2 days. I seen the guide but I can't find a CDMA Workshop and I really don't want to pay $108 for the program when I'd only use it once. I'm just at a wall here.
Anyway, I have a EVO 4g running metrodroid, Calling and mms works fine and all that. Like I said I went to follow the guide to try and get the internet working but I can't find that program. My question is if there is another way that I didn't see or something of that sort. I'm sorry if I seem really noobish. I come and look at this site alll the time and it's been a big help for me in the past but I just don't know what to do.
I would post a link here but, I'd be violating the forum rules. What I can say is to look for cdma workshop in youtube they have videos and links in description. Hope that helps.
