Hello,
thankyou for taking the time out to read this.. i have a question, I have an htc FUZE (touch pro) flashed with energy rom leo and my girlfriend has the htc Tilt 2 (touch pro 2) flashed with energy rom leo. oops that totally besides the point.lol just wanted to brag a lil anyways my friend came across a touch pro 2 from a barber, he held on to it for a few days before he decided to call sprint and activate it.. so when he does the phone is reported lost or stolen and he cant do anything with it, or can he? im thinking if i can take it off his hands and unlock the SIM can i use it? its a sprint branded htc touch pro..or is it a paperweight now?
Thanks in advance.

I think you can if you sim unlock it and also even then you still cant use 3g speeds but can use the edge
Man I hope theres a way. if so i know he'll sell it to me CHEAP anyone know what to try? or point me in the right direction? im looking at SIM unlockers? am i warm or cold?
If I am not mistaken the Sprint version of the touch pro does not have a sim card,( I may be wrong ) and if that is the case then no it cant be used on a sim card based network.
Was not gonna say it but.....Not the right section. This really doesnt have anything to do with rom development.
actually it does have a sim card i seen underne
HTML:
ath the battery compartment already and i see a white sim looking card in there. ill see the phone in a few hours ill take a pic n post it up. also sorry will a moderator please move this to the correct forum.
yes my sprint tp2 has a sim card. pay to get the sim unlocked and there you go.

I was aware that the Touch pro 2 had a sim slot, he has a Fuze\Touch pro
Ok I was wondering if I remembered right. Here is a convo on this same subject found with a simple search
http://eliteeternity.com/elite-tuto...-sprint-touch-pro-to-mighty-rom/#comment-1741 hi admin
you are doing an awesome job. i just had a question. it may sound stupid enough, but i am a noob. so there you go
i just got sprint touch pro. i use att carrier, is it possible to unlock touch pro to be used with att.
sprint is cdma, while att is gsm. can it be swapped? that is use sim card of att on sprint’s htc touch pro?
would appreciate if you could throw some light on this.
thanks

No. That is IMPOSSIBLE. There are GSM, and CDMA Phones. There are also hybrids with both GSM and CDMA. (the touch pro 2 will be hybrid)
The Sprint Touch Pro does NOT have a SIM card slot, and the GSM version does. Sorry Mike, but you’re screwed.
This is the very reason CDMA folks want an iPhone or something similar so bad. Because you can jailbreak an ipod (see fluffyphones.com if you want to) and use with AT&T or T-Mobile. But not Verizon or Sprint.
Sim Card Slot In CDMA Phones
The Sim Slot on your Sprint phone is for Contact use. The Sim Slots in CDMA Phones are for storing Contact Information Only.
Dammit i was hoping it would work, o well ill just have to wait and shell out the cash for the tilt 2. thankyou everyone.
I think the OP is saying that his friend found a TP2 (NOT a Touch Pro), and wants to unlock it. This thread here (started by Olipro) shows how to a security unlock and flash a patched radio onto the Sprint TP2 so it works on AT&T. Pocketnow also wrote an article and created a video concerning just that. However, the OP should not use these techniques if it is indeed a Touch Pro his friend found. Otherwise, it should work absolutely fine.
YAY i think were getting warm. My Friend NOT ME has a Sprint Touch Pro 2, that is reported stolen or lost. He didnt know that it was in that condition as his intentions were to use the phone. well he cant activate it, so he's offering it to me. but i have AT&T and im wondering if theres a way i can use it? even though its reported lost or stolen through sprint? THankyou
Am I the only one that think the phone shoud be taken to Sprint so they can return it the it rightful owner?
Come on, it just the right thing to do.
Maybe there's some BS on having contacted Sprint in the first place.
NAY.. cmon man if given the oppurtunity would u pass up a phone like this if it was offered to you for less than 100$$? i already have a HTC FUZE and my Girlfriend Has the Htc Tilt 2 so really its not a need its more of a want. And what he chooses to do with the phone is none of my business.. he's simply offering it to me becuase he bought it off a barber didnt ask no questions.. tried to reactivate it and thats when he ran into all the problems.. so im really his last resort to make sumthin back from his money.
i sim unlock verizon storm and used it on tmobile so the tp2 should work as well...sprint selling it as a worldwide phone so thats why theres a sim slot so if u travel outside the country u can buy a pay as u go sim card...s0 just unlock and use it on any gsm network

How would you feel if you lost your phone and come on this forum and see someone getting around the system to activate your lost...most likely stolen phone. (which it is at this point is stolen since you are planning on keeping it)
The technical idea of changing the radio is a cool idea for developers but if warez is banned on this forum then so should this thread on "how to steal a sprint phone and use on ATT".
This is a scumbag thread right here.
"How to re-up a stolen phone." WTF?
I agree... there is a large element of douchbagery associated with using someone's lost phone.
"Finders keepers" is fine when you are 10 years old.

Sorry. I know I'm not Mr. XDA or anything, but this place is where a bunch of cool people figure out complicated things and share their knowledge with others purely out of goodwill, and you come here asking them to advise you on how to make a stolen phone work. You're a class act, pal.
wow keep bashing man if u must know my phones are through [email protected] so do me a favor and im asking nicely.. if you have nothing nice to say dont say nothing at all. i was simply asking for some technical support to see if it would be worth my time n money to invest in this phone. otherwise.. act your age not your shoe size k.
You're asking nicely, and I'm saying "no," nicely. What you're looking for will enable the larger stolen phone market, but you don't see that, do you? No, no, you just "want" to have a better phone at the cost of the poor sucker that it was stolen from.
So, yeah..... no.
Is there a real guide on how to get a Sprint Evo 4G working on Boost Mobile? I have searched everywhere on various forums, but have come up empty handed. Except for some youtube videos, no1 wants to even talk on how to do it.
Wrong place for this question. Should be in Q & A.
Impossible to put EVO on Boost Mobile.

No, its not impossible. I have seen it for myself.
Just call Boost Mobile Customer Service, give then the ESN number, which must be clean, and have then activate the ESN. You must have a working Boost Mobile account prior to doing it. Do not tell them you have an EVO, just give them the ESN. Some reps will tell you right away it can't be done, others do not even look at the fact that it is a Sprint phone and just put it on the system. Keep trying, be courteus, if the 1st rep does not do it, call back. It has worked for me.
Lol no matter if he gives them the esn it dont have to be clean why u think people switch to cricket u need to flash the prl first and then manual add the wdb and mms settings u must have ur boost number first just follow the cricket guide but google boost mms and web servers and uze them along with ur boost prl

do what he said but instead of calling back just go onto boostmobile.com and do it there you may need to enter the esn number 3 or 4 times but it will take it.

THANK YOU! Im reading like "are these ppl serious?" Calling boost with an Evo Esn # will get u nowhere they're not gonna activate it Period. if it was that simple Sprint would have NO business. I dont know the Step by Step (but i seen the process) but the evo must be properly flashed to work with boost (too much work for me so i jus had a friend of a friend do it for me for $70) and from wut i understand its technically illegal cus it involves esn cloning an other trickery blah blah...politics

No your wrong boost is owned by sprint and their cdma phones run off of sprint network truth is a Evo could run on boost cdma portion if and only if you get someone dumb enough to activate the esn and imei on there without checking what type of phone it is I've seen both Evo's and here's on boost. Truth is those people got lucky and no no esn cloning is needed like I said you just need someone dumb enough to NOT CHECK WHAT PHONE IT IS! You won't have 4G but you still get 3G, all possible cause THEY RUN ON THE SAME NETWORK AND SIGNAL

Im not exactly wrong, I know boost is owned by sprint and I see wut ur saying ..yes if u get lucky enough to get a rep to just blindly activate an evo then lucky u. ESN cloning is an (illegal) precaution cus believe it or not most of the reps do their job an will deny activation. but let's say they do activate it that way, everything is not gonna work like web an mms those settings HAVE to be manually altered.
The whole point is for boost to think u have one of there phones... any rep has the right to shut u down if they see an evo on ur account

Thx but no Thx Ive brought many boost/nextel phones. i90/i95/i730/i530/i930 etc. I even use to mod them. Now Ive UPGRADED to have an ANDROID Evo an Im not Downgrading/buying another crappy boost phone. SO if anyone has any useful info plz inform me. Also Ive seen u can gsm unlock the phone how useful is that.
Probably a quick answer and a stupid question Im assuming... but can this phone be used on a different carrier such as Verizon?

No Verizon but I'm sure it won't be long before they start flashing it to Boost or Cricket Mobile...
You cant use it on verizon legally, also im pretty sure you can change the prl to verizon
i think within a month or two people will start flashing this over to boost/metro/cricket even virgin mobile
Hmm, well, shoot. The reason I asked is because my work only uses Verizon as its carrier for phones and my boss stated that if it would work on Verizon they would purchase it at full price and allow me to swap it with my current phone. It was their way of saying "thanks for not leaving after a 10% pay cut and not bonus this year."
Thanks for the info, guys.

read post #4
it would be good to know which phone is best to use with each carrier for using the SPH-L710 on those carriers and will allow ACTIVATION.
i think there is a problem with some donor phones only having esn/meid and not having an imei like the S3 does.
same thing about some donor phones only have "3G" while the S3 has "4G LTE" and that is actually a GSM built-in sim card isnt it?
anyhow there are definately some wrong combinations you should not do if you want to do activation.
i just noticed i posted this in the "General" section when it needs to go in the "Q&A"
if a moderator could move it i would appreciate it.
sorry and thanks
Well, I think ib4l describes what this thread will be.

Since it involves cloning an ESN I'm guessing that it will. I get that most people asking about this are legit, but it hits a big gray area.

Yes, there are plenty of threads about getting phones working on other networks, but they tend to stay away from the subject of doner phones which is ESN cloning.
BTW, if it turns out I'm wrong, I'll be the first to apologize for my mistake.

After hours of reading i decide to post im really stresfull with this situation. i bought a phone trough ebay i live in dominican republic but when i insert the SIM CARD say " NO SIM CARD" like if i had not put anything. i saw in the post that sprint has somehting modified to dont let no one activate the phone until we call them. i was trying to call them but there are asking me for a phone number and the phone doesnt have any phone number like the CDMA always do.
PLEASE!! there is any way to remove that security and unlock the phone without call sprint ?
if there is any how can i do that because i dont want to lose the money that i paid and im very needing this phone.
i tried lot of thing like the ##3282 and enable the LTE , BAND 26 AND 41 also i have my msl code but nothings appears to work.
Do i need to sell the phone for parts or i will need to wait till someone resolve this problem bz as i think is a software solution ....

Bottom line you shouldn't have bought the Sprint model. Sprint sends out the unlock code/unlocks the phone over their network and you being in the D.R, you're out of luck.

It's not as complex as you are making it out to be, don't crush people's hope if you don't have facts behind it. Yes it wasn't a good idea to get the sprint one, but the deed is already done. Both the S4 and the HTC ONE were unlocked without sprint sometime after their release, I believe it will be the same case for the G2.

...and you have the "facts" that the G2 will be unlocked or you just want to "believe"? This belief of yours is based on what facts exactly? The HTC One and S4 are/were much more massively popular devices and attract much more attention. You are chastising me for being a realist yet all you're giving the O.P is your belief, just that.
I'm not crushing anyone's hope (where in blazes did you even get that from ). Why suffer through the wait for an unlock when the choice is there for O.P to get rid of it for as much as he/she can still get for it and get the GSM version.

Hi,
Happy New Year everyone!!
I'm in India and am getting a great deal on a Sprint LG G2. Only thing is that i have yet to find an unlock for it. Do the codes given by the unlock sites work? Or does anyone have any sort of idea/clue?
Please keep this thread alive. The price difference for me is substantial and I have kept my purchase of the LG G2 on hold for the moment.
If anyone can help I would be really grateful.
Regards,
George Mathews
sometimes they can also give you unlock instructions thro email so what I would do is call sprint and ask whats the worse they can say? all they can really say im sorry but we cant help? I would really just call sprint
I just got the tmobile model I paid 100 bucks more than the sprint model on craigslist. I dont have sprint service and they told me that i have to have a 2 year contract with them. That they wont do prepaid plans to this phone.. Ridiculous but that's how they work. As Sprint i dont think they will unlock your phone since you didn't bought it from them.

Sprint's international phones get unlocked OTA (Over The Air) while registered on the network, meaning the unlock codes/mechanism are sent to the phone from Sprint itself. Unlocker websites will not work.
Other alternative is to wait for someone to develop an unlock solution like they did for the Sprint HTC One and Galaxy S4.
...or get a proper GSM LG G2 variant.
Oh, you guys are going to laugh... it's so simple... edit /system/build.prop and change ro.build.target_operator=SPR to ro.build.target_operator=OPEN
THAT'S ALL FOLKS! I see this is from last month, but some may not know that yet, and I came here by Google search, because my stupid phone which is an active Sprint phone started showing no SIM card, and I can't figure out how to make it go away.

i tried lot of thing like the ##3282 and enable the LTE , BAND 26 AND 41 also i have my msl code but nothings appears to work.
Do i need to sell the phone for parts or i will need to wait till someone resolve this problem bz as i think is a software solution ....

Edit prop file in systen folder and remove Spr in: xxx.carrier=SPR
Basically delete SPR at the end of the line. And your sim will work. Verified.
Hope this helps someone. I get so much from this forum and hopefuly I can give back.
How can I edit that part?

Download ROM toolbox which has a built in build.prop editor (You must be rooted to do this). If you're doing this, change the OPEN to spr (lower case) and then reboot, otherwise you will get system UI crashes.
But... there is now a permanent unlock for the ls980. Please check the Sprint section.
