TP2, Not using CDMA any more, flash to GSM

[lan_baba]

I don't know if it is ok or not for what I want to do. I currently have a Sprint Touch Pro 2, but I have no plan to use the CDMA network, so is there a GSM ROM I can flash to? Thanks.

Never flash a GSM specific anything to your CDMA device. To gain GSM access you'll need to HSPL unlock, SIM unlock then flash a new radio. Search or check the Rhodium CDMA stickies for more info and step by step instructions.

I have a Sprint TP2 (i live in London). I bought it just for the 3.5mm jack. The sprint CDMA phones (as far as I'm aware) are already GSM unlocked to make it easier for their customers to ROAM. Mine definitly was, I just inserted my Vodafone Sim Card and switched it GSM (All Settings/Phone) and hey presto it's all good.

But definitley do NOT flash a GSM ROM to this phone it may brick it. There are plenty of good CDMA ROMS about here and on PPCGeeks (which leans a little more to CDMA).

Cheers.

this is like the 4th thread about this from the op, hopefully it has sunk in that this can't be done.
