[SPRINT RADIO Unlocker]Sprint RhodiumW WU Radio Unlocked for US Networks
 

what is this? - this package unlocks your Sprint phone and will enable it to use a US SIM card on a US network in your device - if you flash a non-supported (non-patched) radio over a supported one (as below), you will lose the ability (a reflash will restore it easily of course).

if you have a Verizon or Telus model, you will not need this.

WU means Worldphone Unlocked, look out for the WU on all radio
firmwares to indicate whether it's been patched as unlocked or not! (WV = locked.)
this first radio version is 2.05.00WU and the second one is 1.96.00WU, for people who had issues with 2.05.

YOU MUST BE SECURITY UNLOCKED IN ORDER TO USE THIS!!!- if you are not Security unlocked, you will get a Flash Write Error.



DOWNLOAD BELOW:

1. 1.96.00WU (Sprint stock edited) -> this is the recommended version!!!
2. 2.05.00WU (USCC test edited)




again all the important notes to use this:
1. you must be security unlocked to flash this, see link above!!!!
2. the patch will not stay if you flash another radio but we'll release patched versions for other radios from time to time (for newest radios).
3. when you flashed the radio, you need to make sure to be in GSM mode (GSM SIM inserted of course http://forum.xda-developers.com/imag...lies/smile.gif ), and if automatic network selection doesn't work, use manual selection in phone/options to register on the network.

copypasting my post from other thread..... maybe helps to clear up some confusion :)


SIM Unlock: allows you to use any SIM in your phone, i.e. the phone recognizes and accepts the SIM without prompting you for an unlock code. it is permanent without special tinkering. no worries with warranty, no need to reverse it.

Security Unlock: this one is what you need for flashing whitestone radios or the patched sprint radio! this unlocks the entire radio and you can do with it whatever you wish. :grin:
it is permanent, to reverse it for warranty issues, you have to send a special command to the radio, here is a file to do this for you: http://hpcmonex.net/htc/secrelock.zip (run it on the phone)

CID Unlock/True SuperCID in Radio: it clears the CID in the radio (note, HardSPL also CID unlocks you in a way, but it's only fake CID clearing) this used to be interesting in the past, on GSM devices not so interesting now. on previous CDMA devices it was very useful to be SuperCID but let's not talk about that. :wink: I don't know if it is still good for this model, didn't look into it yet... :smile:
also permanent unless you set the CID to something else, again using special commands.

CID Unlock VS HardSPL: if you just need to flash cooked ROMs, HardSPL will suffice. but note, this package bundles HardSPL too for comfortability.

Sprint Patched Radio: this allows the phone to register on US networks. not permanent, if you reflash radio to an unpatched one, this gets lost.

i think i brick my phone now. hahaha the whole unlock process working fine but when i run RhodiumWUnclocker.exe It went all the way to 100% then i got ERROR (290) and now it's in bootloader mode

Well, it's good to know that i'm not the onlyone. :)
I guess I will be without my phone for a bit

Cmonex, any help?

Re: Sprint Unlocker - RhodiumW WU Radio Unlocked for US Networks
 

i guess i did the same , its stuck in bootloader mode , how can i fix this issue ?

Re: Sprint Unlocker - RhodiumW WU Radio Unlocked for US Networks
 

nono, very easy to solve that fluke, grab the public hardspl package, use manual mode, flash, it'll reboot OK

Re: Sprint Unlocker - RhodiumW WU Radio Unlocked for US Networks
 

Cmonex, thanks so much. more donation on it ways. Any idea what went wrong? alright, i dint finish the unlucker.

It works great with my att sim, but i dont know how do configure the data to work

Re: Sprint Unlocker - RhodiumW WU Radio Unlocked for US Networks
 

it sounds like even though you ran the sim unlocker you didn't actually unlock your security. the exact same thing happened to me when i tried to flash the unlocked radio. but since i really don't feel like getting flamed for posting the exact same thing on two different threads, here's a link.... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...10&postcount=4

I gotta say i'll be pretty surprised if it works... i coulda sworn i read somewhere that the rhodium cdma/gsm wasn't setup to do data on the gsm network. then again, they've told us that a lot of things weren't possible with these phones... i'm still waiting on an fm radio lol

Re: Sprint Unlocker - RhodiumW WU Radio Unlocked for US Networks
 

and I'll be pretty surprised if it doesn't work.. :)
