Questions on ROM with TP on Boost

[mike198169]

Hello I have a Touch Pro on boost now my question is when I unlock the phone for a custom rom my service doesnt work so I relocked it. Now my question is if i unlock it then install a rom will the phone work on boost still?

I thought Boost was the iDEN network, where as the Touch Pro's were either CDMA or GSM..you got one working on Boost?

[mike198169]

Yes I have one working on Boost. Boost still supports cdma but does not advertise it. There are various sites that explain the whole process. I get the 3g internet gps and all the goodies . I just am trying to now figure out if I can put a custom rom on this or not

That's interesting. So, I think I would just try it. You could always flash back to stock and relock the phone.

if i flashed the rom and it ad no service i could reflash too stock sprint rom and it would be fine?

[mike198169]

well im flashing now with energy rom we will see if boost service will still work

does it work?

[mike198169]

After the intense couple of minutes im happy to say it is working with the energy 6.5 rom phew !! It would have sucked if for some reason I had no service.

Sweet..I figured it would. The ROM really has nothing to do with the service (as I understand it)...now changing the radio might mess something up, but idk..

I thought it would work I was just nervous something would go wrong..thats just my luck but its working great
