Here's the thing, AS LONG AS you can get a signal to your local provider, AKA it shows the provider's name and you can make calls, it doesn't matter which ROM you have on it, as long as it's for CDMA devices (DO NOT FLASH GSM ROMs onto it, you'll brick it), this phone will work. It doesn't really have a lock on CDMA handsets because the provider is the one that has the range of ESN that the provider approves.

Your problem will be provisioning the data connection and other settings.

P.S. are you CDMA Workshopping it?

A sign is attached to each of those taps that give instructions on how and when to order those specific beers. He looks up at the bartender and says: "Excuse me, I am new in town, could you tell me where I would go to get a beer?"

lol good call. kinda like the chick in clerks asking where the new movies are when the sign is right behind her

SIR I AM AWARE OF GSM AND CDMA VER OF HTC TOUCH PRO, THIS A HTC RAPHEL CDMA, I WNT TO KNOW IF UNLOCK IT BY HARD SPL FOR THIS MODEL AND W/O ROM CHANGE , WILL IT BE UNLOCKED FROM SPRINT??

NO, HEARED BUT NEVER USED CDMA WORKSHOP

"Unlocking" using the SPL is mainly so you can install unsigned software onto the phone. It won't by itself give you a phone that will work on Reliance.

In particular:

The big important one is you'll need Reliance to allow your ESN to be activated on their system.

You will probably need to provide a PRL so it will recognize the tower SID numbering scheme for reliance.

That's just a guess. Maybe the Sprint PRL uses wildcard entries so it'll recognize any tower. Don't know, haven't looked at a Sprint PRL in ages.

You can manually install a PRL onto a Sprint Touch Pro by dialing ##775#, then entering your MSL (which you need to either get from Sprint or there might be an app to recover it) Highlight "Update PRL" then press "Menu->Edit". It'll let you browse and install a PRL that works for Reliance.

Also you will probably need the EPST settings to get data working. If you are not familiar with that, dial ##3282# on your Sprint Touch Pro and "View Info->Advanced"

MMS will probably need some work too. Depends how Reliance implements MMS.

You can probably change much of this stuff using CDMA workshop as well.

Also there might be some automated provisioning system or flash procedure at a Reliance service shop that will do all this programming for you. Depends how motivated Reliance is at keeping you happy.
