LOTS MEMBERS...FLASH WITHOUT NOWING THE FW..VERSION...AND SET GET LOCKED.. SUBSCIDARY CODE,P2K AND PDA GROUP..IDECIDED TO MAKE SMALL TUTERAL..TO MAKE THIS CLEAR
1) Download SBF RECALC http://www.4shared.com/file/12999005...ecalc_128.html
2.Create a folder and put your locked flashfile into it.
3) Open SBF RECALC.
4) Click on "Open Flash-file" and select the one you want to unlock.
5) Click on "Split Flash-file".
6) Click on Open CG-Folder and select the folder that contains the splitted firmware (it is the same one).
7) In "Advanced" tab, make sure that "Remove Ask for Lock" is checked
 Click on "Recalc Checksum". When it finishes there will be a message like: "n Sim- or Netlock found and removed".
9) Click on "Create SBF-File". Now the unlocked firmware is in "SBF-FlashFile" subfolder. Flash it.
NOTE: Should SBF Recalc say when clicking on "Recalc Checksum": "n Sim- or Netlock, already unlocked", then the firmware is already unlocked. |

For those who are wondering, DO NOT TRY IT. Not only this method is only designed for GSM-only TP2s (our CDMA/GSM combo TP2 will NOT work), it still mentioned flash the firmware, which cannot be done yet because the HardSPL unlocker has NOT yet been released.
As for the subsidy (network) lock for US-bound CDMA/GSM combo TP2s, FCC has a regulation to limit ALL US CDMA carriers to lock down their GSM part for ALL US GSM carriers. I've been talking with Sprint's Tier 2s regarding this matter and they have confirmed with me that our CDMA TP2 DOES NOT, again I repeat, DOES NOT have a subsidy (network) lock, EXCEPT for US-GSM carriers due to FCC regulations. If you take it outside of the States and use a non-US provider SIM card, it WILL work!
FCC has them locked down so until we figure out how to unbrick it, we will have to wait.
