hence why you need the modelid

now here is the kicker...

Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...

when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.

in short, bad things happen.

And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...

which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...

any questions?
Can you tell me what SHOULD be in there for the TP2.. I am glad you told me this. I tried sprint TV and I just get a black screen and the EXIT button.. I want to put everything back the way it was...

can someone create a CAB that puts the SPRINT TP2 modelid back?
