I read somwhere that Simlock=7,0 unlocks the scurity_flag on some HTC phones, so this is either not unlocked in the patched radio, or it's not what we are looking for. We need to keep looking.

I'm looking at other options too. It looks like the actual problem with the Sprint TP2 with USA GSM is not in the actual radio itself. I flashed the Sprint TP2 with Verizon ROM, which has the Verizon version of the radio, and it still did not work, if the Radio was the problem that would have unlocked it since Verizon's radio does not block US GSM frequencies.

I think that the problem of locking out the US GSM radios on the Sprint TP2 is in the NV ram. What I found so far is that one of the frequencies of the US GSM is not assigned an antenna for broadcasting or receiving radio frequencies. I think that the reason it starts working after flashing a US Radio, when it is Security unlocked, is that the flashing of the radio by itself forces the firmware to update the NV ram and assign the spectrum TX/RX correctly thus making it work. So in addition to having an option of unlocking security and flashing a US radio, we might be able to just activate the spectrum TX/RX for US frequencies. I could be wrong but currently I think that that's what is happening.
