This was how I got my TP2 (TEP Ausrion insurance claim), but there is plenty of additional info on this subject out there:

Aside from that, and given that you've been through 3 in the last 30 days, you have more than enough solid evidence to demand better from them. You'll need to speak up for yourself, but just tell them that a another TP1 just isn't going to cut it. You tried to let them fix the problem their way, and they failed. Time for them to try something else - like getting you a TP2.

first two were in store replacement orders, third was over the phone, then when i brought the third refurb back to the original store they ordered me a touch pro2 and i am loving every minute of it. i have had it for almost a week now. yes i do have the 7$ TEP/insurance and i did not go through asurion and pay any deductibles for any of them. not even my tp2.

Has vilord dropped by to help with the ril? It was suggested (by phussion on xda) to use htc_hw.force_cdma=1 on the command line, but that just prevents registration entirely. I've tried tracing the AT commands sent on Windows Mobile when changing from Global to CDMA or GSM/HSPDA only modes, but I have been unsuccessful. This only requires setting a registry key but I don't have regedit installed. In cdma only mode force_cdma=1 may work but I can't be sure. The problem is likely to be it checking for the sim card and attempting to register to a gsm network. If anybody is willing to test RIL patches and can build them please drop by #htc-linux on irc.freenode.net and look for phh, vilord or me (tmzt).

I'm not sure what libhtc-ril.so is. I think (but am not sure) it is the RIL from htc that comes on their Android devices (Magic, Dream, etc.); if so, I think (but am not sure) there's just a binary floating around, and no source.

libhtcgeneric-ril.so is almost certainly the android-htc-ril built by the community. Unless there's something else out there I don't know about, that's probably where you want to spend your time and effort. At this point, the CDMA support is pretty threadbare. (Not that it should need a whole lot). And the CDMA/GSM support is nonexistent.

Edit: Just noticed this as well, from the vogue guys: androidhtc ril
It hasn't been updated lately, and I assume there's nothing in there that didn't get into the gitorious repo, but there might be.

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of communication recently. I've been tied up at work to say the least. It will be at least another week until I can really dive back into this. Good news is that it looks like Mr Pippy and several other devs now have rhodium's in hand. I've been looking over the recent code additions and it looks like they have already identified and merged some of the code fixes I've implemented in my custom build into the main project. I'll see what I can do to help them get up to speed on anything they are missing. If anyone is interested in building their own RIL please PM me and I'll write something up.
Sorry for the slow progress here on my end, life has been busy!!!

I for one am just glad to hear that you are alive and well, work on it at your convenience, I don't want you to feel pressured from us and just give up. Thanks for your hard work, and willingness to work with others.

Hi everyone, thought I'd introduce myself. I got a RHOD400 last week and I've been working with WiFi for the last few days. Tonight I was able to connect it to my network and surf the web a little :occasion5:.

It's very experimental at the moment: I had to choose a network and set the network parameters from the command line (with wpa_cli), and Android doesn't realize where the connection is coming from. Since the Touch Pro 2 uses the Broadcom BCM4325 WiFi chip (unlike the TI chip used by every other HTC phone up until now), our current Android build needs some fixes. This shouldn't be hard though, since the Nexus One and Motorola Devour (among others) use Broadcom WiFi--I actually compiled this driver from the Motorola Devour source code.

Hopefully within a few days we can release a build for everyone to try--there's been some nice improvements since 95civic's last release. makkonen and phh ported a new touchscreen driver that works really well, I brought over some HTC patches that increase the amount of RAM we can use (70 MB more), and it'll be great to see this WiFi working properly.

Let me be the first to say that this is great news and a big thank you to all of you who have been working in this, especially Civic, but the same thanks to all of the new devs who are starting to work on this as well! THANK YOU ALL!!!=D>
