Really? That is very, very strange. To be clear, are you getting these from a Sprint store repair center or via Asurion (insurance)? Do you have a TEP plan?

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.

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.

I think you are correct. Someone on xda mentioned the Eris had similar hardware and wondered if we can use the binary ril. I tried but the phone crashes once it boots. I dont think the eris lib will work with a diff kernel version.
