Since when is Telus GPS locked? The only Touch Pro that has the GPS locked is Verizon. What makes you think it's locked? I think you might just have the settings wrong. Did you make sure the Location Setting is on? Click Start-Settings-Phone, click on the Services tab, highlight Location Setting, then clcik on the Get Settings button.

Just got a replacement touch pro CDMA Sprint. I have done this to my last phone but now when I attempt to flash I get error code 260, active sync is fine, stock rom shipped with the device, disabled all firewall, av products, the phone starts into the grey "Loading screen" but never makes it any further and on the computer screen i get the progress bar but just sits a 0%, I have tried on 2 different computers what gives? Also I was able to successfully flash the sprint shipped EXE rom without issues after not being able to flash the SPL this was the next thing I did to verify that I can flash.

Hey Formula84, I see you already successfully unlocked via sd card, but wanted to put this info in here for other people having the connection error.
Are you sure you are following the "Preparations before flash" and all of the instructions located in the first post of this thread? Your problem could be a few different things. Try changing this Settings-Connections-USBtoPC, and turn "Advanced Network" under ActiveSync off. If that doesn't work then how about flashing via the microsd card here. It's very easy. good luck

Actually, I just got a US Cellular touch pro, and it seems to be GPS locked

I did as you said, but the google maps programs still cant seem to find me.

Did you update with QuickGPS first? Are you clicking on Menu, then Use GPS, in Google Maps? If so, what does it say in the top right corner?

EDIT: As soon as i read your post i went over to the howardforums to see if it was workin for everyone else and saw your post there too. haha. So, did you get it working? It's unlocked according to them. http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...s#post12476934

Hey, I just need someone to clarify this bit for me. I bought the HTC Touch Pro for sprint. However I want to use it with Verizon. Do I just flash the Verizon SPL?

Thanks

I wish it was that easy. First off, you do not have to unlock the phone to use it on verizon. You would have to "reprogram" it, which just means changing several of the EPST settings and the loading a verizon PRL. Second, I hear lately that it's practically impossible to get a non-verizon phone activated with Verizon. Third, if you did want to unlock your sprint touch pro, you would have to use the spl unlocker for sprint phones, which is the .37 version, not the verizon .35 version. Hope that answers your question. There are threads on here discussing this and also plenty other website forums.

fine I wont say the dirty word
