Well...I usually like to try things for more than half a day to see how they actually work, but with Verizon 2.23.00WV, with the phone sitting on my desk at work, it is constantly turning the screen on as it switches between very little EV service, to very little 1x service, to an edge connection...it just keeps changing between the 3, and turning the screen on every time. I understand that service blows in this building...so my hope is to find a radio that is more tolerant to that, and less likely to turn the screen on all the time.

So having read that Telus seems to be best about battery life, I figured maybe that means it's less likely to turn the screen on all the time...so I just flashed in the Telus 1.92WV radio...and the phone is sitting idle on my desk with the screen off...I'll try to leave it for longer and see if does what I'm hoping it will do.

So, any conclusions about which radios work the best for Sprint users in the Chicago area? I am running the Sprint 2.23WU radio right now, and it works pretty well, although the signal at home is a little spotty. It will sometimes switch from EV to 1X. But my stock phones before this did the same thing. Anyhow, I was curious if another radio would work better (western suburbs of Chicago, but I am all over the place for work, etc.). I was particularly interested in the Verizon 2.05 or the Telus 1.92 IIRC.

Thanks for all of the great work on these radios and on the unlocks - it vastly improves these phones!

Re: [UPDATE 01-15-10] Rhodium_W Radio ROMS Telus is up!
 

OK I bricked my phone lasy night trying to flash my first ROM. I mistakenly flashed a GSM ROM onto my CDMA Sprint Touch Pro2. Fortunately, I was able to recover and now am running MightyROMs WAR. In the third post on his ROM thread, under "Important Touch Pro2 Links", he recommends flashing a new radio.

Great. I really need it.

I do not get reception at my house at all. I called Sprint and they said that I am in a "dead zone" I have three towers in a triangle around me that apparently are all facing away from me. They said that they have had several complaints from other users in my area. The only solution for them would be to physically turn the towers. So, I need a new radio.

I read this entire thread. I have a couple of questions.


Does this mean that, since I have a CDMA phone that uses a SIM card, I can only flash the two radios on Cmocex's patched radio thread? What does he mean when he says I must be security unlocked to flash radios from other phones?


This post makes it seem like I can download any of the radios in this thread except the Sprint radios?

What does it mean "using other phones"? Again this reply makes it sound like I can use any radio on this thread. I am worried though that Mr.X said to only use the Cmonex radios. And he also said that I need to be security unlocked.

Would someone please set me straight here so I can flash one of these radios and use my phone at my house?

Thanks

flashing to another radio probably wont help you, but it's worth a try cause it only takes a minute to flash a radio and it doesn't do a hard reset, so it's quick and painless. you are already hspl unlocked, so you can flash any of the radios in the first post, unless it specifies that you need to be security unlocked, because those are from another device. if trying these other radios don't help you get service at your house, then if you wanted, you could see if tmobile or at&t have service where you live and then you could sim-unlock your phone and buy a tmobile or at&t sim card and use it in your phone.

That is where I am getting confused. The first thing the first post says is that you must be security unlocked for radios packed from other devices. I guess I just don't know enough about packing a radio file to flash. What do you all mean by "other devices" wouldn't each one of these have come from a different device? Or does device not mean phone?

Re: [RADIO COLLECTION] - - [UPDATE 01-15-10] Rhodium_W Radio ROMS [Mirrors Included]
 

all the radios in the first post are from our device. so you can flash to any of them now, except the 1.40 is from a test rom and you would have to be security unlocked for that one. Don't worry about that one radio...just go ahead and flash to any of the other radios to try them out.

Re: [RADIO COLLECTION] - - [UPDATE 01-15-10] Rhodium_W Radio ROMS [Mirrors Included]
 

Thank you. It is a lot clearer now. By device, you mean a different model of phone not just a different phone.

Another question:

I flashed the Verizon VZW_1.88.07WV. My phone did not detect the SIM card. Is that why I should only use Cmonex's radios? What effect will that have on my service?

Re: [RADIO COLLECTION] - - [UPDATE 01-15-10] Rhodium_W Radio ROMS [Mirrors Included]
 

device is another word for phone.
cmonex's radios are only for if you want to security and sim unlock your phone to use at&t or t-mobile sim cards.
what sim card do you have?
