Re: HTC TP2 unlocking
 

you can do all the things you want
you can unlock install a custom rom
if you need to you can install the stock rom and relock

1 - Follow the guide/sticky in the CDMA Upgrades subforum (it's not the clearest of instructions, but read as you do and it'll make sense)
2 - USCC won't service your phone while it's unlocked & running a custom ROM (if their policies are the same as Sprint & Verizon)
3 - If something happens and you're unable to relock your phone, then maybe your insurance covers smashed equipment? lol
4 - Yes, you can flash the stock ROM back on the phone and relock it.
5 - You do not lose any hardware functions by unlocking your phone but, depending on the ROM you install, not all the programs you're currently use to may be in the custom ROM.

1) Make sure you TP2 is at least 50% battery
2) Unlock your device
3) Download and unzip(if zipped) ROM of your liking(make sure you unlocked you device prior - very crucial)
4) Connect TP2 to PC with (extended or regular)mini-usb to USB cord
5) Make sure it says "connected"(does not have to by synced just connected) in either ActiveSync(WinXP or prior) or WMDC (Vista/7)
6) Double click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe(could be called something else but its exe file in folder of your new ROM on pc)
7) Click next about gazillion times, and wait about 2 mins(it says 10 but its much faster)- DO NOT DISCONNECT TP2 FROM PC DURING UPDATE!!!
8) After PC screen says done(not before that!!!) you can disconect TP2 and follow set up instructions after it resets

ROM = OS(PDA part) - what you see
Radio = phone part(responsible for signal) - what you hear:)

I keep getting a site that requires an IMEI, all I have is a serial number and an MEID in HEX and DEC. How can you unlock the phone when the only site that does it uses an IMEI? Any direction will be GREATLY appreciated!
