His answer....Nope can only do it on sprint, verizon and uscellular cdma world edditions tmobile version has no cdma components in it and is gsm only

Dude, he has a Sprint CDMA phone, he said the sim (for the worldphone part works ok)

I would think it would need to be unlocked, I belive the stickies on the top of the forum would unlock it, but not sure what they would have to do to allow it to work though

He said he bought the Sprint Touch Pro 2, so it has CDMA and GSM. The GSM part I know is already unlocked, for sure. But he said he was going to use it on a CDMA carrier, so I don't know if the CDMA is unlocked or not.

How can I unlock my HTC TP2 Sprint?
I read the article about flashing ROMs but I still didn't understand how to do it.
What is needed to unlock?
Please, help me. I don't want to pay extra $50 to unlock it. My HTC Diamond CDMA was registered perfectly.

You are right. GSM part works perfectly! No need to unlock! HSDPA, 3G all works perfectly. I also want to use it on a CDMA carrier.

Anyone that has flashed a Sprint phone to Cricket or Metro or any other carrier can probably tell you what you need. I'm surprised nobody that fits that description has chimed in on this thread yet.

Just look at everyones carrier near their user name and if you see someone using Cricket or Metro and ask them what you need to do.

Psychobaby, please tell me how you flashed to work on other carrier.

For CDMA, unlocking doesn't have anything to do with flashing. You just need the MSL and know how to get into the programming instructions. There are a variety of ways to get the MSL, either trying to find it through the phone or using various techniques to get Sprint to tell it to you. I haven't needed it on mine though, so I haven't tried anything. Here's a thread that might help:

You'll also need to sort out how to get the PRL for the carrier on the phone.

Mine was a sprint cdma tp1 had to unlock it first then I flashed Drunks cricket rom ( carrier specific) found the nationwide prl put it on my sd card updated through phones programing menu gave cricket my esn and activated my phone did ota programing and got the updated prl since the one I used was nationwide not for my specific area.
Honestly it was pretty easy with help I got here as well as on howardforums.com the people here are really friendly some not so friendly at hofo...I asked a friend who works flashing phones and he said something about hacks needed for the world edition tp2 I can ask again where to find em.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you...I hope this helps a little.

I found out my MSL 6 digit code today!
Now I can access the EPST to enter the PRL or whatever they call it.
Gonna take it to the carrier tomorrow.
I think there shouldn't be any problem with ESN. 'Cause my previous phone was also Sprint branded HTC Diamond CDMA. Moreover, the carrier is accepting Sprint branded HTC Hero.
Hope they ain't gonna make a problem.
Thank you very much.
Gonna post the results tomorrow!
