I just got a new TP2 from my brother because he no longer has sprint. I currently have no service; but I hate Sprint! I know its possible to flash your cdma sprint tp2 to cricket; I just have a couple of concerns. will i lose any of my apps, will i be able to run android 2.0 ; can i install programs w/o any worries. I really don't want to brick my phone! I just want to know if there any risks or any big disadvantages. thank you

No flashing is need just google for cricket settings.

Really I can't find any easy directions on how to do this. Most of the websites are saying they'll do a text and talk flash and a full flash.

There are really good instruction here: http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=336

I have a touch pro 2 flashed to cricket too. It's a little cumbersome to set up at first, but once you have everything done it works great.

you could always get someone else to set it up then use a cricket custom ROM from here:
here's an example when I search touch pro2 here in san antonio, many tp2 on cricket ads:
http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/sea...ery=touch+pro2
then you could flash a cricket ROM:

though you might need to flash custom ROM, then have it switched to cricket. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

I too am curious. I used the ROM found here on PPC Geeks but I cant get ANYTHING besides talk and text to work (anything requiring data connection). Can anyone help me? Does anyone know the data configurations? ie is it #777 to get a data connection? Please help I am so dumb.
