well the name "buttplumber" is probably the first thing you have to "FLASH" lol J/K. Na, I really don't know. One of the first things you are going to have to do is get the esn on metro. I don't know how "hard" that will be but good luck

it's pretty much the same for all htc phones. there's some great guides written up in the touch pro section of this forum.
i haven't seen anyone that has done it on the tp2 yet, but i don't see why it can't be done. unless the houdini software doesn't support it

Ya I was thinking the same thing, I know a bunch of people with TP1's were able to do it and since the software is the same I would imagine you can do it with the TP2 hope this helps a lil......http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...72&postcount=8

great info in that post mike jones. i just checked the Supported Devices List on the Houdini website and the Touch Pro 2 is not on there yet, but might be worth a try to go to a local metro shop and see

Until HardSPL is released I don't think you're going to get this on Metro PCS. Once that's available it's fairly easy to do it.

what do you mean 8? it makes no difference if there's a hard spl or not.

All the phone's I've hacked to work on Verizon, or any flashing for that matter, required the phone to be unlocked via HardSPL first. Once unlocked I could then flash the radio necessary to do the required programming. Just going in to EPST and changing a few thing wasn't enough. Is Metro PCS different?

getting a sprint (or others) htc phone to work on metropcs does not require changing the radio or rom, so unlocking is not required. you just have to reprovision (houdini software) and setup wap (data) and mms

I should have researched MetroPCS and Houdini a little further before I answered this question. I just assumed flashing the TP2 to work on Metro would be the same process as getting a Verizon TP2 to work on Sprint or vice versa. Am I correct that Houdini is also unlocking the SPL to do what it needs to do?
