Considering flashing my phone, im a total noob to flashing. If i unlocked my USCellular Touch Pro... can i load any CDMA rom or does it have to be specific USCC rom? thanks in advance
any cdma rom for touch pro will work, just stay away from gsm roms that will brick your phone

Hey all,
Some of you might know me from the Titan or Wizard forum, but I am joining the Raphael family today (as long as it shipped!) and have a couple of questions regarding this forum.
I should have my Sprint Touch Pro waiting on me when I get home, and will be aching to flash it before the weekend. I think I've literally flashed my Titan several hundred times, so much so that I've become obsessed by it at times.
My question, and the reason for starting this thread, is to ask about compatibility between the GSM versions and the CDMA version(s) of the Raphael.
I would ASSUME that as long as the ROM doesn't include a different radio, that it 'should' be compatible with either version? Is that assumption correct? I don't want to brick my TP right out of the gate. Basically, since the Titan didn't have a CDMA version of the forum since it was all CDMA, I want to ensure I'm understanding my boundaries venturing outside of the CDMA subforum. Thanks in advance to all that reply!
Please understand a few things when responding:
1. I am not a noob
2. I only flash through the SD method (should tell you I'm familiar with the process of flashing, so please no "you have to unlock your phone first" responses)
3. This is a great community and I can't wait to contribute!
Hello mate. As far as I know it is not possible to flash gsm roms to the cdma diamond. That is why there is a cdma version of the forum.
But again am not too sure. I am in UK with the gsm version but I am curious to find out about this too.
Absolutely do NOT flash a GSM rom on your CDMA device, or visa versa. That being said, at least for the GSM roms they are not carrier specific. I've never owned a CDMA device so i couldn't tell you, but there's a specific thread for those devices.
Back in the pre-pudding days, flashing an AT&T radio on an International Atrix was a bad idea. Now that our bootloaders are unlocked, is that still the case? Is the worst that can happen a soft brick, or are there harder bricks waiting to happen?
It's safe to fastboot protocol with RSDlite. I did it the other day tryng a newer radio sbf. Worked fine. The problem from what I've been reading is downgrading to a previous version after updating with OTA.

im using at&t radio cwm flashable on a custom at&t 2.3.4 rom now with ram-fix kernel on my asia retail model (international). works fine so far. or if you don't want at&t radio you can try bell's latest radio as well. both works fine for at&t rom. for me at least.
you can download here att radio or bell radio
Hi Pennzoilgtr
Can you tell us exactly what rom - radio etc you are using and links to them if possible?
I have an international and find that custom roms are hard to find as most are for AT&T.
Thanks

i tried Alien by kp and nCrust both works.. for radio as long as you use AT&T rom, you need to flash att or bell radio in order to work properly.. att radio.
and flash this unified international o/c kernel with ram-fix all CWM friendly. works perfect with my asian atrix.
Thank you pennzoilgtr. will try cherry now...
I have a sprint evo 3d which was flashed to reliance cdma.
I am on hboot 1.50 and rooted with htc unlock method.
Now i want to try different kernels/Roms. But somebody told me that if i flash a new rom it will affect my mms/3g settings. So i want to back up all those settings required for mms and 3g to work on reliance. Is there any way to backup? if yes then how to do and how to restore.Can those mms/3g settings be restored on custom roms?.Will flashing different cdma roms affect my carrier (chances of returning to sprint) ?
Google is your friend.

I cannot find perfect answer
Anyone please help..
Your good my dude you can flash any ROM you want just make sure your mms settings are the same for your carrier...
Hope this helps
sent from my Rooted & Boosted 3VO.
Isnt there anyway to backup those settings?
I am not going to find any rom for my carrier as it was a sprint phone which was flashed to reliance.
Where are the 3g and mms settings located in a rom?
I want those urgently. I cannot wait to flash a new ROM.
Will changing rom affects my carrier? because i have a sprint phone flashed to reliance so will it stop working on reliance after flashing a custom CDMA Rom?
Can i use this method to backup my nvram and mms/3g settings?

If yes can someone in short help me on how to backup on CDMA evo 3d?
Will my prl's for reliance and other programming get backed up too?
Can i restore this after flashing new ROM?

Hey guys I bought this Verizon G3 for a friend he wants to give it to his family in Europe.
I downgraded to 23C so far and want to install TWRP etc. On T-Mobile G3 it's much easier as just rooting and using TWRP manager and flashing whatever I want.
Anyways after I flash TWRP I can use any rom I want ? or the rom has to be specific for bootloader for example? on T-Mobile G3 I could flash pretty much any rom but one stock where I needed to flash modem+bootloader,then it worked fine.
Also if it safe to unlock the LTE bands? since the phone would be used in Europe that would be very nice to have European LTE bands.
Thanks!
