I’m in the middle of my write up of the HTC Touch Pro (Raphael). In the mean time, I thought I’d share the treasures I’ve found during my journey to the underworld of CDMA phone unlocking and custom ROM burning.
For noobs, CDMA carriers in the US are $print and Verizon Wirele$$.
If you are interested in unlocking a CDMA HTC Touch Pro (Raphael), please follow this laser-like link directly to the noob’s HOWTO. Note, in order to download the Hard SPL, you’ll need to register and prove you’re human. (It’s become increasingly difficult lately, hasn’t it?)
IMPORTANT – Obligatory dumbass disclaimer
Don’t use this if your phone is the GSM flavor; running this SPL will brick your handset!
UPDATE:
You can download the SPLs here:
Does this process allow the phone to work in other carriers? I’m looking for unlocking a HTC CDMA phone. Thanks

i followed the process, it worked successfully but how would i get to use it with at&t. Thank you for the post and considering my question.

To the best of my knowledge, AT&T does not operate a CDMA network. Unlocking the phone will enable you to operate the phone on another CDMA network. In the US, the only other CDMA network I know of is Verizon Wireless.

US Cellular is also a CDMA carrier, Sprint is a CDMA carrier. There are a couple regional companies that are smaller that Verizon and those companies use as roaming partners as well. I am actually curious to see if this works with ALL CDMA HTC Touch Pros and not JUST Verizon's (which 99% of these posts are about)…. ????? anyone try a US CELLULAR HTC TOUCH PRO UNLOCK or ROM FLASH yet? Just curious… -Stephen stephenpetsche@hotmail.com
