Verizon Phone on Tmobile Network?

Hi everyone. A bit new to flashing roms but thanks to the very helpful guides I was able to flash the Energy rom onto my phone. I bought an unlocked Verizon Touch Pro 2 with GSM capabilities and I want to run it on the Tmobile network.
After flashing the Energy rom, do I have to change any settings to get my voicemail and texting to work? Will it automatically detect from the SIM? Or should I flash a Tmobile radio onto the phone?

You'd probably be better off asking your question in the CDMA sub-forum. Because your phone is a CDMA-based one, even though it also has GSM capabilities too. I am pretty sure that flashing a GSM radio would be a very very bad idea

you will have to refer to the cdma forum here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517. as a general reminder, NEVER flash a gsm rom on your verizon even though you are using tmobile. im not sure about your radio issue but if its unlocked, you can detect your sim, and at least make a call, i would suggest you run the connection wizard. this will automatically set up tmobiles internet/mms settings on the vz tp2. also you will have to use the vz keyboard patch so your keyboard will be correctly configured. let me know if you get tmobile to work on vz. i kinda like that version of the tp2 also... but first, read the cdma forum.

[Q] Dual Nam on Sprint HTC Hero

Hi all,
I was very sure that before i upgraded my HTC Hero, i can see the dual nam menu from the "Setting". But after i upgraded to 2.27 firmware, i no longer have that menu. Does anyone know how to get "dual nam" appear again?
Regards,
Aditya

My guess is you need to run a RUU of the older sprint software. Search around all build RUU's are posted.

i searched around the web for how to downgrade to 1.29, but no luck. the closest i can get is downgrading to 1.5. unfortunately, a website that generates the required mtd0.img was down, so i couldn't downgrade to 1.5. any idea?

Wow. I have no idea what that is. Can you inform me of its function?

what i mean by dual nam function is the ability of a cdma phone to store 2 number within a single phone. it can be from the same or other carrier. you can switch your number without having your phone reconfigured by your carrier. you can easily switch your number from your phone menu.
in US, i almost never consider this function, as cdma carrier in US, AFAIK, prohibit this. but since i'm overseas, i can inject another carrier in the same phone without purging my sprint number.

Completely wiped out?

I have a Sprint HTC One.
Sim Unlocked,
Rooted
Bootloader Unlocked and other things, basically free from everything except Sprint.
Is there anyway I can completely remove everything off the phone as if coming out of the factory and turn it into an ATT or Verizon ect phone?
Because even thought I completely have it free from everything possible I still cant use it with any other carrier. I cant use it with Sprint this is why I wanted to use if with other carriers, I don't care who just anyone else except Sprint.
I cant seem to get a straight forward answer.

You could use it on T-Mobile or AT&T if it's sim unlock and you are in an area where it has the proper 3g bands. Another option is to flash to to boost, verizon but that will require a donor phone unless you know someone who will add phone into system

[Q] AT&T-branded M7 can't call on T-Mobile

I've got an AT&T M7 which I'm trying to use on T-Mobile. I've carrier unlocked it through AT&T and, with the T-Mobile SIM in, I am able to get "data". Data is in quotes there because even though I see bars I can't actually get anything. Also calls and MMS don't work. SMS works reliably though.
I've made sure the only APN is one with the settings specified on T-Mobile's website.
I saw someone on the T-Mobile help forums recommending flashing with the T-Mobile flavor RUU offered on HTC's site. I downloaded it, but it doesn't seem to recognize my phone (I assume because it's checking for some sort of T-Mobile signature?)
Anyhow, if anyone has dealt with this before, I'd appreciate any advice.

For reference for anyone dealing with this in the future, it ended up being something on T-Mobile's end. They had me turn the phone off while they reset something in their infrastructure. When the phone came back up, it was able to call.

CDMA Workshop alternatives and can I get data on other carriers?

So, I've recently rooted and unlocked my device and I wanted to know if I can bring it to another carrier and still get data.? I'm using the LS991 Sprint version. I also wanted to know if there are any good CDMA Workshop alternatives; it's really expensive and I'm only gonna be using on a few devices.

So you rooted (doesn't really matter with respect to carrier support) and you unlocked it (that's what matters with respect to carrier support) - so you put in a SIM card for the carrier you want, set the APN data (use Shortcut Master if needed, there's a version specifically modded for the LS991 directly available in my post HERE - might be a good idea to read that post as well since that's what I did myself.
Worse comes to worse if you have no luck because you unlocked your LS991, consider installing the global LS991 ROM (whether it's Lollipop ZV6 or Marshmallow ZV9 or ZVA - if you install ZVB you can never go back to anything prior so be aware of that) which will work much better for other carriers than using the unlock mod so many of us have done in the past.
Hindsight being what it is, if I knew about the global ROM when I got this G4 recently I wouldn't have mucked around with all the unlocking crap and the carrier partition at all for any reason because just installing the global ROM (or modifying build.prop to allow for global unlocked operation) is way more useful and less damaging to the phone. Modifying the build.prop isn't necessarily a cakewalk but, since someone else has already done it for others and posted the global ROM(s) for Lollipop and Marshmallow (as .img files you flash using the Send_Command.exe/dd method) it's really not a big thing anymore.
If you muck up flashing an .img file you can typically just use LGUP and a TOT file to get things working again so it's relatively safe overall, but if you muck up the unlock and trash the carrier partition content the phone will end up being pretty much useless unless you have that information safely backed up someplace (I'd say multiple backups in multiple locations, to be honest).
Anyway, if you truly want the phone to be capable of working on other carriers, my suggestion is go for the global ROM but that's just my own personal opinion on the matter. I'm using tabp0le's MellowMallow ZVB global ROM on my LS991 and T-Mobile LTE works just fine for me, for the record. It did take a little work - I wrote about how I got the full phone/data working in that post with Shortcut Master - but it does work.

Thanks for the help!
One last question, how did you get other carriers to let you activate the phone? Everytime I try they ask me imei then tell me my phone won't work on their network.

Well I've had service with T-Mobile in the past (not currently but will again soon), I have a bunch of T-Mobile microSIM cards because whenever they put the SIM card activation kits on sale for $.99 or sometimes even free (rare but it happens) I usually grab 3 at a time so I have 'em around for testing purposes. T-Mobile doesn't require me to provide any info to them, and even if I go to their website right now and input my IMEI number it'll say it's not recognized, etc but it's not relevant: it works, and that's what matters.
Most carriers don't actually require you to provide the IMEI for any reason as long as you can get one of their microSIM cards (or nanoSIM with adapter) and then get service without having to contact them. T-Mobile is somewhat unique in that process I suppose. With this SIM card I have (it's never been activated) I can go to their website and sign up for service right now and it'll be active in 10 minutes or less, sometimes when I've activated service (it's prepaid so I don't necessarily keep it month to month, sometimes I choose some other service for testing) it's done before I even sign out of their website, like 30 seconds or less and wham, the phone beeps telling me service is working.
So, the advice is: get a SIM card for the phone from the carrier you're interested in and go from there, not sure what else to suggest honestly.

You good sir are a god among men, phone and data are working like a charm. Now I can tell sprint to go **** themselves!

glad it worked for you. MY experiences with ls991, i am using it nvmode. zv6 rooted works for me with cdma data. but data doesnt work with zv9 or zva. global rom doesnt work unless, I edit build.prop target carrier to SPR . it is open to use it as global mode. I am using it in cdma nv mode.. not with any sim..

Ruim is basically used when it comes to cdma sim card.
"Removable User Identity Module (R-UIM) is a card developed for cdmaOne/CDMA2000 ("CDMA") handsets that extends the GSM SIM card to CDMA phones and networks. To work in CDMA networks, the R-UIM contains an early version of the CSIM application."
Your is at&t 4g gsm card. [emoji4]
Check your build.prop and search for
ro.build.target_operator: OPEN
Most probably for global mode open works
For making it work on cdma nv, i have set it to SPR
You can tweak with it by changing to options, it will also change signal bar and 4g symbol like at&t
These will show a Standered international 4G data icon for 3G/HSPA+ and LTE for LTE.
ro.build.target_county: CA
ro.build.target_operator: TLS
These will show a standered international 3G data Icon for 3G/HSPA+ and 4G for LTE (Messes up settings menu pretty bad)
ro.build.target_county: SK
ro.build.target_operator: SKT
If you want the AT&T 4G and 4G LTE Icons.
ro.build.target_county: US
ro.build.target_operator: ATT

My fav cdma tools are qpst, cdma workshop, dfs, revskill and bit advance is qxdm All are freely available. I cant say which one is best hahah. Trust me for me, all of them worked at some instance when i was stuck. Revskill is great with htc finding spc. Though i used dfs mostly.
