TEP and Custom Roms?

So my Diamond stopped charging or accepting any USB connections at all last night. I'm wondering if it matters that I have a custom ROM for a TEP replacement? Anyone know?

Also, anyone know what they replace diamonds with these days? Sprint rep seems to think its either a TP2 or a Hero.

I wish it was either, they're gonna give you a diamond.

yep they still have diamonds. if it was ur 3rd swap u could request a different phone. and i believe they wont swap it without it having stock rom.

Well I can probably do a hard reset, but I won't be able to relock considering I cannot use the mini usb port.

Don't worry about relocking ... but you should use blue tooth to get the stock rom back on your phone.

Hard reset is just going to re-load your custom rom. Your much better off trying to download the stock .nbh, re-naming it to whatever (read thread on how to flash from internal storage), and flashing from internal storage. You could also use bluetooth to transfer if you have a capable PC.

Problem is that I have a dead battery and no way to charge it, so I really can't get that file onto the device. Guess I need to find a new battery for the thing.

actually, they send the replacement first, correct?

Yeah they will send the replacement first with a box to return the old phone. So you can use the battery from the new to flash back to shipped
