have to bring in my sprint touch pro2 for repair - im flashing the stock rom to it, but do i need to do some re-lock type thing also?

I would definitely advise you to relock it before taking it to repair. If they are savy and see that it's unlocked they may claim that you voided your warranty and refuse to service it.

totally agree with Wolf.

If you relock it and take it in, and they return the same phone to you, will the unlocker let you unlock it again? I know you're only allowed one unlock without needing to contact them for an additional authorization (or pay up), but I'm not clear on what that's tied to. Can you unlock the same phone multiple times?

Though I think a lot of techs wouldn't care, it only takes one who does to decide to be a d*** and notate your account. Though I haven't had to take it in since I started flashing, if/when I do, I'm not that much of a gambler. I'd rather not give them any excuses to deny coverage if I can help it!

Directions are in the second post of the unlocking threa

how to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL: - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

0. please make sure you already flashed stock ROM and radio, because stock SPL flash is *always* the last step before sending the device in.
1. download the Relocker by clicking here, extract the zip and run the EXE on your PC
2. if you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary (this Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL made by us). the included one is the 0.63.0000 stock SPL. 3. flash
4. verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 0.63.0000, not 1.00.OliNex.

And yes, I was able to re-unlock mine after restoring it for repair work.
