Do I need to unloack before flash

I have sprint touch pro from last 6 months but I have not tweak anything on phone, but after visiting the site, I am preparing myself to flash first time. I am trying to gather all information before flash it but I am confuse about unlocking phone. Do I have to unlock my phone before flashing any ROM?

And I see lots of ROM for my phone, is there any place where I can find any comparison between ROMs? Being first timer, what do you suggest about ROM, which ROM I should use? I know there is tons of information but difficult to find one.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Yes you do.. If you do not, your phone may become bricked (basically a paperweight)..

Re: Do I need to unloack before flash

Thanks for all of you for helpful information. Can anyone suggest any particular rom? Or any comparison between ROMs? Any advantage/disadvantage using one ROM over any other ROM?

I understand that, but now question is which rom has advantage/disadvantage over others. As a beginner which ROM I should try first?

Thanks.

There are many threads on this already.

I would read through some of the ROMS is the upgrade section and see which one appeals to you.

there are many easy roms out, many clean or [light] ROMS.

many are in Favor or Silence, mightyrom, or silence mighty.

we all would suggest going through them and getting a feel for it.

believe me once you flash you'll be addicted!
