In order to properly rule out extenuating issues and confounds, it is absolutely necessary that we are all on the same page i.e. we all have the latest HardSPL.

Once we know people are on that AND if they are still having problems, then we can move to the next level of diagnosis i.e. the ROM. This is just how science works. Otherwise I may be chasing ghosts.

To reflash with HardSPL costs nothing and does not wipe out the data meaning your current ROM is preserved. So there is ZERO downside from doing it as it only take about 10 seconds to flash. (Though one could argue that re-flashing the ROM after the new HardSPL would be even more preferable, since the HardSPL directly influences how the ROM is flashed in the first place).

Not having this issue on other ROMs actually means nothing since there is no way I can know all the dependent/independent variables (HardSPL, ROM, Settings, installed software, usage, etc.)

For all I know, you have corrupted data from the flash, which is why it is recommended to hard-reset after you flash a new ROM. Just saying, there's a lot variables here, I'm just trying to control what I can.

So your saying I should just download the latest release from the website and act as if I was unlocking my phone again even though its already unlocked right? No need to relock it and then use the latest HSPL to unlock it again? jus flash as if it was a ROM following the HSPL directions? Ill try and then flash back to this ROM and see what happens. thanks for the clarification.
