Are you telling me that installing a rom that is not intended to your phone can break it? Will a hard reset fix the problem? Just curious because I want to know how cautious I have to be with modifiying my phone.

- Why does sprint offer Windows mobile Shell 3 for the touch pro 2 without giving you this unlocker? Is there a difference between there custom roms vs the people here?

- You said you only have to unlock your phone once... Do you have to unlock it every time you do a hard reset?

I have taken a look into the CDMA roms here but some of them mention windows mobile 6.5. I have 6.1 and I've searched this forum and google and it mentions that Sprint doesn't offer the 6.5 yet. So does that mean the roms that require a 6.5 wont work with my 6.1?


it's really easy, just follow the instructions to unlock. you only need to do it once. then you can easily flash any CDMA ROM at any time

I guess this goes with my earlier question. Flashing a custom rom will stay even after a hard reset (restore to factory settings) is done?

Finially,

Ive been reading and Windows Mobile Shell 3 is really captured my attention however its expensive and Im a broke college kid.

Is there any rom similar to Mobile shell without causing me to go hungry for a week? haha

Once again thanks for all the advice and warm welcome! I think there should be a thread dedicated to the lingo so someone could become familiar without all the headaches.
