So go ahead and take in your phone all fancied up with mightROM, and when the sprint reps get a stick up their derrier, you can tell em to shove it further since they have no legal standing against your actions. Enjoy your newly clarified freedoms. Who knows, maybe the reps need a lesson one current politics relating to their jobs.

Yes this made it perfectly illegal to unlock your phone or modify the OS. This new ruling does not affect contracts, user agreements, and warranties. So HTC or any other manufacture can't take legal action against people for hacking their phones, but it is within the manufactures power to deny service for breaking your warranty, or user agreement and so forth.
I would flash it back to stock, i've been denied service by a sprint rep before just because their was some dust inside the battery door of my phone...and this is while paying the 7 bucks a month for their service and insurance.
