thanks for the responses guys. i havent tried to flash the 6.1 rom as ive saw others with similar issues say that didnt help, but ill still give it a shot. i have antivirus and firewall disabled
also, can someone point me to the stock sprint 6.1 rom, possibly a nbh? i looked for it earlier but couldnt find it. even the link to the stock roms in the upgrade section is down. hopefully this works, id hate to flash 6.1 and still not be able to unlock. that does seem like a good idea, but it is also the last thing i wanted to try, and right now i feel ive tried everything else so 6.1 here i come. hopefully the issue is the hspl doesnt like the spl in 6.5 and will work with 6.1. wish me luck guys, im off to search for 6.1 some more
EDIT: i found the stock roms here
Stock CDMA Touch Pro 2 ROMs
