So I was able to return my phone to sprint using the updated shipped rom (link to the rom in first post)

In fact I forgot to re lock the rom before handing it to sprint(whoops)

I was sweating bullets until I returned to the sprint store and they said they will give me another! Actual words used "Some people mess these phones up by by using software they dont understand, then return it to us with multiple operating systems loaded. If thats the case we cant accept it but if the person at least reloads the original rom, we will fix or replace"

True story:
I asked if I could have the battery from my original and the stylist and boo ya, I got an extra battery and stylist pro bono.
I guess the extra $5 a month is worth it for insurance
