2) If I mess anything up I can relock it with: Raphael_CDMA_Relocker.zip and then reinstall the stock ROM Sprint: OS for returning to stock: ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Raphael/Users/ImC...RUU_dumped.rar)
3) After its unlocked, I must then install the RUU.zip file, again can be done from the PC once synced.
4) Then I can add a custom ROM that I find some place else.
Do I have it? I’m sure I’ve missed something. |
Close, just a few minor details to iron out...
1. correct !!! first things first, i recommend unlocking ASAP
once you've unlocked you can install custom ROMs and/or upgrade the radio
2. DO NOT RELOCK!!! NEVER RELOCK !!! unless your returning your device, there's no need to relock
3. RUU stands for ROM Upgrade Utility. Its merely a folder on your computer, which usually contains an NBH file.
That NBH file
is the ROM
4. Yup. although I recommend flashing via SD Card personally...
