So to everyone with a stock Sprint ROM: DO NOT REPLACE GWES.EXE BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE YOUR PHONE NOT BOOT UP.

It's been done by many people with stock roms (once even by me) and the result has all been the same: The phone locks up at the boot screen after the first restart when replacing the gwes.exe file.

I hope I save at least one person from a hard reset with this post.
This is correct, but to fix the problem, one of our very own has created a custom stock rom with a build 21xxx and has net 3.5 already installed. So this is great for people like me who like the stock rom but need a build of 21xxx or higher. Thanks once again to the mighty fayfay. check out post #8
