well i checked out that sprint rom update utility from the sprint site and that pretty much directs you to the htc website to download the latest rom update.. well the badnews is yeah tried that one.. ive tried different roms ranging from stock, shipped, and whatever else is out there.. i guess i have one question though.. is it safe to load a shipped rom from other carriers or do i need to stick with sprint downloads? ohh and that badnews i talked about, its just badnews to me cause my phones the one thats jacked up, im sure its just news to whoever else is reading this.. but it does make me sad
