How To's: Unlocking, Relocking, Flashing, Dumping and Troubleshooting

[SmknJoe]

I'm having an issue relocking - can someone help me out?

I've flashed back to the SHIPPED telus rom - ran the RELOCKER, and it errored out. I successfully went through the recovery steps, but now... I can't even flash to a custom ROM, even though my phone still says "SECURITY UNLOCKED".....

I'm trying to relock my phone and get it back to stock to return it to the store..... My vibrate function no longer works...


any help woudl be greatly appreciated.

hey,

I got to be honest, I had the exact same thing happen before. Lost vibration, so I flashed back to the shipped rom. tried to relock the phone, and it would not let me do it. No matter what I did, it would error out. So I ended up flashing the shipped rom and sending it back and they didn't say anything at all. I know this probably doesn't help much but I wanted you to know they probably wont even notice.

well that really sucks..

I followed the steps for relocking to a T.... Maybe I shouldnt have flashed a STOCK rom before relocking!?

If anyone can help me get my phone back to the way it was (i dont even care about the damn vibrate) I'd be in your debt!

Look at the first page and click on the links of what an unlock and locked phone's SPL look like. Then look at yours, and tell us which one it is.

Both Unlocked and Locked phones will say 'Security Unlocked' at the top.

The difference is if your SPL says 0.57.CMONEX or not.

The first step is actually figure out if you're still unlocked

My SPL says:

DIAM500
SPL-0.62.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) vB
PSOC Diam STAGE_EVT v20

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here and say it's NOT unlocked anymore.

So, I took a shot and ran the unlocker, and I get a com error. The Update utility puts the phone into bootloader, but wont go p***** 0%. It keeps timing out and going through the recovery steps....

any suggestions thus far?

Yes, I do have .net framework installed too...

I'm sending my diamond in for repairs tomorrow.........1 month without it. Hopefully there's killer development in 6.5 while she's away!

This happened to me after I flashed newest Sprint Rom. Run CMonex's relocker from RUU while phone is on (not bootloader mode). It will run its own SSPL and relock the phone.

If you check the bootloader screen it should said SPL 0.57 without the Cmonex label after it. You are now locked.

SmknJoe your device is (re)locked, like bparvin said, no cmonex = locked
and like tobey said 'security unlocked' means nothing

I upgraded to the sprint maintenance Rom, my spl says its .64 should I try and run the relocker to get the spl to say .57 before i try to unlock it? I just want to be sure I'm not going to brick my phone before i try anything.
