New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?

i flashed sprint rom2.00.651.7 got link right from sprints site to htc. Thought this was the latest official sprint rom. But it did not lock me out from reflashing another rom after. I hope its not a new form of protection they are using. I know i would never get this phone if it was still stock. Everytime i try to use it with stock reminds me how close i was to returning it. Even with new rom picture mail wont work text are sent slow with the annoying message sent alert, and battery seems to drain so much faster only got about 4 hrs with the same use i get 8 hrs from on other roms.

So, does this mean that if we are already unlocked before upgrading to the new Sprint Stock Maintenance release that we will probably be okay and be able to stay unlocked?

not sure but thats what happened with me. I remember when i had first tried flashing the leaked test rom it automatically locked the phone. But just ran the unlocking process and it worked fine after.

I did not have to unlock my phone. I accidently flashed a GSM rom to my phone (XDA + my lack of attention to detail = boot loop), so I had to revert to stock. It didn't relock my phone.

I'm not sure if anyone has had an experience with the SS Maintc release locking their phone. Apparently, we 2 have not had a bad experience.

Just a heads up, most of the stuff at XDA is GSM unless otherwise stated.

Thats odd. i run the new sprint maintenance release before i flash new roms daily and never had a problem. i did get my phone replaced about 3 months ago so i might not have the latest protected unit. does anyone else have a brand new diamond that is running into this!?>!?
