I'm mobile right now, so kinda limited on my resourcs, but i'm pretty sure you can. Cornelious, you got any info on this?

[cornelious2]

yea he pmed me and i told him how to go about doing it. basically you just need to get the nbh outta the shipped rom and the relocker, then flash the shipped rom and then flash the relocker.

I am an absolute noob with this stuff, so dont beat me up for asking this question....

is this thread referring to unlocking for use on another network? Because I have been trying to find info on unlocking my TP for use on the Cricket network. Is this the step I need to perform to unlock for cricket..

You don't have to unlock your touch pro to use on another network. You have to reprogram it. Unlocking it will allow to to flash custom roms and radios. There is a custom cricket rom that will make the process a little easier for you, so you might as well go ahead and unlock your phone. This thread describes how to unlock your phone via the microSD card, without the use of a computer. The main unlocking/relocking thread is here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503

Thanks a million. I finally got the courage to try flashing my ROM (Touch Pro) from the card. Worked like a charm! Installed the Mighty Rom and it is awesome.... so much faster and no bloatware! Time to start cooking I guess.

AHH SWEET!! I could never Flash or unlock from my SD card. Never had a problem with Vista and Syncing. But I thought doing it from the card might be safer. What happens if you lose your sync while in the middle of Flashing?? Is your phone a brick?

Everyone else seems to be able to do it so i couldnt figure out what was wrong. Finally i saw the SD was in FAT, not FAT32. Now flashing finally works from my SDcard. Im assuming Unlocking would too. All thanks to this Thread.

Besides the question about what would happen if you lost your sync during a flash.
Can you lock your phone with a custom ROM installed? I assume you could but not sure.

I'll take a stab at your questions.
I'm not sure what would happen if you lost sync during a rom flash, but i'm pretty sure you'd still be able to recover just by putting it into bootloader mode and flashing again. If you were flashing the locker/relocker and lost sync, then that might end up in a brick.

I don't see why you'd want or need to lock with a custom rom, but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.

Sorry...that's the best i could do.
