unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!

[cornelious2]

that would be the first post lol.

step 1 flash the stock shipped(not dumped) rom onto your phone
step 2 download the sspl-manual.exe file linked here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment...1&d=1225521707

step 3 download the sprint relocker from the first post.
step 4 unzip sprintrelocker.zip and place the RAPHIMG.nbh file onto your sd card (on the root aka not in any folders)
step 5 place sspl-manual.exe onto your phones memort (not on the sd card)
step 6 click sspl-manual.exe to bring you into the bootloader (do not use vol down + power in this case)
step 7 press power to flash when prompted
At this point if you get a rom boot code error when trying to start your phone just flash the stock rom one more time.

Ahhhhhh! I formatted it to just plain-old FAT instead of FAT32. I never would've thought that was the problem. Thanks a bunch, everything works now!

NOTE: some users have reported getting stuck in an unbootable loop(noting error messages about the flash "upgrade rom code error") after this step. simply flash any rom and you should get out of this cycle. below are linkes to the dumped stock roms, I grabbed the links straight out of imcokeman's thread so make sure you give him thanks if you use them.

if this note helps you please sent hotspace some thanks for figuring this out


I dont know if this has happened to anyone but it happened to me and I couldnt load a new ROM becauce activesync would not connect to my phone.
HOW TO FIX
1. Take out memory card
2. Press the d-pad to get back to the tri color screen
3. unplug the USB,wait 5 secs and plug back in.
4. As soon as the Activesync arrows start spinning go aheah and start the flash. (You have to flash from the computer, get a ROM and load it up and Start flashing. It will recognize your phone)

I dont know how many people this happend to but it happened to me but now my phone is fine.!!!!

[cornelious2]

you can just put a new rom on the sd card using a card reader and flash by pulling the battery on the phone. most people that use this method cant ever get the flash to work on the computer.

how will I know if the phone is relocked?

[cornelious2]

remove/rename the nbh from the sd card then enter bootloader if you see the word cmonex your still unlocked if you just see 0000 were cmonex used to be your good.
