How To unlock and flash with Video Walk Through!

[jsdeguzman1029]

Okay, I'm pretty comfortable with the process of flashing my phone now, I've tried out MightyROM6, SSK 2.6 R2 TP Blue, and JonRom's RAPH800. I know that seems like a lot in two days but I'm a perfectionist and I want to make sure what I flash, I keep for a while, my biggest hang-up though is getting my stock sprint applications back. Is there a way to get these back (sprint nav, sprint tv, software store, etc, etc ) or do I have to hunt for a rom that includes them plus everything else I'm looking for?

yes...everything in this section is cdma. you can get the bell stock rom here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741, so if you ever need to return it, you just flash the bell stock rom and relock it.

they are in random places, but post #5 in the mightyrom thread is one spot.

okay, downloaded the sprint files from the mighty rom post but how do i install them? they're not cab files once i extract them, they're just a bunch of weird numbered files and an xml document?

can someone post a video on how to customize a custom rom? to include how to remove programs from custom rom. thanks.

Never mind, got the files, figured it out.

only issue/question i am getting my phone off of ebay it says 2 months used, but when i activate the phone on my acct does my 1 yr start from there?

and i think i will use juicy8/mightyrom, any preference(batt life etc)?

and also i will play aroudn with the radios and see which ones give me best reception..( if any one you have used that can recommend would be appreciated)


Also i know i can use a java emulator for google .jar file and use that for gmail, but is there a better app for email than you can recommend that is ~$10 or free?

Thanks in advance Razor,
Dee

not sure about that one. i think the warranty starts 1 year from when it is first activated. there's tons of info and threads related to this in the touch pro forum, and else where.

i prefer mightyroms. you'll have to try them out for yourself to see which you like best. it only takes a few minutes to flash a rom, so it's easy to switch around and try different ones out.

again...radios work differently for everyone, so you'll have to try them out to see which one gives you the best results.

what's wrong with using the email program that comes on the phone? i see it mentioned all over the place, that people use it for their gmail.

Hey guys im having some problems... I tried using .37on my uscellular touch pro, and well, even though active sync said they were connected, it still wouldnt work. It said the connection between the pc and my device failed. Any suggestions? i really need some help here.

try this...click start-settings-connections-usb to pc, then uncheck the box under Activesync. then try the unlocking again
