i have the same issue. if i just reflash the stock rom will i be able to take it to the store? i want to take it to the sprint store but i dont want to get screwed. thanks in advance!!!

while you would PROBABLY be fine, if you send it in unlocked you do so at your own risk... really depends on how thorough and how much of a pain the tech is that looks at it.

What can sprint do to you at that point if they do find out that your device is unlocked?

deny all warranty claims. but I am told that people have had success re-locking using the nbh out of the re-locker. when I talked to cmonex at the time of creation of the HSPL she mentioned that her overwrite protection would stop this but apparently it doesnt and the phone can be relocked. people are reporting getting stuck in bootloader. but a flash to stock after relocking seems to fix it (would need two sd cards with the stock rom on one and the relocker on the other or an sd card reader to transfer files) I will post a complete step by step in the next few days when I have had proper time to test this out.

but wouldn't this mean that they have extracted the nbh out of the re-locker...right?

if that's the case i have to attempted to extract what is in the exe file of the re-locker and no where did i find an nbh file within that exe file. So I am hoping it is true.

You had to be a little more tricky than just extracting so I attached the file in post 3 with brief instructions

Okay what if you download a rom but its an .exe? ...there is no ru_signed

for example, Formulas spb mobile sense is an exe.

thanks in advanced

just use winrar or a similar archive program to extract the exe. then you'll see the nbh file that you need.
