Question: Unlocked phone, stock rom flash from .exe? Safe?

reply thanked.

I figured locking was simply a matter of having the phone match what verizon or what ever carrier expected it to. I just don't know enough about it to know if it is only write protection or if it effects the file systems rom's depend on or what.

Wish there was a really good tutorial detailing the "structure" of a WM phone's file systems and how it interacts with the hardware.

Figure trying to flash a rom that would require a locked phone might be a good way to end up with a paper weight.
