Question: Unlocked phone, stock rom flash from .exe? Safe?
Yes, i've done a search before asking a question. I found a few threads but... none of them were clear enough for me to risk bricking my phone if i'm wrong about this.
I'm running a HTC TP CDMA(verizon specifically) with NFSFAN 1.05 rom and i have a weird bug pop up. I want to flash back to the stock verizon rom as supplied by cokeman(thanks) in this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741 Obviously, my phone is unlocked to install a custom rom. I've never flashed an unlock phone with an .exe do i need to relock before doing this? I reverted back to a stock rom on my old mogul and relocked to deal with verizon customer service. i understand why relocking is necessary there but i'm not certain it is needed in this case. Long question short. Can i use that stock rom cokeman supplied with out relocking first? Safely. |

No relocking needed just flash away.

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. |
