Can Sprint find out?

i dont know if anyone has asked, but (flashing a third party rom will void the warranty and insurance on the phone) but say htc comes out with a rom update for the diamond

if i flashed the mighty but i want to take it back, i will have to flash the stock rom, can they find out about me flashing the mighty rom?

not if you flash it back to oem, and relock it.

Oh snap. I had the TEP and they replaced my phone but it still had Calc's ROM on it. Woops.

I've swapped my Vogue out online (Sprint Advanced Exchange) about 5 times, all with custom roms, and never got charged a dime. Its the best way to use your TEP. No Sprint Employess get involved!

most in store service techs dont even bother looking to see if the ROM is custom or stock. Especially if they dont know what to look for. I had my Mogul Advanced Exchanged and when i got the replacement, it was already unlocked with Olipro if im not mistaken, just had the stock ROM flashed thats all.

tell me about it, the most hilarious part is since im the service tech,i had no one to yell at except myself!!! But i guess when you look at the grand scheme of things, it saved me a step!!!

What if I were to rename the custom rom to an official name and relock? Is there anything else that might inform them? Just to be on the safe side in case I get a smart one.

there is software that comes in a custom rom that isnt in the shipped rom they caught me

there was a file in the windows folder that wasnt supposed to be there, but if you flash back to stock everything, they will not find out well cant find out
