It's very likely they will overlook that, but it's best that you try to avoid the gamble. Did you read through the entire first post here, Especially the "Preparation before flash". Are you sure you're getting the Invalid Model ID Error?

This doesn't matter. It's suppose to say that.

You're probably trying to flash a rom for the wrong model phone. Which rom are you trying to flash and show me where you are getting it from. Also, put your phone into bootloader mode and tell me what it says on the first 2 lines under "Security Unlocked"

you need to have the 37 unlocker for the sprint touch pro. make sure you have that, then try again. make sure you are using the rom update utility for a touch pro and not the diamond.

I did run the 37 unlocker, the RUU utility said it completed successfully however the bootloader screen still showed 25. I was able to reload the factory rom but still no luck loading either empirom or sense. thanks...
