That doesn't mean your unlocked, it will always say "Security Unlocked" - do you see cmonex?

Hahah, even locked phones say that. The top bar of the bootloader says security unlocked for both locked and unlocked phones (I know, confusing). But if your bootloader really is unlocked it'll say the following under it.

RAPH800
SPL-0.37.CMONEX

If there is no CMONEX, it's not unlocked.

Try reunlocking it, and you should be able to be flash-happy again.

relocker is only if you bring your phone to sprint for warranty repair/exchange. Even then I hear a lot of techs don't care/don't know about the difference in the bootloader version. Many people have gotten away with having unlocked phones fixed or exchanged. Some people just like to be safe though. I always relock and flash stock ROM if I have a significant problem with my phones.

I'd recommend a hard reset and then sync..I bet that'll fix it. I had the exact same issue on my 6800 back in the day.

Good point.

I don't know why unlocking is so difficult for some people. Its weird. I ran the exe and then was done, I couldn't believe how quick it was.

Just in case he isn't establishing an activesync connection though the hard reset may be a good idea.
