How to relock Sprint TP

bennysangel · #1 (**permalink**) 05-08-2009, 01:00 PM

My phone is unlocked but it will not allow me to flash. Sprint downloaded their stock ROM back on yesterday but I noticed my phone is still unlocked. What do I do to fix?

What happens if you get an error code?

error when you download the file: re-download again
error when running relocker: soft reset and run it again

Basically It won't let me flash from SD card or Activesync. When it prompts me what ROM im using in bootloader mode that's when the pc connection is lost when scanning my device to flash to different ROM.

LOL I just realized you have already flashed your phone. You only relock your phone if you are planning on bringing it back to Sprint. If that is the case, you would reload a stock sprint ROM then you would lock it back. But to answer the problem don't worry about relocking it.

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.
