Do I need to flash to stock and re-lock?
 

I am mailing my old phone back to Sprint tomorrow since I got my replacement yesterday due to the cracked chrome...should I re-lock and flash a shipped ROM back on it?

Yeah you'll definitely want to do that before you send it back in.

it would be a good idea to do so, return it the way you got it, just to be on the safe side...cause knowing sprint..you dont want to give them any reason for canceling your TEP for altering the phone, if you know what I mean.. 8)

it's not a TEP return...it is the recall or wahtever they are doing by replacing phones with cracked chrome...

I would still return the phone just the same way you got it...reflash back to OEM sprint rom and "Relock"..dont give them or find any reason to get one up on you even if it is a recall.
