you guys think i could pull this off? or just leave it alone?

Do it, or at least try. I put in my order for the TP2 yesterday, $0 out-of-pocket, and with no contract changes whatsoever. If it all works like it ought to, you can still bail and have a mint phone you can sell for maybe 4 bills.

Hey all! I was wondering what your opinions are on my situation. So my Tp has just started acting up. I've had it less than a year (got it on 1/27/09) and The screen periodically shuts off on it's own during texting and while getting texts. You can barely see the screen when it "shuts off" and when you hit the power button to turn on/off again it won't do anything. This last in and out for about a good 3-5 minutes. I can soft reset the phone and it will go away for a good part of the day but it seems to be happening on a consistent basis. I tried a hard reset and no luck. I have flashed back to the stock rom from a custom and it is still doing it. If not more often now. I was thinking about taking it in to the Sprint store to have them diagnose and possibly fix it or should I just do an insurance claim on it through asurion?? I am on the TEP insurance plan. Thanks in advance for the input!

take it to sprint and save a $100 that you would pay asurion

Awesome man! Thanks I appreciate it!

So I just wanna double check. I flashed back to the stock rom from the htc support page and verified that it all matches up including the radio. Now I used the Raphael_CDMA_Relocker and when I got into the boot screen it has:

Security Unlocked (at the top)

RAPH800
SPL-0.37.000
MicroP-Hermann (LED) v0C85
MircoP-Hermann (KEY) v0685
PSOC-Raph STAGE_EVT v20

So am I good to go into the sprint store?

I would imagine so. Our Sprint store is extremely cool and they guy I usually deal with is simply awesome. I only put the stock ROM in, but he would care less. He tried out my keys, and said "yep" then listed the phones I could have as a replacement.

Thanks man! I appreciate it!

Well... I'm gonna found out tomorrow how cool the tech at the sprint store is.... wish me luck! lol

i did the same thing and mine says unlocked even though i used the locker and sprint said nothing to me other than my replacement will be there in a few days.

Mine also has a chip missing above the volume rocker, which he saw as only more reason to send it back. I'd say go to a store and deal with a person (as politely as possible) instead of calling up some bean counter in a cubicle.
