Easy Fix For VZW After Accidentally Letting Sprint Customization Run

[buddhatikkigod]

Yes well it seems im having similar problems. I did the steps and it erased some of my settings including somehow rewriting my ESN back to what it was originally! I dont know how thats even possible, where was it stored on my PPC after i erased it?

Well if after i get everything working i no longer roam and/or get internet it will be worth it.


I have a few questions about the steps: one... is it ok to use .41 unlocker or should we use the .40 unlocker? Another, after we install the roms should we let them boot up or should we immediatly go into the dm/serial mode (power + camera button then hit reset) to immediatly install the next rom or let the rom boot and skip the customize on the Sprint?

I used .40 but I don't see why .41 wouldn't work. You don't need to let the OEM Sprint ROM boot at all. You can immediately go into the bootloader mode. If you do let it boot, don't "touch the screen to begin". But you do need to let the VZW Dumped ROM boot so that you can let the customizations run.

I would just use the .40 - I was nervous too, but imcokeman mentions something about the differences in that thread about the keeping the .40 specifically for relocking. it wasnt that bad at all, just follow the instructions and youll be fine. also, your ESN should be the one on your phone if you are relocking it, shouldnt it? also make sure you check your msid and min settings when you are done mine were all f'd. so far its working tho! just waiting for DMU reset to get internet bazck up and running. gluck!
