3. I then ran ImCokeMan's .40 Vogue Unlocker again since the official Sprint ROM had locked it back up.

4. I then upgraded using the VZW dumped ROM.

5. Dial *228 and press 1 to program the phone.

THIS BRINGS YOU BACK TO SQUARE 1 .... and on VERIZONS NETWORK !!!

After that then:

6.Then you need to unlock you’re your phone with

7.FLASH http://216.139.227.226/alltel/RUU_Vogue_4350_ALLTEL_WWE_3.04.671.2_Radio_4350H_3 .37.10_Alltel_NV2.00_PRL30008_0331_Ship_withSpecia lNBH.exe
DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATION RUN !!! To update RADIO

8. USE Favorite CUSTOM ROM of your choice (follow rules for that rom whether to let run or not costomization) or STOCK ROM ...( if verizon 6.1 DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RU N!! or any other STOCK ROM)

Won't flashing the phone back to a non-GPS radio cause issues?
This post specifically says not to do it http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26082 .

Is there a safer way to unlock COM port GPS after the customizations have locked it?
How are the customizations able to mess with the radio to the point that a reflash does not reset it?
Why can't I just flash to a custom rom and do the QPST GPS fix?

Has anyone tried reflashing with a GPS radio instead of a non-GPS radio as suggested above?
