I need help, stuck at unlocker and nothing works - Page 2

Just to piggy-back on what has already been said, one the device is unlocked you do not need to unlock it again. As a matter of fact if you run the unlock utility again I believe that will actually relock the device and that's why you can't flash anything other than an oem rom.

That is not entirely true. The Vogue unlocker is not write protected. I described my reasoning in it's thread. But basically, if you use the customs it doesn't matter. A carrier shipped rom with an SPL will overwrite it however. This can be good in some cases (relocker) and bad in others.

To make the danger more clear read the following (and let me know if it makes sense):

If you're carrier did not ship an update for your device do not run any EXE updates from another carrier. Only use custom roms, or user separated roms (OS, or radio only) As a shipped EXE will relock your device to the other carrier's rom until unlocking again. Another risk here would be if you were unable to boot to windows you wouldn't be able to flash ANY rom even via bootloader.

i tried installing the stock from the ftp and still get stuck going into recovery...now what?

tell us the process you are going thru, because honestly if you are are flashing the stock rom you should be okay without doing anything else.

Spencer, I had this problem too, but I was trying to use Parallels (on my Mac). Once I switched to a different PC (in my case, a REAL PC) the process completed just fine. Try to restart your computer if you haven't already, In my case, it was a USB driver issue (I think)... I always made it to around 10 or 14%, but then it would time out and go into recovery mode. Not sure if that will help, but it's worth a try...
