Sure thing. Sorry I never replied. I was out with my girlfriend and didn't have time and then just kinda forgot.

This is exactly what I did. (As a disclaimer to others out there, THESE ARE NOT INSTRUCTIONS! DO NOT FOLLOW!)

I used the .40 unlocker to unlock my phone.
I flashed JD's OEM 6.1 Sprint ROM.
Later I used the 2.31 unlocker but looking back, I do not thing it took.
I began to flash to the Alltel ROM but it stopped at about 8% of the first part of the upgrade and it became unresponsive and thanks to you, I learned this was called "Download mode"

End of story. Now I have a brand new one, again, and am hesitating on whether or not I should upgrade as this is now my 3rd phone.

glad to hear you got your phone back...
I flashed to the tutzb radio but didn't like what was happening so I flashed back to the 3.37 radio and get better results and less battery draw. W the titanic radio it stopped connecting to the network and I couldn't turn the radio on or off so that got me uneasy and I put the vogue radio back in. im not sure if its really worth risking it again

Really? I've been hearing nothing but good things about the Titan radio...

I'm so glad i didn't have any of the issues you guys were having or ran into....DH are you thinking of flashing this one?

I think I am still on the 2.31 unlocker. I was never able to downgrade to the 0.40 unlocker for whatever reason (at least that's what the bootloader show 2.31)

I crossed my finger and took the plung and upload the titan radio any everything when fine... So now I am on the 2.31 locker, Titan Radio + AllTel ROM... everything is working

and I think that Rev A also perform better on this radio as well.

I'm working on it as we speak, crossing my fingers the whole time. I know what I need to do and will be reading my own tutorial over again as I do this as well. If all goes well, I will update this post in about an hour or so.

FIRST EDIT:: I successfully flashed the Alltel ROM and with 4 bars out on my deck, mobilespeedtest.com logged 599.20kbps download.

2ND EDIT:: Titan Radio successfully flashed and device booted into Windows. With Alltel ROM still on device and on my deck with 3 bars, mobilespeedtest.com logged 699.10kbps download.

3RD EDIT:: Flashed JD's hybrid Rev A/GPS ROM and have notices somewhat slower internet speeds. GPS took over 10 minutes to acquire a lock from a cold start using google maps. So far it has 4 satellites and location is pretty dead on(inside my apartment)
UPDATE:: It is now bouncing between 6-7 satellites on warm start.

Are you saying that you can't jump from the 0.40 unlocker, to the 2.31 unlocker? I did that as of two days ago, and it worked like a charm... heck, I never knew there was even an intermediate version.

sorry if that's not what you meant.

It may be very possible to flash from the 0.40 SPL to the 2.31 SPL. I personally had a problem doing this so I recommended folks not do it.

Just updated my post above. I don't really like JD's hybrid ROM from what I have seen thus far. Rev A and GPS works but the ROM is way to stripped down and I can't stand not having the home plugin.
