well after flashing to 2.31, and then flashing the stock. the phone freezes at bootsplash, so cant get to activesync to flash .40 (if i am correct you need to be in activesync to use unlocker versus you just need rainbow screen to flash just a rom)

and the steps you outlined, dont mention downgrading the radio too?

this is a verizon phone btw so no official rom with radio.

While its NOT RECOMMENDED to downgrade from GPS Radio to Non-GPS Radio unless for Warranty/Return...

I performed this on my Alltel Touch and was able to get it replaced with no problems.

DOWNGRADING AND REVERTING BACK TO ORIGINAL SPL
This has been proven to work for Sprint(not sure about others). This will NOT completely remove the 3.xx radio from your device. It has been said that the 3.xx radio will remain on your device in a dormant, non-usable state at a much lower level on the device and can potentially cause problems later on. DOWNGRADE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

1. Download ImCoKeMaN's original unlocker here: ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/dharv...e_unlocker.exe

2. Run Vogue_unlocker.exe and follow the on screen instructions to a T as it is very easy to mess up. This will overwrite the 2.31.coke SPL. During the unlocking process your device will display 0.36.coke SPL. This will change once update is complete.

3. Once you finished with the unlocker, your SPL should no longer display 2.31.coke but should now display 0.40.coke.

4. Your device will automatically soft-reset after the update is complete. Do not allow to boot back up into OS. Instead, hold down the camera and power buttons and insert the stylus into the soft-reset hole again putting you in bootloader mode.

IF YOUR DEVICE DISPLAYS AN SPL OF 0.40.coke THEN CONTINUE TO STEP 5. IF NOT THEN RE-RUN STEPS 2&3 UNTIL IT DOES.

5. Since it is recommended that you flash back to the OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM at this time, that is the link that I am providing here. Download and flash the OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM. This will overwrite the custom SPL written by ImCoKeMaN's unlocker.

6. You're now done. Your phone has now been reverted back to it's original shipped state.

PLEASE NOTE: It has been said that GPS radios and Non-GPS radios are very different. Flashing from the original 1.13 Radio to a 3xx Radio will write a TOTALLY new Radio to your device and reverting back to the OEM 1.12 Radio will not completely remove the new 3xx radio.

i dont think itll work for a verizon. the stock wont relock it i think.
once you flash the verizon 'dumped' rom (not official rom) with coke 2.31, it will freeze at bootsplash still. so cant get into activesync to put on coke .40.
only way can get .40 is to flash another custom rom, and then once rom bootsup, put on .4, then try to put on verizon dumped rom, but get to the same point that it freezes.

seems silly verizon doesnt have a official rom, what if customer put on something simple like a prog that messes up the phone that cant uninstall... what would they do, give them a new entire phone lol?
