Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

Ok, I've tried to read everything, and wanted to make sure I get this right.

I have the 2.31 SPL loaded on my phone, if I want to put it back to normal I need to:

1. Install the 0.40 SPL unlocker.
2. Flash the 3.03.651.4 Signed ROM.

Correct?

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

No...
That wont work
Ok heres why... The 2.31 SPL is NOT overwritable so that means when you flash a ROM it wont over write the SPL so you dont have to keep unlocking every time you want to flash a custom ROM(kind of nice) ok the bad part.. That means it cant be unlocked... Soo... the only way to unlock is to downgrade the SPL to 0.40 which IS overwritable and then flash a NON gps ROM... Which will overwrite the SPL but there are dangers in doing this.. Then you just flash back to the 3.03 ROM from Sprint..

Here this thread might help

PLEASE do not go off what im saying read up first.. I might be incorrect and I dont want you to brick your phone if I am

Lets see what other people have to say also...

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

I believe you are correct in what you said. 2.31 is for 3.xx roms, and 0.40
is for 1.xx roms. If it says 2.31 coke then you can flash the 3.03 rom., and enjoy REV-A and GPS.

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

Ok I have posted this numerous times.....and I'll make it very very easy

1. Flash Stock ROM no matter what the SPL
2. Flash CoKe 0.40
3. Re-Flash the Stock (This locks it)
4. Flash the Official ROM

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

Thats what i said except i didnt say to flash the stock first... or i mean the official .. you cant flash the official over the 2.31 so it would be the official

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

Yes that would work. Any exe rom with an SPL will overwrite the 0.40 and you can load that unlocker from any WM rom with activesync

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

I tried steps similar to that at first, but when I flashed the stock ROM over coke 2.31, it would crap out.

Anyways, I got it fixed. Basically did what I said above.

I had Dharvey's Vista ROM on there, and it was giving me issues, so I installed OMJ's minimalist rom, then flashed coke 0.40, then the stock ROM.

Oddly, at about 29% thru the first time of flashing the stock ROM, it crapped out and gave an error 264. I rebooted and then it flashed like a champ.

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

The stock ROM or the official ROM? which one did you use?

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

That's exactly correct. That's what I did and it worked like a charm. Don't believe all the misinformation that people are giving!

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

What is the difference between stock rom and official rom?

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

The true stock ROM is Windows Mobile 6.0 . That's what originally came on the device when it was FIRST released. The "official" ROM everyone refers to is the Sprint Official WM 6.1

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

correct

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

Yes, and the procedure I noted in my last post was used to flash the Signed Official Sprint ROM.

Note that flashing the older Stock ROM can apparently cause issues.

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

Again correct.. If you flash the Stock ROM from a custom ROM which requires a 3.35+ GPS Enabled radio the old Stock ROM cannot use that radio so it tries to overwrite it but since its not meant to overwrite GPS Radio's.. The GPS radio is still on the phone in a dormant state and therefor can sometimes cause a brick or issues later on.. Some people have done it and reported to not having any problems.. Other have had problems.. More then likely you will not.. But thats the facts as ImCokeMan posted them :)... Just a little info

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

I am exchanging my current vogue for a touch pro from Sprint and I have a few questions. 1. Do I need to re-lock the SPL?2. If I do, I have to Flash stock, flash coke.40, re-flash stock, and then flash official? 3. Where can I find the stock and official roms?

Thanks for your help guys

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

You can just flash official .. Thats fine. .But it is better you re lock.. To relock flash 0.40.coke and then flash the official.. That simple

BTW.. How did you get them to switch you to a Touch Pro????? Let me know I am looking for one.. I miss a keyboard :) (Might just get a Mogul off ebay for cheap though).. Would like a Touch Pro

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

Thanks for your help

I just complained about my battery life was horrible, and they offered to get me a new battery and I said" i had already done that" and if there was any way I can exchange my phone for another, so she agreed to swap my out. I'm paying 180 tho. But I need a keyboard phone also, I send like 3,000 texts a month


btw I love your roms

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

I send about 5,000 a month.. Not fun on this Touch Keyboard haha.. I had the Mogul before this.. Hated the screen and how it wasnt flat on the phone and it was hard to get to the corners and the memory and how big it was.. but yeah..
Thanks .. I am glad you like my ROMs :)

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

Yea, i hae sbp full screen key board but it sux!! I had a mogul also but I hated that the keys were broke. memory and the screen were a big issue and then i got a iphone theme rom on it. And I was like wow imagine if I had the touch it would be an iphone loll. But that never happened since A i dont have patience to set it up like that and B M2D came out two months later.


If you get a pro, I cant wait to see what u'll be cooking for that

Re: Relocking with new Sprint ROM
 

Yeah the Mogul was nice but I must admit I like my Touch better :).. Currently I have no way of getting a Touch Pro because I dont want to spend about 500 on it since im only about 6 months into my contract =\=\ but I am gonna start cooking for the Mogul/Titan again. Thanks to whit who sent me a test phone :)
