That guide is for the Verizon Touch.. He has the Sprint Touch.. Might be the same depending..


Ok if that guide didnt help.. It probably did but I will post here anyways and explain a little

Skip this step if you already have a radio version of 3.42.30 and a ROM version of 3.03 which means you already have the latest Sprint ROM

First you need to download and install the latest Sprint Official ROM from here http://www.htc.com/us/supportdownloa..._id=76&cat=all
Once its done downloading run it and flash it to your phone... This will upgrade your radio and ROM version

Now unlock with ImCokeMan's 2.31 Unlocker which is for GPS enabled radios.

Then you may flash any ROM you want.. Just run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe when you download the ROM..

Hope that helps you...
If you already knew this information I apologize for the uneeded post

Haha yeah the part with setting up your phone again kind of sucks.. contacts and all.. i hate that part a lot..
chances are you will not brick your phone unless you make a mistake and even then its probably recoverable.. unless your messing with stuff like porting roms from other phones or radios or something that will brick your phone... if you have any questions dont be afraid to ask..
