You will learn alot more than just asking for someone to do it for you.

No kidding. Really? Read the threads? Gee. I never thought of that.

Thanks for nothing, chump.

I've been doing my homework for almost a year now, thank you very much. Just needed some clarification, as many experiences have been shared on these forums and it can get quite confusing.

Hmm .. no name calling please. Let's be adults.

Anyway, your questions above do not seem like they come from someone who has done their homework. Every one of your questions are answered in here and here and here.

I never have a problem helping people out at all. But, I learned all that I learned from reading from experiences of others -- and yes, I did consider it as doing homework.

There are 'basically' three parts to the software that runs your phone.
1. There is the SPL / bootloader.
2. There is the Radio ROM.
3. There is the System ROM.

All three must line up correctly.
1. If you are using code prior to 3.16 then you need either have the following SPLs:
>>>a. The ReLocker 1.06 SPL if running official carrier released code
>>>b. The unLocker (original) 1.20 if running custom built roms
2. If you are using 3.16+ code then you need either:
>>>a. The reLocker if upgrading to the unofficial carrier released rom
>>>b. the unLocker (new) 2.40 if running custom built roms

The path that is ABSOLUTELY the easiest and has the least potential of errors:

**Before you begin, make sure you have your MSID/MDN/EPST codes.**

1. If running pre-3.16 code,
>>>a. run the relocker, if you have already unlocked your spl
(don't worry about getting out of the bootloader - tri-color screen)
>>>b. do nothing if on official stock carrier released rom
2. Run the Unofficial carrier released rom 3.16 (this has the radio also)
3. If wanting to install custom rom:
>>>a. run the unLocker for 3.16 and above
(don't worry about getting out of the bootloader - tri-color screen)
4. Install you custom rom of choice.

No gurantees ever implied, but this IS easy and as bullet proof as possible.
