Make sure you use the SECOND link, where it says New version 2.40.

1) If flashing both OS and RADIO, do I have to do the RADIO ROM FIRST?
2) Can I leave the stock OS ROM and just do the RADIO ROM update?
3) When running the unlocker/hardspl, do I let it go through the whole flash sequence, or just cancel it out when it asks for the ROM file?

Thanks for all the time and help!

*it may not have been BRICKED, but I didn't know how to get it past the VZW splash screen, and the ROM instructed that you had to have the correct RADIO and it was still on the old version*

When installing the hard-SPL unlocker, let the process run through to completion. If you do not, it will not be completely installed and you will have problems.
