Hi!~ I upgraded to 3.16 but am not to happy with it and want to go back to stock. I think I'm gonna wait till an official release. Thing is I can't seem to flash the 2.17 rom! I get an error right after it gets to 1%! I know I relocked this thing to get 3.16 on here. Whats going on now? Anybody try reverting back? Anything would be helpful.

Sorry your experience was not good.

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

If returning to 2.17 Official Carrier Released Rom from a 3.16+ build:

**Make sure you have your MSID/MDN/EPST codes**

1. Download your carriers official released 2.17 ROM
2. >>>a. run the relocker (as you are running this, make sure you follow the on-screen directions fully -- read carefully!)
(don't worry about getting out of the bootloader - tri-color screen)
3. Install your carriers official released 2.17 ROM

That's it. :)

You know guys this is the reason I hate posting on forums cause you have 0 people willing/wanting to help and 200 wanting to bash you for not searching. If you had read my post instead of probably the title you would have read that I stated I tried everything I knew, meaning I did search but to no help. I also stated I was running Vista which im guessing the unlocker you are referring to in the simple search you did states in the post if you are running vista be prepared to heavily troubleshoot. Im no professional troubleshooter but if there is a guide (which I find searching these forums) I can follow it and usually do what I am hoping to accomplish. When I cant I post here trying to get help not get ridiculed for something that someone is ASSuming I did not do.

Quite a generalization you make there. "0 people willing/wanting to help"? Statements like that are a slap in the face to those of us who do help out quite often.

My suggestion is you search the forums and if you can't find it here, you might try the online chat linked at the top of the page labeled "PPCGeeks Chat".
