NOOB ? - Upgrade process from Custom ROM to Hopefully released OEM ROM.
 

As the anticipated hour of the HTC Official 3.xx ROM release nears, I would like to ask the community some NOOB questions:


1.) What steps will need to be followed in order to get the OEM ROM installed if I have NO2CHEM's 5051 ROM installed?

2.) Do I need to relock the device? If so, how do I do it?


3.) Can I just load a custom ROM later and avoid relocking the device?


I currently have:

Sprint beta 3.16
Radio 3.27
Olipro Unlocker 2.40
No2Chem’s 5051 Custom ROM


Any help easing my fears would be greatly welcomed.


respectfully,


RW

You will likely need to re-lock and flash back to 2.17. That's what I've done in anticipation..

realistically it's probably worth just waiting a day or two so that No2Chem can put out a new rom - this one coming out won't have WM6.1 more than likely so it's an upgrade in some aspects and a downgrade in others...

I am also wondering the same things as OP. My research tells me that even if we intend to wait for a custom ROM to come out, we still need to relock regardless in order to get the new radio. Can an expert confirm this?

Would I follow this process :scratch::

1.) Run the Titan Relocker

2.) Load OEM 2.17

3.) Load OEM 3.xx official release (hopefully released on 3/10)

4.) Run HARD_SPL_MFG (to unlock)

5.) Load new custom ROM (either No2Chem's, DCD's, or NexVisions and the works of other awesome cooks)

6.) Enjoy

Just trying to make sure that I don't brick my phone because I did something I thought was right instead of asking and doing it right.

thanks in advance,

If I wait for No2Chem's custom ROM, I still need to install the newly released 3.xx ROM because of the new radio, hopefully fixed memory leaks, and other fixes, correct?

you will still need the new rom for the radio and prl
