Did you install MSVC?....if so make sure it is the latest version....

Is there a tool to backup my current rom? In case i mess up my phone during the flash, i can reload my orignal rom?

Also, I just update my phone to 6.1 (latest firmware from htc - software ver: 3.56.651 and firmware ver: 3.42.02)

Reading thru the post, this is what i need to do to unlock my phone and put a custom rom.
1. unlock it w/ 2.47
2. load the custom rom

Is that correct?

BTW. I have sprint Mogul

Thanks

Yes since you have Sprint you can just run the latest Srint ROM from HTC. After that run an unlocker-2.40 or 2.47. Once you do that you can load a custom ROM.

As far as backup of your data. You should track down something like PIMBackup, or sync w/ your computer.
before you upgrade back up anything important to you

You got it! That should work

[chevyforlife]

most things can be solved with a re-flash of the rom.

[adriancox]

yes that is how i did the build. is MSVC 1 of the things you choose when building. where is it?
