I have a Verizon Palm Pre Plus, and I initially had it flashed using some rom that I can't remember the name of, but it won't come off!!

I have flashed to stock 1.4.1.1, and it will successfully complete and all, but after a reboot or 2, it's back on the same software!!!

Basically, my ultimate motive is to get this Beezle rom running, but it always gets to about 85%, then fails!!!

Any ideas or input would be much appreciated!!

thats because that rom is locked to the sid of the person/place where it was originally purchased from.

when you buy his rom he locks it with your home sid so that it cant be shared and used without paying for it.

the computer the rom is on cant leave the home sid area or the flash will fail,in your case your not in the same sid as the person who bought that rom,so it will load but fail everytime,that is why. but once the phone is flashed in the correct place it will work anywhere. its a pretty cool lock,very unique.

Well I flashed another Pre Plus with it, and it worked just fine.

I honestly think it has something to do with the original rom that is on it.

Any other ideas??
