[Q] Factory Reset

[stormster]

Hello,
Recently i bought a HTC Sensation 4G from T-mobile, although i use it in my country (Bulgaria, MobilTel) and I wanted to factory reset it. But i was wondering if it will lock the phone back to T-mobile ? And i read all about the custom roms...
Can some1 clear the + and - of flashing the phone with a custom rom ?
Thank you very much...

Resets and roms don't affect whether it is unlocked or not.
Mine is unlocked too from Tmobile and I've been through most of the roms here, lol

What I'd like to know is whether an RUU affects the unlocked state.

I honestly don't know if a factory reset will lock the phone again. I kind of doubt it though.

As for the pros and cons of flashing a custom rom, it's whatever you want from it. Custom ROMs can allow for extra battery life, quicker response, more features, a different look, etc. You can also root and mod your stock ROM if you dont want to flash a complete ROM, add complete themes, application modifications, etc.

The downside? You might get addicted and want to do it more. That and needing to set it back to stock to get warranty service should you need to.
