I have a Droid incredible that is currently on revol service not Verizon . I want to use a new Rom because I am currently using a stock Rom ... but will I lose my flash setting for revol if I use one of these roms .....will I have to pay to get my phone flashed again. I have been searching for a answer all day ..
I don't think you would, unless you were to flash back to stock. When you flash a new rom, you don't have to reactivate the phone, just put your google info in again. So my guess would be no, but I'm not 100% sure about that, maybe another more knowledgeable member can give you a definite answer.
Well, not sure about revol but I have a Dinc flashed to MetroPCS and I do not lose my flash when I install a new rom. I DO however lose MMS and internet which I have to reset after every install but no biggie. You should be OK...

Tomorrow I am going to have my Sprint phone flashed to work on the Cricket network. I just need to understand something. Once this is done is it written to the hardware? If I remove and install the OS several times am I going to have to go and pay to have Cricket flashed on it again? $85 is steep. Right now I am using the DCD ROM, but I may try newer roms in the future. Is there a way I can do this myself? Also will this flash allow the GPS, MMS, and internet work?
Thanks
What phone are we talking about here?
the Sprint mogul. has the dcd 3.2.2 Rom
I just got my tilt 2 about a month ago. I want to flash a clean rom, but here are my questions:
1. I heard that I have to unlock my phone before I flash a new rom, is that true?
2. Which rom do you guy recommend? I just need a clean rom with TouchFLO 3D or Sense.
3. How can I back up the rom I'm using now?
4. If I have to unlock my phone to flash a new rom(which I'm not willing to do it now), how can I delete all the pre-installed softwares? I looked it up in Wiki, but when I try to delete something by using CEregeditor, it always says that access denied. How to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot
you dont need to sim or security unlock your phone but you do need hardspl. if you want a clean rom with manila/tf3d/sense i would recommend eras2r's rom at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585403 . and for reverting to stock for warranty and everything else you need check out http://tilt2.blownfuze.org/
Thanks. I got another question, do I also ned to flash radio? what is that for?
radio is for wifi, gps, and cellular connections like phone and mobile data. you dont need to flash one. the stock radio that comes on the phone is one of the best stock radios i have seen. on the old touch pro, you would need to flash a new radio if you wanted to get a signal anywhere or use gps in this decade. i always flash the newest radios just cause i can but thats me, i dont like out dated software. i would wait on the radio if i where you, just to know what it all means first.
Now that I am with AT&T, I have no use for my Evo. Well, a good friend at work dropped her evo and cracked the screen. Long story short, I gave her my old Rooted evo but we ran into a problem. When she went to have it activated on her account, they couldn't get a certain star code to work in order for her to either retrieve or enter some information. (IDK, I wasn't there). The rep on the phone said it was due to the fact that it was rooted with a "cooked" ROM. So, my first question is 1. Does anyone have or know of a rom that I can flash that wont cause this issue when she tries to activate it on her account again and 2, If not, does anyone have an RUU file with a shipped rom because all the links I have found no longer work. Thanks.
What ROM was on the phone?
You have to be running a Sense ROM in order to activate, use the dialer functions, update profile and PRL. Just flash a stock rooted ROM and it'll be fine. Here is a stock rooted ROM from Captain Throwback. It's based on the most recent software update.

Also, here are the RUU files for the EVO, should you decide to go that route, instead.

I'm looking for all the help I can get.
I have a Sprint GS4 mini and I got this for my girl. all my phones I've always picked it up directly at sprint so it was always activated so I wasn't away that I would have problems activating her phone that I bought online.
Trying to be proactive so once I gave her the phone nothing would need to be done. I rooted it and installed a custom rom so I could have the bloatware and everything setup nicely for her.
I found out they can't activate it because of the custom rom and it didn't have the sprint PRL. I know the easy answer would be to flash stock, but the 1 stock file that's floating around online does not work, it crashes in ODIN.
I have the Dev of the ROM working with me but i'm hoping to help him and me by putting this out to everyone to see if anyone has any thoughts or a good stock firmware.
Also is it possible for anyone running SPHL-520 to upload a nandroid w/o Data so I can try to restore. I'm lost on what I can do now.
Thanks guys.
I can't seem to google anything on this, all the stuff is flashing Sprint to Verizon..
But I want to sign up for the Freedom pop completely free deal (BYOD) and I need to flash to sprint..
Anyone got a link with working flashable .zip (Assuming I can simply flash it in CWM Recovery), or is this even possible?
Edit: It looks like a Need a Phone Unlock Key (PUK). I guess you have to buy these, since I doubt freedompop has reachable customer service.. I was hoping for a FREE option, I'm sure there has to be one?
