i just got an htc incredible flashed on boost mobile, can i use the unrevoked3 method to root and load cm7? i hear that cm7 has issues with boost mobile or something, and if not, does anybody know which rom i would be able to use without interfering with the boost flash, i'd like to keep my phone running new android os version releases anddont want to get stuck on 2.2, thanks.

I too have a similar setup. I flash every rom that comes out. Only thing that will give you problems would be the epst settings.
If you were to flash a verzion rom, chances are the apn and epst settings would b set up for their service.
You can dial ##778# to edit these settings . I dont know Boost mobile's ESPT settings.

So nobody knows of any roms to use w/ incredible on boost mobile?
you can find one on ebay, the sellers id was everythingcellular i think, or you can find someone off ebay,google,craigslist to flash it for you, you need a donor phone, the 2 ones i was told about were samsung rant and sanyo incognito, you get your service activated onto a donor phone and the person flashes it.

Are you on a stock ROM. Custom roms can cause problems when trying to change numbers ect. So flash a stock rooted rom and see if the problem occurs again

so i tried to find one but still didn't work do u know of a good completely stock rom w root i think the correct problem im having is the epst codes correct me if im wrong
The codes, if I recall correctly, only work on Sense based ROMs. Custom ROMs CAN cause issues but for the most part they SHOULD work fine. If you are having problems on a sense based ROM then you can flash the latest stock rooted ROM and you should be good to go. If worse comes to worse you can RUU back to stock and then run the code. I am pretty sure that your grandfather isn't going to care if the phone is rooted or not.

i recently flashed my samsung epic 4g to metro pcs and everything works except for mms (even the internet). the phone is also rooted but i am afraid to put a rom on it because i heard that there is a chance it could lose its flash. i am running android 2.3.5 and gingerbread.ei22. is there a metro pcs friendly rom out there?? thanks
From what I have heard, flashing another rom causes the phone to lose its MetroPCS flash. I hope someone can prove me wrong as I am trying to flash my Epic over to MetroPCS as well.
Also, out of curiosty, did you use this guide --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192128 to flash it over to MetroPCS?
yes
that is the guide i used, but you will still need to add your esn to metropcs's inventory. how? idk. but i ended up paying to get it flashed. they should knock a few bucks off since you did most of it. oh and if you follow the guide correctly and get it flashed by a store you shouldnt pay for internet just get regular talk and text because when i got mine flashed thats what they did and i still got internet for free. mms doesnt work though. hope i helped
edit: i also heard you can make a backup, flash the rom and if you dont have service restore and never do it again but im to afraid to risk losing it. if you try it (i dont recommend it) and it works please send a link to the rom. Thanks
I dont have a nandroid of stock and the stock nandroids in the forums wont work for me. The reason I need to do is because my dad is getting this phone with my upgrade, so they first need to activate it on my line and then i need to activate it on his phone and then finally return my phone which has this flashed.
I am running CM10 can I activate my phone with this rom or this a rom I can do it in? I don't want to odin because i want to avoid loosing data.

You can activate with the ROM installed. Do it online so you don't have to go to the store. All you will need is the phones unique ID.
That can be found on a sticker under the phones battery or through the phones about menu item in settings
Unique id = meid

my buddy gave me his evo 4g for my lil bro and he had it rooted with cm9 4.0.4....but couldnt figure out how to unroot...ive tried every method and cant get anything to work i cant get S-ON its stuck on off , can any one help me? Can't flash anything through clockwork mod either I want to return to stock so I can activate
No need to unroot in order to activate the phone. Flash a Sense ROM to your phone. You'll be able to activate it then. Make sure you back up your current setup in case something goes wrong and you have to go back. AOSP ROM's like Cyanogenmod lack the ability to update PRL and profile, which is needed for activation.
