Re: Getting phone activated, want feedback / info

Excellent! Thanks guys, very informative

I understand what the PRL is, but I'm not sure what PRI means. I'll look for it later today & download it. I'm more curious about the order in which I should do these things, mainly what should I do to prep the phone before activation, and what I should do afterward. I'm not sure which settings (if any) might get lost during the activation process (I wouldn't think anything though, but hey I could be wrong). The phone currently has the stock Alltel ROM on it, and it has cmonex's hard-spl 0.37 flashed. Right now here's what I'm planning on doing...

  1. Get on the phone with my friend and have him add the ESN to the Verizon DMD
  2. Ask my friend to force a DMU reset so that new settings can be written to the phone
  3. Activate the phone
  4. Flash the latest MightyROM image onto the phone
  5. Install the VZW Carrier Cab (although MightyROM might already be geared for this, will check)
  6. Install the latest VZW PRI
  7. Make a call to force 1xRTT and to have any keys/settings written that need to be written
  8. Enjoy my new phone :P

See anything wrong? Am I missing anything? Anything out-of-order?
