it depends how much patience you have. some of these questions you need to ask the person you are buying it from. either way with the resources of this website, you should be able to have a working device & buying one already supposed to work on cricket should limit the amount of time you have to mess with it. however if you are into modding & customizing your phone this is all a moot point as you will spend countless hours playing with it anyway ;D
