If nothing is carrier directional or specific you should still be able to function quite well. By hard coded I am saying it cannot be changed with a flash, not that it cannot be edited at all. Where do the carrier customizations come from (directed to) if it is all zero-ed out? I agree that it cannot be the phone number that is carrier specific because they were forced to be able to port numbers. The ROM is no more than an OS that can be fully edited and modified. So what in the EPST is carrier specific and directs its attention to the carrier in the event of a hard reset and carrier customizations?

I do not know what is set by carrier customizations, or otherwise, that tells the phone that it is a Sprint, Verizon, or whatever carrier device; but in the past, when my MSID and MDN were modified to invalid data during ROM flashing, the phone still knew what carrier it was supposed to access. I did not suggest clearing every entry in the EPST; just MDN, MSID, and NAI. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I have could enlighten us; but for now, for the OP's purposes, the data that identifies him or her individually can be scrambled without destroying the next owner's ability to use the phone.
