First of all, many thanks to GAmedic for what looks to be a simple and quality tutorial for us n00bs. I'm about to undertake this task myself, as I just paid 35 bucks to the a place in town that could not get my internet, MMS, or GPS functional and seemed to know about as much as I did after I took the device home and did some research.
I've read through some of the tutorial already and I have a question.
I have a VZW Mogul 6800. It is flashed and working with Cricket (but only calling and SMS are currently functional).
A quote from the tutorial concerns me:
"Attention Verizon users: When you finish flashing you ROM you will need to call Verizon for a new Akey."
I'm not sure the person who originally flashed it flashed a new radio. If not, I'm curious to know how to go about getting a new Akey, as I am NOT a Verizon customer and never was. Can I call Cricket to get one if I need one? If not can, I still call Verizon and get a new one if necessary?
Is there a way to find out if he flashed a new radio and I do not need to get a new Akey?
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Once I am done flashing my phone and getting it to work, I will donate some money to the cause.
Living with crippled devices is for suckers!
Thanks again!
