Flashing while away from home? Bad idea?

[BooDaddy]

I wouldnt flash till I was back home. And when I was on VZW, I always had to do *228 after flashing in order to have data. I could make calls, but not data connetions until I had done *228.

Really? A provisioning cab doesn't set stuff right for you Verizon folks? I'm on Sprint and after installing a provisioning cab everything perfectly. I guess Sprint has a different system.

Japper, Now that I am on sprint, a provisioning cab takes care of everything for me now. After flashing my sprint phone, I just load up the provisioning cab, and hammer down. I usually go ahead and hit the prl download to be safe but it works fine without doing that.

Now, when I was on VZW, a provisioning cab wouldnt do that. I could make calls, but I wasnt able to get data unless I did a *228.

Wow that's a bummer for Verizon folks...

Sounds like the OP probably shouldn't mess around with flashing while away then...

First of all, it's not true & second of all who cares anyway??

Even if you DID have to dial *228 everytime that is a heck of a lot easier than updating the PRL on Sprint......

I have to disagree man. I have a nice little app in my settings tab that updates the PRL for sprint. I just click it and boom done. Dont get much easier than launching an app. No dialing, no waiting, no pressing numbers, nothing. Just launch the updater and done.

I never had to use PRL or Profile update to get my TP2 working again, and I've reflashed a bunch of times. I didn't even need to install a provisioning cab. I only use one so I can get Sprint TV working. But my voice/data/sms/mms work fine without doing anything.

So that's basically the same as Verizon then, I flashed to Juicy's ROM on my Verizon TP2 a few weeks ago & everything worked fine when I was done. I did have to set up the server settings in Arcsoft for MMS to work, but Sprint users have to do that too.

As I said before, I have flashed well over 100 times between my xv6800's, my four TP's & my TP2 & never once had to re-activate any of the phones.
