Let custom ROM "customize" after hard reset if I'm already on Sprint 3.35?

[theTastyCat]

Hi all - thanks so much for all the work that's gone into this stuff. I've searched, but can't find this answer.

I know (from bitter experience) that it's a mortal sin to allow the Sprint customizations to run when upgrading a Verizon phone to Sprint 3.35. My question is after I flash a custom ROM (such as no2chem's kitchen), should I allow the "customization" to happen or would that bring me back to Sprint purgatory?

Thanks,

Gerry

yeah let it go ahead, its still going to read sprint every where you need to get a program called personalizer, run a search for it on the forums and make sure u get the new version 3 good luck ive been having some trouble with it but most people have good experiences with it

Hey rhahhah - I recognize you for another thread. Actually, I let it all run the first time like an idiot and then follow the un-Sprinting instructions left by some good soul and was able to get totally un-Sprinted, even to the point of "Verizon Wireless" reappearing next to the phone, etc.

I'm just wondering if when I run a custom ROM I should let it go through and do big, important, custom-ROM things or whether it will re-Sprint me.

Thanks for the reply - hopefully somebody can weigh in.

i just did some research, you might be able to get away with this:
reflash the phone with the original verizon rom and what not... just check out this link

Oh, definitely - if you're still having that problem, follow the link in there to the xda-developers page and you can completely un-Sprint your phone. My question is about letting another custom rom run its customizations after the phone has been upgraded to 3.35 with the Sprint ROM.

Anybody?

Thanks,

Gerry

if you dont let it run i dont think it will do any harm... sorry i guess i was just spamming this board with useless information

OK, I just said heck with it and let the customizations run after flashing a ROM I made from no2chem's 6.1 kitchen. Did a brief thing and restarted - definitely no Sprint-assimilation going on. So, brethren, allow customization without prejudice.

I asked that very question up in the No2Chem novella...er, I mean thread.

The response I got was that it was only there in that ROM to facilitate UC. If you didn't set up the UC files on your SD card, then it did nothing. But I believe that somebody disagreed with that....

I did let it run after loading No2Chem 5048. Phone worked fine after getting another A-key, but there's still lots of stray "Sprint" references in things like the 'connecting' bubble. And all over the registry.....
