Ok, so I want my phone to stop warning me that my information could be gathered by a third party.
I would like to do this so I can enable my GPS via a text message for the app "Wheres My Droid".
I am currently stock/rooted.
Thanks for any and all help!
Try another ROM. I'm using CM7 and it doesn't ask me ever, then again, I haven't had any of the annoying aspects that most have had.
You can even try another almost stock ROM. I've noticed different kernels react to permissions differently also.

Yeah. I am going to do that... I am just trying to decide which one I want first.

**Edit**
Well now I feel stupid. I just rebooted my phone after doing a nandroid backup... and it asked the same thing but instead of "Ok" and "Cancel" it said "Ok" and "Never Warn Again"...
I have a small echo-like noise now that I hear during phone calls on my phone. I think it is a hardware issue because I don't hear it on my bluetooth headset. I called Verizon 800 number the other night because I was wondering about the 4G outage and mentioned my audio problem while I was on the phone with her. She said if I call back from another phone, tech support would connect to my Thunderbolt and troubleshoot the audio problem, and if its unfixable they would send me another Thunderbolt.
I am wondering if I need to unroot before I do this....would tech support be able to tell if my phone was rooted and thus void the warranty and not be able to do anything for me? What should I do?
Bare minimum I'd install the stock rom on there, I don't believe they would dig far enough to see if fastboot is unlocked.
As for the title question Yes, they can tell if rooted.
I don't think they can tell Cuz I called yesterday Cuz my screen is messing up they called me back on another line and wanted me to do a factory reset but didn't know that I was already on GB

The only thing I can think of, and I'm no expert or anything so this is just a guess, is that they could look at the software version of the phone, and if it isn't the latest, or a previous release for this phone, then they could speculate that you are rooted, though I don't think that alone would hold up in court if it ever came to that.
When the support rep told the OP that they would "connect to my Thunderbolt and troubleshoot the audio problem", I think they were going by the standard "don't call tech support from the phone that's having the issue" practice.
Can they remotely connect to our phones ? I wasn't aware that they could.

Over the phone? Absolutely Not
Correct, that's what they said ("don't call tech support from the phone that's having the issue" practice.)
So should I still unroot to be safe before I call them or no....
What ROM are you using ?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
If you want to be on the safe side, make a nand backup, flash a stock ROM, call them, then restore the backup. I'll pretty sure they can't tell if you have a custom recovery.

Don't know how they do it, (simple user here) and not the first time I've seen this asked or answered. If you're bored jump on every TB forum your on and I'm sure you'll find your curiosity satisfied. Maybe it was on BAMF? I could care less how they do it. (No ins here) Call technical support and ask them what rom your on and how dare they know that.

Liquid AOSP 3.2.
I unrooted just to be safe and the tech rep never said anything and I got them to send me a new sim card and if that doesn't solve my problem (which I don't think it will), then they will send me a new thunderbolt.
When I rooted again after the phone call it wouldn't let me restore my rom and I got stuck in a boot loop. Luckily I had rom zip's on my sd card, so I installed one from scratch, reflashed cwm via rom mgr again, then it let me restore it.
Very weird, and I was terrified I jacked my phone up.

Hmm keep looking, I won't be at a pc till tomorrow maybe. But like I said I have no way to confirm only what I've read which is what I do. And that was second hand information. As most of this is. I'm really trying to remember because I know these site searching's are lacking at best.
I just recently used to work for at&t customer care and if vzw is anything like them, the only way they can maybe tell is if you have an unlimited data plan plus unofficial tethering app. Or if you send it in for warranty/Asurion replacement. Otherwise i don't really see how they could see in any way if it was rooted

That is understandable, thank you. Still gotta get to my pc. I know people have called in on their rooted devices for certain reasons and been called out only to deny. And of course unroot before going in. For whatever reason. Sticking to it.
That's why I asked what ROM. A support rep could simply tell the person to read them a version # that will be different than "stock".

is there a way to put this phone.apk onto an ICS rom? im on cricket wireless and the voicemail doesnt work native for the rom im on. its the MIK zrd3 rom.

I'm on cricket as well, what do you mean native voice mail doesn't work? Is it set up with your phone number in the phone settings? I've always just used Google Voice, way better IMHO.
I mean when I person leaves a voicemail it doesn't leave a icon at top. I just gotta call my voicemail every now and then to make sure there isn't one.

Oh, ok. yeah I've always used GV. Have you tried pushing that phone.apk to system and reboot? Does it work?
yea i did a nandroid and pushed it. when i rebooted the phone process just kept giving me FC and it was so unusable that i had to go back to my backup. i know it dont work now..lol.
Yeah for awhile I just thought no one was leaving me voicemails till one day I called just to check and my voicemail was full...lol. when you pushed it did you sweet the permissions to rw-r-r?

my file manager auto makes the system rw-r-r..its an option. so yes it does get the permission it needs to write over.
I know you probably want to use the native voicemail, but take a gander at this. Later today I will try and see what is going on with the phone.apk. Can't guarantee anything, but at least take a look at GV, its is awesome.

hopefully you can get this figured out, because I am on Boost, and I have also tried to push a phone.apk that had working voicemail notifications before I upgraded to and ICS rom, and I had the same problem with force closes, and unstability.... I have tried google voice, but unfortunately at this time, GV does not support boost....
There is absolutely no support in the main thread so I decide to create my own thread. CDMA workshop is what's needed to get talk and text working, and QSPT gets data working, correct? If so, can I pay to have the phone flashed with just talk and text, and then get the data working my self or is there a certain process that's need to be done with CDMA workshop in order for QSPT to get the data working? Can anyone Enders this please?
Flashed to what? PagePlus?

Have you tried to manually program with CDMA WS?
The first time I tried it didn't work, and I listed my rez on Craigslist, but then, for some reason, I tried again and that time it worked. Just call up a P+ rep, and tell them you need the values for manually programming the phone.
I didn't program the data because I'm not on the monthly plans.

someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe as soon as you pop in a verizon SIM card it will program back to verizon. but I would verify that by someone else first, probably IamTheOneTheyCallNeo or any of the rom devs would know.

Didnt work!
Hey guys i tried following the link showing hwo to flash. It all seemed to work. i tried making an outbound call and i just get the verizon auto system saying its not active. I thought maybe its because of the sim card. Without sim card it doesnt even try to call and says needs a sim card. Can Anyone help me out on what i might have done wrong? Text doesnt work either! I dont really care about 3g i just want to have my TandT.
Hello all I was wondering if I am able to change my phone # OTA with sprint if my HTC EVO 4G LTE that is Rooted S-ON?

Shouldn't matter that you're rooted. Might want to make sure that you're running a Sense ROM when you change your number.

I believe all that is on sprints end, and I know sometimes it could take an hour or two before your service is restored. How long ago did you change your #?
As far as updating your profile manually, I don't know, there may be a way. But I've never had to do that, as I've had the same number since 2004...search the forum to see if there's a thread about it anywhere.

If you're on a Sense ROM try updating your profile, otherwise Sprint needs to reprovision your service.
You can update your profile under the system updates menu.

You need to do a full/hard reset of your device.
*This will wipe all of your data/storage*
(doing this from memory, so the steps may not be in exact order)
1. Make a nandroid backup of your existing setup.
2. Backup all of your sdcard stuff to your computer.
3. Download msl reader and get your msl number.
4. Dial ##786# in your dialer, and enter your msl number when it asks for a password.
5. When the page loads, press menu and choose reset.
6. Once rebooted, do a profile and prl update and test your device.
7. Once verified as working, restore your nandroid and sdcard data.
8. Win.
This will wipe the provisions of your phone (as well as everything else) and reactivate your device on sprints network.

Well I figured it out the other day if anyone ever has this problem uninstall Google voice disable your account online as well. Hard reset then it should be fine. For some reason Google voice was interfered with make and receiving calls. Thanks for all the suggestions much appreciated
