Bought a phone with MeanBean 3.06 already installed. Will Sprint be able to activate it with this rom running or will I have to take it back to stock, activate it, then re-install MeanBean?
Yes, they can activate it with no problem. Call them on the phone or take it to a Sprint store.

ok i have successfully rooted and s-offed my 3vo but that calling problem i have (error 16) so i called sprint and they asked me for alternative number i said no and they said its ok but they needed some personal info(im 13 and on my uncles plan)so i said i dont know as im on my uncles plan and she said ok and then she asked for name. i gave her my name and then she asked for my uncles name and i gave that to her and she said thats not what comes up so i said well i dont y and she said to go to sprint store and get them fixed. i cant go or take a chance of getting caught with s-off or root. ok so i was done with sprint. now i tried dialing ##72786# to reset hands free and hands free worked but still no calling. i tried ##3282# and reset profile and now i get verizon wireless wen i call .and now i did it again and sometimes i get sprint(mostly) and sometimes verizon.
im stuck and dont know what to do...should i talk to sprint again and hope the next person doesnt ask for info or is there a fix idk about...
thanks to whoever posts
I think you should flash a stock rom( rooted of course)...just tell your uncle that some of your friends also are having some issues with the particular phone and a new update simply needs to reset the phone by owner calling the representative. You don't need a another line..see other thread about what to say. This should be a no biggie. You are not lying and you are infact telling the truth.

its very funny for me when you said that just tell your uncle that friends having the same problem (thx anyways)but i kinda actually root and customize phones for him and he sells them on ebay etc... (im probally going to root his as he has one too) ... but is there a point to flash stock as i didnt debloat or anything just rooted and s-offed
No, if you do mods for your uncle..he should be responsible for it then. Reason for the stock rom was to make sure you did not get in trouble for rooting it. But it seems like no big then. Have him do it, simple as that.
I work at sprint. That just happens sometimes when the phone is reset .. make a call it will tell you to stay on the phone it then will connect you to a rep they'll reset a setting. And then you should be good.

no its my phone though and i need it and i was saying that he doesnt care that was my point and im trying to fix it with costing him
It doesn't cost anything to reset the phone.
Ok here is what you do, just log on to his sprint account online. Take one of the other phones and put it on your line, any sprint phone will do as long as it isnt activated at the time. Once you have swapped the phones online just wait 5 minutes and swap the 3VO back to the line, presto you are done, just make sure both phones are off when you do this. Once you have swapped the 3VO back to the account wait 5 mins then boot it up, it will go to the activation and presto it will be all set to go.

get a new one i meant which i doubt is going to happen but i just dont feel like telling anyone and dealing it with my self
I had the same problem, after flashing no calls or texts would go through. I called Sprint, gave them the error code (from failed text msg) and she asked me to remove the battery give her the ID code on the back of the phone and she had it working by the time I booted up. I did not offer any reasons for the problem and she did not ask, I really couldn't have been easier.
I had the same problem at first and I've had 3 different solutions.
1. Update profile and PRL (seems unnecessary but its worked for multiple ppl)
2*. Download MSL Reader. Once you have your MSL go to dialer and enter ##yourmsl#. That will being up EPST. Select edit. Change YOUR number (top one) to 000000000 and leave the MSID. Reboot. Allow hands free activation to go through. If it takes longer than 5 mins hit cancel and go back to EPST (##yourmsl#) and change the string of 0's to your number. Reboot.
3. Call sprint and tell them you have error code 8 or 16 when trying to make a call. That tells them they need to reset your phone.

My TB is having charging issues, but since I bought it used I cant take it back to verizon, but I do have Asurion insurance on it...
My question is:
With verizon, they wont accept a return if its been rooted, but how about asurion?
I rooted my phone to try an wipe the battery stats, but it didnt work,
Ive gone back to stock, but cant seem to get S-on again... will they still take the phone?
thanx

the first file/image loaded fine, got me back to stock android
but the second image wouldnt load, from HBoot it would say "bypassed"
I have since accepted the OTA so im running build 1.70 now...
can I still try loading the second image (via HBoot) and seeing if it takes it this time, or will it only work while running 1.12 (or was it 1.13)
thanx

Asurion doesn't warranty anything. It's insurance. You're wasting your time, too, because on an insurance claim they don't care if they ever see the phone again. Tell them its currently deep sea diving.
So just tell them its not charging properly, then pay a deductible and they send me a new phone, then send them mine?
(I have an issue with the lying thing, but thanx for the input)
Danny
I doubt they would even ask. I've replaced phones through them 3 times. I would avoid sending them the phone though. Just tell them you aren't able to send it back and leave it at that.

I have HTC Rezound. Verizon. It is plain jane stock. Insurance replaced assiorion or whatever.

Would like to load unlock something to get updated Bluetooth drivers or something for my phone. Verizon Tech support less than
useless. Can anybody help today like upgrade my phone to a ROM thing?

If it's not working with the stock rom, I doubt switching roms is gonna help.
If you wanna try another rom, gotta start by unlocking the bootloader via the htcdev.com website.
Follow up to step 6 to get unlocked, after that you need a custom recovery then you can start flashing roms.

If after a factory reset Bluetooth is not working, I would call Asurion and get another replacement that does work... plain and simple. If it doesn't work on stock, the chances it will work on anything else are near 0, and unlocking may void your warranty, resulting in a charge to you if they have to replace it later.

Asurion said sorry your phone is working the Bluetooth problem is Verizon. Verizon say sorry your software version on your phone by
Asurion is the problem of Asurion. They have been pointing there fingers at eachother then they say they have never heard of an HTC resound having a Bluetooth problem. This is driving me crazy. Had this problem about a year ago. Verizon had an update and it fixed it.
Problem is I can not update my Adroid version to do this because ASS surion and VerMoran have it locked.

No... Asurion is wrong and they know it, the phone is defective, you should insist they give you a working device, that is why you had the insurance, not to get a defective phone

Hey all, just want some friendly advice.
My wireless charging stopped working (please don't make fun of me for this) and I considering going into Verizon to talk to a rep.
My phone is out of warranty, and rooted running cm11. I figure because I'm out of warranty, I probably won't get a new phone/refurb phone. But I'm considering trying, just might luck out, ya know?
My question is this, since I don't go to Verizon stores. Do they care about rooting/roms? I've read mixed reports, and don't want to go to the hassle of going back to stock, especially if I'm already SOL. And I have no idea how to get back to stock at this point. I've been running custom roms since I got the phone.
Thanks for the feedback!

I would recommend making a backup
>flash a stock Rom that has reports of wireless charging working>check it if it still doesn't work. If it works I'd go thru trouble shooting in your Rom thread, If not I'd assume it's your hardware.(I'd make sure it's not your charger as well) And in that case return it to stock and return it to Verizon.

Thanks for the feedback. I've tried both venom and cm11, so I guess I'll flash back to stock and make a trip to the store. Thanks again.
IMO Verizon associates are clueless. They can barely operate tablet they use to check you in the store. My speakerphone had blew out so I took my Rooted, unlocked, custom ROM phone in so they could see it. They didn't say anything. Worst case scenario they say your phone looks different... Just say its a icon pack theme you got off the play store. I've even taken my ladies phone to get looked at....they didn't notice anything. Hope you get your problem resolved!:thumbup:

I would not walk into a VZW store with a rooted phone looking for a refurb. Even if the rep is clueless and replaces your phone with a refurb phone, the refurb facility that gets your old phone will know it is rooted and charge your account several hundreds of dollars for the refurb'd phone that you got in the store. Then it is up to you to prove that it wasn't and try to get your old phone back.
Best thing to do is to do a recovery backup on the existing phone, return to stock, get a replacement, root, s-off, and install recovery, and restore the backup.

When a phone is received by the refurb facility, the phone is checked for three things and if its Rooted/Unlocked isn't one of them. They simply check to see if the box that the device was sent in is damaged, if the phone has any physical damage, and if it powers on. I have friends that are/have been phone techs at Verizon and Sprint. All they do anyways is just reflash the phone. This is just my 2 cents and what I know. Now of you send a rooted/unlocked phone that has major damage you will be charged.... Not for root/unlocked reasons.
