Hi i just bought a phone online, i cant activate it because i dont have a data plan, i can possibly borrow a sim with data plan, my question is after root, and after erase everything, will it ask for a data plan again? i mean like wipe everything and start again, will it be required a data plan ?
Along with the above question, I have an unlocked mytouch which I am planning to root. My question is will the phone remain unlocked after I am done rooting?
It will remain unlocked.
Almost all custom ROMs have the option to skip activation until a wifi connection has been established so no, you won't need a data plan AS LONG AS you have an sd adapter that you can use to copy the custom rom to your sdcard. I'm saying this because after you downgrade to cupcake to root, you won't be able to copy files by just connecting your phone to the computer through USB since it won't be activated.
so the two questions you are asking are these:
1. Do you need data plan to START using the phone?
Yes if the phone is not rooted you will need data plan to login to the phone, after that you are good to go. (advice from me, root the phone and install a ROM that gives an option to skip initial registration of the phone, look up syanogen mod as an example)
2. will the phone remain unlocked after rooting?
the answer is yes. I have a mytouch too and reset it several time now. I had no problem using different sim cards in it.
a side note, what ever you do not unroot the phone or you will get stuck, if you ever read sappimg.nbh in the instruction then stop cuz that means unrooting.
upgraded my rom from my sig to HTC rom seen here
http://www.htc.com/us/support/mogul-sprint/downloads/
now i cannot access any data plan stuff.. no internet, etc... what can i try to get this working?
i reinstalled the rom in my sig and it isnt working either...
i know that the custom rom installs and you install the sprint carrier (in my case)
and it worked.. this isnt working now...
so i am flashing back to the OEm... which also took my radio back to 3.42.02 so i flashed that back to 3.42.50 and still no luck....
may just take it over to sprint to have them flash it... it will have the htc rom
Do a search.
There is a restore function on data connections that will reinitialize the data connection settings.

never heard of that one. You may have lost your "A" key. Try loading the rom you want with the radio you want, provision it and call sprint to reactivate it. This has happened to me way too many times to count.
Hello. I've recently been searching around and haven't been able to find too much information on my problem. I recently flashed my HTC Hero to CricKet (yes... I'm sure my phone is yelling "kill me!" lol). I brought it to a shop and they were able to get me setup on a NON-Android plan. They flashed a DamageControl ROM, which is OS 2.1, and I was getting data with it and of course I wanted a newer ROM so I started exploring. I flashed CM 7.1 and now data isn't working... The "About Phone" says "[email protected]" and my research tells me it should say "[email protected]". Could this be the problem and how would I go about changing it?
BTW: I did make a NAND of the DamageControl working data ROM and if I restore it data DOES work. But if a factory reset/wipe got rid of it, then it can't be too hard to get on another ROM right? Doesn't this mean it's just a user setting?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
if you still need it I posted on cricketusers_com a copy of how mine was setup
Hi Again Guys,
My phone recently wasn't getting any signal when i flashed to the ROM 4.4.2. So people said to flash back to the stock rom, i have now done that and the WiFi stopped working. I can't even download a ROM manager to try and load another ROM.
I think i've really messed up my phone. I want to wipe everything completely and start from new, then re try flashing to the latest ROM 4.4.2 so i can get my WiFi and Mobile Data working again. I can't get calls without it having a black screen / no sound. My phone keeps turning off every so often.
I think i've missed matched wrong Modems and Baseband Versions?
What information do you need exactly from my phone to give you to try and help? Really need my phone working for work purposes. I will give a donation to a person that helps me fix it completely. (paypa)
Thanks guys.

Hi, i've been looking for a custom/stock ROM for n900w8, and I can't seem to find anything. Somewhere I read said you can use any N900T rom, but when i do, my data connection won't connect. Another ROM i tried, the data would connect but the wifi wouldn't work and there was no fix available. Does anybody know where I can find a ROM that will fully work on my phone without much tweaking?
Look for a unified ROM that will work on the Canadian Note 3. Also, it recommend having the latest bootloader and modem before flashing a custom ROM.
Sometimes, a T-mobile ROM will work if you flash something like Lean Kernel right after flashing the ROM and before the 1st boot.
You can use n900t and n9005 runs without any problems. Flash the universal twrp recovery (hlte). If data won't connect, try to manually enter the apn in the setting.
