Flashing ?

[ski21]

Total Noob here, I've been reading and reading, then read some more. I'm confident I can do it, but got a question. Does flashing erase your phone set up. What I mean is when I first activate the phone i had to program my number and MDN and MSID. These wouldn't get erased where I would have to reprogram them again would it by flashing. I have a sprint touch 6900.

At it's most basic flashing returns your phone to factory fresh with the OS of your choice, so yes, you would need to redo any network specific configuration along with reinstalling any third party apps.

That said if you look you may well find a CAB file that has your network settings preconfigured so the reconfig is justa matter of instaling one thing.

Where would the cab be located at that has that information. Would I have to reactivate or just redo the mdn and msid.

to find the CAB, either ask your provider, search their web site or seacrh on here as there are many CABs for networks providers. As for what you have to redo, sorry can't help as I have a CAB for Vodafone UK and use that.

As deedee says, ask your provider and they will send you the settings. Mine did not however (Airtel-Vodafone & J Telecoms). Theres no harm in doing it the old way and writing them down for later use, part of the fun in flashing i think:D
