[Q] is there a rom that doensnt require you to activate *228?

---

i ask because i just bought this eris from someone and it didn't have service and every Rom that i install asks me to activate. i want to flash it but i don't know if it will work if i cant access cdma workshop.

the froyo roms don't require me to activate right away but ##3424# doesn't work for DM command service any suggestions?

Typically, NONE of the Eris dev ROMs require activation, so long as the phone was successfully activated in the past without an intervening factory reset.

The only time I have ever needed to activate my Eris was after a Factory Reset performed from within a stock 2.1 HTC release - wiping /data from within Amon_RA and flashing a new ROM does not seem to affect the activation status of the phone.

i have flashed probably 10 roms and have never had to reactivate my phone. ever.

wonder if some people just do this assuming incorrectly that it needs to be done everytime?

I just looked at the OP and realized that maybe a slightly different Q was being asked - activation bypass?

On several different ROMs, I was able to initiate the activation call, and then hang up immediately - on the 3rd or fourth. try, the phone would allow you to continue.

I have also read posts here that claimed you could touch all four corners of the screen in a certain order, and that would bypass something (I can't remember, maybe someone else can chime in).

Confirmed, worked for me after the 4th try I think. I just kept alternating between the home and menu button so I'm not sure which actually worked.
