Question about flashing roms

[barry2x]

when i flash a custom rom not a stock rom will it change the prl on my phone?

 

[LtKen]

Not sure -- I expect that it could.... Since you typically have to reactivate and all. Why do you ask?

 

[barry2x]

my droid is on appalachian wireless and i don't wanna mess up the pri or prl settings

 

[LtKen]

PRL is separate from the radio (unless I'm mistaken.....) As long as your ROM doesnt mess with the radio, it shouldnt matter.

Someone more experienced, please correct me.

ROMs do not mess with the radios(basebands) or PRLs. Flash ROM after ROM and these won't change.

Sent from somewhere...

And updating your PRL is a good idea every couple of weeks anyway.

I flashed my Alaska GCI a854 milestone/droid...with bugless and then cyanogen..I do see the baseband change from my stock 2.1 update1..My apn changes too..still working on getting the APN fixed..so be warned not sure about the PRLs

The baseband was updated from 2.1 to 2.2, yes.

Is your Motorola Droid a GSM or a CDMA version?

If it is a CDMA, installing custom ROM's will NOT mess with your radio settings, or PRL or Data Acces Setting. Radio settings are not stored on NAND or Flash, they are on another place (If you flash a Baseband they will change)

If your Droid is GSM APN settings may be erased, because they're stored on phone memory.

I have the a854 Milestone..CDMA..but if i flash say cyanogens I see the baseband is different and if I open apn..it will say verizon and not GCI. bugless beast and ultimate droid do the same
