Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] Annoying problem...

[HaTrEd360]

So ever since I used the unbrick files and reflashed my phone, it keeps unactivating almost every time I have to reboot it. And then I have to magically find a way to get it activated again, and it just does it again as soon as I reboot. Also, I've noticed it "Optimizes" about 6 apps every time it boots as well. Which is different from the Android is upgrading thing, but still.

Did you try the WiFi

It causes all my phone identify settings to just show Unknown.

It sounds like you may didn't do the unbrick correctly

I can get it activated and everything just fine. It just takes several reboots once it finally inactivates randomly.

Use this guide if you want a paper weight on your desk.....

You may have downloaded a bad file.

I have used this guide several times to unbrick. Works like a charm. The progran makes it to 85% and the phone re-boots. As soon as it reboots you can disconnect your phone and you should be good to go.

Yeah I have unbricked 3 times now, but this last time seems to have fixed everything.

Nonetheless, I'm gonna sell this phone and buy an S3, I need a phone with development on it, it's hard to get help with a phone that no one wants to work on, lol.

Don't forget devs like me who are not used to the "so" locked bootloaders...

I just purchased a Note 3 so the next challenge i will have is knox which is not and issue other then voiding warranty.
