If your phone is in recovery it will not be able to receive phone calls.

 

I think he is saying if he gives the rom to a friend, will it retain her information...IE, someone goes to call his wife, but it rings on the phone that installed the backup (let's say a friend's phone). I don't think this is the case, but I am not sure and someone will answer you better than I...Just wanted to clarify his questions...

 

That wouldn't be possible, the ESN is not touched by the ROMs and is infact illeagle to mess with

(the ESN is the what the network uses to identify the phone...)

 

Oh, if that is the case then no worries. You info is not stored in the ROM. It is stored in the radio chip I believe which is why you had to reactive your phone if you did the baseband update.

 

More so your phone number is tied to the phone serial number on verizons side.

 

Did you do a full wipe before installing the nandroid backup?

 

You shouldn't. When you install the backup on the other phone, just make sure to do a full system wipe, data & cache...Then it should prompt the user of the phone that you applied it to to enter their email, etc. Just like if it was a new phone...
