    Help Required Re-Activation on Verizon?

    I have a rooted Sony r800x (ZUES) running stock. The only time I ever flash anything is whenever I get stuck in a boot-loop, in which case, I re-flash the stock and it asks me to activate my phone whenever it is finished. I was wondering if it does this for every rom, because now I want cyanogenmod.
