Root Can you root a unactivated phone?

[Boostermike]

My friend sent me a prevail and asked me to root it for him ( I use one). But I need to do it without activating it. Is there a way to root it this way. Also will Boost let him activate it on his account if it has been rooted before they activate it?

I have a computer and cable to connect to the phone, so is there a way to do it that way?

Or maybe though using my rooted phone and a sim card that my phone was backed up to, then but the sim card from my rooted phone into his phone and do a restore???

Yes you can. I don't think they care if it's rooted or not.

FYI Boost doesn't use SIM cards

Sorry Arizona heat getting to me (it is 125 today and I have been working outside)... I meant Micro SD card... Silly brain dead me.....

OK so "how" do I Root an unactivated phone. Do I just do it though a computer connection?

 

[vce2005]

Same procedure as with and activated phone........ Connect your phone via USB to your comp, put it in "Download" mode, use Odin and put the image ( FE16_Rooted or FF19_Rooted ) on............voila !!!

Edit : And of course, after putting the image on, you need to install a ROM.........

Use the "Dummies Guide" in the All things root section and follow it. !
