Root [Sprint] Ting service

If you've already activated the phone on Ting you can root and put a custom ROM on it.
However, to activate a Sprint phone with Ting it has to have a stock Sprint ROM installed. I've read on their forums it's sometimes OK for it to be rooted before activating as long as the ROM is stock Sprint, but that can vary depending on your phone.
