gah im at the store right now - re-houdini'd the phone - successfully
the only error message i had to push ok to was the alert for AWS not being compatable with this phone so it would only be able to roam in these markets - im in los angeles so it shouldnt matter... WTF



[edit]

ok success!!!
problem: msid + mdn did not update correctly with houdini. Need to call and ask what it should be. Input correct values with ##000000# [only shows those two - easier for some] and input what they say. MDN should be your 10-digit# - msid is sometimes the same, in my case not at all.
