Hi Guys,

I've also had this happen to me on each of the last 4 times that I have upgraded my ROM. In my case I'm not able to make calls. Each time I get the message "we are unable to validate your phone. If this issue persists please call #8899". On the nmost recent occassion I called Verizon on a land line and they instructed me to call ##778 to reprogram the phone. However, that did not work at all so in the end the tech fixed once again remotely.

I'm running the latest Blackout ROM and I always reload the latest Verizon stock ROM to preserve the current radio and then hard reset, load the new ROM and then hard reset, all of the time with my SDD card out of the phone.

This issue appears to be a relatively recent issue as I have updated my ROM on many occassions before with no subsequent call issues. Help and comment from any one would be much appreciated.
