OK, here's how my morning went.

Flashed v4.1 again, still no mms
Flashed VZW 6.5 release (had to reauthenicate phone) mms worked
Flashed v4.0;v3.2;v3 each could not receive mms (I checked sending a mms on v3 to another phone sucessfully, but could not forward the picture back to my phone) Still receiving the "message expired or not available" error
took out the memory card and reflashed v4.1 resent mms from another phone and got error "message expired...".
Hard reset.
I can send mms but cannot receive.
I'll try more troubleshooting later.

I beleive that I had checked mms for v3 by sending myself a message but I'm not sure. I have gotten lazy checking out the phone after flashing (probably because I never found an issue). If it wasn't for being able to send/receive mms on the vzw stock rom, I'd say I had an issue with my phone or the server. Now I'm not sure. I did not install any other programs during this testing.

Confused in WA,

Edit: I did a little searching on the internet. It appears this is a VZW issue. People have reported this problem intermittently for a while. Some say they have a fix (didn't work for me). Others say it fixed itself after a while. Guess I'll wait and see. I don't use mms much anyway LOL. (why it worked when I loaded the vzw rom I don't know???)
