RESOLVED: FWIW Lost cell radio after *228 option 2 on N2C 5055 rom

Just to post as I haven't seen this before, all was well on No2Chems 5055 and I goofed and tried the *228, option 2 to update roaming.

I immediately lost the cell radio (showed searching and never caught a cell tower) after the soft reset and couldn't make any calls. Tried re-entering my MSID/MDN with no help. Called VZW tech support and they couldn't help and offered to replace; I told them I would call back.

I relocked, reflashed to Verizon stock, and after a *228 option 1 for initial settings, had to call tech support to get another A key and was able to get back to stock with no calling problems.

Then I tried to get back to the latest 5055; unlocked, flashed the Sprint upgrade, flashed the latest No2Chem's rom, and when it was done, I lost the radio again...

Relocked and reflashed to Verizon stock and again had to do initial programming and had no A key. Got back to them and got another A key and again, I'm good to go on stock VZ rom. So....

DON'T EVER TRY *228 option 2 if you are on Verizon after upgrading to N2C 5055 (and possibly the other custom roms).

I'll work tomorrow to see how I can get back to the upgraded rom... I'm thinking I'll do (from VZ stock) a *228 option 2 to see if some bizzare setting that may have gotten chewed up when trying with the modded Sprint rom resets when trying from the VZ rom and then go through the upgrade process again...

Arghhhh......
