man i told myself that i would not get involved , but u guys really miss the mark when it comes to the carrier settings/
im not going to go into great lengths to get u going, it probably would just confuse u more. But during this whole thread i never heard u attempt to ( i forgot what its called IOTA i think) but its were u dial *228 to reprogram your phone to the specifications of your carrier. im going to go out on a limb and say that the upgrade shouldnt have changed your esn, and to the best of my knowledge, upgrading to a rom wouldnt do that. it does sound like what "azclown" had said about the radio version. i myself had to find the right way to lock and unlock my phone to be able to upgrade to the different ROMs/

make sure u upgrade and downgrade the (Hard_MFG_SPL) as needed for the roms and radios/

example; for me to try radio 3.37, i had to downgrade my "Hard_MFG_SPL 2.40 " to the 1.20"

then i was able load the new radio, of coarse i wanted to load a fresh copy of DCD 3.04, and forgot to put back the Hard_MFG_SPL 2.40. needless to say i kept getting error messages until i realized i forgot to reload the necessary Hard_MFG_SPL 2.40 version to be able to load the custom rom/ needless to say it is a pain in the butt, but everything worked out/

PS: i also thanked AZclown 4 u, he deserves it.

================================================== ============

i cant believe some of the trouble u guys get into with this rom upgrading/ I have cricket as my carrier ( which they dont carry this phone, and insurance is out of the question, and u better believe that their tech agents r clueless, BUT i have managed to get everything working just fine / and u can 2
