No worries. Thanks for the help. I took the risk knowing it would be tough to revert back, but man did I learn a lot. This site is amazing!
I'm trying to flash the Alltell PPC6800 rom from HTC's site, then will see if *228 works. Otherwise I'll try and get ahold of my buddy. Worse case scenario I do have insurance, hopefully I don't "drop" the phone....$50 deductable is better than trying to explain to the service dept what I've been doing
