Ahh...sorry to not mention it. I did install the DCD Verizon Carrier.cab. Additionally, I searched until I found a newer carrier cab and tried that one. I was also having problems after the flash, which I was unaware was a problem before reading, with authentication issues. Finally, after four or five calls to CS, they overrode the authentication for the account. That worked fine after that. During my trials and tribulations, I accidentally "sprintized" the phone due to a screaming baby! I fixed that problem, but CS told me that the phone, even after the stock rom was flashed, was polling to sprint towers. I finally forced it out of roaming and got the authentication fixed, but still could not connect to data connect. Obviously I had to lie to CS and tell them that the stock rom was on the phone, but they were totally unable to fix the problem. They said, "Sounds like something funny got into your phone"! ...and that was Tier 3! They determined that the only course of action was to send me a new phone, which should be coming tomorrow and will probably be in the same shape as this one within a couple days!
