Well, each day I get a tiny step closer.

The updated Sprint stock ROM did allow the MSID to "take" and stay in there - but still no luck activating the phone. On their end, they see it, and they think it's activated. On my end, when I hit "talk" I hear "your account could not be activated".

At this point I think I've tried everything you guys have suggested to get the phone to work....

So barring any other ideas, I'm gonna go smile real nice at some sprint rep in the local store and ask for a new phone - like you suggested!



I've sure learned a lot! So...thank you , THANK you guys for all your help!

(you shoulda seen the look on the face of my IT guy at work today when I told him I'd hacked into the registry to bypass the digitizer. Not sure if it was b-c I was "a girl" or b-c it was something he'd never tried to do...!! LOL!)
