i was told to try and take it to a sprint authorized dealer rather than a sprint coporate store, but i cant seem to find one here in sacramento... at this point i have a phone that will not work on either network..
any ideas??????????

Are you saying you flashed the phone to Metro and are trying to activate it on Sprint, or did you re-flash it to Sprint before trying to get it activated on Sprint? If the first scenario is correct, then it's no wonder Sprint can't activate it. You're asking them to activate a Metro device on the Sprint network. If the second scenario is correct, then there may be issues with the device. Did you buy the phone directly from Sprint, or through a third party, i.e. eBay or craigslist? If it was a third party purchase, you need to make sure you have a clean ESN (as suggested by fhero). If the ESN is bad, it may be close to impossible to get the device activated
