After DCD 2.0 flash no *228 or internet
 

My original rom did not have an AKey and works just fine. I installed DCDs Beta 2.0 rom with the new Radio. The install went ok, but when I try to do the *228 it tells me the feature code is not available. When I try to make a local call it tells me to enter the area code and when I do calls work. When I try to use Internet I get a PPP error.

If I downgrade back to the Verizon stock rom phone calls work, *228 works, etc.

I would like to get the new ROM & Radio working. Am I missing something?

try *228, and you do need an a-key, trust me.
If you cant get it working, load it up with stock and take it to vzw.

When I put the stock rom back on I can use *228 and updates successfully and phone calls work without a hitch. But when I check PST, the AKEY is empty. Why would that be?

i think mine was the same. you need to call #8899 and get an akey. just say thats all you need. but i was able to call *228 before i got an akey. I havent had your problem before, so i dont know whats causing it. did you try *22899?

What is *228 for?

For doing some updates on VZW's network. I think it gets an updated list of towers or something like that.

Ok I called Verizon and got an Akey. I flashed to the DCD Beta 2.0 with the new Radio. I still get the same message "the feature code you entered is not valid". So I entered the AKEY and still get the same message. I also took pictures of all of the settings in the EPST and entered them the same and still getting the same. If I try the internet I get error code 11 (ppp connection error).

The funny thing is I can receive calls and make calls if I include the area code....

Any have more ideas please?

"The feature code you've entered is not valid" is a message you get when you dial *228 on Sprint. You are apparently accessing Sprint, not Verizon. I do not know what you need to do to put your phone back on Verizon.

You might get better results if your thread title said that you were on the DCD ROM, not 3.16, which is the Sprint test ROM.

That's what I was thinking. I did make sure to download the Verizon Rom. I also called *611 and it went to verzion. *86 goes to my voice mail.

Would manually updating the PRL help?

According to this post I just found (search is your friend) ##786 might help. The PRL update will probably not help, but you can give it a try.

You said that in the Verizon ROM phone calls work but you get invalid user name on Internet access. You did enter the Verizon user name and password?
