You do need to. Try programming first for text and stuff but other than that yes. Or at least I did have to on my vogue.

so what does *22899 do, just gave me nothing on the other line?

It re-programs the data paremeters and stuff. Worked for me. I never called for a-keys when upgrading to GPS radio from non-GPS.

well, my first attempts at rom upgrades are a semi success! probly just being a super noob is why, but when i flashed GaMedics rom it doesnt look anything like his screenshots. any suggestions for a lowly noob? probably shouldnt be attempting my first rom flash's while gettin sauced on wine...

You should wait 30 days. Call Assuron and get a replacment. Tell them you lost your old one, say you already had Verizon blacklist the ESN. Then they won't expect you to return the phone. You'll have one to really tinker with...
