i want to call verizon but i am paranoid that they will nix my warranty for programming the phone

Then you shouldn't have messed with your phone. Live and learn. But really they can't tell you did anything to your phone. The same thing happens when you hard reset the phone so hint hint and that can be what you tell them.

you guys are telling me that i can't flash it back to stock? but how come in this thread it says that is how you fix it after being Sprintized.

i think it also says that in XDA Wiki. I went back and Read GAMedic's and it says for verizon users with new radio rom you have to call for AKey but you guys are saying that's the same as *228 program?

Ga's guide was from before MR1 came out. You DO NOT NEED to call Verizon for a new A-Key. They will have you dial *22899. Seriously, you should be toying around with things that are not supported by your carrier if you aren't gonna take time to read and be careful. Good luck

Sprint pwns VZW in every way including this

azrael201 · #18 (**permalink**) 02-24-2009, 08:10 PM

not to say i'm not thankful but i can't help feeling that you guys are all trying to be smug and told you so. of course no one should be messing with this and that unless they know what they are doing-what's the point of throwing a cliche at me. You guys are making me out to be the first person in history to botch a flash.

yes i'm still thankful through all the help delivered as admonishments.

so consensus is just call Verizon?

I would reflash to stock VZ rom, hard reset, and then call vz and let them know that you had to hard reset because it was acting funny and you though it would help, and now you have no internet.

A small white lie, but in the ballpark of the truth.

And next time you'll be more careful

No worries man. We've all done something where we wish we had that wayback machine for the do-over. In the grand scheme of life, this has to be pretty low on the list.

Actually. He should look for "how to revert to PRI 1.35.002" Let those customizations run and such. Then call and get them to fix it, or deactivate your phone and put an old one on. Then, reactivate the 6800 and dial *22899, DO NOT DIAL *228 and select options, even if they tell you to. It will mess up the PRI, just take my advice and you should be good to go.
